Technology@lemmy.zip•UK's antitrust enforcer sounds the alarm over Big Tech's grip on GenAIEnglish
1·2 years agoSounds great right?
What Goldman does, others do.
What happens when everyone reduces their new grad hires by 25%?

1·2 years agoThe finance industry be shaking in their boots. They know when the machines take over labour, they screwed.
Suicide is more like not turning up to the exam and taking it later.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft won't update your Windows 11 PC if it has these appsEnglish
2·2 years agoProbably a good starting place would be to take the three apps you need most, and just search the web for guides to running them on Linux. That’ll give you an indication of how much work you might/not be in for.
e: also if a guide says “just run this shell script” even chance it’s not just that simple.
Yeah, that’s why it’s the chaotic neutral solution… We would need to organise food, water, comms and energy supplies almost immediately. We’d to have to work together, and that is chaotic.
I think a fun way to protest would be to stop the economy. Just all simultaneously stop working and spending, stay home and spend time with our families.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Firefox Getting Translate Selected Text Feature, Here's How to Try It
74·2 years agoOnly their word until someone does it with a sniffer. E: I suppose, or looks the source but someone answered better now.
Note: Unlike other browsers that rely on cloud services, Firefox keeps your data safe on your device. There’s no privacy risk of sending text to third parties for analysis because translation happens on your device, not externally.

21·2 years agoIf they’re games, protondb (.com) will tell you how well you can expect them to run. Other stuff, it’s often a case of search the web or try and see. Wine takes some getting used to, you’ll probably have to get your hands dirty and do a little learning.

Games@sh.itjust.works•Ten years later, Facebook's Oculus acquisition hasn't changed the world as expectedEnglish
182·2 years agoIt’s just not ready yet. Vr in general is too awkward, inconvenient and expensive. The stuff that’s available now can be a lot of fun, but it’s a long way from where it needs to be, to “change the world”. And yeah, I wouldn’t want it for free since the acquisition.
It’s owned by money, not people. I left with apis and 3rd party apps. Glad I did, quality has taken a real noise dive. Now I just read from old. If there’s a reason, without logging in.

Nostalgia@lemmy.ca•The year is 2001, what CD are you playing on your Walkman?
2·2 years agoYeah, sometimes even whole albums need to be together. Or groups of songs. The convenience we have today is amazing.
Old and new can mix surprisingly well.

Nostalgia@lemmy.ca•The year is 2001, what CD are you playing on your Walkman?
4·2 years agoI had burned cds with different songs, a lot of pearl jam and nirvana, more tool though. Older stuff too like pink floyd, led zep, bowie, etc. Carried around about a dozen.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Windows 10 is the last version of WindowsEnglish
7·2 years agoIn that way I’m like a professional cook that spent all day cooking for others, so when they get home they just don’t have the energy to put all that effort into themselves.
Funny that, I’m a Linux admin. I actually run my own servers for everything. I’m a firm believer in whoever owns the hardware owns the data. It’s just like work but with tools that I like. I like knowing where it is, and it’s not going to end the world if it’s offline for a time.
I did windows admin for about 5 years though up to 2008r2, and I have to say I do like AD and ntfs ACLs (except when they break). Those times do contribute to my aversion.
I too know a thing or two about developing, back in the day I did C, pascal, C++. I remember how much easier delphi was than mfc. I got out of developing when they started dumbing down the tools further (why didn’t you die, java… C#, etc.) Electron can’t die in a dumpster fire fast enough.
Don’t start me on teams. I’d say the same for o365 though. Hard to believe these products make me want work to go back to lotus notes, domino, sametime…

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Windows 10 is the last version of WindowsEnglish
291·2 years agoThat’s really the biggest problem I think Linux has, unfortunately it’s also one of Linux’s best features - it’s not a uniform experience. Yours won’t be the same as mine, etc.
Some things that should be simple aren’t, and sometimes getting things going can be frustrating, and you will without question at some point have to troubleshoot and fix something.
I’m fortunate that I have a lot of background and experience in the industry, and I can understand people don’t want to go to that trouble, just like people don’t want to learn to cook.
Most things in Linux I find these days do plug and play to some degree, but there is absolutely missing effort and/or openness from the hardware vendors. Like not being able to configure macro keys/extra mouse buttons without a windows vm.
Having said that, I found the way windows was going, adding crap into the os that I don’t want, and constantly changing where settings are etc. Changing my defaults, and so on. There’s just too much I don’t like about the way it’s managed. Also, winsecure.


Have you tried writing to them? This helped my partner and I. Tell them how you feel, your worries, what you want and why. Give them as much time as they need to process it and respond.
