I think it says a lot more about how much recent versions of Windows have bogged down the whole gaming experience.
Microsoft seems to have forgotten that people want an operating system that works, not something bloated with bullshit like telemetry, advertisements, tracking cookies and artificial intelligence. The only reason they even have a market lead in the desktop space is due to marketing and monopolistic practices.
I used to work for a small PPI claims management company. Our accounts team had a WhatsApp group for social discussion outside of work.
All of our internal work comms were handled through Slack.
EDIT: Someone else (on Reddit, go figure) sent me an invite the day after. This may be a shocker to you but you kinda have to accept friend requests before you can send beta invites.
Accepted. Nothing’s come yet but I will let you know when the invite arrives.
If it’s not too late to ask for an invite…
He looks like Eugene Levy, that guy who plays the dad in every teen comedy film.
John McAfee would be spinning like a rotisserie chicken in his grave. Or at least he would be if McAfee Software hadn’t already turned to shit long before his death.
So the temp files are still identified, but anybody smart enough to figure out the code is also likely smart enough to know that calling the developer will not help get rid of the file.
Don’t underestimate the stupidity of your average person.
Suyu 😂😂😂😂
It’s like they’re begging Nintendo to sic private investigators and a whole centurion of highly paid lawyers on them.
In my use case, my privacy is already compromised from using mainstream tech, also cached pages are kinda a big deal.
Kagi is tempting, and for how much I use search I may want to genuinely use it.
Google have really enshittified their services, to the point where I’ve seriously thought about using Bing as my search engine instead.
Would be funny as fuck if they were using these devices as Bitcoin miners.
Image comes from the monstrous work the Asahi Linux team did to get Netflix working on Linux on ARM Macbooks: https://asahilinux.org/2024/01/fedora-asahi-new/
There’s your problem. Using Linux is like using a dishwasher instead of a rice cooker to cook rice.
At times, I really don’t understand Microsoft’s MO.
They own a tonne of studios and IPs, and have also completed acquisitions of both Bethesda and Activision Blizzard over the past few years.
Xbox could easily surpass PlayStation if Microsoft actually bothered to leverage the intellectual properties they’ve developed and acquired to start pumping out exclusives. If they shat out a slew of console exclusives like new Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, StarCraft, Elder Scrolls, Doom, Pillars of Eternity, Perfect Dark, Banjo-Kazooie, Jet Force Gemini, Conker, Gears, Halo, etc games, and actually ensured they were competently made, Sony wouldn’t have a leg to stand on.
Heck, if World of Warcraft got an exclusive Xbox port optimized with gamepad controls in mind (cross parity with PC may not be possible given how prevalent third party add-ons are), they’d dethrone Sony.
I can understand why certain IPs like Minecraft are better kept multiplatform, because Microsoft make an absolute mint off of merchandising which made their $2bn acquisition of Mojang more than worth it.
Microsoft are dead-last in the console race because they aren’t doing anything with the sheer volume of IP’s they have.
Unless they’re doing this on purpose to avoid pissing off the FTC & CMA, acting all buddy-buddy with Nintendo and Sony because you’re too incompetent to compete isn’t going to drive innovation in the console market. If anything it’s going to stagnate things. Nintendo really need the kick up the arse necessary for them to actually improve their hardware and the state of Nintendo Switch Online, and perhaps they need both Microsoft and Sony to offer a superior product to open their eyes.
Well they can just GitOut
Honestly, the only silver lining of Ron DeSantis’s feud with Disney over anti-gay legislation is that the Republicans might end up undoing all the copyright extensions Disney lobbied for over the past few decades.
Disney is largely to blame for America’s copyright laws being so fucked.
It’s more like there’s a technical barrier for using Lemmy (or any fediverse social media for that matter) and for actually giving a shit about Reddit’s API policy.
There’s a tendency for more tech-saavy people going to Lemmy.
To be totally honest you have nothing to apologize for. Dogs and cats are metabolically different to humans and cannot survive on a vegan diet unlike us. Forcing obligate carnivore pets on vegan diets is certainly animal abuse.
I remember when there was a growing campaign to ban r/nonewnormal on Reddit due to it being a hub of medical disinformation and conspiracy theories surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, and that this led to a blackout much like the later API protests.
Rather than read the room and introduce a new rule banning medical disinformation, Reddit’s Tintin-looking moron of a CEO instead threw out tonnes of BS statistics on brigading likely plucked out of his own sphincter, and banned the subreddit because their activity exceeded this arbitrary percentage he made up.
And before you tell me this guy’s figures were legit, aren’t we forgetting that he pathologically lied about his interactions with the Sync developer? Spez is a snake.
