It just somehow makes sense
  • Social Media is limiting your life span and quality of life. I recommend you stay off of it.

  • It just somehow makes sense
  • Dr Pepper was designed to taste like a soda fountain smells. So basically all the flavours mixed together.

  • All pop is pure sugar. Do all pops taste the same?

  • Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission
  • First, needing to set things up does not mean the OS is actively fighting you. If you need to install something for your hardware to work Linux actively wants to aid you, where as Microsoft is actively fighting against you keeping your files and accounts local.

    Second, I tried Linux last week and had minimal issues getting my hardware to work. The biggest problems I had were a result of me over-complicating things because I assumed it would be harder and assumed Linux was at fault. Turns out the specific software I was using was the problem and the fix was easy.

  • Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission
  • Please tell me what exactly you disagree with.

    You sounding like an advertisement for OneDrive. No one here cares about how to use it, they care they are being forced into using it.

  • Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission
  • MS might make it harder to do, but there will always be an option.

    Or you could switch to an OS that isn't actively fighting you.

  • If it's not stopping the user base from using it then they don't care.

  • I switched to Linux last week and I haven't had any issues with my Steam games. Just had to turn on the setting to have Steam provide Linux support for games that don't provide it themselves.

  • They're gambling that it won't be enough to drive the majority of users to other operating systems.

  • Microsoft really wants Local accounts gone after it erases its guide on how to create them
  • Isn't the point of an OS so that users don't have to use cmd prompt? That's why we aren't using DOS anymore.

  • Microsoft really wants Local accounts gone after it erases its guide on how to create them
  • You tried it 12 years ago. So before Windows 8 came out? Think of how much Windows has changed in that time. Linux distros have changed as well, but they have focused on usability with each change.

  • Microsoft really wants Local accounts gone after it erases its guide on how to create them
  • Steam has built in Linux compatibility that you can turn on for all games and has been working great for me. Lutris and Wine provide other compatibility options.

  • Can't you just have an OS that doesn't fight you constantly when you're trying to use your computer the way you want?

    Voting as Fire Extinguisher

    by Kyle Tran Myhre

    When the haunted house catches fire: a moment of indecision.

    The house was, after all, built on bones, and blood, and bad intentions.

    Everyone who enters the house feels that overwhelming dread, the evil that perhaps only fire can purge.

    It’s tempting to just let it burn.

    And then I remember: there are children inside.

  • Trump Joked About Nazi 'Ovens' to His Jewish Employees, Says Former Trump Org VP
  • Oh ya, Trump is oozing with honey, that's why he has so much support.

    No one is "forcing" anyone to vote for Biden. They're just me being coddled when they say Biden is bad so you should let someone significantly worse be in power.

    The time to complain about Biden not being good enough is during the primaries, and the 3.5 years between elections. People need to accept reality that this coming election is between Biden and Trump, and no amount of complaining about Biden will change that.

    Yes, absolutely complain that Biden isn't doing enough and push him to do more. But this rhetoric of "I'm not going to vote for Biden so that the US can burn to the ground under Trump" is childish.

  • Microsoft Account to local account conversion guide erased from official Windows 11 guide — instructions redacted earlier this week
  • I installed Linux Mint last week. I was waiting until I had a 2nd drive to install it on so I could still have windows if needed.
    It was easier to install than windows ever was, and easier to find help to do the things I want. It makes a world of difference when your OS isn't actively fighting you all the time. I even had an easier time connecting to my media tower over the network (which is still on Windows) and accessing its files than I ever had trying to connect to it from a Windows machine.

    I haven't touched my windows drive once since I installed Mint and I'm planning on taking it off to free up my SSD.

  • The mask ban shit is unreal.
  • It's amazing how the people who are expressing their freedom not to wear a mask get really offended by people who express their freedom by wearing a mask.

    It's starting to make me think it's not about freedom...

    Ublock origin blocking images only from a specific instance

    This is a weird one.

    I am subscribed to Risa@startrek.website When browsing on my phone I can see the thumbnails just fine. When browsing on my desktop ublock origin blocks the thumbnails and avatars, but only from the startrek.website instance, and only when I'm accessing it through Lemmy.ca

    If I go directly to startrek.website I can view everything fine, and other instances I am not encountering this issue with. Any idea what might be the cause? I am using Firefox.

    Is there an r/all equivalent?

    I can go to the main page of a Lemmy instance and see whatever is active on that instance at the time, but is there a way to get something like r/all for all federated instances?
