But their is no button to upload. The website is useless.

I would say that a site that doesn’t work without JavaScript is broken, yes

This. I recommend reading Chomsky’s Manufacturing Consent. Or, you could watch the movie
- Comment on The USA prided itself on a nation of immigrant, heck even the Statue of Liberty says it. When did immigrants (US citizens from the old world) become anti immigrant and why? 4 weeks ago:
The US is not anti immigrant.
There’s a few greedy white people with lots of money who bought the media and the elections who are anti-immigrant.
Don’t confuse policy with popular sentiment.

Nah, Half of the credit unions in the US use software that uses TOTP for 2FA.
My bank in EU does not, so I have to have a physical hardware token to generate OTPs, due to broken regulations

When I was tasked with buying laptopa for a company, I made sure to test Linux compatibility on every machine. If the model didn’t support Linux, we didn’t buy it.
Most of the devs were windows users, but there were enough devs and sysadmins that preferred Linux that it just made more sense to only buy hardware that supports both windows and Linux.
Corporate pressure would never allow such lockdown in the market
