Apple Music the music subscription service is different from iTunes the music purchasing store. When’s the last time you heard of anyone buying an individual song / album on iTunes?

I’m struggling to understand how increased pay is bad for the workers, can anyone explain that to me?

Running your own host is more work and costs money. And is harder to do anonymously.

I got tired of having to endlessly maintain it, vs windows which generally just works (no fighting with audio drivers, wifi drivers, gpu drivers, suspend to disk works without glitching, etc) and i like playing video games without having to deal with wine. Still run linux on servers, and my work desktop and laptop are linux since we have an IT department which maintains it for me.

Ebooks from your local library generally do have drm in my experience. Harder to complain since they’re free though.

If you don’t like the way they run their community, you’re free to start your own or even your own instance, that’s the beauty of federation

Wtf how is it 32%? While maybe not a masterpiece it was a decent movie, I really enjoyed it as well and also cried when the robot got hurt

That doesn’t make sense at all…it’s an $18/hr minimum, not maximum. They can still pay them more than that if they do more deliveries.

Proton is designed for games. Have you tried just using regular wine? I bet if you google “wine photoshop linux tutorial” tons of them will pop up

I see you’re getting downvoted even though you respectfully answered the question, looks like the Reddit tradition of downvoting anything you disagree with to bury it is alive and well here on Lemmy

i'd like if apps did similar, on phones. they'd work but some functions would just be unavailable

Both Android and iPhones let you do this last I checked

This is a reference to former president Donald Trump saying most Mexican immigrants were criminals and rapists

Sorry friend, looks like you’ve been downvoted for bringing up the fact it’s almost 2024 and reminding us of there inexorable march of time towards our mortality

https://youtu.be/N4FlL1FCbvA Time for your annual viewing of year of linux desktop promo video!!

TL;DR, this is the summarized version? lol

Some mighty big words for someone with only 97 karma

A quick google says you can dissolve up to 2g of sugar in 1g of water, so a pretty big difference apparently

Oh also windows has handled high DPI monitors and mixed DPI multi monitor setups perfectly for a decade or more, I think linux only more recently started handling it ok and it’s still got quirks.

Install chocolatey in windows and get the best of both worlds…now for 90% of programs I can type “choco install foo” and it finds the exe for me and silently installs it in the background so I don’t even have to click anything

iOS is pretty unintuitive. There’s lots of hidden gestures you have to memorize to get around. I missed androids back button since it always worked, whereas in iOS every app implements it differently. Is there an X in the upper right? A Close in the upper left? Do I swipe down? Swipe left? Etc. even apples built in apps are not consistent.

The easiest way to try linux is to install it from the Microsoft App Store — not joking, windows officially supports running Linux now. Here’s a random tutorial: https://adamtheautomator.com/windows-subsystem-for-linux/
