I saw this coming and switched to GIMP and Inkscape. It’s been a pain but I’ve managed. I’m just the IT guy though, and I would be laughed out of the room if I suggested our marketing team consider making the same switch.
It’s not a matter of seeing it coming. They just don’t care.
I can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find it this explanation.
My first thought was “wait did discord saying something bad about FOSS lately?” No, nothing unusual. Must be missing something.
Turns out some people see Discord as a sort of mascot for closed source, and that is what the joke hinged on.
Edit:
Actually it’s worse than that, isn’t it? They’re seeing the coexistence of closed source as being antithetical to open source.
Good luck with that I guess.
I was thinking about this the other day. I support some very, very technologically limited users and I wondered if anyone out there is working on a distro/DE that looks and feels just enough like windows to get them by
I would never have considered this before they announced Recall. Now it feels like I’m waiting to see just how hard they push it
Is it not clear which definition of Crypto he’s using?
Linus coming out against cryptography seems so unrealistically silly to me that it’s not even worth considering.
It showed up for me about a month ago. I put up with it for about a week and then broke down and finally switched all my browser search engines to duckduckgo.
The funny thing is, I tried making this same switch a couple years ago. I legitimately had a harder time getting the results I needed and ended up switching back to Google.
Google is worse than useless to me now.
How about Analogue August or Stop Scrolling September?
I’ll also say, Offline October is pretty dang good.
Okay then, where did all the young and in-touch people end up?
Gmail has a bad habit of losing my emails anyway. Maybe yours too if you ever used Google Inbox.
I migrated my main account to Inbox and it was honestly the best email experience I’ve had. Unfortunately, the forced migration following its collapse left my Gmail riddled with problems.
Granted, it’s not losing days worth of email. It just occasionally attempts to automatically categorize emails into categories that don’t exist, removing them from my inbox and leaving them in a weird uncategorized limbo space. Once there, I have to search for them specifically before they will show up anywhere.
The worst part is, it is so inconsistent that I have no clue when to expect it. I have missed major bills this way.
I have a coworker who is also an Inbox refugee. He is the only other person I’ve met with identical Gmail issues.
it’s becoming more obvious every day that lemmy is where the old and out of touch people migrated to
Hey I’ve heard there’s this really cool app for lipsyncing and dancing. Apparently it’s getting pretty popular. Sounds like you’d have more fun there
Given how many politicians are deeply closeted, I like to imagine they hurried this one along quietly
I will be using manipulatious in conversation now. Thank you
Passenger vehicles legally need windows. Afaik, it’s a safety regulation
You’re missing the point that they need those relationships to gain access to sources. You literally cannot force people to talk to you
The problem isn’t that it’s a hysterical idea, it’s that Trump is dumb, unhinged, and blindly supported enough to try it. We know because he literally tried.
We’re somewhere between a total plutocracy and an oligarchy. The millionaire class has a ton of sway
My gut feeling says that’s not entirely true. Generative AI has so many qualities that make could it offensive to so many people, I think we were going to see a pushback from artists regardless. The devs’ shitty training practices just happened to give the artists a particularly strong case for grievances.
I had it gone within two minutes if seeing it appear. Found this thread on it:
The top pinned answer has a single line reg command that I used. I assume there are still pieces of it that will just always be around, but at least it’s out of my mind for now.
The GPO method should work similarly, and it’s what I’m going to try as soon as I see it start showing up on my work domain. I say when, not if, because these things have a way of getting around our deployment schedules. I just know one day will get a dm from a user asking if its a virus and I’ll end up finding out a third of the office already loves it.
That’s the problem though. His core supporters define themselves by who they oppose, so anything negative said about him is seen as an attack and becomes fuel for the hate machine
I’m pretty sure this is happening with ADHD meds too.
