Old hardware is usually very well supported.

Oh, how nice of Microsoft to host it!

We’re tuned, man!

No worries, I was genuinely asking. My gf works at a ~€10b multinational engineering corpo and they use what seems to be a consumer version (it has ads!). I work for a different corpo and we have LTSC version so big features come later once properly tested.

You’re using a consumer version of Windows? Businesses can pay for extended support.

Are there people downloading Windows copies somewhere else than straight from Microsoft? I haven’t used Windows on my computers in 10 years but back then you installed it in trial mode and then activated / kept it activated with KMS tools.

It’s not an expectation of 10 years of software but hardware support. I’m sure people would have upgraded to W11 if they could but unimaginable amount of hardware is going to be stranded for the dubious benefits of TPM 2.0.

Given the use cases they were benchmarking I would be very surprised if they were any better.

Some anonymous group claimed it was attack on USA for supporting ethnic cleansing in Palestine. This is why they did something that benefited Disney and Nintendo. Makes perfect sense!

It’s not available for individual consumers though unless you pirate it, isn’t it? (which makes it perfectly good reason to pirate it)

IA hosts TONS of user uploaded content. They’re not uploading those Gameboy ROMs themselves.

Here I am at 2 months of attempting Shadow of the Erdtree final boss. I do it once or twice per week now, got incredibly close dozens of times (past meteor). Refusing to switch my weird ass incantations based build. Bayle was a complete pushover compared to this guy.

Tell me what changed between one year ago and today without mentioning that there’s someone else in charge. Go ahead.

A bit of a hot take. The only real difference between Lemmy and Mastodon is sorting of the posts, everything else is UI. You can have Mastodon experience very similar to Lemmy although it breaks a bit with high traffic. It’s actually quite useful to subscribe to low traffic text based Lemmy communities via Mastodon because new comments bump old threads and it’s kinda like old forums, especially in a client with threaded view.

You’re not allowed to notice that. You have to applaud that they’re pro-EU, centre-left, well dressed and smile with their perfectly white teeth. Democracy was restored with no legislation and EU loves us now.

…PiS is going to win the next parliamentary elections and I’m not even sorry for my fellow Poles.

In my head this is a retribution for financing hackers that attacked Internet Archive and nobody can convince me otherwise

It’s a problem from content moderation standpoint but also an opportunity. Threads is not trying to steal users from Mastodon, they are already orders of magnitude bigger and current crowd would never switch anyway. The other way around is not so certain. If Threads sucks but you can still participate in it without having an account there then Mastodon becomes a very attractive proposition for people who would never consider ActivityPub based platforms before. Defederating mans you’re robbing yourself of opportunity to court those people.

Also, it’s important to note the timing of when Threads became open to the public and where. For months it was unavailable in the EU because of uncertainties related to Digital Services Act, which among other things enforces interoperability on big platforms. Details for existing ones are still being worked on but Threads was the first big one that launched since it came into effect. It’s been speculated that Threads got a green light from the EU commissioners because they promised interoperability early on. It’s quite likely that Meta had no choice but to open itself up and we’re just enjoying fruits of EU not bowing down to American corpos.

I’m happy enough with the discourse being „how would we chop Google into pieces”, I know my dream is probably just a dream haha.

YouTube is probably the biggest streaming service out there. They’d have no issues negotiating a sweet deal with some ad company, former Google or other. As of now most YouTube users are products sold to advertisers so we’d benefit from adjusting this a bit too.

I have this radical idea that Threads users are people too.
