I hope you’re right. That is good news if true.

Good news for Lemmynites.

The site is literally bought, paid for, and owned by a nazi.

Next question.

No. Get the hell off my computer and stay off.

Not only is my personal information on my computer, but so is client information and projects that I signed a NDA that only my eyes shall ever see them.

Huh. I’ve seen no sign of it on my phone. I wonder if it’s a country/location thing.

Way ahead of you. I already use an alternative paid email service, don’t use Android, and don’t use Google search.

A haunting reminder that rainbow capitalism is 100% about profit and convenience.

Corporations were never your friend. They were never going to defend you.

Gross. Going to hold onto my 14P for as long as I can.

I was driving out of a parking lot yesterday just as a Cybertruck started to pull in off the street from the left. The driver was white-knuckling the wheel and was frantically looking around as I assume he could barely see out of the goddamn thing as he swung so wide he nearly clipped my car. He needed almost the entire driveway to make his turn.

I cannot imagine dropping so much money on something so useless and so hideous.

Apple is likely counting on iOS fans who have resisted the temptation of getting one of the top foldable phones already available as they wait for a foldable iPhone

I think that has more to do with the fact that folding phones are eye-wateringly expensive. I expect a folding iPhone to cost even more.

I’m still using an M1 Macbook and it does me just fine.

To be fair, if you’ve been using Linux exclusively for nearly 30 years then yeah, you wouldn’t be missing any Windows features because you don’t daily it. That’s a no-brainer.

I’m a daily Windows user but I do sometimes dabble in Linux both out of curiosity and also for challenge reasons. I used to use it for my school laptop(s) and at one point I had a 2nd desktop rig running it. I can gladly say it has come a long way and improved in many ways since the early days, but it still has a ways to go. Unfortunately one of the biggest obstacles is the Linux community itself which is both resistant to change and exceptionally hostile to new users.

About two years ago I was troubleshooting an audio driver that refused to work and I was asking in several Linux communities for assistance. The responses ranged from standoffish to indifferent to several people outright saying “If you can’t even figure this out then maybe you shouldn’t use Linux lmao”. And I agree. Maybe I shouldn’t. Because I was tired of spending so much time screwing around in a terminal while talking to people that think I am trash for struggling to use the operating system they claim is so good.

Linux can be an extremely polished, smooth, and effective experience but that experience is like the frozen surface of a lake. Once something goes wrong and you break through the surface - you are screwed unless you are highly experienced already. That has been my experience, at least.

I’m good, thanks. Not going to pay for Fashlink.

They’ve been doing big things with the Mac lineup in recent years. Macbooks, both Pro and Air, have gotten major design shakeups and improved processors. The Mini just got a new design and hardware as well. Oh yeah, and they’ve officially ended the 8gb minimum RAM so that’s a big boost to new purchasers.

Meanwhile the iPhone has hardly changed for numerous generations now. All they really do is shuffle the camera bumps around and add in AI that nobody asked for. I have an iPhone myself but it doesn’t exactly spark much joy for me. It is a very sterile, unenthusiastic device and I get that impression from every one of their recent models. They are stagnating badly, imo. My 14P still has 100% battery health and loads every single app practically instantly. Why the hell would I get a new device? Especially when they are like $1,000+

I’ve learned that whenever a major US organisation criticises China for something it’s almost always projection.

I struggle to think of something I’d rather do less than entrust Musk with my money.

Gargling sulphuric acid, perhaps.

Apple really needs to step up with bugfixes for iOS and MacOS instead of pushing rushed yearly upgrades.

It hasn’t been updated in ages, so maybe. It does still work well for now at least.

If you are using iOS then there is really only one place to get them- the App Store.

I’ve used both Memmy and Mlem and both are decent apps.

A lot of Linux users here think the conversation begins and ends with game support. A lot of us use our computers for work and there is a lot of productivity and creative software that does not play nice with Linux. I’ve probably said this a dozen times here before but I’ll say it again: Not all of us use our computers solely for gaming.
