Or is this some sort of fake launch that is meant to capitalize on lack of memory and SSDs?

World News@lemmy.world•'She is going to pay a very big price': Trump issues new threat to interim leader of VenezuelaEnglish
11·3 months agoHyperNormalisation has its flaws (too big of a focus on a single “theory of everything”) and an argument can be made that it emphasizes style over substance, but it’s a great experience. Even if I disagree with some of the structural arguments of HyperNormalisation, it does raise a lot of good points and in a very engaging way.
I would also recommend Bitter Lake from the same director which IMO is a more intense experience.

Linux@lemmy.world•DistroWatch - The best open source operating systems of 2025English
2·4 months agoI use a Debian stable ARM distro called DietPi; it’s perfect for aow touch DIY NAS/media server/Pi-Hole.
You get all the stability and predictability of Debian with a nice set of ClI tools and configuration utilities from DietPi team.
I’ve been using them for 8 years (been donating too), other than an issue with a major Debian upgrade, I’ve had no issues.

7·4 months agoA lot of the “less active ones” are completely dead. Many mid-tier topics (not niche, but not “meme shitpost”) have a sea of dead communities and 1-2 active ones and it’s difficult to find them without actually clicking through the full list of results.

Also funny how every instance seems to have furry/anime motifs. Nothing wrong with that, I am a big fan of some 80s/90s and early 2000s anime, just thought it’s funny. :)

Technology@lemmy.world•How can we get more of the population into the Fediverse? Tech literacy?English
4·4 months ago- Better on-boarding - For non-technically inclined users, Fedi can be challenging. I personally strongly oppose the “join by selecting instance” type sites. There should be an algorithm automatically signing up users based on region, refer header and perhaps some sort of random selection
- With respect to Threadi, when a user is logged in, all links to instance/communities should automatically be transformed to the “view via your instance format” (!technology@lemmy.world).
- Movement to Piefed (I am aware I am posting from a Lemmy account, this one is used for managing !hardware@lemmy.world, I used Piefed) - tankies are a major turn off for people across the globe and across the political spectrum.
- Target users who are recognize the severe dangerous of US oligarchy. More and more people are recognizing that the American model is a dead end.
- Target open source communities. I don’t understand why r/linux or r/BSD are not making a move to directing users towards Threadi
And most importantly: post, comment, upvote.
Note, I am doing some of these thing when I can.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 update improves and breaks dark modeEnglish
36·4 months agoThe corrupt oligopolists have completely given up on QA; why would they bother when they don’t feel any real competitive pressure.
AFAIK, this has been happening as far back as Windows 8. I believe they had a giant pool of physical PCs (laptops, pre-builts and various popular component combinations for desktop) that they physically tested updates on, but they scrapped all of it because they know they don’t need to worry about competition.

Technology@lemmy.world•Preloading File Explorer in Windows 11 Doubles RAM Usage, Offers Minimal Speed BoostEnglish
68·4 months agoThis is one area where I will agree with MS. 32 MB extra RAM consumption is worth it for even a moderate speed boost.
That being said, the vast majority of modern applications run like shit. You have electron apps which are comically terrible in their performance metrics, but even beyond that you often have apps takeing up 100s of MBs and eating up a stupid amount of RAM considering what they do.

4·4 months agoYou support continued internment of Ukrainians in the occupied territories, abuse of Ukrainian children and russian genocidal imperialism.
The “don’t care about lines on the map” statement is not believable coming from someone who repeats putin’s statements about “Watzis in Ukraine!1!1”.
Why would I need to remind you about something you already know and have taken to heart? Good to see progress on this issue! One day you might even remember your ghoulish “leftist” online roleplay with a profound sense of shame and disgust. Stranger things have happened in life…

4·4 months agoSure you were! It’s not like tankies aren’t known to lie about Cuba being a democracy or NK being a “vanguard against imperialism”. No ma’am!
Someone claiming to have family in Ukraine supports neither Ukraine or russia. That’s very realistic! Or wait, I know, you support the DNR not russia ;), got you tankie!

Fediverse@lemmy.world•It's been a while, which Lemmy instances should I be on?English
5·4 months agoYes, pushing russian narratives about Ukraine is supporting putin.
You’ve never lived in Ukraine (Donbas or otherwise) or even russia and the whole “Nazis in Ukraine” pitch is just cover for your disgusting commie belief in the extermination of undesirable ethnicities (who in your view don’t submit to your messed up understanding communism).
You think Ukrainians don’t have a right to self determination and you have the gall to say you oppose the war?
Don’t play with dumb with me tankie!

5·4 months agoI don’t support Ukraine
Thank you for proving my point (once again) about tankies supporting extermination of Ukrainian culture/identity/language and continued internment of tens of thousands of Ukrainians in the occupied territories (and mass discrimination and prosecution).
You even openly admit that you support putin’s “de-nazifiction of Ukraine” rhetoric.
You most definitely do not “oppose the war entirely”. Rejection of self determination for Ukrainians (and the right to speak in Ukrainian) is support for the russian invasion of Ukraine.
