  You take that back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨USDA Reverses Course, Commits to Restore Purged Climate Webpages in Response to Farmers’ Lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re applying the techbro startup “move fast and break thing” motto, which can be a good strategy while you’re small to disrupt the established players.

  Not souch when you’re a behemoth like the goverment that can’t adjust its trajectory on a whim when facing an imminent collision, and the general public ends up with the short stick while the oligarchs picks up the pieces of a self-sabotaging system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nextcloud cries foul over Google Play Store app rejection⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  That and the process of being audited for your app to gain access to Google Drive is apparently a nightmare on top of being super expensive.

  No wonder so many apps don’t even bother adding the ability to sync files with like Joplin.

  I hope the EU eventually crack down on that bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nextcloud cries foul over Google Play Store app rejection⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  People with non-rooted phones won’t get automatic updates via F-Droid which is a big hurdle.

  Not true if the app to update uses a high enough API version and if you use F-Droid Basic.

  NOTE: The Basic version of F-Droid Client has a reduced feature set (e.g. no nearby share and no panic feature). It targets Android 13 and can do unattended updates without privileged extension or root.

  Good thing that such clauses are null and void in Québec, Canada.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VMware perpetual license holders receive cease-and-desist letters from Broadcom⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Broadcom is where previously good softwares go to die.

  Proxmox and Nutanix must be quite happy with the new customers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CrowdStrike Announces Layoffs Affecting 500 Employees⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That July 2024 outage must have hit their forecast pretty hard. Best wishes to those affected :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X.com blocks access to Ekrem Imamoglu, leader of Turkish opposition⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  One more reason to not put all of your social media eggs in the same basket.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mouse pointers with drop shadows have their visual click zones and actual ones misaligned.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In the cursor metatada you can specify where the click occurs. Personally I always assumed the click would happen at the tip of the arrow, not the shadow below.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨8BitDo no longer shipping to US from China due to Trump tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hopefully they still can ship direct to Canada.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA: I want a law for PC games to be offered in physical versions again⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I want the law to allow resales of digital game licenses, and the storage medium shouldn’t matter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨can't beat the classics⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I convert articles I want to retain as markdown (no images whenever possible), at least it’s easy to store, archive and search.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If buying isn’t owning, surely that means pirating isn’t stealing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US cuts may affect FOSS projects funding (F-Droid, Tor, Let's Encrypt, TailsOS)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Please, they’ll be owned to epic proportions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tariffs on Canadian goods having a 'devastating effect,' U.S. farmers say⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In terms they’ll understand: you reap what you sow

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When I sort by "newest" why is the top post a month old?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My gues sis that the post was submitted with incorrect timestamp, and despite being reverted to the correct one, ot doesn’t seem to be taken i to account correctly in Lemmy. Maybe the post was set far into the future and it’s gonna be stuck there in new until forever 🤣

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Italy demands Google poison DNS under strict Piracy Shield law⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know why Italy is wasting time on this.

  Tech-illiterate politicians making public actions so their corporate donators keep investing in them.

  One way that their incompetency limits the amount of damage they can accomplish.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HP Inc settles printer toner lockout lawsuit with a promise to make firmware updates optional⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Or they could, just not be dicks and supply firmware updates without the lock-in, instead of having to trade off security.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's weird that a room with just a toilet and sink is called a "half bath", when it in fact has zero bathtubs.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Never heard “half bath”, and I always called those washrooms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Digg is about to be rebooted. Thoughts?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bought and revived by Alexis Ohanian? It can only turn out into a dumpster fire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Opening Lemmy in the morning and seeing dozens of unread comments in your inbox makes you think: what the heck did I say yesterday?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  update private_message set deleted = true from person where person.id = private_message.creator_id and person.actor_id in ('https://lemmy.cafe/u/nicole');
  

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Undocumented 'Backdoor' Found In Chinese Bluetooth Chip Used By a Billion Devices.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One more reason to have actual open-source drivers instead of binary blobs…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We all deserve better than this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, I’m just keeping my money in my saving account. No way I’m spending my hard-earned money on overpriced stuff, I can wait a while longer, and I’m considering a Steam Deck as my daily driver.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brother accused of locking down third-party printer ink cartridges via forced firmware updates, removing older firmware versions from support portals⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I suggest whoever has old firmware files to upload them to the Internet Archive (if they allow those).

  Hotdog / Not Hotdog

  And I enjoy being a Linux nerd, so suck it Grok.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Next week, Amazon is stripping away your ability to download your ebooks.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One more reason not to be ebooks from Amazon anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What 5 Megabytes of Computer Data Looked Like in 1966 ~ Vintage Everyday⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The average modern website takes more than this per page to display its content… it’s absurd.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best way to turn off people and get lower tips⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Custom: 10% because you didn’t put the default 15% and gave me extra work

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We should have a WET timezone⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean if you specify GMT, one could assume that you need to apply DST during summer, while UTC is garanteed to be static.
