For-profit health insurance just makes no sense. This is the expected behavior of a for-profit insurance system.

Holy crap, apple charges $200 to add 8GB of RAM. I just bought 32GB of DDR5 for the Framework I have on order for $95.

Cool, now can we get a cheaper plan that just plays music?

I think there are two big reasons...

  • During the big Reddit exodus, a lot of people were recommending lemmy.world.
  • It's a general purpose instance. People tend to flock to those rather than more specific topical instances.

Well, it would change their experience. They would see improved photo quality to/from Android users via text messages. But Apple has managed to train people to think that Apple's refusal to put iMessage on other devices is somehow a shortcoming of Android.

By the same token, I don't see a big deal about the pronoun choice. Just choose She/Her or He/Him. You don't have to choose They/Their.

Xfce does not get updated often, so by that definition it is the most stable.

It's also pretty stable from the perspective of not crashing, but I can't say I've had much trouble with KDE either.

There are no circumstances under which I would be okay with it. Including ads means there is a chance that content is removed to appease advertisers.

I will happily donate to my instance once they start accepting donations.

Keyed my car. I'm not kidding. She keyed a message into the side of my car thinking it would get me back.

I agree that quality matters, but when we have a number of active communities where the content is supplied by bots I don't know that I'd say we're winning on quality.

More users means more people contributing instead of bots.

My problem with this whole thing is that Chrome's only real competition (meaning it's not based on Chromium) is funded nearly entirely by Google paying to be the default search engine. If you aren't going to allow search engines to pay to be the default then Mozilla needs to find a completely different way to make money.

So if Google sold its phones at a loss then Epic would have no problem paying the fee? Sure.

The more interesting part of the argument is saying that people will contact Microsoft/Nintendo/Sony for technical support with a game and expect them to help while Apple or Google would send you to the developer.

I'm sure this has nothing to do with politics and is all completely supported by science.

So I know this is a bot but can we talk about reposts? This was posted 11 days ago. To this same community.

Specifically just anti-cheat that chooses not to support Linux at this point.

Several things from Google.

  • Google Maps - none of the OSM-bases options are there yet. I need traffic conditions and good Android Auto support. At the same time I hate that Google Maps is so full of ads. When I search for "breakfast" and the top result is a sponsored result for Dunkin and the closest is 50 miles away...
  • YouTube - the content is there so it's hard to go to an alternative.
  • Google Photos - my issue with this is really more tied to Gmail. If I stop paying for more Drive storage for my photos, I will stop receiving email because my account is full. But I did switch away from Gmail at least.

It wasn't even Sennheiser, it was a company Sennheiser had licensed their name to.

It's really unfortunate that Sennheiser has diluted their brand so much. Between this deal with Epos and their consumer division going to Sonova, it's hard to tell what's actually still made by Sennheiser. I imagine it will become more evident as Sonova starts designing new products and they start to diverge.

It would definitely require a substantial effort for Mozilla to find other funding. If I were Mozilla right now I would be trying to secure other deals to act as a safety net if this ruling goes through.

That said, with Firefox being open source apart from the branding another group could pick up development if Mozilla were to somehow go under. One of the popular "spins" of Firefox could become the predominant version and could see further browser development there.

Tell me about it.

uBlock-Origin on Firefox.

Honestly I have an easier time running old Windows games on Linux than on Windows.

You do on Linux as well, it's just installed by default.

So... what's the point of downloading then?

To expand - uBlock was sold to AdBlock, and so uses the same Acceptable Ads policy. uBlock Origin is a fork made by the original creator of uBlock.

Linux can be a pain

So can Windows.

A little different from many of the things mentioned, but...

  • Tales of Maj'Eyal - an open source Roguelike with a ton of content. There are paid expansions but the engine and base game are FOSS.
  • 0 A.D. - AOE-like
  • Battle for Wesnoth - a really fun TBS
  • gzdoom + freedoom - while the assets aren't quite on par with the commercial Doom assets, this will allow you to play through any Doom mod/TC

48 courses that are truly remade rather than copy-pasted in (support MK8 features) for $25 doesn't seem too bad to me.

Xfce absolutely did not start as a project to "keep the old gnome style" since it was released 2 years before GNOME 1.0.

In much of the rural US gas stations are a "one stop" - gas, groceries and often a restaurant. It would be a no brainier to add charging to those.

This is an especially common problem on Android. I have found many sites whose mobile version simply does not work in Firefox. It's very frustrating.

Firefox. I've always used Firefox except for services that don't support it (like GeForce Now, which I do have Chrome installed for). I'd say my main reason for sticking with it is wanting to support a more "open web" concept. I also use it on mobile in order to get adblock there and appreciate the browser sync.

I often want to extract just a few files from an archive, so no.

Diablo 1 had a duplication bug through its final release and no one was ever "actioned" for exploiting it. Let people have fun with the game FFS.

I listen to a lot of death metal including brutal death metal that has lyrics that many would find objectionable. I guess the key difference is that death metal is not expressing the views of the artist. Still, there are plenty of artists with objectionable views whose songs are not deplatformed.

Their support site literally says "when you don't have an internet connection" so if it's working the way you describe then it's not working as designed.

So these children are driven to work due to poverty right? So isn't the answer to try to address that rather than to say "stop using cocoa harvested by child labor?" Like I'm totally pro-non-child-labor-cocoa, but wouldn't the kids just get other jobs then?

Okay.

Jewish communties have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.

I'm deeply disinterested in giving the tiniest shit now about western Jewish populations coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don't exactly like them too much.

You want truth said to your face, there it is.

That works if you listen to just a small number of albums, but I average about 15 unique albums per month and probably 60 per year.
