Technology@lemmy.world•Reddit is profitable for the first time ever, with nearly 100 million daily usersEnglish
3·2 years agoWell and behind it is stealing other peoples’ work (posts and comments, moderation and administration) and selling them as yours. The oldest capitalist criminal trick in the book: privatization AKA primitive accumulation AKA enclosure of the commons.
Those sociopaths burning the planet and pumping out all the water are completely out of touch with reality. They would rather destroy the planet for some Annoying Idiocy .

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft just paused Windows 11 24H2 update for many PCs due to crashes and freezesEnglish
181·2 years agoCrashing is the smallest problem. All that sypware, ads and artificial idiocy they are embedding in the bloated excuse of an OS is way worse than any crash. I am so glad I switched to GNU/Linux (openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma desktop, after seeing how well gaming works on Steam Deck I also switched to GNU/Linux for gaming) and it is so so much nicer to have an OS that is fast, stable and actually respects basic human rights like privacy and freedom.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google creating an AI agent to use your PC on your behalf, says report | Same PR nightmare as Windows RecallEnglish
35·2 years agoThese GAFAM/BigTech corporations really are in a tough and fierce competition of which one is the shittiest and most privacy-invading don’t they. Ensittification overdrive mode in all of them.
It takes one to know one. Not much difference, if any, between Microsoft nad Google, and the rest of GAFAM/BigTech.

Technology@lemmy.world•Ubuntu turns 20: 'Oracular Oriole' shows this old bird's still got plenty of flightEnglish
84·2 years agoBetter to use Kubuntu edition, much better desktop and less crap that is nowdays in Ubuntu.
I hope not. Had very bad experience with these and toxicity they enabled on Xitter and one of the main reasons why I left it for mastodon quite early. I would much more like to see if they focused on making it possible to also migrate posts when you change an instance/server.
GNU/Linux only, with KDE Plasma for desktop as possible. Using it on work laptop (Kubuntu), home laptop (openSUSE Tumbleweed), PC (openSUSE Tumbleweed, also used for gaming), Steam Deck (Arch-based SteamOS). I don’t use spyware/adware so Windows is out of question for me. Also it is not free as in freedom and opensource.

Linux@programming.dev•[Level1Linux] Is Gaming On The Ryzen 9 9950X Better On Linux Than On Windows?English
0·2 years agoFrom my experince AMD drivers are pretty close, I’d even say slightly better on GNU/Linux, definitely more stable and consistent. For Nvidia, yeah they are bad at supporting GNU/Linux. Improved a lot through the years but still not there. For Intel, well not exactly an option for gaming, at least not the integrated GPUs I have used so far, but still better than in Windows in a similar way as in AMD case.
P.S. Another great thing with libre/opensource GNU/Linux drivers: When you report a bug with Mesa3D drivers the bug is quite quickly fixed, especially when you can provide them with backtrace and/or Vulkan/OpenGL API trace. Doing a bisect of source code commits amd identifying the commit that introduced a regression also help a great deal. Good luck doing the same with closed/Windows drivers: you can wait for years and no fix.
