No shit

Try installing nvidia drivers on Linux and then report back in a few days

Windows is shit but it’s more convenient and reliable and works way more easily out of the box for 99% of people. This is not even debatable

And for the record I use all 3 major OSs. They all have their uses and Linux is great for a lot of shit but you 100% have to thinker with it way more than with other OSs.

WiFi performance is iffy, same with Bluetooth. We have a ton of data from the company I work it so it’s not even just 1 machine. It’s a few dozen.

Because for the majority of people the experience is reversed

I’ve never had WiFi drivers just broke in my windows laptop out of the blue. With Linux that happened more than once. And having your wifi drivers break when you are not at home is super annoying to deal with because you can’t get to the usual fix.

Valve will even allow developers to create their own Steam keys free of charge and sell them wherever they want with no commission whatsoever

That’s pretty open I’d say

You just know they will call it a DEI hire

Same experience

The “my company works with bitbucket or gitlab”.

I’m the release manager for my company. I’d have so many fucking contributions 😅

Competition for entertainment is higher than ever. You even have extremely good free games

An upward increase makes sense only because corporations will try to squeeze every possible cent from consumer. That’s the only justification that they need

Games don’t cost 90$ today for other platforms tho… even Nintendo that are a few years old still cost basically the same as at launch

No, I disagree. If things are really fucked (as they are) 30% of a population is more than enough to enact change. If they are really motivated to do so. Get most of those 30% only the street and you see what power it has.

Of course with 80/90% it’s easier. Much much easier but that’s just fantasy land. You can get 90% of the population to agree on many basic facts, so you can forget about having then agree to protest together.

Plenty of revolutions were made, and dictatorships overturned with much fewer people on board.

I very much disagree on how much power 30% of the population has. Yes the electoral system you have in the USA is beyond stupid. However voting is only the easiest and most polite way to make change.

Go on strike, protest, build some guillotines. If the population really wants it, change will be made, even if it’s only 15/30%. Because the remainder of that population will not opposite necessarily. They just don’t care enough to protest.

Luigi Mangione is just 1 person for example.

That’s just wrong

Put 20/30% of the population of any city or county out on the streets and it will make headlines

It’s technically a loud minority but a very loud and significant minority

The problem is that of those 20/30% only 10% will actually get out on the streets so you are left with around 2% of the general population. And that ain’t much

I have the same issue

Sometimes it’s the multiple posting, sometimes it’s just old posts that are still active and getting comments. Like 2 day old posts. Since they get so many comments still it’s likely that lots of other people are seeing them too

Thanks!!

The worst thing about the API changes wasn’t even that most people didn’t care or weren’t on board. It was that they were actively against the people protesting. In real life when this happens I always give some leeway because everyone has their own problems and they might be a bit annoyed by the protest action (which is part of the protest). But on Reddit?? People lost their fucking minds because they couldn’t have access to some subreddits for like 24h.

Sooooo many people failed to realize that even if you didn’t use third party apps that it would still affect you even if indirectly. They didn’t even have to do anything other than literally do nothing/something other that browsing reddit for a day. And they couldn’t. They vilified and downvoted the protesters and took the side of the billionaire trying to take advantage of everyone ruining Reddit in the process

That fiasco in pretty meaningless in todays world events, but fuck, I still find it a great insight into how much we can suck as a species

“I also chose this guys dead wife”…

Like the inside jokes were really good on Reddit like the switcheroo one, or the guy that always had that whole comment that ended in the wrestling scene but most of them were just repeated to death

How do you even migrate history? Would people even want that

Reputation definitely not. Also who even cares about reputation

Subreddits you can migrate in some apps at least

On Voyager app you can “migrate subreddits” at least

Not sure what else would even be feasible

Welcome to Lemmy!!

Welcome

We’re happy to have you here

The more they do shit like this the more they will

I mean, honestly Reddit is a dead site walking. At this point is not if it will “die” but how fast and I guess more importantly where will its users go. Hopefully here but who knows
