They’re fighting a losing battle, but I hope a side effect of it is that new people come in and change both the economics and artistry of Hollywood. Most Hollywood content sits in a very rigid box. It’s repetitive, unoriginal, and unappealing.
My two cents is there’s a structural issue that’s converged to strictly Campbellian story-telling as the end-all-be-all structure. Sure, you’ll have something come out of HBO or AppleTV that breaks it, but AAA movies rarely break it.
I haven’t had issues running a few things I needed within a VM. However, those tasks aren’t demanding.
Looking at you “iCloud for Windows”.
Ooh yeah, I never thought about that. While I disagree with some of my funcitonals, I don’t die inside knowing it’s going to be painful to people viewing ads.
H-how did this meme clear up a confusion I have with ** pointers after all these years?
They’re just pointer pointers!
Dang, that is so cool C can do that.
I wonder if the same thing happened during the digg migration.
Tbf, I have a slight feeling the users here might have a FOSS bend at a higher clip, so that perspective is to be expected.
I know because I’m one of these guys. Insert any tech company in for X and I’ll have something to grumble about after a few beers 😅
I haven’t worn a belt in months. 🥳
Something happened in the 80’s, but I can’t put my finger on what 🤔
I once was so enthusiastic about Fedora…
Well, for example, Android phones need to be rooted for full system access, for example. That’s a series of hoops to jump through. Same goes for installing a malicious .apk. A windows user just needs to click through a AUC prompt and the lovely has keys to the city. That’s before we touch the wonder that is admin PowerShell.
I suppose the ratio of how much knowledge the average person knows about tech to “dangerous” behavior naturally taught by the OS is higher, I suspect, on Windows.
Or – Christ it’s 2023 – Apple’s first fucking USB-C phone. Holy mother of god, having one stupid cable for the devices I want was a siren song of a mad god, but we’re finally here.
In 2023
That’s what I hoping for, because it’s sick being nearly up to date while being so stable and user friendly at the same time.
Oh indeed! That helps as well. I imagine other manufacturers do this too, but I only follow Apple closely since I was a huge fanboy half a decade ago. So I can’t speak with certainty for them
Me, on Fedora, wondering when the wiretapping begins.
(I’m hoping they step it back, else it’s Debian for me 🙃)
I agree, but I’m just spitballing why others could potentially see Meta joining the verse as a positive.
I think it’s the impulse to have the Frediverse grow, but it’s a bit of a Trojan horse innit?
Also we need to consider how phone companies differ from Google and Apple. Those two also generate money off the users purchasing apps and etc, and they have the ability to push users to their services easier. Where as strictly phone manufacturers make money at the sale of the handset, so – as you put it – they’re incentivized to have as much penetration as possible by selling as many models they can.
Tho, I do think people are starting to care about support length as the phone market matures and people wait longer to buy their new phones. Which is why, I think, Android manufacturers are lengthening support (and not out of the goodness of their hearts)
Oh wow, I didn’t even consider checking for updates while I’m working from home.
What did the Lemmy meme go nuts on Twitter or something?
Don’t go on that place so I may be put of the loop.
