What’s the theme? I tried a few but they didn’t look as good. Yours seems to fit great with Gnome 40+.

Sorry, I thought it was obvious I was sarcastic about their “mistake”. They want to be seen as the victims like they didn’t know in advance the outcome of their decisions. Backing down on the changes only to show something “less worst” is only a way to make the pill easier to swallow. Unity cannot be trusted anymore.

How to be a company in 2023

1. Make a controversial move to please your shareholders without caring about your loyal customers.
2. Don’t use a proper PR team, just use the same apology template on Twitter that everyone is using.
3. People are angry… Could anyone seen that coming? 🙈
4. Undo some changes without addressing the root problem.
5. ???
6. Profit (if by profit, you mean loose every inch of respect people had about you)

Rinse & repeat, because we’re all humans and we can’t learn from our mistakes. Surely, this won’t happen again… right?

I’m using a mix of Sync and Eternity. I was using Infinity for Reddit before the migration.

Because Sync came first, it’s still my default way to navigate Lemmy but Eternity is slowly growing on me. I prefer to alternate between a few apps to stay up to date on the alternatives, and to ensure I don’t become dependant on a single app/interface.

I’ve also tested a few times Photon, great web UI which can be installed as a PWA.

Good analogy. The battle shouldn’t be about forcing abandonware to be opensource. We should focus on DRM, it makes games almost impossible to play when servers shut down.

OP should have compared it to other medias such as movies. When you buy a box copy, you expect it to work long after the authors/studios/etc. are gone.

The issue is about the lack of legal ways to play older games as time moves on. It will only grow bigger in the next few years with even more games relying on DRM and online servers.

Fair enough, I was only joking haha. I’m using both Sync and Eternity (known as Infinity for Lemmy) and both clients render Markdown. Can’t say for others clients. Seems like not every client see the same thing…

Everyone should use uBlock + Facebook Container. It’s still far from perfect, but every step counts.

Windows Terminal + WSL, everything related to Xbox if you’re using Gamepass or “Play anywhere” titles (Xbox/PC cross-buy).

Most basics apps are from the Microsoft app store too; calculator, calendar, paint, etc.

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve used Windows, but you’d be surprise how much apps are now updated through that app store.

If your device use Windows in S mode, all your apps must come from the store & you must use Edge.

From what I’ve seen online, it must be done during installation. So short answer, no.

As others have said, you could also backup your data and do a fresh installation (from a boot media, not from Windows itself just to be extra safe).

ThioJoe also has a video talking about this English (Europe/World) thing and also provide a Powershell script to delete Windows bloatware. This option could be interesting if you don’t want to reset your whole installation.

You must switch back to English (US) after installation if you want access to Microsoft Store (and even if you don’t, you probably should because most apps are now there).

I’ve seen a few tools to suppress most telemetry such as ChrisTitusTech’s winutil or O&O ShutUp, maybe you could give that a try. Microsoft is really pushing hard Bing & Edge…

Also, as a Linux user, I must obliged to the rules and say there’s alternatives out there if you want to try something new. :-) !linux@lemmy.ml

Same scenario for me! My laptop only serve to have a device when I’m on-the-go, but at home, I use my desktop. It was one of the reason why I went with an older Thinkpad, it’s well supported and with no dedicated GPU, it’s dead silent most of the time. I’d love a 16:10 screen, but the options are pretty expensive and often not as repairable as my T480.

Seems like someone is new with Markdown notation haha :-)

You probably tried to write “number 1 […]” but the hash (#) converted your whole text to a Heading level 1.

I’d say lack of marketing and higher price tags. Money / Performance ratio is also better with a decent Thinkpad.

Some of these options can’t (or not without high markups) be bought and shipped to Canada.

Because it use common hardware and bought “en masse” by enterprises; they tend to be more supported with FOSS than other options.

I’ve been happy with my used T480 so far.

…and no one is surprised. [KilledByGoogle]

Recently used Porkbun for a .xyz domain for reverse proxy / DNS challenge. Price was about 2-3CAD$ for the first year, renewal at +/-10CAD$/year. My usage is pretty simple, but it’s been great so far.

They owe you nothing, stop sucking corporations balls. You won’t be compensated for your “efforts”.

I paid for Tilla, it’s a great app to manage subscriptions. I get notifications when the next payment is due. Pretty simple UI but that’s what I like about it. You can check how much you spend per week/month/year.

Go build a gaming PC.

Don’t forget the table and to use a Swiss Army knife that hopefully has a screwdriver in it.

Saving this post for later! I got started yesterday with Miniflux and didn’t know where to look for good RSS feeds. Can’t have a better timing than this haha!

It’s not really bad per se, it’s the default on most Android devices these days. The problem is that almost all modern browsers are Chromium-based which give Google a lot of power to implement changes (see manifest v3 & web DRM). Personally, I’m trying to slowly reduce my usage of Google products. I’m using Firefox on desktop and a mix of DDG+Fennec on my phone.
