  • It’s so weird to me that Lemmy is full of anti-Windows, anti-Google posts but the comments are always “I’m thinking about switching.”

    How about… just do it?

    I don’t know what I’m trying to say but being 20 years into “Windows-free” a few years of “Google-free” it’s tiring. I know everyone isn’t me but it’s tough watching this from the other side.

    Apple bows to Kremlin pressure to remove leading VPNs from Russian AppStore — Novaya Gazeta Europe

    Jump

  • As a result, anyone wanting to access blocked sites from Russia is forced to use a VPN, a protective tunnel that encrypts internet traffic and changes a user’s IP address.

    I hate how media describes VPN. It doesn’t “change your IP address” but rather makes your traffic appear to come from a remote endpoint when configured to do so.

    I use VPNs all the time that don’t “change my IP address” at all.

  • I actually agree with you, but I also don’t think it’s realistic to expect people to be “real” around a celebrity.

  • Amazon is bricking its Astro business robots less than a year after launch

  • This is what gets me. Why don’t they do this? They’re turning down profit by discontinuing support, but probably their logic is someone else will benefit from the hardware without bringing in profit, so that’s bad forsomefucking reason.

  • I’m pretty good about either giving away or selling off used electronics pretty cheap, but in the worst case I take it to Best Buy as they have free electronics recycling.

    I’m not sure if they still do it (it’s been a long time), but I kind of hate that you’re relying on the goodness of their heart to offer it.

  • Yeah, I had to bail. FreeBSD was awesome for stable yet bleeding-edge packages, a perfect blend of downloading binaries and compiling from source (when needed) with everything in sync.

    These days I’m using Alpine Linux almost exclusively, but I miss the convenience of FreeBSD and wish it wasn’t being left behind by the Kool Kidz™.

  • Have you considered Orion? It has the sleekness of Safari (and based on WebKit) but gives you plug-ins from Chrome and Mozilla. I love it because it doesn’t have the non-native clunkiness of other browsers.

  • We need laws that make this illegal. I get it that they don’t want to support it for whatever reason, but electronic waste is already a big problem and you can’t convince me everyone is recycling their used electronics.

  • I mean, it can be fun to tinker regardless. I have a shitty Dell Inspiron from 2012 that I run Linux in CLI-only mode just for fun.

    In fact it used to run my entire smart home, run long-running background tasks (like syncing huge files from an NFS share to Storj); hell at one point it was bringing in passive income as I rented out hard disk space.

  • Microsoft's Weather app now shows more ads

  • I stopped using it 20 years ago and have never had a need for it since. It sucked then and it still sucks now; I’ve even installed it a couple times in a VM for fun but always ended up deleting it after a few hours. I really don’t understand why someone would choose to tolerate such low quality software even for the most basic of tasks.

  • I’ve configured 2FA with my bank using verification codes (can’t think of the proper name, it’s that Authy-/Google-style 2FA c. 2010) but then never utilizes it — it pretends that’s not set up and requests the SMS code. 🫠

  • This is what I specifically hate about building Docker images based on Debian. Half your Dockerfile ends up mucking about with third-party repositories, verifying keys, etc.
