Have they? VRR support in Linux is still a total crapshoot in my experience. VRR doesn’t work at all with multiple displays in X.

None of these problems are really dealbreakers for a consumer-oriented file system in 2023. Not even ext4 supports CoW. Now that everyone boots off an SSD, things like file fragmentation no longer matter, and most of NTFS’ continued slowness has more to do with Windows itself than the actual file system.

ReFS is Microsoft’s new file system meant for more advanced use cases. It supports many but not all of these advanced features. Starting with Windows 11, you can actually boot off a ReFS drive, though I’m not sure that is a recommended configuration.

The bigger problems Apple has are their enterprise device and user management, and the fact that many businesses are still reliant on Windows-only software.

Most companies I’ve worked for buy machines that usually aren’t much cheaper than Apple equivalents, at least in terms of MSRP, despite the quality often being worse. My work-provided 2022 HP Z-Book 15 is more expensive as configured than my personal M2 14" MacBook Pro, and is still a shittier machine in just about every objective (and subjective) way I can think of. This is because enterprises typically buy business class laptops like Lattitudes and ThinkPads rather than lower cost (and less durable) consumer oriented machines. That said, it is not uncommon for IT departments at large enterprises to pay well under MSRP for these machines when buying in bulk.

The whole reason for this big migration is Reddit taking away mod tools. If you think Lemmy isn’t going to support things like this then you are in for a bit of a surprise.

I fail to see how it’s in Google’s interest to put up with the Muskrat’s shenanigans. Twitter could collapse overnight and it would be no skin off Google’s teeth.

Are you saying we can’t have a little fun watching Elon slowly destroy his new 44 billion dollar toy?

I’m surprised any other entities let him push them around? What is actually in it for anyone to do anything for this stupid waste of carbon and water?

Exactly.

Reddit enshittified because their management is incompetent. They couldn’t turn a profit running ads on a site that mostly serves text, and they couldn’t build a mobile app anyone actually wants to use. They wasted millions of dollars of development on nonsensical bullshit that never panned out instead of improving their core platform.

YouTube enshittified because hosting this much video is insanely complex and expensive, and people demand it for free. The idea that PeerTube or Odysee could replace it is farcical.

YouTubers themselves will not leave for anything that doesn’t pay them as much or more than YouTube itself. This is why most of them putting content on additional platforms are doing so on Nebula, Floatplane, or Patreon. Not PeerTube.

Did nobody read the article? Nowhere does it say they would make Windows cloud-only. They’re talking about renting out virtual machines.

In this case, the problem was solved over 60 years ago. This billionaire decided to reject the tried and tested solution and came up with their own.

When you make a community whose key promise is providing a safe space for marginalized groups, is it not your duty to actually make good on that promise?

To Beehaw, following through on that is more important than growing as fast as possible. People who want growth at all costs shouldn’t use Beehaw.
