What are some things that Linux can't do, but Windows can?

  • Just because there are other things that are worse, or at least as bad, doesn't mean we shouldn't call put bad behaviour when it happens. And written MS it keeps happening.

    • A secret Google deal let Spotify completely bypass Android’s app store fees

  • Not only that. Backroom deals without public documentation has been done since the beginning of humanity.

    Even if blockchains were widely used, these things would happen outside the blockhain and no one would be the wiser.

    • No Bing, no Edge, no upselling: De-crufted Windows 11 coming to Europe soon

  • The fact that they only do this in Europe is the biggest "fuck you" to users they could have done.

    • Pebble, a startup that tried and failed to take on Twitter, finds new life on Mastodon | TechCrunch

  • I had an account there. I never used, but I posted a few times just to see what it looked like.

    The UI wasn't bad, and if they have any resources left they should repurpose that UI on top of Mastodon.

    • Six Months Ago NPR Left Twitter. The Effects Have Been Negligible

  • It can't be headline driven if you remove the headlines. Musk, probably

    • Uber was supposed to help traffic. It didn’t. Robotaxis will be even worse

  • Regardless of anything else, there is no circumstances under which companies like Uber would decrease traffic. This is because of two effects: Firstly, any regular car ride replaced with an Uber ride will result in more road-hours, since there is now a car travelling to your pickup point as well travelling on the road after dropping you off.

    Secondly, the convenience of Uber can cause more travellers taking a car instead of public transport, again increasing the total number of road-hours.

    Is there even a hypothetical scenario under which any of these private hire companies would reduce traffic? The only theoretical benefit is that less parking spaces are needed.

    • How did people refer to clockwise movement before the invention of the clock?

  • In Swedish it's called medsols and motsols. The iteral translation is with the sun and against the sun.

    • Surprise: Apple now supports California’s right-to-repair

  • I fully expect that we will soon hear how Apple revolutionised the industry by pioneering repairability.

    • very insightful indeed

  • It's the likes by AMD on what is obviously an LLM generated post.

    • What Self-Hosted Single Sign-On (SSO) do you use?

  • Same. I still use Kerberos, but I use kinot manually when I want to authenticate. It does force me to type the password more often but the benefits outweigh that.

    • Self-hosted Password Manager Recommendation?

  • I use KeepassXC and sync the database on my Nextcloud instance. It works really well, as long as you have Nextcloud of course.

    • Why do so many Lemmy posts end with the word rule? rule

  • I accidentally subscribed to it, and since I get a 500 error every time I try to visit it (problem with fedia.io I think) I cannot unsubscribe.

    It's kind of annoying.

    • *****'s API change talk feels similar to the Y2K scare.

  • In a way, the media hype was not completely bad. It helped ensuring there was budget to fix all those systems.
