Prices mysteriously go up about a week before prime day sales, then drop to a few dollars below normal, scream “39% off” and you feel like you beat the system.

Gladly this practice is illegal in Finland at lest. Here companies having sales have to show the lowest price of that product within the last 30 days just for this very reason.

That’s usually the answer to these kind of questions.

Mine too.

Businesses can’t be expected to indefinitely support a piece of technology for free.

Of course not but they themselves announced long ago that win10 will be EOL’d in October 2025. Then later they announced that you can buy extra support for plenty and increasing amounts of money. And now this.

Though even longer ago they announced that win10 will be the last windows ever.

So windows 10 isn’t EOL’d in October 2025 after all.

Good riddance. It was never about privacy anyhow. Only to enhance google’s monopoly in ads.

Ran into that as well. Just use “repair vesktop” option from the right click menu on the icon when it’s running. That fixes it. You’ll stay logged in etc.

Laughs in FreeTube.

at least existing features and data remain free.

For now.

The file system was not unmounted cleanly so the dirty bit is 1 -> windows tells you to check the drive. This clears the dirty bit even if nothing was wrong.

laughs in btrfs and xfs

Have a look at https://european-alternatives.eu/, https://www.privacytools.io/ and https://www.privacyguides.org/en/tools/

It’s all Fediverse. You can follow things on lemmy on mastodon and vice versa and so on.

Not the same thing. With session saving I don’t have configure anything.

KDE + wayland on Tumbleweed gave me this experience.

Wayland has at least one deal breaker for me. It doesn’t remember where my windows were at logout when saving the session. I have six virtual desktops and have specific windows in certain desktops. Putting everything back where they belong after each login, no thank you. Until they add that I’ll stick to X11.

On a related note. Why would creators add sponsored segments/other sponsoring/patreon etc if YT pays them enough?

Even youtube doesn’t pay the creators that much. Lois Rossman in a recent video showed some of his video in YT that had over 200k views and generated ~100 USD of income.

Nebula pays creators, and you pay to Nebula.

Even university students studying computer science don’t have this basic knowledge anymore.
