  What was your prompt?

  Hey, quite a few people bought Game Pass for a month to try out Cities: Skylines 2, because it was quite a lot cheaper than the game itself (and considering the poor state the game was released in, probably not much more than a month of replay value anyway)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are SMS messages so expensive?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But with WiFi, you don’t have to pay extra for more data usage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are SMS messages so expensive?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  WiFi?

  Because they care about your experience and want to ensure you’re getting the most out of your computer by suggesting helpful productivity apps?

  Why not leave the defaults as-is? They’re probably set like that for a reason.

  Agreed, just glance at the linked Reddit thread and it’s refreshing how little Linux is mentioned. I’m really tired of seeing it (and related FOSS circlejerking) on every vaguely related Lemmy thread and I suspect that’s where most of the “Linux bashing” is coming from, they’re just sick of it.

  What’s the troll card?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the hurdle isn’t money but time, and yes it takes quite a bit of time to learn a new OS, figure out why your graphics card is running so slow, move your files to an external drive and back, find alternatives to the programs you use and learn their quirks and missing features, learn the difference between apt-get and snap and flatpak when programs only support one, figure out what a .tar.gz file is and how to install one (what was that chain of commands with “sudo make” in it), find tweaks and workarounds to get certain games working in Proton, and do that all again if you don’t like the distro (because Linux users love suggesting new distros)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Trying an orange is a lot easier than creating a boot USB, copying all your files over to an external hard drive, installing a new OS, fixing weird things like the graphics card having crap performance or the laptop screen brightness not dimming, learning the weird 3 letter file structure, being bogged down by apt-get vs snaps vs flatpak and adding repos (why not search and download an .exe like a normal OS), realizing that your more specialized programs don’t work, etc.

  Besides, it’s not just ONE person, seeming everyone says it every time a lemon has a scratch or a blemish or too many seeds. And then they dramatize it by calling it an “abusive relationship”.

  Did Lemmy even exist 3 years ago? I thought the Lemmy migration was only last summer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gel and lithium-ion tech could enable 1000-mile EV range on one charge⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It would be useful for electric bikes and things that you could feasibly own alongside a car and use for 90-95% of trips.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gel and lithium-ion tech could enable 1000-mile EV range on one charge⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d love gel and lithium-ion batteries in an ebike or a velomobile. It would result in a 40% increase in range with no extra weight, making them more of a viable alternative for somewhat longer commutes (think 10-15 miles). Sure we should be serving those by high speed public transit, but this would be a faster stopgap/alternative.

  Oh and it would be useful for electric trucks too, even short-range ones could be made lighter with less batteries.

  So steam engine cars then?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't believe Auto Save feature in any software⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  First of all, it’s fine to write code on Windows. In fact, many companies have windows-only development workflows.

  Second of all, many Linux programs also use standard shortcuts like Ctrl+S. Linux is more than Vim.
