Lmao, when?

Everyone should be engaged in a union.

tell them you’re sorry about it, but that you’re grateful that you have the flexibility to do so

What are they supposed to be sorry about?

If you have a USB stick you could just boot up a live CD of the operating system.

Even this can depend a lot. I’ve some friends that play that Marvel game (Rivals?) and it works great on Linux. I myself have played Monhan and Warframe a lot on Linux. I’m not much of a competitive player, and I think where you might run into problems is competitive live-service titles.

Guild Wars and Final Fantasy XIV are both multiplayer games and work flawlessly for me.

Some games might require some fiddling you might not have on Windows, but it’s not that bad.

Even VR is pretty plug and play, though I’ve not bothered with FBT yet, and I think it differs a lot depending on what headset you have.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. AMD CPU with NVidia graphics.

This is a shitty April 1st joke.

Was listening to my go-to podcast during morning walkies with my dog. They brought up an example where some couple was using ShatGPT as a couple’s therapist, and what a great idea that was. Talking about how one of the podcasters has more of a friend like relationship to “their” GPT.

I usually find this podcast quite entertaining, but this just got me depressed.

ChatGPT is by the same company that stole Scarlett Johansson’s voice. The same vein of companies that thinks it’s perfectly okay to pirate 81 terabytes of books, despite definitely being able to afford paying the authors. I don’t see a reality where it’s ethical or indicative of good judgement to trust a product from any of these companies with information.

I definitely get it. I remember reading Mozilla’s blasé attitude towards them years ago, with them justifying not supporting PWAs because no one uses them, and thinking that obviously no one will use them if you don’t make Firefox a good alternative for using them!

The customer my company works towards have chosen to move a lot of their operations to PWAs because they’re so versatile and can be easily integrated to all the systems they need to run them on. We target phones, tablets, heavy machinery, and desktops.

Originally when the iPhone launched the entire idea was to not have apps, but use PWAs. That was maybe a bit early since PWAs weren’t that mature yet, but with modern web platform technologies you can do a lot with PWAs, so I think if that sort of concept was launched today it’d do better.

Thank you. I work on (as in develop) PWAs on a daily basis, so none of this is new to me. I think my sarcasm just didn’t quite hit the mark. I appreciate you standing up for PWAs. 💖

Yeah, I thought that calling Facebook approved advertising “useful” would make it obvious.

I feel like I see a lot of fresh faces on Lemmy. It’s nice!

Because it’s low effort.

Less time and money spent on useless features like progressive web apps means more time can be spent on useful features like data harvesting, AI bullshit, and Facebook-approved advertising.

Yeah. I search for things all the time. Thousands of searches each month. I thought I’d miss it a lot, but I’ve not used Google for two years or so and it’s not really a problem.

Google is mostly adverts. Wouldn’t take much to be better than that.

Not exactly in my language, but Lipton used to have an advert for their ice tea “Limone” in Japan. A lady sing a jingle, and in the middle of it she’d exclaim 「おいちい」, meaning “delicious.” However, 「ちい」could also be interpreted as the English word tea. Thus an appropriate translation of the pun would be “tealicious.”

Did a quick search and found the advert in question.

Oh my gods, the mess that is Teams. When I first started working at my current company I was kind of excited because all of the software just works together. It felt novel, and I was enchanted by it. That quickly died when I realised that it makes finding anything a nightmare. There’s a billion different tabs and solutions for every single individual thing, and even multiple things within the same project. I think the main project I work on has like fifteen different test documents, and good luck trying to find the documentation for pushing stuff live! The only real way to find things is to ask someone who knows. There’s half a billion different search bars and finding the right one is just way too time consuming.

Yeah, forums please. I hate the idea of troubleshooting information being locked behind some stupid software we can’t easily index and search. Forums can be put on archive.org, you can literally print a page, or save it as a PDF for reviewing later. You can make use of bookmark software like Linkwarden to archive things.

Discord? Not so much. You can use third party software to scrape it and save information, but no search engine can index it. Community building is great, but I loathe having to trawl through tonnes of blithering blathering conversation BS just to figure out where to find firmware for a particular chip I have is.

Makes me want to projectile vomit all over the place, throw my computer out the window, and move to convent.

Depending on what you aim to do, Matrix works well enough. Reminds me a lot of Discord back in 2017 or so.

That should be preventing dark mode out of the box. Is it not?

You could use LibreWolf.
