- Comment on Microsoft's draconian Windows 11 restrictions will send an estimated 240 million PCs to the landfill when Windows 10 hits end of life in 2025 8 months ago:
I wish.

You’re changing the environment to favour your fight. I agree with you, 90% of the times in servers space, Linux works better.

I don’t want to argue with you, because your thoughts are right and you raise valid good points when interacting on social media.
But just to add something, I didn’t say he’s a bad person, I have no clue about that, I did say he’s a bad IT person. In other words, not qualifies for the role, if I can have an opinion on that.

I support the right tool for the right task, I’m not a company cultist, I’m sure Apple is as fucked up as Microsoft, I believe you. But I don’t care.

I have 20 years of experience in Linux. I’m not the average “I’m using Arch btw” Linux user. I managed several services at work with Linux and have a homelab at home.
If I wasn’t a PC gamer, Windows was gone from my house. That’s how I prefer Linux.
Having said that, your statement is objectively wrong.

No offence but you’re a bad it person if you really think like that.
I love to suggest Apple products to my relatives, because they’re too dumb and I don’t have to give technical support, lol.

I get the joke, but lots of people, me included, start to understand why people pay so much for a Mac. It’s not the hardware, it’s not having to deal with Windows.
- Comment on Americans are asleep, post European windows 9 months ago:
You know that tool called stud finder that you use in America if you ever think about hanging a picture on the wall, or a TV, otherwise you risk your wall falling down with anything attached to it?
Never seen a stud finder in Europe.
- Comment on Americans are asleep, post European windows 9 months ago:
The amount of energy wasted in America for all the houses with AC they have, could have propelled an entire society to Mars.
- Comment on These aren't "feel good" stories, they're "we live in hell" stories. 10 months ago:
That’s what I don’t understand. Europe is capitalist like the US, never the less, such cruelty and greed from the employer are simply unheard of.
- Comment on 41% of fediverse instances have blocked threads so far!!! 11 months ago:
Brilliant, all the propaganda about “join us, the fediverse is like email” gone to shit. More like “it’s like email, but if you email ends with @hotmail.com we will block your messages”.
I agree with the sentiment, not with these actions, instead of giving meta users a way to break free, we built a wall between us and them, who have way more content, because we’re afraid of Zuck stealing our data, which is public and he already done.
- Comment on Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net. 11 months ago:
That’s absolutely in your right to do so.
Would you mind if I ask you what did I say that’s considered an asshole move?
- Comment on Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net. 11 months ago:
Is there a way to technically deliver an unbroken user experience to a thread user without privacy issues?
- Comment on Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net. 11 months ago:
A failed messaging system that nobody in the world uses except for the Americans?
How sweet.
- Comment on 8GB RAM in M3 MacBook Pro Proves the Bottleneck in Real-World Tests 1 year ago:
I got gifted an old MacBook (I never thought of buying one myself) and started using it mainly because I liked the UI, but I’m generally speaking a windows user at work and Linux sysadmin at home.
When I checked up the MacBook systems, I see it has 4 GB of RAM and I thought “that’s pathetic!”
But surprisingly enough, the Mac OS handled everything I throw at him with decent performance and I’ve never felt the OS was overwhelmed.
I don’t know if this is a testament of how well integrated and optimised Mac OS is (after all, it’s still BSD) or how bad Windows is.
But still, for the price they’re charging for these machines, adding at least a couple of gigs of RAM would be expected!

Yes, why?
- Comment on Google and major mobile carriers want Europe to regulate Apple's iMessage platform 1 year ago:
That’s fascinating! Love NL btw, amazing country!

Ted Lasso? That TV series created by check notes Apple?
- Comment on Google and major mobile carriers want Europe to regulate Apple's iMessage platform 1 year ago:
MMS and UMTS videocalls were dead in the water the second mobile carriers tried to charge a truckload for that. They did this, they basically made Whatsapp the standard.
- Comment on Google and major mobile carriers want Europe to regulate Apple's iMessage platform 1 year ago:
We use Whatsapp a lot in Europe, but business fronts still communicate with phone and email. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, everything is on whatsapp! You book an hotel? whatsapp message. You need a taxi? whatsapp! you want to order in room service? send a whatsapp message, there’s not even a phone in the room. A tour guide will contact you directly on whatsapp, if you don’t have it installed, good luck.

Oh, *now *you want Europe’s strong arm? Google? Now? Fuck off, you yankee!

- Comment on It shouldn't matter if people work multiple jobs. The former VP of HR at Microsoft shares how to react to double dippers — 'get over it.' 1 year ago:
Working multiple jobs is a part of the fabric of the working world
is this guy for real? is this a common thought in America?
Does it sound fucking dystopic only to me?!
- Comment on Weird 🤔 1 year ago:
Which communities did you subscribe?
Because my experience is a bit different, people here seem way more polarized with their opinion (which is always right) and angry at random stuff.
I think I never saw so many “landlords haters” in social media like in Lemmy…
- Comment on YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers 1 year ago:
I use it because YouTube music is included and it’s great while driving, it allows background play even with the screen off (I’m talking about mobile).
There’s something more, but nothing that a pro user cannot already do with third tools.
- Comment on YouTube's ‘War’ on Adblockers Shows How Google Controls the Internet 1 year ago:
peertube started with that idea. Unfortunately is poorly maintained, also because humans are inherently evil, it’s a nightmare to moderate.
- Comment on YouTube's ‘War’ on Adblockers Shows How Google Controls the Internet 1 year ago:
Vimeo is expensive, I don’t know how it works today, but when I tried it, I had to pay to upload some videos.
- Comment on YouTube's ‘War’ on Adblockers Shows How Google Controls the Internet 1 year ago:
What happened to dailymotion and vimeo?
- Comment on Windows 11 adds native support for RAR, 7-Zip, Tar and other archive formats thanks to open-source library 1 year ago:
Oh wow! My post was a joke, but I just learnt the usb thumb drive is an Israeli invention, that’s wild.
