  • Microsoft's draconian Windows 11 restrictions will send an estimated 240 million PCs to the landfill when Windows 10 hits end of life in 2025

  • I get the joke, but lots of people, me included, start to understand why people pay so much for a Mac. It's not the hardware, it's not having to deal with Windows.

  • You know that tool called stud finder that you use in America if you ever think about hanging a picture on the wall, or a TV, otherwise you risk your wall falling down with anything attached to it?

    Never seen a stud finder in Europe.

  • The amount of energy wasted in America for all the houses with AC they have, could have propelled an entire society to Mars.

  • Damn, should I load the mouse driver or the CD-ROM driver? If I load both, I can't run strike commander!

  • With dos 5.x I started creating some fancy auroexec menu at boot that switches between several configurations depending if I wanted to run windows, need a lot of xms or a big chunk of Ems (640k was NOT enough for everything).

    It was somehow fun.

    But at least, if something is not working, it was entirely your fault. Now? It's probably windows update who fucked up something you desperately need right now.

  • Turkish delight rule

  • I think pişmaniye are better than Turkish delight.

  • There are pistachio Turkish delight. The traditional rosé taste is not for everyone.

  • The problem is consistency. Buy some Turkish delight in Istanbul and they're ok, but some in Konya and they're the sweetest thing you'll ever eat, you cannot have them without some proper Turkish black tea.

  • These aren't "feel good" stories, they're "we live in hell" stories.

  • That's what I don't understand. Europe is capitalist like the US, never the less, such cruelty and greed from the employer are simply unheard of.

  • What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?

    Jump

  • Sony phones still have the SD card slot, also no notch, a headphone jack while still being water resistant and the RGB notification led, if you're interested.

    Of course they're more expensive than an iPhone.

  • Sony phones are now 4k oled screens, but still have RGB led.

  • Same, I recently upgraded from the Sony Xperia 1 to the 1 IV, it burns my hands at times but love all those features!

    It's not a cheap phone, tho.

  • Welcome to lemm.ee!

    Jump

  • First, lemm.ee was my first ever Lemmy instance, loved it here. This site worked absolutely flawless so far.

    So, my hot take: I discovered lemm.ee blocked Threads, fair, that's not up for discussion from my side. Does anyone can suggest me a nice instance where Threads is federated? I'm curious about this infamous huge amount of content I cannot access from here (and no, Threads app is still not available in my country).

  • 41% of fediverse instances have blocked threads so far!!!

    Jump

  • That's fair, but then stop using the "federation is like email" propaganda.

  • Brilliant, all the propaganda about "join us, the fediverse is like email" gone to shit. More like "it's like email, but if you email ends with @hotmail.com we will block your messages".

    I agree with the sentiment, not with these actions, instead of giving meta users a way to break free, we built a wall between us and them, who have way more content, because we're afraid of Zuck stealing our data, which is public and he already done.
