Or Windows just works on so much different hardware. You can build a PC with the weirdest mix and match of hardware, and Windows will just… work. Also I bought a Microsoft sidewinder wheel from 1998 from a thrift store for $8, plugged it into my Windows 10 PC, and it just worked. Nothing special was needed. 1998 hardware literally plug and play on Windows 10 (and I’ve tested it on 11, and it works the same).

You can install MacOS on non-Apple hardware, but you need to buy very specific hardware, and download very specific hacks, to make it work.

Even Linux only works on specific hardware. This entire thread has people talking about how broken Linux is on their setups. The suggestions are to buy specific hardware and run very specific versions of Linux.

Can’t wait for Linux to be mainstream in 2085!

The CEO of the company behind Ark has to be smoking crack. Nothing they do makes sense.

Don’t forget they paid who knows how much to get Vin Diesel in Ark 2. Like that’s exactly what we all wanted. Very good use of money.

YouTube is dead, right, guys?

Going to be honest, I don’t really care that I got rid of my VHS tapes and 480p DVDs.

Cats lucky. If the kid had a powerful one, and didn't hit just the tail, that cat would be dead.

How am I a troll? I literally provided you with software I require that Linux can't run 💀

Wtf you mean send you bills?

My landlord doesn't send me bills. Upon moving in, you're required to call the water/hydro/gas company and put the utilities in your name. No bills get sent to the landlord. They're not my mom.

My landlord went through a realtor. She paid the realtor good money to find tenants and deal with the tenants. The group chat is a way for us, the landlord, and the realtor she hired to stay in the loop together.

You mention phone calls, what year is it? My landlord doesn't call me. That leaves no paper trail, and is annoying. She sends a message via WhatsApp. Not to mention the group chat is for US to also get in touch, if we need something fixed. It's not a one way "slave" machine.

You're very ignorant.

You mean checking 6 different Android communities across 6 different instances just to keep updated on what's going on isn't fun?

You mean seeing the same post on the front page of everything, posted across 30 communities, every damn day isn't fun?

Either Lemmy needs to natively support it, or a third party app, but we need the ability to create multi-communities (like multi subreddits), so I can check all 6 Android communities in 1 tap.

We also need the ability to consolidate all of the same links/titles into 1 collapsed post, so we don't have to scroll through the same news stories a million times.

Unpopular answer: you should.

Lemmy is already going downhill since the big surge. Even if you look at sign ups, numbers don't mean better.

The entirety of Lemmy is too FOSS and Linux focused, and even trying to have a normal basic tech discussion about anything you'll find yourself getting hate thrown towards you for not using Linux or FOSS. Lemmy users bully the crap out of Sync and Boost developer for asking for a few bucks to support development.

I'm only here because I got IP banned from Reddit, thinking Lemmy would take off. I don't miss Reddit, but I'm a little sad I ruined my chances of ever being able to go back. Any new account is immediately permabanned.

Even if you stick around, I genuinely don't believe Lemmy will be here by next October. All of these instances will see a decrease in users, decrease in donations, and they'll shut down one by one. Actually, weirdly enough having everyone move to just a couple popular instances might keep Lemmy alive longer, as everything won't be so fragmented.

I'd advise against joining any .zip or .mov instances, as many businesses ban those TLDs for security reasons.

I even have them banned at home so my girlfriend who works from home sometimes doesn't get tricked.

The one where I need a place to rent, and the real estate agent communicates between my landlord and myself via WhatsApp group chat?

Your landlord tells you no smoking in the house and you do it? What parallel reality do you live in?

That's awesome. Sounds like you already had a lease signed. Now try that again when you're one of the 60 others applying to the house.

They'll rip up your lease on the spot for being difficult.

I think that's the worst part. It just looks like an untrustworthy clone that is trying to steal your info.

Seems weird not to build your own identity, especially when torrents aren't always safe.

I don't forget what it's like to be 15, because I had a great childhood, but I also grew up and started doing crazy things like moving out, renting a home, etc, and if your landlord requires you to download WhatsApp, or any other app to communicate, you do it. Otherwise you'll find yourself on the street, messaging yourself on Signal lmao.

Not if you have friends.

Do you call everyone a troll that isn't a Linux fanboy like you?

Then buy it, or come back later.

Why open yourself up to all the nasty of public WiFi for that?

Either you're buying something cheap, so just do it. Or it's something expensive, and in that case a simple quick message isn't really enough. Go out to the parking lot and talk about it, or come back later.

Why would anyone interested in privacy connect to any public WiFi? That's crazy.
