If your phone is powered your location can be tracked. Secured or not: your location can always be tracked.

The rest is doubtful, always assume law enforcement has access at will.

Just don’t bring it.

Not that guy but another: No. You? Because Microsoft is a lot of things but walled gardens is something out of Cupertino. Not Redmond.

You can call MS shitty and I would fully concur but a walled gardens it’s not.

You don’t need ad, Exchange/outlook, m365, entraid. They’re nice for most users but you can live without and use other services in their place on any MS platform.

Now, iOS… Have fun with that.

Vista was great. It just needed double the ram which was standard back then.

There are still functions of Vista MIA in w11. It was far ahead of it’s time.

It wouldve been easier to just state:

I am the Musk. I mean borg. Resistance is futile. I will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to my own. Your culture will adapt to service me.

Way simpler and everyone would get it.

I think he is old, like me and means aldus photostyler. Which was light years ahead of adobe in background separation.

And then we say…

Anyone? Somebody? Come on people. Nobody? Well, guess it’s up to me.

Fuck Spez.

That’s. Uh… the entire idea of a kickstarter.

It may crash and burn. Don’t want that, don’t back anything on kickstarter.

I should look hard and long at Intel Arc if i was you. Those are nice and a clear move up the ladder from where you are at. And they are reasonably priced.

I was in the same boat. Then I decided that the 50x0 was a paper launch and the leaks told me that the 9070XT would lower or have the same performance as the 7900xtx.

Then the 7900xtx dropped in price, clearing the channel for the new gen.

Then I bought that.

Ever since I’ve been wondering… Why didn’t I buy this thing earlier?

It’s more then fast enough. The RT performance is above the 3080.

Every 9070XT I can buy now is almost 200 euro more then what i payed for the 7900xtx.

What I learned? Buy previous gen in it’s “dying” weeks.

From a musk pov it’s 100% logical. Money.

Why? Win2k was quite stable. Stable enough to use it in warships.

Linux/Bsd is not free. When you use it in your company you want pro support. That support comes free with windows enterprise licenses. So the cost difference there is almost non existent. And, MS being M$, they would’ve sweetened the deal. A lot. Just think of the marketing worth of this deal for MS.

And lastly: Who is cheaper? A good linux admin or a windows guy?

So 90% of the stability at 50% of the cost. That’s not a bad deal.

From everyone looking in: what the fuck is, ok, was Hexbear, why should I care and wtf can’t I read anything from that place.

Same with registration, instances, etc. It’s explained nowhere where how and why and i never have found a complete index with instances and communities.

I only can use lemmy because of sync. Yes, I’m also a reddit refugee.

Correction: Android and apple carplay are just as worse, maybe even more so.

If you’re not American it doesnt really matter. Your data in china or your data in the US. Both are bad, m’kay?

Looks at the top of the line Samsung Odessey 49"/54" ultrawide monitor. Looks at specs. Reread this comment.

Uhuh

Hans… Are we… Are we the baddies?

Hello fellow 50ish year old gamer.

You forgot homeworld.

Disco is terrible, lazy writing. It’s just endless word vomit.

I like literature, smart word play. but this ain’t that. This is just throwing everything including piss, vomit, semen and feces on the wall and see what sticks. And in a lot of early game scenes it’s this quite literally.

Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that Disco is not for everyone. You love it or it makes you nauseous. There is nothing in between. And you only know which one is you when you try it.

You begin your comment saying you don’t understand. And then you state the exact reasons why. You do know. You just hope your wrong. You aren’t. Google (and Apple) have become worse then Microsoft.

I disabled ipv6 long ago and never moved. Not even blinked.

Hell no.

Are you u all living in rosy mc Rosewood Santa’s little safe harbour everything is fine and dandy rainbow world? Or are you all lying through your teeth?

Letting someone in your home with clearly visible psychological issues, in your circle of trust, filled with those you hold most dearly and packed with your dearest memories, that place… And then letting someone in you know nothing about?

Hell fucking no.

In the real world letting some rando homeless dude in your home has a 50/50 chance of ending up in crazy town. There is a high probability that you, yours or your stuff get fucked up. I cannot and will not accept those odds. Even a 2% chance of shit happening is a risk I’m unwilling to take when it comes to my kids.

Would I help him? Maybe. It depends on some factors (like can I at that specific time, did I help him out earlier, do I have cash on hand) Would I let him in? No f-ing way.

So real answer: money: maybe, eat & drink: anytime. Clothes: I’ve got some you can have, no problem. Bath and clean: nope. Never.

That’s not what i meant. Replies are just more a cesspit over here and often not worth the energy needed to read them.

Often there is no room for debate.

And that’s for sure hurting the platform.
