Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising
  • The thing that irks me the most is that those things work. They'll see a little complain from the most vocal ones, and that's it. The revenue will increase, their shareholders will be pleased, the OS will be worse, and we'll have no viable alternative.

    Unless governments start to regulate the hell out of tech companies, it's only downhill from there.

    Edit: about Linux, it's not viable if you're outside IT or rely on commercial software. That's a debate for another post.

  • Horoscopes actually tell the personality of someone.

    Hear me out: if someone believes in horoscopes, they know what each sign mean. Which means they recognise themselves into a sign. Which means they will mostly act in ways to conform to that sign, giving you a way to figure that person out. The sign tells it all, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

    Breakthrough battery charges in minutes and lasts thousands of cycles
  • We'll have a battery that will be thousands of times more energy dense that what we have today. The tech industry will make those the size of a rice grain so we can have thinner products and the exact same battery life of electronics today. 😑

  • Voyager 1 Once Again Returning Science Data From All Four Instruments
  • Considering that's one of the two objects humanity ever have on direct contact with the medium outside the limits of our solar system, and the only tool we'll have there for at least four decades, I'd argue that yes, it is pretty valuable.

    The repair from distance part is nothing to be shy about, too.

  • Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite prototype that runs Linux emerges from Tuxedo:12-core CPU with 32GB RAM and surprise, surprise, Debian
  • It looks like a chicken and egg problem: you don't have commercial software available on Linux so people won't use it, so you don't have enough user base to justify the development of Linux versions. This won't be solved unless a big company like Valve decides that Linux is the way and start solving basic issues like usability and installation of apps.

  • Watch: Adobe angers artists with new Photoshop terms
  • Yes, I am being a jerk because GIMP gets routinely thrown around as a Photoshop alternative,which is not. You say I cherry picked a user base, but who are the people that actually pays to use Adobe Cloud? I assure you that they are mostly professionals, because the subscription is expensive.

    Now, the "many people" don't need Photoshop. In fact, there's no reason they should even install it. But people say "Photoshop" and hear "GIMP" as alternative, and this should stop because the app is objectively bad. There's Krita, there's Photopea, there's Darkroom, there's myPaint, there's even Inkscape. Anything is light years ahead that thing, yet it's recommended again and again like a sad joke made to inflict pain on its users.

    GIMP is not a good tool. Stop using, stop recommending it.

  • It's time to stop thinking plastic phones can't be premium
  • You know what's funny? I dream of a form factor like the Nintendo Switch: fully plastic, even the screen, so I could put a high quality glass screen protector like the one I have on the console. The thing is a tank, surviving many falls without a single damage, and I had to swap the protector once in all these years I have it.

  • Uplift Rock songs about being alone

    Can someone recommend songs about going to life alone and feeling good about it? There's too much depressing stuff about loneliness around. All I have on my playlist for now is:

    Whitesnake - Here I go again

    Morrissey - I'm OK by myself

    Jimi Hendrix - Stone Free

    The Beaches - Me & me

    www.neowin.net Windows 11's new AI feature makes it way too easy to steal everything you viewed or typed

    Windows 11's Recall is a brand-new headline feature for Copilot+ PCs. While the idea is interesting, researchers say it makes it way too easy to steal everything you viewed or typed on your computer.

    Oh, you're saying that Recall is a privacy nightmare and a sweet target for malware? Surprised_pikachu.jpg

    Cycling GPS on a motorcycle?

    I was looking around for some GPS equipment for my motorcycle and came across some dirt cheap (in comparison) cycling computers with GPS tracking. This got me wondering, has anyone tried it? Since I don't need nor want all that fancy stuff like tracking, consumption, points of interest, etc, and just want a map, a route and something to show the way, would that be a good idea?

    How do I stop wanting to be on a relationship?

    It's not that I can't. The problem is that when I'm with someone, I deeply yearn to be alone. I'd love to have my life for myself, with no responsibility with no one else - just me.

    But then, when I'm alone, I feel like a failure, like I need a relationship to feel complete, and I fucking hate that. So I end up in another relationship, and after two years I can't stand it anymore, and the cycle repeats.

    What the hell. Has anyone suffered from something like that? How can you be alone and not feel lonely? How to kill this need to be with someone?

    EDIT: Thanks for all the answers, I'm taking every single one into consideration. Please, keep them coming.

    An opinion downvoted to hell is actually a good indication that the opinion is indeed unpopular.

    It's upside-down world here, people. Downvoted away, that is the true hallmark of an unpopular opinion.

    What is a "tax write off"?

    Let's say that I have this one movie that is finished that I spent 80 million to make. I decided to "write it off". So when I get to pay my taxes, do I get a 80 million discount?

    What’s Usenet and how can I access it with modern hardware (phones/laptops)?

    Pretty much the question. I heard about Usenet a while back but never managed to wrap my head around it.

    Why has the world gone to shit?

    In the last 5 to 10 years everything seems to suck: product's and services quality plummeted, everything from homes to cars to food became really expensive, technology stopped to help us to be something designed to f@ck with us and our money, nobody seems to be able to hold a job anymore, everyone is broke. Life seems worse in general.

    Why? Did COVID made this happen? How?

    What are the best motorcycle communities/resources on lemmy?

    So far I found that l/motorcycles is the biggest and most active on lemmy.world, is there any other that my search couldn't find?

    A feature that seems missing from all lemmy apps is a way to browse instances I’m not signed. Say I’m at lemmy.ml and find a post I like from lemmy.world. I’d like to see what else lemmy.world has to offer, so listing the communities there would be awesome.

    To me that’s the worst part of the fediverse, not being able to browser neighbors communities. This feature would bridge this gap and make using the fediverse more pleasurable.
