- Comment on Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling 6 months ago:
This time around there are hardware requirements. Corporations equipment is not usually the latest hardware, and windows 11 is pushing customers to buy new hardware.
I suppose for many corporations upgrading to windows 11 would also mean upgrading the computer, which is an increase cost.
- Comment on Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling 6 months ago:
I can’t wait for massive security problems on corporations once they shut down W10 support and those corporation considering if keeping with windows is woth the risk and the cost anymore.
- Comment on As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play ads when I pause a video 6 months ago:
I feel like I would need to see their accounting books to fully believe that narrative.
The lack of accounting transparency makes all a tale of “trust me I don’t want to exploit you but of I don’t I will starve” said by people earning more than 1000 times my yearly salary.
- Comment on As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play ads when I pause a video 6 months ago:
Genuine question.
How is been running for almost 20 years, most of them with very few ads?
I doubt they had been just sinking money for the kind of their hearts.
I do not know how much it cost to run a service like YouTube. Or how much money they make by ads or other ways. But they have been running for long enough to be a successful business.
And it’s just the latest few years when they are pushing these aggressive techniques.
- Comment on Are you prepared for the ramifications of windows 10 EoL? 6 months ago:
Finally I don’t need my computer for working, they provided us with company laptops, so I don’t need to worry about compatibility and windows only programs anymore.
So you know what I’m going to do once windows 10 reaches eol.
For my it will certainly be the year of desktop linux.

I really wish we had a service like this on Europe.
I know they ship to Europe. But shipping costs are prohibitive for small buys.

- Comment on Lemmy.world seems to have banned the largest piracy community on Lemmy. 8 months ago:
Sad that antipiracy laws are in place.
But understandable that lemmy.world protect themselves against those unfair laws.
The sailing will continue, but, as always, we should be wary of the “navy” and sail with precaution.
- Comment on Lemmy.ml is acting as a proxy instance for Hexbear and should be defederated by any instances that defederate from Hexbear 8 months ago:
Lemmy.ml is a massive instance. I don’t really know where are you lurking, probably in political communities and post and thus this reaction. But I follow lots of communities that are hosted on Lemmy.ml and they are just normal communities about their topics, normally technology. I certainly do not want to lose those communities of having to move my accounts around just because you had some problems with some particular people. Block them yourself and move on.
I don’t get why there’s always people in small places that are always doing their best to make them even smaller. Lots of goods things are lost this way. We must be clever in trying to preserve and make this good things thrive. And, believe me I’ve been in lots and lots and lots of small community driven projects, this kind of attitude is no good for them.
- Comment on El Salvador Will Keep Buying 1 Bitcoin Daily Until BTC 'Becomes Unaffordable' With Fiat Currencies, Says President Bukele – Featured Bitcoin News 8 months ago:
And what happens if the government needs that money and Bitcoin price is down?
I don’t see how putting national reserves on such an inestable “asset” would be a good idea.
- Comment on Pornhub shuts down in Texas... and predictably, VPNs benefit 8 months ago:
To be fair current age verification is useless. We all know clicking a button does not verify anything.
Also we know that submitting personal data to a website to verify your age is terrible. Big no no.
I’m curious of what will happen in my country. Here in Spain government said that they will implement a new age verification system using Anonymous digital certificates. The government will issue those and you have to give your ID but the certificate itself it’s anonymous and the website won’t be able to know who is the person behind the certificate. While there’s no implementation yet, I hope they use the kind of anonymous certificates that, once expedited, the government also does not know who is using the certificate when serving as a certificate authority to validate it’s authenticity.
Let’s see how it goes. I’m afraid even while being privacy friendly with this system Pornhub will block access here to as a threat to other places. At the end is a private company and blocking minors from accessing their content cost them big money, and, of course, money is the only thing that matters to them.
- Comment on Lemmy Active Users looking good 8 months ago:
I really like lemmy as a platform. The only thing I miss is better search options.
Someone knows a efficient way to search for a topic using lemmy or some search engine? Some trick or something?
The fact that topics are dispersed in many instances makes kind of hard to try to find a post where someone may be talking about the topic you need.
- Comment on Sony is erasing digital libraries that were supposed to be accessible “forever” 9 months ago:
I’m using jellyfin and it just works fine.
There are others more specialized in music. But I kind of like only having to use one service for all my media.
- Comment on Which OS do you use for your homeserver? 9 months ago:
Debian.
Stable, well documented, easy to install. I do not need anything else right now.
- Comment on Over 2 percent of the US’s electricity generation now goes to bitcoin 9 months ago:
Is it not a way in which some governments could collaborate to end this Bitcoin madness?
Genuinely question.
Like maybe some big countries could agree to collaborate and join resources to make a 51% attack and bring Bitcoin price to 0 so people stop wasting resources on it.
2% of enery usage for something that do not add any value go society is INSANE.

- Comment on How a 27-Year-Old Codebreaker Busted the Myth of Bitcoin’s Anonymity 9 months ago:
Transactions are public. But wallet ownership is not.
That’s why it’s widely used in cybercrime. You can make a wallet and authorities may know which wallet receibe the money, but it may be imposible to link that wallet with an actual person.
- Comment on European Union set to revise cookie law, admits cookie banners are annoying 10 months ago:
At least the regulation show us how shady internet is. That banner only shows up if the website is going to use cookies to use your data as a way to make profit. The fact that every website is doing that was eye opening for a lot of people.
- Comment on European Union set to revise cookie law, admits cookie banners are annoying 10 months ago:
It should be just a browser option.
You set cookies on or off, ans the browser sends the option in the headers. Websites just need to take the option from the header instead of a banner.
- Comment on A gel injected into the scrotum could be the next male contraceptive 10 months ago:
I’ve been seeing promises about a new male contraceptive for more than a decade now. They never seem to hit the shelves form some reason.
- Comment on Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards for the first time since 1994 10 months ago:
I’ve uses linux for the last 5 years switching to windows time to time. And consistently I have had less power consumption in linux than in windows.
I usually install linux mint on my laptop.
- Comment on Do you actually own anything digital? 10 months ago:
There’s few games that work like that. Mant use the steam basic drm, making the game not launching if a valid steam session is nor running.
That’s why I have the generic steam crack. Inncase they pull the plug some day.
- Comment on EU Article 45 requires that browsers trust certificate authorities appointed by governments 1 year ago:
Seems great, if they achieve the same security standards as a private company I don’t see why we cannot have public CAs.
- Comment on WhatsApp seems set on introducing ads, but they won't appear in your inbox 1 year ago:
In the EU by next year app communication protocols need to be compatible by law, it is mainly said that it would mean that whatsapp could communicate with telegram but I suppose it also should work with signal.
- Comment on YouTube is increasing Premium prices in multiple countries, right after an ad-blocker crackdown | You either pay rightfully for the video content you consume, or you live with the ads. 1 year ago:
If some day I cannot block ads on YouTube I’ll go to Patreon or any other platform that gives creators a real share of what I’m paying. Google will not see my money.
- Comment on The pirates are back - Anew study from the European Union’s Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) suggest that online piracy has increased for the first time in years. In fact, piracy rates have bee... 1 year ago:
It’s like no longer having one cheap and convinient way of seeing content makes people rather pirate things than paying 7 different platforms each one more expensive than the next and all of them trying to mess with you and your wallet in new and unexpected ways.
