I know what you mean but saying this on a decentralised federated social network which encourages separate instances is very ironic

Wait what I thought this was satire at first

You can still do that, the article is fucking stupid. If you don’t have the correct requirements you will never get Windows 11 officially. You can however create a custom install of Win 11 using tools like Rufus to bypass the TPM requirements.

The point of the change is that now if you install it on an unsupported machine, you won’t get any official support; they’re not stopping you from messing with the OS installer but you will still NOT get the upgrade officially and if you do upgrade and find some issue they ain’t helping you.

IIRC they used to pester users with this unsupported setup to upgrade to a correct setup and they won’t do that any more.

Unless Spotify drastically changed their backend it doesn’t make sense why firing one person will make algorithms stop working

“It is a good life we lead, brother.”

“The best. May it never change.”

“And may it never change us.”

Assassin’s Creed 2 still has the best intro of all time, fight me.

The only thing which F-Droid reports is that it uses jawg.io for visualising the map tiles and that is considered non-free is because it is… commercial?

This is the quote from the Streetcomplete github:

Since mid 2020, JawgMaps provides their vector map tiles service to StreetComplete for free, i.e. the background map displayed in the app.

Personally I don’t care that much about FOSS/non-FOSS but IMO a reason like that is least of my concerns when looking at open source. If they’re providing a free (as in money) service to an open source app then that’s perfectly fine.

Sounds like you don’t even know what GOG does?

Switch to firefox.

Skibidi Effect

Yep, you’re right there.

everyone seemed to jump to conclusions.

Honestly, everyone’s been so burned by companies pulling the wool over their eyes that there’s just no trust left. People were happy with Mozilla 5-6 years ago and nowadays everyone is a skeptic.

You might be right in this case but they weren’t wrong.

Copilot is fantastic branding tbh. It’s like the MBAs want change for the sake of keeping their jobs.

Probably not technically true because podcasts use RSS

I have an account that I use to read, but I’ve never posted on Mastodon. Decided to tweet after seeing this post and I see a privacy option called “Quiet Public - Fewer Algorithmic Fanfares”.

Seriously, wtf is this? What does that even mean? If techie people like me can’t figure out Mastodon then you can’t expect the general public to do that. I’m not blaming this feature in particular, but Mastodon is quirky in all the wrong ways.

Why does “World News” on lemmy.world give an ass about the American election season? Why was this not instituted during the elections which happened in India? We have like a billion people.

*funeral speech

Is it just me or is a sample size of 7500 low for a population of 1 billion+?

Sad thing is they don’t have enough pull to make people listen.
