Wow, that is certainly a take.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Bluesky adds 700,000 new users in a week / A ‘majority' of the new users are from the US, indicating that people are searching for a new platform as an alternative to X.English
11·1 year agoIs Bluesky prone to enshittification? I don’t know much about the AT protocol, but it seems like it works relatively similar to ActivityPub. Is it open source?

Old School Minecraft@lemmy.world•"Another Serious Critique of Minecraft" - Whitelight ||| I found this retrospect very fascinating and I think I will definitely change how I play the game based on points rised in it.English
62·1 year agoI’ve watched this video myself. There are several topics that all go fairly in-depth. Summarizing the video would be a non-trivial amount of effort and would likely diminish the point the author is trying to make, because it would lose the depth and nuance of the original.
I’m also struggling to understand the animosity towards a video being posted. Is it YouTube specifically, or the fact that it’s a long-form video? Video media has been a communication standard for decades. There are FOSS frontends for YouTube that could alternatively be used if you wish to stay away from Google’s ecosystem.
Tl;dr: I don’t think it’s reasonable to ask OP to summarize a 40 minute video that would greatly water down the original content.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•I just learned about The Work Number, what are other methods of employee, medical, or financial data collection can I opt out of?
12·1 year agoYou don’t need a contract. In the United States, anyone can sue anyone for anything. No laws need to have been broken nor contracts breached.

14·1 year agoIt’s not illegal in the US either, but you can still be sued by employers for doing it.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Garage is an open source S3-compatible object storage cluster designed for self hostingEnglish
5·2 years agoCompared to MinIO, it has more storage backend flexibility, cross-region replication is easy, it is resilient to less-than-ideal network conditions between nodes. Did you bother reading the website?
I’m not sure why your immediate reaction to having more options is negative.
Update the drivers on windows and see if the latest version supports it
Or
Install WSL or a VM and pass the device through to linux, let the kernel find it and activate the drivers, configure the network, then set up routes to share that connection with the host.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•New apartment Internet has no port forwarding, admin loginEnglish
4·2 years agoSet up a cheap VPS on DigitalOcean or the like, and run a Tailscale exit node. Put Tailscale on your devices at home (or get a 2nd router that allows you to run Tailscale on it) and join them to the same Tailnet. That’s the easiest way to accomplish this without getting too far into the weeds.

Linux@lemmy.ml•VR support for GNOME Wayland is here!
2·2 years agoI truly do think this is a cool feature, but after seeing all the comments saying stuff like “now there’s ZERO excuse not to use Wayland!”, I felt like it was appropriate to share my perspective as a professional user who uses their computer a little differently than a FOSS enthusiast or hobbyist/casual user. I’m not getting paid to go around submitting bug reports and making PRs, so when things don’t “just work” it can be a big issue.

Linux@lemmy.ml•VR support for GNOME Wayland is here!
1·2 years agoI’m talking about FOSS software incompatibilities, I don’t have any expectation for mega corporate apps like Discord and Teams to adopt it. Those are a lost cause, I just use the browser versions and pray.

Linux@lemmy.ml•VR support for GNOME Wayland is here!
77·2 years agoThis is cool, but half the software I need to use still doesn’t work on Wayland for some inexplicable reason.
I know this is the responsibility of the software maintainer to fix their compatibility, but as a business user I don’t have time to go around filing detailed bug reports and waiting for the next release when it’s fixed.
The solution for me is to switch back to X11 and move along, then in another year I try Wayland again after installing a new distro. After a few hours I find something that isn’t working on Wayland, rinse and repeat.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why does everyone hate Microsoft for adding LLMs into Windows and spying on users, but not Apple?
134·2 years agoThis entire article is a nothingburger from 3 years ago. You’re telling me that the button saying “ask app not to track” still makes it possible for the app to track you? Almost like there’s a difference between the words “ask” and “enforce”? Did you read the article you sent? How is that even in the same universe as installing a keylogger into every Copilot PC by default?
I never claimed Apple is perfect at privacy, I said they are better than the competition.
