Question: Isn’t what you describe in the first paragraph the very definition of a meme?

I push my fingers into your…

Seems like a cheap excuse, the law doesn’t say specifically that.

But, of course, manufacturers like to lock down their devices as much as possible. And such laws play into their hands.

You are optimistic. When the US supremacy and economy collapses, it will take the rest of the world with it, I’m afraid. At least The West™, but every country will feel it.

Since when is this the case?

I thought it was one of the original peepys at first.

Kannste machen, aber zumindest hat Google Trump noch keinen Goldbarren geschenkt, meines Wissens nach.

Es gibt noch weitere Alternativen: Gebrauchtes Gerät mit LineageOS und F-Droid oder z.B. ein Fairphone mit /e/OS.

What’s this from?

Real talk now, I know there are use-cases where Windows is mandatory unfortunately. Video editing and civil engineering/architecture are two good examples.

Maybe switching to Mac is an option, but whether that’s any better is debatable.

However, most people I know that suffer from these issues are in neither field of work and aren’t necessarily even hardcore gamers. Yet they don’t even want to try anything else.

I’ve also had some difficulties fully switching to Linux a decade ago, but nothing that couldn’t be solved or I couldn’t abstain from (e.g. modern games, back in the day).

All it takes is the will not to be bullied by a corporation at home every day.

Oh, now I understand. They were just missing a comma between “off” and “lemmy”, super sweet! :)

Technically, the title doesn’t say “first”, but yeah, kind of. :)

Super anecdotal, but I’ve seen a few instances of those in my time as sysadmin.

Whether it was just failed or malfunctioning updates, I can’t tell, but I’ve had to deal with Windows not starting correctly after automatic updates multiple times.

Then there was the whole bricked HP laptop story recently, where automatic updates just randomly killed a lot of systems. We have multiple HP laptops in the company, though none were affected, but I can’t say I wasn’t sweating a little bit those days.

Same here actually, I first saw those photos in a recent post a few days ago, just can’t remember which one, though.

It is truly a work of art.

You feel like… a Night Lord?
