Dammit, I was a day late on making this joke. Filthy Bagginses.

You know damn well how ridiculous that sounds. And if this is the answer to removing Copilot, no thanks. Linux works perfectly fine for me and my gaming needs.

Updates his Garuda Linux OS

Ahhh, the sweet sound of not being a piece of crap operating system.

No thanks.

Kids will realize some day what garbage Roblox actually is. And then the ride will be over.

Anyone with a modicum of intelligence should leave Twitter. It is a cesspool of degenerates now. Best to let it fester and die.

Linux (currently Garuda Linux). I can do everything I want on it, including playing all the games I want.

And with the Windows Recall debacle (and make no mistake, it’s not at all gone, it’ll just exist in some different form or name), I am ridding my house of Windows.

Good news! I already did, the day the moron Musk took over.

Sorry to hear it :(

but switching to Linux for nearly any business isn’t realistic

Not with that attitude.

I would happily do so! :)

Easy solution – don’t use Windows.

I’m one of those users :)

I was okay with them getting Blizzard because, well, how much worse could Blizzard actually get with the merger?

But this? I sincerely hope this never happens. Valve isn’t the complete shit-show that Blizzard has been. Valve actually understands its customers and seemingly, mostly, respects them. Please for all things good in this universe, keep it that way.

So basically don’t be stupid when on a network you don’t control. I mean I would think that would be common sense by now. Just because you’re on a VPN doesn’t mean that the local network doesn’t have some semblance of capabilities.

And maybe I read it wrong, but perhaps don’t use DHCP on a network you don’t control. Wouldn’t that wholly mitigate this?

I get that this is concerning for people who don’t know any better. But I don’t think it’s as devastating as the title makes it sound.

Well I guess I’m done with SO now.

Ah, Lunduke. No thanks.

Glad I dumped Windows in favor of an OS that doesn’t suck.

I’ll grab the popcorn while I watch the dumpster fire of what Microsoft is doing to Windows, from the comfort of my Linux-running system.

Obligatory BTW I use Arch.

Yet it’s worse than fascism. It’s oligarchy + fascism. People have money tied to it which leads them to double down on all of it.

These workers were fired simply because it could hurt the stock price. And since the US has subpar labor laws, and half the voting populace who seem quite happy with fascism, the country is quite screwed.

Pretty sure they’re referring to “poof” which is a derogatory term for a gay man in British vernacular. In any case, the context in which it was used clearly wasn’t intended as the derogatory term, rather to mean “suddenly”.

Mozilla Firefox 124 Is Now Available for Download, Here’s What’s New

This release updates the Caret Browsing mode to also work in the PDF viewer and adds support for the Screen Wake Lock API.

by Marius Nestor March 18, 2024

The Mozilla Firefox 124 open-source and cross-platform web browser is now available for download ahead of its official unveiling on March 19th, 2024, so it’s time to take a closer look at the new features and improvements.

Mozilla Firefox 124 looks like a small update that only updates the Caret Browsing mode to also work in the PDF viewer and adds support for the Screen Wake Lock API to prevent devices from dimming or locking the screen when an application needs to keep running.

This release also adds support for using HTTP(S) and relative URLs when creating WebSockets, as well as support for the AbortSignal: any() static method, which takes an iterable of abort signals and returns an AbortSignal (more details are available here).

For Android users, Firefox 124 enables the Pull to Refresh feature, which is now more robust than ever, by default and adds support for the HTML drag and drop API when using a mouse, which accepts plain text or HTML text by the drop operation from external apps.

For macOS users, this release uses the fullscreen API for all types of full-screen windows, promising a better match to the expected macOS user experience for full-screen spaces, the Menubar, and the Dock. If you want to disable this feature, you’ll need to set the full-screen-api.macos-native-full-screen preference to false in about:config.

During public beta testing, Firefox 124 also offered the long-awaited Cookie Banner Blocker feature that instructs Firefox to automatically refuse cookie banners for you and the Quick Actions feature that lets you quickly perform various actions from the address bar. However, these features were available up until the sixth beta version and they aren’t present in the final release.

As mentioned before, Mozilla will officially announce the Firefox 124 release tomorrow, March 19th, 2024. Until then, you can download the official DEB package for Ubuntu/Debian distros or tarball binary from Mozilla’s download server.

I so want to see Reddit die. I browsed the site for the first time in 2007. I adored it. Now it is nothing but a cesspool of morons trying to find an echo chamber for their idiocy, led by king of the morons, Spez.

It’s time for better competition in this space and the Fediverse is one step toward that goal.

An increase of only 49%. Time to fire a couple thousand more people.

Sadly I’ve found a few of those on Lemmy already. What I’d prefer is the internet of the 1990s when it took effort to figure out and the masses were too lazy or dumb to do so.

And that sweet, sweet dialup modem sound.

Would love to see this become the fastest IPO to tank.

It’s not. I don’t think it’s particularly useful to market a product with that information, but it’s not a terrible thing that some people used to work elsewhere. And reading any more into it than that is just a form a bias.

Good.

Oh look…another feature no one asked for from a company no one cares about anymore.

So tired of seeing that logo and articles about the shitshow that moron turned the company into.

I guess idiots can have plans, even if it’s wasting billions of dollars to get rid of “wokeness”.

Good.

Couldn’t hurt, probably. Good luck to you, hope it can be fixed and with little to no cost.

Verified, I have an original Switch model.

I updated to 17.0.0 just fine. So either you have run out of battery or perhaps it bricked because it had very low power when you updated it. These are just guesses and certainly nowhere near helping with a solution.

Contact Nintendo? I haven’t checked mine, and I have an OG Switch as well (I believe). It would surprise me if you get more traction here than contacting Nintendo.

This does have me wondering what the warranty terms are concerning updates like this.

And there’s nothing wrong with this. While I’d love to see companies develop games that run on all of the main three OSes, there is cost involved. And Valve determined that cost to be too high to worry with. This doesn’t mean Macs suck, it just means Macs are not a viable gaming platform for some companies and some games.

Imagine if we saw reason instead of simply adding ourselves to the “Macs suck” bandwagon. What a world that would be – with logic and reason and understanding. Nah, just pissing on things is better.

Millions of developers of numerous technologies use Macs. To say macs won’t have relevance in the future is clearly uninformed. As a gaming platform, sure, Macs leave plenty to be desired, but as development computers, they work extremely well, if overpriced.

Shocker

I mean look on the bright side. It’s Musk’s sycophants who would line up to die for something like this.

And yet when he is inevitably asked to resign, after years of this shit-show, he’ll get yet another golden parachute. Stupidity fails upwards in the United States. And half of this country applaud it.

I think we could have done a lot of things a lot better.

No shit, Sherlock. Not fucking over your client-base, for one. One would think he’s not fit to be CEO of cow shit after this douche was previously in charge of EA during some of the worst years of that company.

There are alternatives to Unity. Time to move on if possible.
