hold on… grad and hexbear ASSURED ME that russia was a bastion of free expression, much more than ANYONE in the decadent west could ever understand!

i’ve only managed to get some of my fam to move over to signal. the other half full on refused

other way around. Whatsapp is a signal clone.

yup

Years of continued enshittification

I might actually have to switch to Jellyfin then…

I say that as a paying plex pass customer

It’s just another flavor of starfield but somehow so much more shittier

How do you know if you haven’t played it?

If it’s a project with a couple hundred thousands of downloads a week then no, i trust that it’s been looked at by more savvy people than myself.

If it’s a niche project that barely anyone uses or comes from a source i consider to be less reputable then i will skim it

I used to have a hard drive dock that would knock the wireless powerline adapter network out whenever it was turned off

I work for a multi billion multi national medical technology company at their office in central london. On day one after i got the job they gave me a brand spanking new top of the line macbook pro worth over £3k. I asked them for a bag for it and the IT guy who gave it to me looked like i slapped him in the face.

“Am i supposed to walk around central london with 3k of macbook in a plastic shopping bag?”

He produced some weird fabric envelope thing from a cupboard.

Luckily i’m sad enough to turn up to work with my own laptop in my own bag so i did have a bag but he had no way of knowing that

figured as much

Oh good, yet another shitty twitter clone.

I don’t get why they keep developing separate ones. at some point it has to be quicker to just roll mastodon and defederate from all other instances

/b/ is just logspammers and porn now.

And the 15 min wait to post anything has noticeably slowed down any sort of discussion. Posts on /b/ can last for up to a week now because of it

did they actually do layoffs? I think where i am a lot of the shops just let the staff levels atrophy naturally down to the level where they wanted them.

you must have scrolled a long way to get to a 7 month old post

red had is just fedora with support isnt it?

i’m not forcing him into it, microsoft is

It’s not hers. it’s one of my computers that i am deploying to her house for her and her family to use.

It’s technichally for my neice but the rest of the family all also have access.

no one in that household has expressed a specific preference of operating system. other than my brother in law texting me to tell me one of the old games he tried to install doesnt work (i did promptly offer to “make it work” but he declined).

I have no problem with them installing windows on it if thats what they want. they wont be coming to me for technical support if they do though.

he’s still coming round to the fact he’s not getting security updates soon due to lack of a TPM module.

He’ll be running mint too by the end of the year

i installed linux mint on my sisters household PC last week.

my dad did his usual grumblings about “it should be windows” and i just said “i’ve been out of the windows ecosystem completely for the last 5 years and partially for another 3 years beyond that. i no longer provide support for windows, if you want them to have windows you need to support it”

he went quiet after that.
