- Comment on List of Alternatives to Adobe Programs 1 day ago:
I am surprised that its actually still a product they sell and seemingly update. Looking on their product page, wow it has git support - it can be yours for $22.99/month too!
(That will also require you to give your soul to them too, via a contract signed in blood)
- Comment on Microsoft CEO says up to 30% of the company's code was written by AI | TechCrunch 1 day ago:
No human would be stupid enough to change something’s name for zero reason.
Well, unless you’re a product manager at Google apparently… Though with them you’re lucky if its just a change of name rather than it becoming an entirely “new” thing, or just getting outright axed…
- Comment on Lemmy has the ideal number of posts for me. Just enough to have a good time but not too many that I'm scrolling forever 2 weeks ago:
And it also went open source recently too! I was happy to see that, as I know it was a blocker for a lot of people.
It’s almost crazy just how active the dev is, I feel like I’m always seeing the “Summit was updated” screen - it is very clear just how much passion the dev has for Summit and for the Fediverse.
- Comment on Online ‘Pedophile Hunters’ Are Growing More Violent — and Going Viral: With the rise of loosely moderated social media platforms, a fringe vigilante movement is experiencing a dangerous evolution. 4 weeks ago:
No of course not, then they’d actually face consequences for it.
(Yes, I know there are people who do this to those who aren’t rich and still face consequences but I get the feeling that’s more of “the exception rather than the rule”)
- Comment on The vast majority of "Remind Me"s notifications in Reddit will never be seen by users who set them. 4 weeks ago:
The last time I was on, I still saw it running (even after the API bs).
I’m willing to bet that Reddit granted them an exception because it’s a widely used utility and isn’t a client that obscures what they really want you to see (ads).
- Comment on Microsoft accidentally removed Copilot in the latest Windows 11 update. 1 month ago:
Not to my knowledge, no*. Though it’s been a while since I looked into it.
* Outside of running them inside a Windows VM on Linux, but that has its own issues. Especially if you use any of the CC apps that need GPU acceleration. It can definitely be done, but I’d argue most people are not going to want to go through the effort and rather just use Windows directly.
- Comment on Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing 1 month ago:
They had another redesign this year too as well, to try to make it more “discord-y” that’s currently in beta I believe.
Though I do think they’re a little too late…
- Comment on Reddit plans to lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says | Reddit executives also discussed how they might introduce more ads into the social media platform 2 months ago:
Can confirm, I can use Boost for Reddit on my main account which is a moderator for a sub, but my second account which has no moderation abilities “breaks” the app until I switch back.
- Comment on LG monitor asking about ad tracking preferences 6 months ago:
(inb4 ethernet over HDMI: There is no implementation of the spec in the wild).
How about Thunderbolt? This looks like macOS, and while I’m not 100% sure if they utilize HDMI ports anymore, they certainly use Thunderbolt.
- Comment on The worst feeling of my life:My vacation is ending tomorrow 6 months ago:
I know the feeling, I just had a week off and returned to work on Friday a couple of days ago.
- Comment on After 11 years, Xbox One emulators are finally coming to PC - but they're not actually using emulation at all 6 months ago:
Jeez, no wonder Infinite has always had such a bad reputation then!
- Comment on After 11 years, Xbox One emulators are finally coming to PC - but they're not actually using emulation at all 6 months ago:
As far as I recall, Infinite has had online co-op, just not local/split screen co-op.
But don’t quote me on that!
