You had to hold it up to a candle.
  • Might be the only perfect software ever created. It still works. We use at work for burning blurays and DVD for large datasets.

    The creater also added tons of hilarious quotes and sass to it.

    Has google stopped working for finding anything?
  • I moved to Kagi paid search engine and haven't looked back.

    There are open source search engines albeit you'll need to host it somewhere.

    Any major search engine (think Google, bing, etc) are just place for companies to pay to get into the top results.

  • FCC is kind of a joke. Corp tells them what to do. If FCC did what it's meant to do, we wouldn't have such crap mobile and Internet infrastructure, terrible privacy policies, etc etc.

    Steam keeps on winning
  • Competition is good....when the competition is actually competitive.

    But what has happened is games on are steam .... which installs the launcher + game.

    So it's not a win at all. It's actually a loss for us. If steam was to force "yeah you can publish the game on steam, but you cannot use your launcher"

    Apple is now banned from selling its latest Apple Watches in the US
  • Most likely didn't spent enough on bribes lobbying.

    Apple should be forced to pay licensing fees for the products being sold until supplies last..

    What's up with Epic Games?
  • The first major issue for me was that the launcher was a crypto miner and they didn't tell anyone.

    Since then, I have 0 trust in them and refuse to install the launcher. I don't care for the "free games"

    Can one be too dumb for programming?
  • You can be but it's very rare to find someone that is.

    For programming I always tell folks you need 3 skills: adaptability, self-reliance, and strong problem solving (thinking outside of the box, etc)

    The most lacking skill I see new students is self-reliance. Learning to do your own research, knowing when to ask for help and when not to, etc.

    Lemmy.world Should Defederate with Threads
  • Nothing. This is a PR move by meta, nothing more. They are trying to seem "hip" and push their ads.

    Meta, Google, MS, OpwnAI, etc gave akeasy scrubbed fediverse. Probably associated accounts to folks real names.

    Just moved to linux
  • I tried nebora after I effed up my kunutnu install. I was doing some super weird stuff. (Tried to remove snap)

    Nebora for me was the worst experience out of every distro I've tried. I went back to kubuntu and manually applied what nebora did with much better results. (This time around I removed snap before doing anything else).

    Kububtu with snap removed has been perfect so far.
