People moving away from Microsoft is literally how Microsoft will be held accountable though

Can I interview with you lol - this sounds great!

Re: your last paragraph -

Think of it this way. Google pulls in 300 billion USD a year and 80% of that is advertising revenue, not leaving a whole lot of the pie for Pixel phones once you take out subscriptions, Chromebooks, GCP, etc etc.

Sure, they’re probably making some money on every pixel sale but the point of them making mobile phones is to support their advertising business.

I’m not a Graphene user, but that’s the way I see it. At the end of the day if you get the phone secondhand you’re not giving them any money at all.

I don’t know if @Hackerman_uwu is enough? I’m writing this comment to test it

Maybe !Hackerman_uwu@lemmy.world

Edit: nope neither of those work

Makes you connectable. If you don’t forward ports for your torrent client you can only connect to peers who are port forwarding, meaning you will download and upload more slowly in most cases.

Easy enough to imply it from all of the other comments in the thread, and the fact that the op referred to the ThinkPad in the title. You’re correct, and it’s not your fault the op used the wrong word, but context indicates that they were talking about desktop PCs.

You might know this already, but try emailing the primary authors directly and asking for a copy, it’s often the easiest way to get them if you haven’t got any other way to access.

That’s the great thing about open source though. Sure, you might drop off the face of the earth tomorrow. But if you do, the code is there, and maybe someone who was using it clones the repo and carries on that work.

Eh, I know plenty of developers glued to the apple ecosystem who could probably have a lot of fun with it if they were able to. They just don’t rate it as important enough to counteract the things they like about the ecosystem.

See, you know Reddit is packed with bots when that shitty repost has 6000 upvotes and “does this sub don’t have mods” has 129.

My doctor gave me four months to live.

We’ll see in a year, lol

I’ve got a pretty good mixture of qualifications and am working in a tech adjacent role so I’m not starting from nothing. I have some decent connections and might be able to carve out something at my current org. So it could be worse.

Reddit death > installing mint on my second PC > realising I can run most of the games I play and installing mint on my main PC > start learning Rust as a first foray into programming in a long time > realise I want to go back to uni and study info tech to get out of my shitty marketing job > get a shitty second hand laptop off my parents that struggles to run windows and install endeavourOS to try something different.

It really is a slippery slope. When does it end???

It was a joke, I think

If Linux based handhelds keep getting more popular for gaming, to the point where they represent 5 or 10% or even more of the PC gaming market share, I feel like incompatible anticheats could spell the death of some games when competitors come up that are compatible with the platform.

I don’t expect league of legends to die as a result of this and only this but surely it’s a possibility. From the time I used to play league, I never really seemed to encounter any cheaters (or at least not enough to notice it) over hundreds of hours played. I really don’t see the value proposition to adding it, where I can understand it more in a FPS/TPS.

Of course it’s just as likely, if not more so, that the deck and similar platforms are just a phase, or that a windows based handheld takes the market by storm.

Absolutely I do. I wish this with a lot of things, particularly TV shows/movies.

That’s the best because the song is phenomenal, and I never listen to it now because I’ve heard it too many times. You truly have been given a gift there!

I think however you’re accessing Lemmy is rendering it wrong. I see the usual function.

Everyone who listens to the same downloaded 50 song playlist everytime they open Spotify premium is paying for you to use the service

But I use it much more similar to you than those people so I am also winning lol.
