Pretty fucking gay

The issue, as always, is that Plex started to put free existing features behind a paywall to squeeze more money out of their client base instead of adding something and charging for it.

VC money came in and now the VC wants to cash in on the investment.

VMWare is popular for a reason. qemu is less accessible for the non-tech people of this world.

You buy a cheap phone. No need to pay for license, setup anything except a vpn maybe and you are good to go.

Setting up lots of VM takes a decent computer, some licenses and a know how.

A phone, you just start it and it connects to a VPN and your good to go.

If the apartment/house layout is good for the roomba, it is a great tool. It doesn’t replace vacuuming and floor washing, but it does reduce the dirtness on the floor.

When I have to use a Windows machine for whatever reason, the first thing I do is to install Chocolatey so that I can have a decent package manager.

At this point, it is weaponized incompetence. You tell someone once or twice that closing the lid is not turning off the power and that should be it.

Crab men, half crab half man

So back to cable packages. Fucking dumb

Tired of the constant pop ups in windows 10. The constant upselling of their product.

An OS shouldn’t get in the way of what you are doing and Windows was always popping up some bullshit.

Lemmy is a social media after all, and we have to assume that what we write is public.

Lemmy is great because many instances allow people to create accounts without an email, so you can create burner accounts if you want.

This isn’t an oversight. If you aren’t comfortable with the coversations you are participating in or the upvote/downvote you make, you either don’t participate or you create a burner account for that.

If you stick to popular free software, the jank is limited.

The Linux userspaces have a lot of enthusiastic people that create their own software and share it, and thus it seems like there is lot of janky stuff (because there is).

It feels like Windows has been captured by corporations and so the market is competitive. There isn’t much space for enthusiast developpers to tackle a different vision of a popular software.

So yeah, I agree with you, lots of janky software in Linux, but that’s the beauty of it IMO. If you stick to popular softwares, the jank is somewhat equivalent to Windows.

You’ve used Windows for so long that you don’t remember how it was when you first started using it.

This isn’t different than what you are doing with Linux. The flow gets better and better and you will acquire the experience needed to navigate the issues. It takes time, that’s all.

I know that already, I’m fine with what I said.

My comment was misguided because it didn’t take the US social context into account.

You can’t say it, but I can though.

Categorising Palestine Action as a terrorist group is ultra dumb.

Same, and I use portainer to manage my docker compose stacks.

I can bring down a container without bringing down the whole stack of services.

No we shouldn’t. Anyone can create an instance and scrape whatever data.

Assume that all the posts and comment you make are public and linked to your real identity and don’t say things you wouldn’t say in person.

It’s a pretty simple concept.

Yeah, I opened the website thinkint it would be the github list with a better search, but it’s 95% AI crap

I got the meaning of it as well, but I recoiled a bit in my chair when I read the meme.

That’s you and me being old.
