There it is! That’s the meme!

If Lemmy is extreme leftist, this person is likely to be conservative or they keep stumbling into Grad and think that’s the whole platform.

I tend to lean towards ineptitude in this case though.

This person might not be that great with computers, based on reading their replies.

Is it better or worse that Elon considers this pocket change?

I consider Lemmy to be more pseudonymous. Which is to say, I am practically anonymous to most users, but it wouldn’t take much for someone with resources to pester my instance into giving up my IP.

The content of my posts, comments, and votes is intentionally public information.

It’s the same group of people. They’re buddies.

Oh look, yet another person being disappeared by the government again.

That’s real neat!

Perhaps a graphic depicting the extreme consolidation of news would help?

I find you still have to fuss with partitions. There isn’t a simple wipe everything and install option. You have to manually select the partitions on the disk, delete them and create a new one which somehow triggers it to create several partitions.

There is an upgrade option.

And then they tell you they don’t want a Microsoft account and you have to look up what’s the current hack to get around that if possible.

That said, I think the Linux install experience is very clear about what it’s going to do.

What’s the difference?

To be fair, Windows wasn’t meant to be installed by the end user that often. It comes preinstalled.

I don’t need friends that are Windows users.

“Are You Alive Project” targeting what these operatives believe to be improper payments and fraud within the agency’s system by calling individual beneficiaries.

They won’t be when you starve seniors to death on the streets, fucking ghouls.

Don’t worry. It hasn’t forgotten about you.

My god that looks amazing. Bet those tortillas are warm, too.

PWA rant incoming.

The context of your question reminds me of why I had to leave app development – it’s a race to the technological bottom. It’s a real damn shame that PWAs work so well because it points to distribution and consumer reach to be the real limiting factors in writing a great application rather than infrastructure and code. It shouldn’t have to be this way, but it is because we don’t want to write an app for every platform separately. However, when we do this, we lose something and that is the vision for how the OS developer intended for applications to operate and interact with the rest of the system. It’s a gap-filling technology that makes up for the lack of consistency between platforms that just never sat very well with me. It’s something that shouldn’t need to exist, but it does to fill an important role that could be designed out of an ideal system.

Rant over. Think I will label this as a rant at the beginning of the comment before wasting readers’ time.

We need Android because at some point an app needs to interact with the real system. This could be through a library or some kind of native plugin. Sure, we could accept it’s proprietary all the way down in the system, but that would be a dark world to live in, indeed. We could live without it, but we should care.

Golden parachute primed and ready to bail, sir!

They cannot take back the open license code. Only the future work is closed.

I find it freeing. It places limits on the responsibilities of a mortal.

Chowning the libs.

So much for the claims I read that it would be a more open platform. I can’t see how this possibly benefits the users.

The product is not open source and it is mainly controlled by a company through its servers and proprietary components. They own it. Even if they use some open protocols. They are about as open as OpenAI — they are not.
