That’s ridiculous…

It’s the OS killing apps.

Are you /s or you didn’t read my post?

Why worse? It’s not a better or worse race.

SW Compatibility? Windows wins hands down. Try run decade (even years) old binaries on Linux, good luck.

Security and privacy? Well🤣… Maybe here Linux wins by a small tad /s.

And so on.

Microsoft focus is on different aspects than Linux, like monetization, lock in, business apps like office, store apps, and who knows what other crap. Linux efforts are usually focused on what is actually needed for a better quality of usage.

On the long run Linux is doomed to success, because Microsoft like all companies will die one day. Linux will never die because it cannot be killed …

And yet is seems in 2026 with 8gb ram apps closes like multitasking is something of a other universe …

Depends. Cars can be impounded, wages garnished, other property taken and resold

Depend on your state, area, laws and such.

No for several reasons

First of all, office is written in a codebase as old as windows XP itself and it’s impossible to port to anything. Wine is a thing, but that would always be a second class port and not on par with native office

Second, any effort seems to go toward the online office version, and I am pretty sure online only office 365 will be a reality one day, so Microsoft would not waste resources in a port to linux natively.

And last, user base would not justify the business case. Interest for existing Linux users would be pretty small (libre/open offices do exist, natively for Linux, and are of excellent quality today) and an official office for Linux would not cause business users to migrate over anyway.

What’s the problem with jury duty?

In my country that doesn’t exist, so I don’t understand why it’s a problem to be summoned to do it, it seems something good to do, not flew from it

Beside probably typo in the title (too?) I really have no idea what you are talking about

Cheese, a gallery of image of cheese

I believe it is a true story…

There is also a commercial reason. By selling 110v or 220v appliances with different plugs, it used to be difficult or not viable to mass produce stuff on the us to sell over In Europe or vice versa.

Same for pal and NTSC formats. Main reason was producers lock in.

And of course all the other reasons others already mentioned.

Yes and a bulging battery is a fire hazzard. Need to remember to check every year or so and replace if bulging. Annoying.

You can also run without battery. Batteries will bulge over time when plugged 24/7 and that’s a fire Hazzard

Degoogling a tv stick is probably the best option.

PC (laptop or minis) use more power and has less apps, and that could be a WAF issue…

In my childhood, from 5 to 15, o used to live in one of the most degraded part of my city (1mln people, southern Europe). Drug dealing and sex workers where common and widespread s well as clients. Maybe no actual “cartels” tbh.

Well, the area was very safe and in control, actually the drug dealers kept the situation under control because they didn’t want police to mess around.

Years later the area was cleared out and and started to become the Hotpoint of night life (pubs, cheap alcohol holes and such) and people flocked from every other part of town from 23:00 to 5:00. That’s when it started being unlivable because you would fine your car hit or pissed on, high music and loud voices all night long and drunk people around, broken glasses and bottles in the morning…

So, I missed the dealers. And I moved after a few years of that hell. (The night time life, I mean)

Edit: the fun part? The middle class people who called for removing the drugs and sex, people living in the area I mean, started moving out after the night love started. And house value fell (wasnt too high to begin with, ok) because the only kind of business you can start afterward in the area where pubs and cheap alcohol places and sleeping at night was not an option anymore.

Definitely a streaming box.

Old laptops have issues with bulging batteries.

Also, the Android tv ecosystem is much better on arm than on PC

I didn’t say there are none… But LESS than reddit I think it’s a safe guess.

Yes there is much less activity than reddit. Yes there are much less bots than reddit.

And yes, you must take time and care to interact more than in reddit, if you want Lemmy / fediverse su succeed.

And yes, on the long run the fediverse will superseed all other corporate owned social media just because.

So, don’t complain and be part of it! :)

I don’t see the problem. Which caldav server are you using? Which caldav app? Android? PC?

It’s a bit vague.

Yes you are right, but I think a good answer to op question had to consider that zero tolerance at the driving seat is the correct answer, and my take is not on saving the children, as other stated, but that on a dangerous substance there cannot be a itching other than zero tolerance on drunk driving.

Let’s say a different take.
