- Comment on Let's Encrypt is 10 years old today ! 2 days ago:
Let’s Encrypt is amazing, but are there any equally trustworthy alternatives people could switch to if something bad happens to it?
- Comment on Affinity’s Adobe-rivaling creative suite is now free for six months 4 months ago:
For Windows and Mac, yes. For Linux, fuck no. They don’t care one bit about that OS.
- Comment on Affinity’s Adobe-rivaling creative suite is now free for six months 4 months ago:
I tried it with bottles. It installed fine after manually installing dotnet 4.8, but I couldn’t get Affinity Photo itself to run, even after extensive tweaks. All I get is an exception without any description in the terminal output.

Why are the different scales connected? How exactly does one interpolate between agreeableness and neuroticism? This is the kind of diagram I used to draw as an 8 year old, and they put this crap in a real product…

Can you choose where Dr. Pepper bottle is summoned? If yes, you could just summon one in the throats of Putin, Trump, any anyone else who is a threat to global peace.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone 6 months ago:
Linux has huge problems on my laptop, cause HP in their infinite wisdom decided to disable S3 sleep at firmware level. I still find myself dreading the thought of reinstalling windows though. I’d rather manually shut off my laptop every time I stop using it than go back to that awful proprietary OS.

If it’s somehow possible to code up my design In OpenSCAD, it’s infinitely more preferable over FreeCAD
- Comment on So glad I'm ditching these fucking idiots 8 months ago:
I keep bashing my head against the horrible UI way more as a beginner. Just as I manage to bring the million toolbars into a reasonable arrangement, I switch workspaces and then they’re all messed up again. I couldn’t care less about the topological naming problem right now

No criminal charges for him or his partner, who started blasting too. The first one resigned after the sheriff’s internal affairs investigation told him that he did an oopsie.
- Comment on Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot. 8 months ago:
I spent hours the other day uninstalling adware from my laptop after reinstalling windows on it. It’s ridiculous.
- Comment on Mercedes-Benz debuts turquoise exterior lights to indicate the car is self-driving | A visual indicator for other drivers 11 months ago:
Okay that is the first argument for it I’ve read that actually makes sense
- Comment on What is .webp exactly 11 months ago:
Webp is actually a decent format, it’s just that a certain desktop OS used by roughly 70% of people chooses to not support it
- Comment on Mercedes-Benz debuts turquoise exterior lights to indicate the car is self-driving | A visual indicator for other drivers 11 months ago:
If we need warning lights for self driving cars, the technology is not ready.
- Comment on Average Lemmy Active Users by Month 11 months ago:
Lemmy is one of the healthiest fediverse communities. It’s starting to get to the point where it can emulate the hours of infinite scrolling people do on reddit. Whether that is a good thing is debatable.

- Comment on YouTube Says New 5-Second Video Load Delay Is Supposed to Punish Ad Blockers, Not Firefox Users 11 months ago:
Maybe changing your user agent just let’s you reroll whether you are in the group of users that are used for testing the increased loading time
- Comment on YouTube Says New 5-Second Video Load Delay Is Supposed to Punish Ad Blockers, Not Firefox Users 11 months ago:
Five seconds of loading is an upgrade over five consecutive ads
- Comment on abandonware empires 1 year ago:
Forcing companies to release source code once they go bankrupt or abandon a project can only have good results. Yes, it eats into profits of successors, but something being profitable does not mean it’s good. If people would rather use decades old code rather than something new, what does that say about the quality of the new code? This would force companies to continuously improve, rather than profit from stagnation. And it would prune away the parts of the economy that contribute nothing.

We have wasted way more money on way stupider projects. Would love to see this built rather than the military getting even more money.

- Comment on Engineers develop an efficient process to make fuel from carbon dioxide 1 year ago:
So we’re gonna spend a whole bunch of energy to capture carbon, then use even more to turn it into fuel, and then just burn it again? Yea sorry, I am not convinced.
- Comment on Windows 11 adds native support for RAR, 7-Zip, Tar and other archive formats thanks to open-source library 1 year ago:
7z files can be browsed without decompressing the contents, and tar.xyz archives preserve file system attributes like ownership. They have totally different use cases.
If I want to back up a directory on my drive, I would use tar.xz. But if I want to send some documents to other people, I would use 7z.
- Comment on Windows 11 adds native support for RAR, 7-Zip, Tar and other archive formats thanks to open-source library 1 year ago:
Translation: Microsoft loves using code that other people wrote for free
- Comment on Windows 11 adds native support for RAR, 7-Zip, Tar and other archive formats thanks to open-source library 1 year ago:
To be fair, Windows now has better support than Gnome does natively. I wish they would finally give nautilus seamless archive integration…
- Comment on Circle of life 1 year ago:
I don’t want to be anti-natalist. I wish we could make sure that our children will have better lives than we do, and I will fight to make that true. But for now, the guilt is too much for me.
- Comment on Windows 12 May Require a Subscription 1 year ago:
The one thing Microsoft will never do is try to deliver a good product. The executives would rather gouge the users for every last penny and steal all their data, and this will be it’s downfall. Linux has the advantage, and is only getting started.
