  • It’s funny everyone is suddenly getting banned.

    I was on Reddit for at least 10 years. Made a new account, kept arguing against racists

    Got banned for racism, obviously by the Nazis. Never got banned in the last 2 decades. And pretty sure none of the racists got banned

    But it’s no surprise lemmy isn’t as big. That’s not a bad thing. Reddit is overrun by the same lobbyists and people who have ruined Facebook and made it no longer fun








  • Don’t compile it in then…

    It’s literally that simple… but yeah, it is sync, you are correct

    We could debate the advantage and disadvantages of a lot of things in the main kernel. There’s so much stuff in there that only benefits certain limited applications, and we could make the argument for userspace for almost everything, including a lot of filesystem drivers

    Like it or not, wine and gaming is probably the biggest avenue where Linux is winning on the desktop at the moment (especially thanks to steam). We shouldn’t ignore it

    I’ve been using Linux for at least 20+ years now. And seen a lot of stuff come and go.

    A lot of distros are shipping with ntsync anyway, and, it’s something that will definitely get maintained







  • I used to sell them.

    The reality is, Apple Succeeded by lying about their stability, people thought they couldn’t get viruses, and people wiling to overlook their f***-ups.

    Here in Australia, a week before Boot camp was released, i actually showed a national sales manager how we got Windows running on a Mac mini, and told him how it would be a great transition technology. He basically tried to make me look like an idiot in front of customers in our showroom.

    A week later, boot camp was released. The same guy returned, and was repeating all the same arguments I made a week ago, and was proud of them, acting like Apple’s was brilliant. I got no apology. I should have called him out at the time, burnt my bridges and demanded an apology.

    The things Microsoft and Google did are honestly less bad than honestly. Apple blatantly lied about a lot of things, stood on stage and pretended like they had full rights to multitouch, and they had invented it.

    In fact, Microsoft bailed out Apple in 1997, and the moment they started recovering, they treated Microsoft like crap





  • Lol.

    Are these guys going to strike on iOS too?

    I’m sure this strike will be super effective at self sabotage

    The big issue is that Android play store and iOS is a monopoly

    A strike won’t fix that. What is really needed is a tier 1 phone with another app store which pays developers better, is easy to port to and is an alternative option . There is very little incentive for users to use a store that might not exist in 5 years and a strike of 100 devs won’t fix that.

    Google will always maintain control over Android. The solution imho is to try to get sailfish ported to the latest phones. Or even a framework like phone (like one of the manufacturers planned years ago but never released)
