I'll never understand the people that have their photo archive linked to a chat app.

Where I live, line is the de facto standard. Soooo many people don't use any backup and just count on line to manage their pictures. Some dude went viral for losing 10years worth of family pictures when he went from iPhone to android. Line is a shit all that doesn't do any migration past 14days when changing os.

Just use Google photos and never think about it again? Or use self hosted stuff if you don't like the cloud. But for the love of God, don't count on the chat app...

Get a cheap new phone number? Your potential employer will find out your identity eventually when you start working there no? What's the issue with having to use ID to get a new line? You put a fake name on your resume?

There's things like taking privacy too far you know :)

Been using it for close to 10 years. Never had a single serious issue with it. Apps break now and then. A simple reboot of the server or the app fixes it every single time.

A lot of public torrents download and seed at insane speeds. Like "must be in the same building or even the same disk" speeds.

Replying from Ubuntu (distro of the month for me) though, so I know other. I wouldn't say better, just different

Windows is perfectly fine for day to day use. 80% of my PC use (and probably 99% for like most people I know) is in a browser. The remaining 20% is in video games. My browser works 100% the same in Linux as it does in Windows. Video games overall are easier to use in Windows. (I use Steam (90% fine with Linux) and Gamepass, which does not play well with Linux).

But feel free to continue to complain about windows :)

I love how the lemmy FoSS Linux hivemind still down votes you to almost oblivion.

They still haven't figured out this isn't reddit. Shouldn't downvote just because you don't agree with something my dudes...

Haven't seen a queue in ages tbh. Weak argument, not to mention that it doesn't make any sense whatsoever

Pay 2 win? Where? Genuine question. Played it for 40h after launch, never once felt like paying money?

Not refusing, but lately I basically don't pirate games anymore. Steam made it so easy to buy games... + pirating games is always a pita with the required hacks etc. (or at least it was way back when I did it).

Software I don't pirate, I just use foss stuff wherever I can.

I also don't pirate books in general. Just get them on Kindle and support the author (and unfortunately also Jeff bezos)

I pay for Netflix (mainly for kids) and go to the theater for big movies, but aside from that I pirate all screen content.

I also pirate comics, but that's 90% because it's almost impossible to get them legally where I live. I would pay for DC unlimited if it was available in my neck of the woods.

Fuck... New rimworld expansion about to drop...

[–] Firipu@startrek.website 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

World of warcraft and rimworld.

Rimworld fortunately can be paused, so causes less family stress.

Not sure why I keep playing wow, have played it on and off since launch and have enjoyed it, even with all it's flaws. Get sucked in for a few really intensive weeks after every major patch... My wife hates the game with an absolute passion.

Genuine question: in what way is mcdo supporting the genocide in Gaza?
