- Comment on Meta is failing to stop dangerous disinformation in the world’s most spoken languages. 2 days ago:
I’d more likely argue they’re facilitating it, but that’s just me.
- Comment on Dear Big Tech, Stop Shoving AI Into Operating Systems 3 days ago:
Adobe’s been starting to get some pushback and people ditching them for FOSS alternatives lately, though.
- Comment on Anyone remember how popular the group Head Cleaner was? 1 week ago:
Head Cleaner unironically sounds like something a group really would’ve called themselves.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 details: Screen size, controllers, storage, microphone chat and games 1 week ago:
The fact that Nintendo is trying to bring back literal license dongles with their Game-Key Card, when dongle DRM died in the '80s for games for a reason, don’t help matters.
- Comment on YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy 1 week ago:
The ‘not leaving centralized services’ thing isn’t really helped when there’s basically no other viable alternatives, like is the case with YT. PeerTube exists, sure, but it’s a content desert, sadly.
- Comment on EU considers tariffs on digital services Big Tech 1 week ago:
Google’s been attacking those lately, mostly to success (Piped and Invidious are effectively dead, ViewTube is also dead, and FreeTube’s a target now).
- Comment on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account 2 weeks ago:
Nothing’s stopping you from nuking your Windows install and installing some Linux distro though, at least on PC.
- Comment on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account 2 weeks ago:
Blender at least has gotten to the point where an indie flick made with it actually won some Oscars and other big awards, so that pretty much put it on the map as a viable Maya or 3DSMax alternative, so there’s that.
- Comment on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account 2 weeks ago:
No it’s not, multiplayer games with anticheat that hard-locks you into Windows and productivity software with DRM that hard-locks you into Windows is still a thing, if that were to stop being a thing, then Windows’ dominance on the desktop might finally be threatened, but until then, sadly, no.

That applies for PeerTube, Matrix, Pixelfed, and Mastodon as well.
- Comment on Musk 'Pressured' Reddit CEO to Silence DOGE Critics, Leaving Moderators Outraged: Report. 2 weeks ago:
I’d argue Lemmy and other decentralized platforms are the last bastion for free speech instead of Reddit though.
- Comment on Musk 'Pressured' Reddit CEO to Silence DOGE Critics, Leaving Moderators Outraged: Report. 2 weeks ago:
I’m not and never was banned from there, however I left on my own accord after this happened, as if all their other enshittification didn’t reinforce that decision.
- Comment on Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows. 2 weeks ago:
And my Reddit account is now gone, I nuked it.
- Comment on Humming along in an old church, the Internet Archive is more relevant than ever. 2 weeks ago:
The current American regime is a good reason for them to not only move to whatever the data storage equivalent of a tax haven is, but also move fully to Tor/I2P to cover their tracks against any enemy powers.
- Comment on Musk 'Pressured' Reddit CEO to Silence DOGE Critics, Leaving Moderators Outraged: Report. 2 weeks ago:
One more reason to use Lemmy.
- Comment on Finally, a Linux laptop with a brilliant display and performance that rivals my MacBook (from Germany) 2 weeks ago:
Framework’s doing a pretty good job standing out for laptops anyways, with their user-repairability focus.
- Comment on Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be? 3 weeks ago:
Alright then MS, (this is hypothetical as I haven’t ran Windows as my main OS in years and don’t plan on going back), since you want me to trade in my hardware, how 'bout I trade in your OS instead? :p
- Comment on X Sues Indian Government Over Expanded Censorship Powers in High Court. 3 weeks ago:
X is one to talk given how bad they are about censorship themselves.
- Comment on X (Twitter) is down in worldwide outage. 5 weeks ago:
This was bound to happen, someone was going to attack the Nazi propaganda platform formerly known as Twitter at some point.
- Comment on We all deserve better than this 5 weeks ago:
At least you can still use your older hardware, and at least Radeon cards as old as GCN1 are still actively supported outside of Windows.
- Comment on Cloudflare blocking Pale Moon and other browsers with smaller user bases 5 weeks ago:
You can always build a PC and not have to deal with that UEFI signing stuff as you’re expected to provide your own OS still, that option hasn’t been eliminated yet.
- Comment on Cloudflare blocking Pale Moon and other browsers with smaller user bases 5 weeks ago:
And so far LibreWolf and Icecat have both worked fine for me.
- Comment on Cloudflare blocking Pale Moon and other browsers with smaller user bases 5 weeks ago:
Wouldn’t that also block Firefox by proxy?
- Comment on Brother accused of locking down third-party printer ink cartridges via forced firmware updates, removing older firmware versions from support portals 1 month ago:
It’s going to get to the point where you might be better off going back to dot matrix if tank-based inkjet printers are somehow locked down via chemical DRM too.
- Comment on Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic 1 month ago:
In the US at least, the courts are seemingly bought out.
- Comment on Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic 1 month ago:
Icecat’s good too.

Plus RawTherapee and DarkTable are pretty good, and actually free, Lightroom alternatives to boot.
- Comment on After 40 years of being free Microsoft has added a paywall to Notepad 1 month ago:
Good thing whenever I set up Windows, Notepad is one of the things I nuke, using Geany to replace it.

If this doesn’t help physical book sales, nothing will.
