Yet another one switching from Linux to Windows. Here's my experience so far.

    • More Rust Code Is Coming For Linux 6.14 Along With Hitting Another "Major Milestone"

  • I look forward to the day where building a kernel from scratch is as simple as cargo build and testing it as simple as cargo run without having to muck about with dependencies and all that jazz.

  • In the time that I was forced to use it, an entire team of Microsoft engineers could not get a Linux version working. It's a bloody website wrapped in a browser and they could not get it to work. A single dude made a linux package that just worked until Microshits messed that up right on time for their "official linux release", which (surprise surprise) still refused to work completely.

    Linux users kept having trouble sharing screens, sharing files, couldn't add backgrounds to video calls, and a bunch of other stuff. For a while I thought it was just Linux users, but Mac users were also having trouble (this was before the M1s came along). Mac users had cameras that failed, sometimes couldn't see anybody else's video (just black), were inaudible and had to reconnect, and more issues.

    I have friends who have to use office 265 and the amount of issues they run into is just phenomenal. Passwords have to be changed semi-frequently (every quarter or something) and sometimes they don't sync across the entire system. OneDrive has issues with symlinks (or whatever windows calls them) - either it's a Microshit problem or a user problem, I can't tell, but moving a symlink can sometimes move all the data too.

    Not all the products seem to be properly connected like events created in calendars might not create team links despite configured to do so and only add a team link to the meeting when created within the desktop app (a bug known for a few years now). There have also been problems with OneDrive and SharePoint with access rights not being the same, some files missing (hidden or straight up not synced), and a bunch of other things.

    I've had friends on "workation" walk into my room asking if I could help them with "this microsoft issue" and tell them to straight up ask their support, because I left that turdball of an ecosystem long ago.Boy am I glad I did.

  • Would be great if Europe finally decided to get off of Microsoft and move to self-hosted or EU-hosted, and EU-owned companies and datacenters that use opensource software. It's about time an entire continent stopped sucking on the teet of another and letting in parasites.

  • Will it? I doubt CNN, Faux News, WaPo, or any big news org will even know Pixelfed exists, much less that the creator wrote a snarky message to Zucc.

  • Does threads finally support reading responses from the fediverse? Or seeing posts from the fediverse? Because if it does, trying to get pixelfed and other alternatives trending might be a way to get some attention.

    • iPhone USB-C is hackable, but users don't need to worry yet

    Jump

  • LOL. Apple makes shoddy hardware but Apple fanboys have to find the blame somewhere else of course. Could never be Apple making a mistake. No no no, somebody else fucked up.

    Also, if Apple's major defense is obfuscation, well...

  • You make a good point about legal moderation. Modlists could work on top of that.

    "serverless" communities have been suggested multiple times and hopefully they will be implemented someday. It is a good idea.

  • Hopefully in 10 years, the moderation tools will be good enough to deal with a scaling userbase. What the fediverse needs is moderation subscriptions i.e subscribing to or unsubscribing from moderation actions of different groups or people.

    For example, joining a community would subscribe you automatically to the moderation list of that community, but you could also unsub from the list if you don't like the mods there and sub to a group of people you trust more with mod decisions. Imagine if there's an overeager mod in the community you subbed to and you wanted to exclude the modding decisions - mod lists would allow that.
