  What’s Kody? I’ve been thinking of getting a pc and setting up jellyfin on it and connect that to my tv, but I’ve never heard of Kody before

  Think about it, without the kids having a way to fact check everything they would have to believe whatever they say, and that leads to my favourite problem solving method, propaganda!

  Sad iMessage didn’t get categorised as a gatekeeper, even though in here, the absolute ass of Europe called Czechia the iPhone market share is just above 1/3 of all phones active (which if I remember is way higher than it used to be) I completely expect for this number to rise, since people buy for the brand, and these brain-dead people are the ones to use the default messaging service, thus I can’t wait to get shamed in 10 years for using my android phone and not being able to use iMessage

  This, spez for example with his almighty great ideas paid himself $193 million last year, that’s more than I’ll ever see my whole life (thanks to me being born in this fuckhole called “Eastern Europe” (technically Central but who cares, it’s just as shitty in the countries more east))

  Man, if we discover some cancer killing thing and a time machine that can go back it time the first thing I would do would be to help Steve Jobs get better, literally apple just got worse and worse when the “innovator” got replaced by the “logistics and finance” guy

  Just look at how Steve did things, if he was confronted with this problem he would probably just do it android style and not screw over people like Timmy does

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11 24H2 goes from “unsupported” to “unbootable” on some older PCs⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  14 year old PCs are quite capable for may everyday use

  I got a core 2 duo (3gb of ram and a HDD as a boot drive, really ancient I know) computer, it’s the only computer I have and I absolutely hate it since it sucks, even with Linux (xfce as a desktop) it takes so long to boot (usually 3 to 4 minutes, windows took like 6 to 7) and not to mention it being so laggy it struggles with launching Firefox and for example a file browser at the same time, and loading a webpage also takes a long time (around 20 seconds for Google, YouTube about 30 s)

  Yeah, these computers are really just unusable even for really lightweight work, yeah “upgrade to a SSD, it will be blazing fast”, wouldn’t that just speed up the boot time? The least important thing? Since like I can just walk somewhere and then come back before it boots, but when I’m waiting for a webpage to load or a program to load up it’s really that I do have to wait there, doing nothing in the meantime

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dotnet developer⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was about to say that most apps should check the NT number but then I remembered that until XP it wasn’t common to run a NT system, but then I remembered NT 4 existed basically in the same timeframe as 95 did, and even if the argument went to “it’s a 9x application”, shouldn’t these OSes at least have some sort of build number or different identifier systems? Because as I said NT systems were around, so they would probably need a check for that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yeah, but...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Hell I was born in the mid to late 00s and i grew up in the 2010s, but I still did this, we did have dialup internet (i lived and still live in the middle of nowhere, but now we get satellite internet) and I distinctly remember the time we went with my sis and some friends and a fucking massive storm appeared, I thought we were gonna die lol, I think I was like 10 or 11 at that time

  Yes I am an European, specifically one of the eastern kind

  I was just referring to the homework folder stereotype, i wouldn’t be that stupid to do something like this

  Best comment of the month award goes to you, genuinely made me chuckle

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex Users Fear New Feature Will Leak Porn Habits to Their Friends and Family⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, and you don’t even have to use any software, you can just store it in a folder no one would care about, best hidden with a name resembling something boring no one would surely open

  This, that is the only feature I miss from mobile chromium browsers, but the addition of anyways dark mode with dark reader is outweighing it a little bit
