We need to revise that for Lemmy.
“Lemmy: Where men are men, and men are women, and women are men, and I think we’ve got a few women who were born women, and also there’s a whole bunch of new genders as well, and no genders at all, and that’s all cool with most of us.”
It’s a mouthful and might not read well on a t-shirt, but we can workshop it.
Now I’m no American, but something smells FBIish about that address.
ICQ was my first foray into meeting girls online, back when that was a really weird thing to do.
Post a/s/l to pay respects.
Using the hotline won’t get you fired, but somehow - for totally unrelated reasons - after using it you’ll end up on a PIP with untenable goals, and that will get you fired.
He’s almost definitely going to call someone a pedo again.
Yeah, I hated KDE for like a decade but tried it again last year and was blown away. I can’t imagine I’ll switch off of it for a very long time.
And yeah, I always forget about competitive games as they’re so not my thing.
One of us! One of us! One of us!
For real though, good on ya. It takes a little getting used to, but is so worth it in the long run to not have to fight against the profit-driven whims of a megacorp. It’s also so much more customizable if you want to put together a really specific workflow for yourself.
Great article, but:
“A user-friendly distribution like Ubuntu can be an excellent choice for individuals wary of privacy and ethical issues surrounding AI,” says Taylor. “It provides a robust and user-friendly environment that minimizes the tracking and data collection you’d typically encounter with macOS or Windows.”
It’s been quite a few years since I used desktop Ubuntu, but I remember the Unity DE back then being not so user-friendly, at least for someone coming from the Windows paradigm. I’ve heard (but could be misinformed) that it’s gotten even more opinionated over the years. Something like Mint is likely to be a better option for a first-time user.
Also, I wish the article had mentioned Proton. It states that you may have to be willing to abandon certain games, but that’s far from the reality these days. At least through Steam nearly everything works right out of the box just by enabling Proton.
It’s been quite a while, but on an older system years ago I recall it slightly nagging me about how the computer wasn’t W11-enabled.
Right? It seems like the modern internet is made up of like 5 monolithic sites, and unlimited SEO spam.
I know that’s not literally true, but it sure feels like it.
Judging by the last month of our Microsoft 365 tenant at work, they have plenty of room to improve. (Maybe by expanding in-house QA instead of relying on their customers.)
One of the several issues we ran into in the last few weeks was that you couldn’t download or view attachments in the Outlook Web app if you’d been logged in for over 10ish minutes.According to the official advisory, this was due to “code put in production designed to increase reliability.” That was a funny way of making things reliable. It was over a week until they’d pushed a fix for that one - right around the time more Outlook issues started popping up.
So yeah, while I agree with you that this might be tough - it might just be the best move they’ve made in a while. Maybe it’ll cause them to pay more attention to fixing bugs, and focus less on solving problems no one has. (Apparently we, as customers, have been dying for an AI button on our keyboard, to easily access an AI feature now baked into the taskbar.)
This article should have been titled, “Why the fuck does my mouse need an AI chat -prompt builder?”
Seriously. I want my mouse to do one job - move around the screen and let me click on stuff.
Ah, the ol’ “Please use Edge” update screen that pops up every few months.
Yeah, I’m guessing there must be some archaic code in their system (probably undocumented and which no one understands) keeping them from taking that step. I’ve worked in the embroidery industry for quite a while and our machines used 3.5 inch floppies for years. We finally upgraded to a drop-in USB replacement like 5 years ago.
“The system is currently working just fine, but we know that with each increasing year, risk of data degradation on the floppy disks increases and that at some point there will be a catastrophic failure,” Tumlin told ABC7.
Have they literally been using the same set of disks for decades? Surely they can just … make fresh copies on new disks? As far as I know, they’re still being made for specialized industries just like this.
Certainly, they should upgrade their system - this just doesn’t feel like the most important reason to do so.
People on X with Nvidia cards are gonna have a bad time.
Ah, I see what you mean. That still sucks but at least you still have the (less convenient) option of using an alternative. I had understood it as being that they blocked everything but Bing.
As someone in IT I get an employer enforcing Edge (I don’t do that, but I understand why an IT department might), but why would anyone enforce a specific search engine? That seems bonkers to me.
What was this from? I know the reference but can’t place it. I could obviously search for it but, hey, I’m trying to be social here.
