I also do not like this kind of sentiment. Sure in a perfect world it would be slightly better if we all are distributed equally on different servers. But the biggest advantage of the Fediverse still stands, even if we all are on a central instance. If mastodon.social ever looses its shit for whatever reason, its still possible to move without loosing connections.

I think ridiculing new folks about “rules” like this make the Fediverse less inviting and is counter productive. And to be honest the experience on .social is far better than on smaller instances IF you are coming from twitter and are looking for something similar. When I see new people on .social im happy that they even joined Fedi.

The headline is a bit misleading is it not? There is no evidence of children’s data being used unlawfully. (I mean there might I don’t know what counts as “unlawful”) This is just a fine for Reddit not to follow UKs dystopian ideas in time.

Oh yea you are right. XP was a joy to use. They have been slacking since they got that monopoly though. I am forced to use Outlook because of the company. And am always amazed how many redirects you can do for a simple authentication. Every service looks completely different and the audio in teams is so broken it cuts off for a couple of seconds and switches from mono to stereo for no apparent reason. Everything just feels like its extra work.

Switching to Linux on my private devices actually reminded me of the old windows. I just wish the UI UX of some software would be on par as well. LibreOffice and GIMP is just not fun to use.

It always amazes me how Microsoft is though. Stuff like Threads, Instagram, Facebook is incredibly evil but they still work?! I can at least understand why the majority of people who don’t care are there. Microsofts products don’t even work to begin with though. Everything they touch be it Xbox, Teams or Windows is just so bad i wonder how we even ended up here.

Gonna use this thread to shout out https://github.com/YTLitePlus/YTLitePlus There are more than enough options for android users out there, this one is for iOS though. Tried it out this weekend on my jailbroken iPhone 6. If i read it correctly it should also be installable without a jailbreak but not that easily. Its super cool and nowadays it feels so weird that you got the option to do such shocking things like disabling shorts or reorder the tabs, its really fun.

We all now the true alternative would be phpBB… /hj

Be aware that not everyone in the list has to be involved. Daniel Stenberg lead dev of curl is in there multiple times. I believe as part of the provided licenses.

It is. After development broke down in 2022 development is more active than it ever was. https://blogs.igalia.com/mrego/servo-2025-stats/ I have a binary on my machine and use it for light browsing every now and then just to check in how things are going. Its “usable” for that but would not use it for banking even if it worked.

Not really from the grounds up as it uses WebKit.

Used it very shorty on a mac, but as it really is very similar to safari there is little to no reason to use it.

On a linux maybe, but i think i will stay on firefox until servo is usable. (Which is actually being made from the grounds up)

Man… :( please don’t do that. That’s super boring. They were doing so great pushing people to use Linux.

This sums the problem up fairly nicely I think. I do wonder with Apple being a gatekeeper by EUs own definition and unfair sales terms supposed to be history with the Digital Markets Act in place this can’t go through, right!!! at least not in the EU… assuming they do their job.

That’s how the system works. You don’t expect Walmart to not get a commission when you sell something at their store.

30% is reasonable. DEAL WITH IT.

Don’t like it? Make your own phone and platform.

Opening up the comments on macrumors never disappoints me :)

f4mi made a video about them last year. never knew they were a thing.

Do you actually want super light laptops? I feel like there is a sweet spot, but who knows maybe I would even want one, never held it in my hands/used it.

I feel like this comes at the cost of repairability as well though.

the link points to an .avif no idea what that is but i suspect that’s the reason. not sure what the source file type was but i guess support is better for png,jpg.

i think if you upload it normally through the lemmy interface it also converts the image.

EDIT: still enjoyed the meme, even with weird linking.

The quickest lemming on here. — Even their main page is down https://cloudflare.com

Love Codeberg. Just wish there would also be HackerHill, BytePeak and SoftwareSummit with federation!

Im eyeing Zig for a long time also as the core developers behind it seem to be really cool and drama free. Which, i know, is no argument for an programming language but cool non the less. Just hope the language itself is also cool to work with.
