Not OP but many Linux project I follow, since they don’t have many resources, publish their releases through Torrent, a seeebox is fairly cheap (something like €10 a month) and could be easily crowdfunded even for a small project, and isn’t a huge expense anyway. And the site could just be a static page, or better yet the magnet link could be aviable on Github for people that want the precompliled binaries instead of the source.

E: did i say something controversial?

China is doing something good: here’s why it’s bad.

Windows 8(.1) was still utter trash, I actually "down"graded to windows 7 at the time and it was a bliss.

(it wasn’t the non-stop-ads kind of trash, but the UI suited a tablet more than a desk/laptop)

Even if YT gave all the money to the creators, ads are so cheap nowadays that it would need them approx 20.000 ad views just to pay a month of premium (and that’s assuming every cent goes to them) big creators and publishers sure make money out of ads, in the end they get millions of views. But a smaller creator thst works hours upon hours on a video is making probs less than minimum wage through ads. Ergo If they want to make money they need to rely on generous people.

It wasn’t always like this; it’s a recent development of things (starting in the 30s and booming in the 50s)

I agree on scalpers, i like my electronics cheap. The meme was quite not clear though. I thought it was about sellers and resellers in general.

Don’t get me wrong (you and the other 2 downvoters) I think bezos deserves way more than hell; but if it’s just a lemonade stand, that, by the meme that I was jokingly criticizing, is still buying stuff in bulk and selling it for a profit. Is it morally bankrupt (intended) to have a family buisness?

TIL selling stuff is a mortal sin

More than a Nintendo switch probably, but the Cisco switch has 16 ethernet ports!

Here, have a switch.

Boycotting micro$oft till the day I die, OS monopolies (or close to it) shouldn’t exist. Plus their OS is mediocre at best.

Ideally every corpo should be boycotted though. But it’s quite difficult to boycott some of them (like Google, who likes to live inside every android phone, effectively having a duopoly with Apple, another really shitty company)

Am I victim of the Mandela effect or did this happen some years ago too? I remember setting up chrome on win10 in my tech-normie days and getting a similar thing, maybe my memory is failing me.

The competition between Chrome and Edge is very shallow, they’re two slightly altered and heavily branded reskins of chromium, the real competition would be Firefox and it’s forks (mullvad, waterfox, librewolf) (and maybe webkit aka safari) Vs chromium but there’s no big corporation behind those (except safari, but it has many of the problems that big corpo chromium browsers have) , so they’re struggling a lot.

After like what, 3 months of A/B testing in one country? Sinking ship gonna sink.

Antisemitism ≠ antizionism, lemmy.ml (speaking from experience) has waaaaay harsher and stricter moderation that something like ee or world, they straight up hard-remove words from comments, an antisemite would be banned on sight.

The package manag- oh it’s windows right

My pronouns are gnu/linux
