Actually probably not. Not without major concessions. The pound will have to go which they will never accept unless they have absolutely no other choice

I’m willing to bet that Linux is irrelevant to Microsoft. It doesn’t threaten them, Microsoft has it’s core business elsewhere

Just fuck off and let me use whatever OS I want

Lol I swear lemmy users are the most delusional bunch

I have no clue what you’re talking about. I’ve had Spotify premium for 5-ish years and nothing has randomly changed. The UI changed a bit here and there but nothing you couldn’t ignore if you wanted to and that’s it. I get all the music on the planet and podcasts, it’s a good deal if you ask me

Spotify is losing money, they gain nothing by having free users, if they convert some people to paying customers it’s worth it for them. You can’t expect to listen to music for free when license holders charge ridiculous fees.

The metaverse was stillborn.

It was the hype for like 4 weeks and was dead before it even existed

Lemmy users are just delusional in that regard. You can’t just switch away from Google, its not the tech that makes in great, its the content. It’s the same with messengers, if your friends arent there how useful is that foss messenger really?

Thankfully the only creator I regularly watch that does non-educational videos uploads them on their own website. For everything else nebula actually is an alternative, although I’m not subscribed to it at the moment

Yeah please lock me out of instagram, I beg you

I hope it’s illegal in the EU. Getting fined for a couple billions would put that piece of trash CEO in his place lol

Hey same here, although I’m just getting started in the industry. I’ll look into Unreal soon I guess, been wanting to do that for a while anyways, and maybe also experiment with godot

Thank you for the link, that was an interesting read

Might also be because there are more radical right wingers than left wingers where you live

German, mid 20s, can and do

Google will try everything in their power to stop us from blocking their ads. It’s their main source of revenue, you don’t have to be a genius to see why they don’t like ad blockers

I know a lot of German cops and they’re all just normal, kind people. So it’s not like the good ones are bullied out here, unlike what is said about at least some PDs in the US

Yeah, there’s an amount of niche content that’s just not here (yet). I’m not devoting my time to build a community here myself, but I’m also not gonna use Reddit’s sad excuse for a mobile app because it literally makes me angry to use that piece of shit. So when I’m bored at work on the desktop, I’ll go to reddit, but my traffic is probably down like 60-70%.

My dad has a 3. I have no idea where that manual release is supposed to be

So by saying you need them you are saying they’re not a scam

Or not showing the correct status for your colleagues. Or having back and forwards buttons that don’t work within an app
