Google lost its ad monopoly trial, Mozilla is concerned about the future of the company:
https://betanews.com/2025/04/18/google-has-lost-its-ad-tech-monopoly-trial-and-mozilla-is-scared/
("If the Department of Justice truly wants to fix competition, they can’t solve one problem by creating another." - as much as I dislike Mozilla, I think they are mostly right here. It was a really poorly made decision, and won't solve anything, as for Mozilla, they will probably get paid by Microsoft to make Bing the default in Firefox, or slowly go bankrupt, and leave the Gecko engine to the community which won't have enough capacity to compete with Google (or if they will be forced to sell Chrome and step down from the Chromium project, it will likely be Microsoft, to maybe kill off Chrome like they did with Skype and Atom, and take control of Chromium), Firefox and its forks will be the next Internet Explorers...)
("Gecko powers Firefox (and other independent browsers) and puts privacy and people first." - nah, unfortunately Firefox is pretty far from a privacy-respecting browser nowadays. A real privacy browser should be private without any manual hardening. But it needs to stay alive because it's the base for some real privacy browsers like LibreWolf.)
(There's quite a lot of aspect of this whole Google thing, maybe it deserves a separate post.)

VirtualBox 7.1.8 Adds Support for Linux Kernel 6.14
Ubuntu 25.04 is out this week and many will be turning to virtual machine to test, trial or tie the release into their development workflows — perfect timing for a new version of VirtualBox, then! Oracle today (April 15) issued the fourth maintenance update in the current VirtualBox 7.1 series. No new features were added but a flurry of bug fixes, stability boosts and integration buffs are present, which users across all supported OSes will benefit from. For Linux users frustrated at flakey wireless network adapter detection in earlier releases, the 7.1.8 update fixes the issue. Similarly, anyone ticked off

VirtualBox 7.1.8 fixes rare clock rollback, GUI cursor glitches, and improves support across Linux and Windows with several key Guest Additions updates.

Grrrr #VirtualBox is pissing me off.
One of my USB devices absolutely refuses to work with it. It's an NFC reader/writer.
It can be seen with lsusb, it shows up in VB's list, but then it describes itself as an "Unknown Device" and gives NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG (0x80070057).
Please #Linux nerds - explain what trivial thing I am missing!
(Yes, I have updated to latest versions, my account is in the vboxusers group, I have rebooted, USB is connected directly.)
Das klingt gut. - Wie virtualisiere ich einen Windows rechner dergestalt, dass ich ihn dann mit Virtualbox betreiben kann?
Beste theoretische Lösung: kann ich eine VMware VM importieren?
"Kannst". - Dualboot... hm, erfordert immer einen Neustart, dafür hat man "beide" Rechner dabei; da muss ich mal länger drüber nachdenken, auch eine gute Idee.
Problem: ich brauche dann auch noch einen Outlook-Ersatz, der ohne Server auf beiden Betriebssystemen immer den gleichen Datenstand hat.
#Virtualbox für #Linux: Kann ich damit auch einen Windows11-64Bit-Rechner emulieren? - Ziel ist es dann die nicht Linux-kompatiblen Programme darin laufen zu lassen.

@friesenjung Hallo, ich stelle auf #LinuxMint um und habe auch das Problem, dass ich von einigen Programmen beruflicher Natur nicht von Windoof wegkomme. #wine und #winebottles probiert, läuft leider nicht stabil. Ich werde jetzt Win11 in einer #virtualbox betreiben, für die wenigen Programme. und mittels https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat auf das Notwendigste runterstrippen. So der Plan ...
Je ne comprenais pas pourquoi je n'arrivais pas à créer un pont avec virt-manager (QEMU/KVM) pour accéder à mes VMs. J'ai créé mes VMs en QEMU/KVM session utilisateur.
Il m'a fallut du temps pour comprendre que le problème venait de là.
La solution et l'explication se trouvent ici:

How does one run virtualized Windows 1x on (#Fedora) #linux? Boxes/Connections, #VMWare Workstation (can't even download it now), #virtualbox, #virtmanager, anything else?
Fun with #virtualbox
The current guest additions for #windows 7 are not working. Using the 7.1.4 addtions though work. In case anyone has problems with running older #windows versions in #virtualbox
