oh i remember this. it was that guy who thought he could fix xorg by himself, and ended up breaking it further. then accused gnome of being “dei” when they kicked him out lol

what fork?

taiwan should simulate unification

i was worried for a split second but then i remembered i don’t use proprietary garbage unless i’m forced to.

stick to FOSS, folks. its the best defense against most of the bad shit coming from the software you use.

either that or being very misinformed

all users persecutable by brazilian law. its not about internet access or the platforms themselves, its about what you say and do publicly. the internet is just an extension of it, its pretty much like you commited that crime IRL.

said criminal or racist shit on twitter, and courts caught wind of it? believe it or not straight to court. most people get away with it, but its harder if you are famous but not rich enough to dismiss the accusations. or if someone sues you for it of course.

i’m glad to see MS getting rekt as much as anyone else, but having people migrate to locked-down-tight phones? eh i don’t like that future.

i miss being excited about tech developments. now i just hope they don’t make it too much worse.

fingerprint readers

i had a microsoft branded reader that had its software discontinued in windows vista. it cant be used with windows anymore.

last i tested on linux it just lights up and works straight away.

lemmy.world

Ah

“reality”

every single time i read a bbc article about china it has been a lie upon closer inspection.

you should take western propaganda out of your ears.

id appreciate it if they didnt get it chock full of fucking ads. big part of why i left it.

its actually a good system underneath the crud, and microsoft loves to insist on the crud.

“pro-democracy” here means “pro-capitalism” doesnt it?

im glad they are losing users then.

if not being their cash cow gotta mean we get treated like this, then they should not have the market cornered.

good. fuck. microsoft.

they had the choice of not being fucking awful and they had no reason to. im glad its crumbling for them even if wayyy too late.

bbc

yeah, probably not.

i boycotted them when i found out they streamed drm-protected lock-in music back then, and charged us a subscription for it.

for me? stuttering and freezes on wayland, its kind of hit and miss sometimes. more like missing my amd gpu.

yeah but then theyd have to pay ya instead of pocketing almost everything and getting a robot to do it for them.

i hope it is!

not that we should accept this, but all mainstream social media does this already. i “lost” quite a bunch of “friendships” when i noticed it. and im glad i did.
