Why do you think they do? Logically think it through.

Market sharen and incumbent advantage. Ease of adoption (or appearance of). Ubiquity and lack of need to retain. Predatory behaviour by MS. Different priorities for users.

Unless you actually consider the real reasons why Windows is so widespread you’ll never make a dent in it.

What happened with Unity in the end? Did they back down?

will they still be like that in ten years?

This is a minor point but on Instagram if you press the logo in the top left you can pick Following and it shows you a chronological timeline of only those accounts you actually follow. Instead of the usual shitshow set of reels.

Also a little plug for !microblog_memes@lemmy.world which is our WhitePeopleTwitter replacement.

Going back to /r/all on reddit now just pure trash. It’s unbelievable how badly it’s declined, very recently.

Someone, somewhere, is making decisions about piracy without understanding how it works. And no one could be bothered to correct them.

The trouble is in England if you don’t use deliveroo or whatever, the only food you can get on takeaway (delivered or collection) is kebabs or pizza. The main restaurants tend not to bother with their own takeaway.

Totally agree. It’s such a shame the issues with lemmy can’t be fixed to Beehaw’s satisfaction.

An old MS-DOS game from the 90s called Solar Winds, by Epic Megagames. It was top down and you flew around battling spaceships and doing missions in space. I absolutely loved it as a kid. Pretty sure you can get it for free now.

Actually yes hereit is https://www.playdosgames.com/online/solar-winds/

Hunter Biden is also 53 years old. This isn’t some juvenile runaway with a cushty job provided by his dad, he’s some old dude. At what point is Joe Biden no longer responsible for him?

He is very good at the following things:

• being born rich
• investing in a slam dunk future technology everyone on the planet knows we will need, eg money on the internet, electric cars, space ships
• taking risks in combining the above

That is about as far as his skillset runs. As we’ve seen from twitter, when he doesn’t have an entire layer of his organisation set up to run interference in him, he quickly runs companies into the ground. He has had zero original ideas.

He’s also a dangerous alt-right racist nutjob.

Retaining some ability to spend and use cash is vital because otherwise, all our financial transactions are totally controlled by the banks, and they are completely untrustworthy. The cost is inconvenience.

It’s the same argument as banning private schools - if the rich have to use the same infrastructure as the rest of us, they’ve got less incentive to dismantle it.

“Imagine you could see someone’s twitter page from your Facebook account. It’s like that.”

It turns out cable wasn’t some unique product or way of doing things, it’s just the natural form media delivery takes under capitalism. Streaming services are convergently evolving to take that shape too.

Have you found any decent guitar communities on lemmy?

we should improve society somewhat

yet you participate in society! curious

So you can only critique capitalism if you’re unsuccessful? That doesn’t make any sense.

An alien that died on earth would probably not even rot because our food chain is so dependent on our proteins.

That is a super interesting idea. Presumably it would bring it’s own bacteria though?
