Screen size problems. My PC is setup as gaming/HTPC for the living room.
Constantly having to fight with it reverting from the 1080 I set, to native 4k. Pretty jarring when you’re popping out of a game and expecting a different res.
Other than that my daughter plays Minecraft with her friends and needed windows for that because I’m not purchasing the game a third time.
Finally, to IBM, here’s a big idea for you. You say that you don’t want to pay all those RHEL developers? Here’s how you can save money: just pull from us. Become a downstream distributor of Oracle Linux. We will happily take on the burden.
This isn’t going to be a productive conversation without proof. There is also the point-of-fact that if there was a NDA involved with said person. They wouldn’t be allowed to speak on it with anyone not listed. So we wouldn’t honestly be allowed to know legally without getting that admin in trouble.
Sure, they can approach any admin regarding federation. they still need approval of the Instance owner and the rest of the admin team as far as I’m aware.
I am curious though. Why not just join an instance that has already outright stated they will not federate with Threads?
Oh 100% agreed. It makes the NDA’s that have already occurred with all this even more sketchy.
My personal guess is that these NDA’s are because of one of two reasons.
Threads/Facebook talks about their specific proprietary software and how it functions etc.
Threads/Facebook is offering money for access/federation to instances.
It is entirely possible it’s also both at once thinking about it.
I dislike Facebook with a passion along with Google. However as much as I dislike Facebook, proper discussion and information is essential. Without these things people tend to panic and assume worst case scenarios.
People seem to have forgotten one of Zuckerbergs quotes.
“ Zuck: People just submitted it. Zuck: I don’t know why. Zuck: They “trust me” Zuck: Dumb fucks”
This was during the time he first released Facebook. It’s part of a chat transcript that was released and verified.
Also during 2008 the FTC quoted Zuckerbergs own word at him during a trial.
“It’s better to buy than to compete”
This was from an email Zuckerberg sent earlier that year during the WhatsApp acquisition or near it.
These two quote should tell everyone exactly what to expect from this company and person. Considering how their track record is atrocious.
On iOS the one I’ve come to prefer is Memmy. Tried liftoff and was not a big fan. Kept defaulting to Memmy without thinking.
Will be checking out Wefwef/Voyager as I like to e idea of PWA vs a full app install.
Edit: installed wefwef/Voyager. This is going to be the daily driver from now on. Able to login to every instance (exception being Lemmy.world getting connection errors.) Colors are fantastically readable in dark mode. Still poking. Around but loving it.
Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?
Additionally, what changes are necessary for you to be able to use Linux full time?

What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?
I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too...
A user from lemmy.world claims that one of the admins had a secret meeting with a representative of Meta/Facebook. Original post was removed.
Crossposted this in case of takedown. Hope this isn’t breaking the rules....
What's the best Android/iPhone app for Lemmy?
Sticky so that we have one place to discuss.
