I miss waking up at 3am to see what the new 4 hour deals with crazy discounts would be.

See, the trick is to own everything.

Then you don’t even care about sales anymore because you already own anything and everything thats on sale and interesting.

wonder who he pissed off that ordered the supreme court infiltrators to rule against him.

Authorative drive is what makes software more inclusive. It can focus the resources and attention where its needed, to create a superior product. Linus being a bulldog with the Kernel is proof enough with that.

Design by commitee does not make things more inclusive. It just leads to people not getting their way, having a huff, and screaming “I’M GOING TO FORK THIS AND GO MAKE MY OWN VERSION, WITH BLACKJACK, AND HOOKERS!”, and now you have two teams doing the same thing, and being lesser due to the split dev time and attention. and will probably lead to more forks, and more splits of teams.

Doesnt mean it has to be monolithic/monoculture. but a single product that serves 80% of everyones wants and desires is a better, superior product to one that tries to cater to and serve 100% to each, different individual.

and most people wont even notice the 20% difference in their everyday usage and life. They just get told something, or get a wrong idea, and are hard pressed to give it up cause humans can rarely admit their own wrong.

I 100% put money on the fact that linuxes surge in popularity and usability is 100% because Valve, a multi-billion dollar company, stepped in and started dragging it forward in ways that the fractuous nature of the community never could.

Windows 11 being a spytastic invasive dogpile was just extra fuel on the fire.

To much diversity of options and choices are just as bad and damaging as having none at all.

yeah, linux is super usable for every day shit, and even gaming now. I havent had a significant problem in years, and i’m not a sysadmin or something that knows the mystic ways of the commandline or anything. I’m just a random idiot

they also love spitting on 9 year olds who dare to wear shorts and t-shirts in the middle eastern summer, and call them whores and harlots.

one of the few hurdles gaming on linux hasnt fully managed to climb over is modding gamebryo games. Mostly because the mod managers themselves are a pita.

Exactly why I use browser and not apps, too. and if they try to strongarm me with better prices or degraded services, I just stop using them all together.

how is everyone remembering their ICQ number?

I forgot mine 5 minutes after adding it to Trillian.

Russian propaganda is coming from the tankies from .ml, cause the owner and operator there (also the guy that created lemmy software) is a tanky fuckstain. So him and all his tankie brotatos over there regularly sup on russian cock and sip the KGBKoolaid

Occasionally one of the mouth breathers gets the bright idea to register an account on a different shard so they arent obviously a .ml, but they are still obviously tankies

Like I said, its intentional. Nothing to fix because its doing exactly what they want. Cause they want you to install the app, which they have much greater control over and ability to harvest from.

its cause of the stupid way mega downloads file to your ram, and only when its fully downloaded does it get moved to the drive or something along those lines, its been a while since i’ve looked into it.

Its megas limitation by intentionally doing shit a stupid way then blaming the browser for it.

what is it with asshole streamers always ending up being pedophiles?

He had to be doing something inappropriate for him to get blasted off twitch and his own gaming company and shit.

Just because it wasnt enough for him to be arrested doesnt mean it wasnt harmless. Probably just means he got caught to quickly.

Climate change will never be solved. It wont even be mitigated.

It will just continue to get worse until it stops being a curiosity the rich invest into solutions (which will never be practical for scale) for positive coverage, and shift their money into their survival plans… Bunkers, Sea Living (under sea or on ships), or space ships to get to lunar colonies or mars.

A small, lucky few of the proletariate might even get selected to be “Saved” along side them, because afterall… the Rich need their menial labor.

And everyone else will suffer and die.
