I’d be fine if big tech social media would be required to use real names. That would reduce all the racism, misogyny, transphobia etc tremendously. It is obvious the big tech is not interested at all preventing any of that themselves. But let’s keep the rest of the internet out of it.

People don’t always need fastest possible computers for their tasks. As long as the browser works and is current is enough for most people.

Besides, Macs tend to be nice looking and their build quality is good. Aesthetics are subjective, but many find even older Macs pretty nice to look at compared to black boxes.

Did that just earlier today. No issues so far.

That looks liike such a mess. Best implementation of the start menu is the Windows 10 iteration of Windows 8’s full screen start menu. You can arrange icons into groups and make them different sizes. After that opening the applications becomes muscle memory.

Thanks for the useful information. If .ml is viewed problematic and it is by developers of Lemmy, would it be better to switch to Piefed (which I’ve never even heard of) entirely?

How can I possibly determine a good instance just by spending time here? I usually don’t even check usernames when reading posts or comments.

Maybe, but how would I even know what instances are here to stay, populated and moderated by good people and so on?

I have plenty of posts saved for later reading, just like I had in Reddit. Just recently I managed to open all of those, gather links and delete my account. It feels really frustrating possibly having to do that again and knowing I might have to do it yet again in the future if my next chosen instance turns into a something scummy. Really puts a rather sour note on the whole federated thing.

So now I need to find out how to switch instances and what I’ll loose by doing so.

Great. Just what I wanted after leaving big tech social media.

So am I looked differently because I happened to join .ml instead some other instance? I was at first at different one, but lost my login and hadn’t used an email when signing up so I had to create another one. I just chose one instance randomly and it happened to be ml. I’m I fucked?

Nice to see the information officer T. Solomon stepping up!

True, but nowadays, and for foreseeable future, AI means what the tech bros mean by it.

I’d like to hear how this universal extreme wealth is supposed to actually manifest itself on a regular folks who lose their jobs to the AI craze.

I don’t want AI anywhere near my daily drivers. If I want to use AI it needs to be siloed and unable to access any of my data unless I explicitly feed something into it.

The best tip: don’t travel to the U.S.A. “But my business…” Tip number two: stop doing business with the U.S.A.

While I fully understand why it doesn’t have umlauts that’s a dealbreaker for me for this and probably pretty much every such device that will ever come out nowadays.

Just buying away those chips from entering the personal computer market. Gather around to see our partners new cloud computing marketplace where ownership is a thing of the past!

Companies want to pull all our computing into their cloud services. It’s an end for personal computers if they manage to make this reality. I suspect the price hikes for components are manufactured to make this happen.

And a right to terminate the system any time they see fit, possibly leaving customers unable to access their purchased content.

Time to ditch Android and go to Linux.

The best killswitch is called Librewolf. Another good one is Waferfox.
