Lemmy: very human to use.

This is why I decided not to host an instance in the end. Where I live, the laws are such that the hoster is responsible for the content hosted on their servers So if some shitbag posts CP that gets synced to my server and the authorities somehow find out, it would seriously fuck up my life.

For personal computing, sure. For enterprise environment, eh not really.

I didn’t know that actually. They can still deduce your actual email address from that, but for the identification of the culprit that would work as well.

That’s how I used it initially as well, but chose to get a subdomain to identify shops and services that had data breaches/leaks, pass on the email to other shops and services, etc.

And then I can just block that mask.

For e-mails, you can just get firefox relay with your own subdomain and generate infinite e-mail masks for 1$ a month. I usually take “nameofshop@mysubdomain.mozmail.com” for example. It’s pretty great because you just make the masks on the fly.

I have had to contact the vmware enterprise support several times and while it was tedious to do so, they always managed to help us out, including when we had datastore locked vhd’s after a storage crash.

NewPipe stopped working for me some time ago, switched over to rvx which seems to work fine.

Those 'taters ain’t gonna count themselves!

Depends a bit where you live, but my guess is on average € 45-50k, with whatever local benefits there are. Which translates to between 3 and 4k a month, depending on whether a 14th month is included. But this can be a lot higher or lower depending on the location.

He does a years worth of updates in like 3 or 4 weeks and then takes off for like 6 months. For me that’s acceptable. When he does get around to it, he pushes updates like the Flash on speed and fixes nearly all flagged issues in addition to adding new features that have been requested.

It’s stated in the synopsis, below where it says you need to pay for the article. Anyway, it might be true as the hosting servers themselves often host up to hundreds of Windows machines. But it really depends on what is measured and the method used, which we don’t know because who the hell has a statista account anyway.

Marginal? You must be joking. A vast amount of servers run on Windows Server. Where I work alone we have several hundred and many companies have a similar setup. Statista put the Windows Server OS market share over 70% in 2019. While I find it hard to believe it would be that high, it does clearly indicate it’s most certainly not a marginal percentage.

Feel free to start a competitive game store. There’s a reason why gog, origin or epic hardly make a dent on Valves bottom line.

Wait, Wiz Khalifa is a dude? I always thought it was a woman…

I never had issues with Amazon support. To be fair, the last time I needed support was over 4 years ago, but still. I got to chat with some real person relatively quickly who managed to address the issue swiftly.

Volkswagens EV platform is a mess because the CEO responsible for the pivot to EV within VW, was only allowed to implement it if he stopped being the CEO. So the next guy half assed the 80B$ pivot to EV, leading to VW being one of the worst performers amongst EV producing OEMs.

So now they are on the market to buy whatever is needed to get them out of the hot mess they created themselves.

I used to like mac OS when I used it on a macbook as a daily driver, years ago (haven’t owned a mac in a decade now). But recently I helped my mom set up a new macbook and I found it unwield.

I’m also with you on the Ubuntu and gnome front, although a buddy of mine swears with it. I just don’t like it. Not sure why, I have tried to work with Ubuntu + GNOME several times and I always end up switching to a different build.

This law, if it were to pass, is 100% guaranteed to be shot down by the European courts for invasion of privacy.
