I held onto Windows 7 even a year or two past so-called the EOL. I had a pretty powerful rig and I wasn’t going to pay money to upgrade. Then I think Microsoft just gave Windows 8 for free?

I finally got on Windows 10 when I bought a premade gaming computer. Still not upgrading.

All th AI bots making posts aren’t helping with growth?

If you’re using Dropbox in 2025, you may already have all of your private data shared with somebody.

They “say” they don’t feed it to AI. But Dropbox is bleeding money since 2018 and at some point, will be sold to the highest bidder and from that point, you might as well just store your data on somebody’s random website.

I was at a bar a while back and the talk stuck with me. He was a Israeli who moved to America about twenty years ago and still visits Israel to see his family.

He said, “Americans have to stop seeing America as being #1 at anything.” We talked about Israel and Palestine, we talked about the current White House bs, and afterwards, I finally understood what he was saying, especially with the lens of him being an Israeli.

America is America. It’s a place that exists. The rest of the world has a lot better everything. It’s like living in a small backwater town: You know it’s shit, and it wont magically become something it’s not, especially if the Mayor and the Sheriff are inbred hicks who bang each other’s sister wives. Maybe you grow your nestegg until you can move. Or maybe you carve out a piece of the shit hole. But know that it’s a shit hole.

That’s America. Just keep milking because the lunatics are out of their cage.

Not trying to yuck someone’s yum, but what are the perks for youtube premium?

Nintendo, a Japanese company in Kyoto, using American courts to stop Pocketpair, a Japanese indie studio in Tokyo, from selling Pal world.

What the hell.

I bought some used stuff and… Bypassed security to expand my libraries. But usually it was after the game was like 10 years old.

Maybe he made a nice profit from it then! And he can rehire/rebuild!

Yep! Took two tries as well. I got banned from one because literally my second comment pissed off the mod! Im already loving Lemmy.
