Today I got this POP-UP, anyone?
The package name is correct, but signal was never on F-droid.
Do you have a third party repo that might be compromised?
Edit: Package name isn't correct, so that's almost definitely a compromised version. Get rid of it ASAP.

Windows: we noticed that you kept the useless search bar disabled since 2015, so we sent an update that re-enabled it without your permission
Classic microsoft move.
Linux has gotten great over the years and keeps improving while windows gets worse and worse every day. This has been going on for many years now.
I switched already and suggest you give it a shot as well. It's honestly much easier than windows if you know the basics and understand how things are done there.

Guten Tag Everybody
ich_iel is the worst place to learn german, the running gag is to translate stuff from english literally while actively ignoring the context.

Whats a hobby/craft that you wouldn't expect that has an incredibly high ceiling either monetarily or in sheer skill?
Keyboards are generally known about, but the ergo part of it is a rabbit hole within the rabbit hole. Some people literally design, 3D print, wire up, solder and program one-off keyboards because they don't like the ones made by other people.

Isn't the web version a full client that works without a phone nearby nowadays?

Are we committed to Lemmy? or would we move if something better comes along?
A lot of people switched to lemmy recently, so the development focus is on scaling for now. It'll probably take a while until that's sorted out properly and the devs can focus on accessibility.
I think lemmy is a good place for this community because we don't need to worry about big platforms overmoderating.

Mastodon's official stance on Threads

This article sums it up very well: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html
A monopolistic corporation joining a free (not gratis, free as in free software) network is always a hostile takeover.

Most of us hate Microsoft, and yet many of us use VSCode
Reply in thread
VScode is the epitome of the EEE strategy. The core product is open-source, but it's filled to the brim with tracking and the official extensions have DRM. Yes, there's DRM on your python LSP.
Anyone who gives a shit should look for alternatives right away. The problem is just that there aren't any that are as easy to set up.

...Then you select it, and the Captcha fails.
I still don't know whether you're supposed to hit those and I also don't know if it's normal to get two challenges or if that just means I did the first one wrong.

Proprietary nvidia driving well?
I'm currently considering buying an AMD GPU just so that I don't constantly have to troubleshoot the nvidia driver when I want to game.

Tor Browser Bundle on Windows 11 Flagged as malware today
Classic Microsoft. They regularly use defender to harrass users of software they don't like.

Why is it so common for people here to not have a profile pic?
Because we have a name already and aren't looking to share any personal info.

Leaks confirm low takeup for Windows 11
There is nothing about windows 11 that's better than on windows 10. Why would anyone switch voluntarily?
Windows 10 at least had better automatic driver installation, touchscreen and multi-monitor support compared to 7, but came with a shitload of ads built right into it. Windows 11 has even more ads, but what does it give you?

They already have plans to DRM the entire fucking web. That's why I am currently cutting google out of my life step by step.

A 10+ year old meme comparing the Xbox One to a brick. Which of the two did you invest in?
We're lucky to have valve. They actually managed to make a console without the downsides of a console.
My OLED deck has arrived today, can't wait to use it.

Rant about Nvidia related updates on Linux
And in addition to that, it's the only thing that breaks on my system that isn't my fault.
My next GPU will definitely be AMD unless Intel catches up very quickly.

They weren't banned, they just preemptively pulled out because they knew they couldn't pull this shit in europe.
