This time around there are hardware requirements. Corporations equipment is not usually the latest hardware, and windows 11 is pushing customers to buy new hardware.

I suppose for many corporations upgrading to windows 11 would also mean upgrading the computer, which is an increase cost.

I can’t wait for massive security problems on corporations once they shut down W10 support and those corporation considering if keeping with windows is woth the risk and the cost anymore.

I feel like I would need to see their accounting books to fully believe that narrative.

The lack of accounting transparency makes all a tale of “trust me I need this money to make this work”.

Genuine question.

How is been running for almost 20 years, most of them with very few ads?

I doubt they had been just sinking money for the kind of their hearts.

I do not know how much it cost to run a service like YouTube. Or how much money they make by ads or other ways. But they have been running for long enough to be a successful business.

And it’s just the latest few years when they are pushing these aggressive techniques.

Finally I don’t need my computer for working, they provided us with company laptops, so I don’t need to worry about compatibility and windows only programs anymore.

So you know what I’m going to do once windows 10 reaches eol.

For my it will certainly be the year of desktop linux.

A million is money but not “controlling the means of production and lobbying politics” kind of money.

I really wish we had a service like this on Europe.

I know they ship to Europe. But shipping costs are prohibitive for small buys.

Reason number #99 to make the switch to linux.

NMS development is the best redemption arc story in a long time.

Is there any mod you know for making the world larger/infinite?

I was a big fan of just traveling in Minecraft and finding new areas along the way. But minetest space constrains seems not to fit that playstyle unless there’s a mod I don’t know of.

I’m Spanish. And really, that judge is just in the pocket of the spanish media corporations. Telegram is used by 8 million spanish users daily for lots of different things.

Recently the UE forced WhatsApp to open a protocol so it can be compatible precisely with Telegram to avoid a monopoly.

If telegram elevates to the european court due to abuse of the spanish authorities they should win.

Everytime I want a distro that just works I just roll with Linux Mint.

Being one of the most popular distro if something goes wrong is really easy to find how to fix it .

And what happens if the government needs that money and Bitcoin price is down?

I don’t see how putting national reserves on such an inestable “asset” would be a good idea.

To be fair current age verification is useless. We all know clicking a button does not verify anything.

Also we know that submitting personal data to a website to verify your age is terrible. Big no no.

I’m curious of what will happen in my country. Here in Spain government said that they will implement a new age verification system using Anonymous digital certificates. The government will issue those and you have to give your ID but the certificate itself it’s anonymous and the website won’t be able to know who is the person behind the certificate. While there’s no implementation yet, I hope they use the kind of anonymous certificates that, once expedited, the government also does not know who is using the certificate when serving as a certificate authority to validate its authenticity.

Let’s see how it goes. I’m afraid even while being privacy friendly with this system Pornhub will block access here to as a threat to other places. At the end is a private company and blocking minors from accessing their content cost them big money, and, of course, money is the only thing that matters to them.

I’ve usually run linux until I got sick of having problems with it and then install windows… until I got sick of having problems with it and then switch to linux again.

There is no OS without issues. In my experience, that may not be the same as others, linux problems tend to be more frequent, smaller and easier to fix. While windows problems tend to be less frequent but more problematic and harder to fix (I’m looking at you windows update which destroyed all my OS).

But if you are going to use linux you are going to need to tweak some things. The tinkering to make it all work is easy as the community forums have all the answers (btw windows support forums are the WORST, 99% of proposed solutions are useless).

For the sake of lemmy civility and prosperity I just didn’t want to start an argument.

Let’s just say I did read the whole article before posting and shouldn’t be assumed otherwise unless there was something incorrect being said, which was imposible due the nature of the comment itself.

Lemmy apps are awesome. And the community is really welcoming.
