Microsoft doesn’t have loyalty? They have practical market dominance. I say this as a Linux user but ain’t no way Microsoft can do anything to drive away their user base. If their users buy a laptop and find half their software doesn’t run on it or runs sh*ttily due to emulation, I’m pretty sure they’ll blame the laptop manufacturers before Microsoft or demand the laptops have a x86 variant and even that’s a long way before moving to another os.
How is it not. Ons company using their position and influence to compel consumers to use their products the way company wants. I see the same
They didn’t decide one wallet for payments, they decided to prevent anyone else from implementing something that could compete with their own offerrings. This is like Microsoft forcing you to install Windows on mac hardware and you praising them for removing the choice to have alternatives.
And I own the phone and I should be able to do what I want with it. Why does the company providing a product get more rights to that product than the individually physically owning it. Bs like that, like not supporting proper sideloading, is why I moved away from apple.
Not legal pressure, government pressure. They kept getting asked to disclose which accounts had which ports associated with then and share all the info on them they kept (which for some payment methods they do briefly). So they decided to remove the feature rather than potentially violate their founding principle of privacy and anonymity. Kudos to them. Of course f*ck the CSAM assholes who made the government get involved in this and cost us this feature.
I don’t really care what the ui is, I just want some ui that isn’t just reset “accidentally” an an os update or is bypassed by a company (cough microsoft) just tailoring their applications so they always open in edge in flagrant disregard for open standards.
I don’t think either are really active enough to justify a cost and a payment restriction would just worsen that. I do think lemmy should be supported because the whole concept is what reddit and twitter should’ve been to begin with.
I would pay them for a product that suppresses all news about Elon musk so i dont have to read about him every other day. Now that’s a growth market.
I read this as grindr loses 50% of its engineering staff because of dumb management decisions. Honestly the RTO was probably just a cop out to their dwindling user base.
If its too hard to communicate it’s probably to hard to implement as well. Let’s just dissolve these cancers on society and provide free Internet services to everyone whose been wrongfully overcharged the last few years.
Lmao, have you ever a bought a domain name. Its not an NFT, lmao you don’t even own one permanently after buying u. You basically license one from a registrar and that expires after a set interval. There’s no NFTs involved.
This, but maybe not after what we got from Linus to begin with. This is clearly damage control and also is probable detracting from what limus actually feels which is f*ck you I can do what I want and I don’t owe you anything.
Until its no longer profitable like the hundreds of other BS google tricks you into supporting only to ditch later https://killedbygoogle.com/ . Also in what world are you paying under $4 the standard package today is $13.99
Google has been shamelessly destroying all their projects the last few years in a desperate fit to make money. They’ve weakened ad blockers on chrome, they’ve altered the search algorithm so random BS is mixed in with regular to drive towards sponsored content, their starting to setup browser level DRM and creating un skipable ads. None of this is for anything more than greed and desperation. They no longer see anything other than money as the end goal and don’t care if their selling a shittier product at a higher price than no one was ever even willing to pay for. F*ck google.
I want to pay for max so I can watch warrior season 3 and let their BS algorithm know there’s interest in it and not cancel it outright. They don’t even allow subscribers from my country UK so I have no choice but to pirate. They also have not released the season 2 bluray yet and I’m not gonna get the season 1 one if I’m just gonna end up with an incomplete collection cause this company is just allergic to taking my money.
Tbf news articles nowadays mostly focus on SEO and driving engagement. A single letter is the worst thing for SEO. Even suffixing it with Corp can’t overcome that. It just reiterates how big of a moron musk is. But well, at least we get front row seats to someone setting billions on fire.
Given how shamelessly stupid musks whole takeover has been I guarantee they wont won’t. He’ll probably assign someone to keep it renewed and then fire them.
Docker is a container framework. Basically a recipe for a piece of software or a service. All you have to do is download a docker container image (there’s numerous one pre prepared for stuff like qbittorrent or sonarr or jellyfin) and you need to mount (basically reference) your media or configuration directories into the container. By default each container is basically it’s own self contained os (like a vm, but much more efficient). This prevents services from stepping over each other and aids composability because if you’re interested in something new like bazarr literally all you have to do is pull an image and configure it. There’s also something called docker-compose which let’s you put all that configuration for your services into a readable yaml file and then you can just move it from machine to machine to setup or transition.
Note. You can use docker on windows but it’s much more efficient on actual Linux. Windows just runs a pseudo Linux VM for docker support. The real thing is always better.
You should use jellyfin in docker and mount your media files without write permissions. It’s exactly what I do partially for this but more to ease maintenance and reproducing my server.
Tbf the motivation makes sense but don’t publicly announce products just to abruptly drop them. I’ve literally never heard of an apple product that was discontinued. When you make it customer facing you’d best be prepared to put your weight behind it.
