Hey there! YSK about the subjunctive! Blah blah blah…

Beep-boop-blah-blah…

Only kbin users are seeing what you see. It looks fine on other Lemmy instances.

Lemmy and kbin do weird things with code blocks. From the source, the post itself clearly only contained backticks. Lemmy sends out marked-up text. kbin escapes it.

lack of support for visual content

That sounds amazing

First-mover advantage.

The market is about to be flooded with Lemmy apps, many of which will be based on former reddit apps. And like it or not, most of these apps do ultimately exist to make money.

Thank you!

I would love one if they’re still available

Hey guys, ChrisFix here!

It’s late. It was supposed to be April 1.

Nope. Been using the same installation of Windows 10 for years, and everything just works.

Even swapped the SSD from one laptop into another one. Added a UEFI boot entry, and it came right up.

I think the only problem I ever had was audio or Wi-Fi occasionally failing to work after resume. But that resolved itself after one of the major updates.

The only annoyance I’ve run into is the “Let’s finish setting up your device” screen after feature updates. But you can disable that fairly easily.

I mainly use it as a glorified Chromebook though. Browser, Windows Terminal + WSL, maybe the occasional Inkscape or Lightroom. All the “interesting” stuff happens in Linux VMs atop ESXi running on an old desktop.

But for everyday use, it’s nice to have something that “just works” when I pick it up.

I might check out Linux again in a few years though. From what I’ve read, PipeWire seems to be killing it in terms of progress on the audio side. So once the Wayland ecosystem matures, it should be fairly easy to get back that “just works” status with Linux.

In terms of performance, the main issue Windows really has is disk I/O. But a modern SSD fixes that easily. I am using a second-hand, nine-year-old Dell Latitude laptop, and it does everything I need it to do. Boots up in seconds. Has to stay plugged in though.

Be not afraid

Backpack?

I reached a point in my life where I just didn’t have time for things that don’t “just work.”

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

As a man I can assure you we have the same problem. I have garments with a 30" waist that fit the same as a 34" waist. And I have pants with a 29" inseam that go past my feet and 32" inseam that don’t.

My biggest gripe is that the all feed is not actually the all feed from across the fediverse, but a feed from all instances your instance is federated with.

It’s even worse than that. It’s all communities that users on your instance have subscribed with. If someone creates a new community on another instance, you won’t see it on yours until you or someone else discovers and subscribes to it.

We didn’t ask for stretchy pants. Give me back my cotton jeans.

And while you’re at it, put back the other two belt loops.

I switched once in college just because I could. But then I switched back when Windows 7 was released.

Then I switched again at work because our product ran on Ubuntu server, and I hate PuTTY with a passion, and it was just easier to manage Linux from Linux. But I switched back again when we were acquired by a larger company that required us to use more productivity tools that didn’t run well on Linux at the time and had to to “just work” (Skype for Business, Zoom, etc).

These days I spend most of the workday in WSL via Windows Terminal. At home I run a handful of Linux VMs atop an ESXi hypervisor installed on an old desktop. But when I’m not working, I generally just stay as far away from computers as possible.
