Yeah us politics don’t really impact anyone else on the planet outside of the 50 states

Is this politics?

I’m so torn between “good that the kids learning to do the math” and “kid is still basically paying for Barbie dream house clothing packs which change the actual game exactly 0”

Net positive I think, and good on op for nudging kinder the right direction, but…damn have game companies gotten us under their fingers.

PCs are, steam is not

It’s primary purpose is DRM which is a net burden to society. Everything else you list is to help you forget that.

30% is mad decent. For all the haters on California’s insane tax, steam takes a 3x larger cut on all income, and California build roads with it. Steam maybe develops half-baked features.

Gog

The most cleverly disguised url in history. Come on man, don’t be ridiculous.

25% reduction in refresh rate to only 4x the historical standard that most humans alive grew up with balanced against any semblance of privacy seems like an easy win…

It’s a sliding scale

Agreed there may be a middle ground somewhere. 1 GB in 2024 feels pretty light given I just bought 36 tb for the same price a cheap tablet…it’s just never gonna be parity.

Nah, fundamentally proton uses the same encryption as everyone else, they just have a central server to exchange keys rather than one of the open servers.

No idea what your point is. Are you arguing the history of apple as a morally depraved company?

And you’ve never heard of sqlite

It can also link nicely over odbc to full databases which are represented a nice tables…with links between sheets…waiiit a second.

Uses compute platform that’s spent (all of personal computer history) trying to exclude any outsiders from working with them, a design intention of Steve Jobs from day one leading to significant waste and suffering for the past 50 years.

Sad that Microsoft doesn’t care

At least Linux has a leg to stand on. The culture can be exhausting but is generally in the right.

Wait who are the technical people you work with who are using things besides Excel?? Or by technical people do you specifically mean computer science people? Cause you get mech, civil, or electrical engineers in a room and I think I would have a heart attack if their designs were not all in Excel or word (+altium, solidkindaworks, etc)

It…was intended for those things. Excel is modern business’ multi-tool. You’re not going to excise it until there is a solution for the HR person to do basic bulk data processing, basic Excel programming without having to acknowledge they are doing programming, etc.

The other path is better spreadsheet software, but let’s be honest most of the others are poor clones. Gsheets are nearly useless, only office is solid but…well, it’s just Excel but free. Open office is Excel millennium edition and libre while better than open, and has a few nice quality of life improvements, it’s still Excel.

Deeply curious about the down votes, isn’t this accurate?

Browser integration with quality biometric login is a beautiful thing. Keepass’ implementation of both is trash, and keepassxc’s browser integration may actually be worse than the original.

That having been said I always recommend to people they use two managers, with keepass being the secure base for things you don’t often need convenient access to like savings accounts, password manager passwords, tax services, etc.

bitwarden, proton, et al I use for the day-to-day…I don’t give any fucks if my Lemmy account is lost for example.

“A walled garden is a garden enclosed by high walls, especially when this is done for horticultural rather than security purposes, although originally all gardens may have been enclosed for protection from animal or human intruders.”

Agreed proton isn’t this

"A closed platform, walled garden, or closed ecosystem[1][2] is a software system wherein the carrier or service provider has control over applications, content, and/or media, and restricts convenient access to non-approved applicants or content. "

Try using thunderbird and id argue proton is this
