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 haven’t worn a belt in months. 🥳

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

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

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?

Oh, you’ll be fine then. Haven’t used Mint personally, but I’ve heard good things about it! Always reach out for help.

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)

If not, surely the one after that.

Isn’t that the joke tho?

Good on you mate, and welcome aboard!

Assuming it isn’t you first time: there’s a slight learning curve, but once you’re passed a few months and you’ve resolved a few issues on your own you won’t look back!

Look into KDE extensions to customize your desktop just the way you want it! My windows wobble around or fizzle out of existence when I close them. :)

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.

I’ve been waiting for this forever!!

I mean, it’s how I made friends when I was a child. I suppose the time crunch is what makes it seem impossible.

Oh man, I dunno, I could put my foot down at work — but judging how the Windows-folk react in my personal life whenever anything goes wrong the first words out of their mouth is “Oh, is this a [MacOS, Linux] thing?”

More often than not it’s not an issue related to the OS. I couldn’t imagine it dialed up to 11 in a professional development environment.

I spent a decade as am automotive locksmith, and watching things regularly fail on cars that passed through my shop has made me terrified with the touch screen. I cannot imagine replacing one of those and how easily first parties can lock replacement behind getting it done at one of their shops.

I guess he found out that selenium script kiddies like myself can simply scrape the website instead of paying the api fees. It’s not as efficient — or maybe my scripts just suck — but you can’t beat free!

Or, more cynically, they’re making the app more painful to use if you aren’t paying for it.
