There not doing a very good job of locking people in tbh. Basically all software runs fine on windows.

Its an absolute non issue to run non MS apps on windows.

Replying from Ubuntu (distro of the month for me) though, so I know other. I wouldn’t say better, just different

Windows is perfectly fine for day to day use. 80% of my PC use (and probably 99% for like most people I know) is in a browser. The remaining 20% is in video games. My browser works 100% the same in Linux as it does in Windows. Video games overall are easier to use in Windows. (I use Steam (90% fine with Linux) and Gamepass, which does not play well with Linux).

But feel free to continue to complain about windows :)

I love how the lemmy FoSS Linux hivemind still down votes you to almost oblivion.

They still haven’t figured out this isn’t reddit. Shouldn’t downvote just because you don’t agree with something my dudes…

A folder 1

AA folder 2

AAA folder 3

Who cares about readability and logic. My outlook work archives are a mess.

Tbh anyone claiming they can’t see the difference between 1080 and 4k on a monitor at a normal viewing distance is being disingenuous or has vision problems. The difference is very very noticeable.

That being said, I find the step from a 60hz to a 120hz monitor a bigger qol improvement than going from 1080 to 4K. But that’s my personal opinion.

Any post on lemmy that goes against the Linux/ FoSS hivemind gets down voted instantly, regardless if it is well thought out or not.

I assume you help and financially support your instance of choice to help them with server costs? Video platforms are much more expensive to host than text platforms like mastodon or lemmy.

Tbh, if you’re that nervous about crossing the border with data, I’m sure you could find other ways to use the internet and decent encryption (behind multiple layers and/or people with a Deadman’s switch if you’re really paranoia and worried a judge will force you to unlock the precious 4mb worth of information) to protect your data when crossing a border.

Or probably even safer if you’re talking about just 4mb of data: send it from a random address in one country to a postbox in your destination or something by post. Tampering with mail carries a pretty heavy fine in most countries, chances a random postman opens a random envelope to a random address abroad are basically non existant. Security through obscurity.

I like reading about infosec, but some of it borders on absolute paranoia tbh :)

I would buy your soap

Can vouch for that series. Great fun.

Man, this should also be a thing for humans. Seeing my grandmother deteriote very slowly is just painful. She wants it to end, we want it to end seeing her deaf, borderline blind and slowly turning incontinent, but her very old body just keeps going on and on without needing long term medical care. Should be part of human rights, dying on your own terms (without having to resort to violence, eg suicide)

That game was the total opposite for me. Played it at launch and sunk in like 40h in a week. Absolutely loved it. Put it aside for a while and I have never been able to spend more than 30m on it since…

Halloween is over. I’m setting up my tree tomorrow morning. I’ll only take it down mid February. I’ll blast Christmas songs the entire time. It’s the best season of the year. Fuck only celebrating it in December.

Nothing beats sitting around a Christmas tree in the evening watching TV with the entire family for almost 4 months

Yeah, once you have kids, you realize the magic of Xmas trumps any other potential issues one might have with it.

Kids don’t think about all the issues of “free toys, stranger danger, weirdo in my house, lapsitting on an older dude”.

For them Christmas is pure magic. I would never take this away from my Kids. My eldest knows the truth, he still loves pretending and making my youngest kids believe.

Sometimes the magic of a situation is much more important than the “educational value”. You won’t traumatize your kids by having santa come and have the best morning of their entire year…

Nog nooit van België gehoord?

1. Limburg
2. anywhere but Tokyo and Osaka?

Tetris? Any remake they’ve made was basically just a texture pack?

Fair enough. Most articles are still about the original article, but it does seem the bcc (or at least the dinosaurs in control) has its own (shitty) trans agenda… .

Thanks for not attacking me, but giving actual info. Appreciate it.

I’ll certainly be more wary about the bbc in the future.

OK, that’s one really article that was in bad faith, but I would argue the topic has journalistic value. But it should have been more nuanced.

Does that make the entire bbc transphobic? I am in full support of trans rights (I have a gender fluid child), but not everything is 100% black and white (cfr gender ;)) , one bad article doesn’t make the entire bbc transphobic.

Can you expand on that? They’re my main news source and I’ve never got transphobic vibes from them.
