A lot of debate here is debating a social media ban. But what actually being banned is accounts, not access.

Australian teens can still scroll TikTok, Instagram, and watch Twitch streams from logged out accounts. They just can't comment, like, or upload their own content.

One might argue that this removes the algorithmic feeds. But I would wager that social media companies will just use browser fingerprinting to continue to serve algorithmic content to logged out users, if they aren't doing this already.

My take. This ruling seems to impact the content creators (from Australia specifically) more than the content viewers. Which I'm not sure is the intent of the legislation.

I wonder if part of the reason they haven't released on Windows is because Edge has a lot of these features with Copilot. E.g. Copilot Vision and Copilot Actions.

You forgot to mention my favorite dual-pane file manager for Windows: [FreeCommander](http://freecommander.com/).

I know fman is still pretty young, so for now I'm sticking with FreeCommander. Also, fman was too slow using Windows network drives which I have to use at work. Local files are fine. Plus, there are a few features of FreeCommander that I can't live without including the tab interface, multi-file renamer, built-in archive handling, and many more. Although fman does look like a cool project, hopefully it will catch up in terms of speed and functionality with user-provided plugins.
