Yeah it’s definitely a chore to get anyone to use anything other than iMessage. A few friends and I use Signal even though they have iMessage and loved it. But everyone else is hooked to iMessage. Convenience is King in terms of adoption, unfortunately.

As someone who has to administer several hundred Windows servers and several thousand Windows workstations in our fleet (alongside our Linux and Mac systems), I was very sad that winget was not as good as I had hoped for. Chocolatey is still far better IMO, and neither is anywhere near as good as apt, rpm, etc.
You’ve reached lemmy.one!
Tailscale all the way.
Haha that would be most the people on our team’s response for sure.

Nothing. Haven’t logged on since subs went dark.
4·1 year agoABSOLUTELY THIS. Same. I have to deal with Oracle and their Opera PMS platform which uses Weblogic, 19c, and a variety of other products and it makes me actively want to scream and light things on fire. If I can help it, you won’t catch me using another Oracle product if I can avoid it.
1·1 year agoThat’s the same response I always get. But once I show them how much easier it is, it’s so much easier. I can’t believe there was a time I didn’t use one.
A password manager is an absolute must, in my opinion! I use Bitwarden and love it.
3·1 year agoPersonal: Signal mostly, for personal chats I do also have Telegram and WhatsApp. I am starting to use Matrix for community chats as I just discovered it.
Work: Microsoft Teams.
1·1 year agoI love OpenRGB. It’s such a fast and lightweight alternative to Corsair iCUE, which is needlessly heavy, clunky, and resource-intensive just to tell your lights what color to be.
Horimiya is like…one of the greatest romance animes of all time. My wife and I liked it a lot!
My wife also loved The Ancient Magus’s Bride.
I’ve used Pihole and Adguard. Liked them both, but ultimately went back to Pihole.

Why? Because I was on Proton personally for a long time but got frustrated with the lack of features and also my wife and I rely heavily on shared groupware stuff like calendars and reminders, so we switched back to Google Mail. Once Proton is a bit more feature-rich, we’ll take a look at it again.
5·1 year agoPossibly, and hopefully! And it is true that storage will only get cheaper, and theoretically bandwidth will be too. But for now, bandwidth is expensive and (fast) storage is also expensive, despite being much more affordable than it was not too many years ago.
Absolutely this. As much as I’d love a free (and preferably FOSS) alternative to YouTube that’s just as good, I don’t see a realistic way for that to happen. Video is expensive.
I started with Jerboa and just would WefWef today. Game changer! Loving it.
On a <5 minute video?
DP has embedded, can be carried over USB-C, allowing for everything to be handled over a single cable, is handled on connector instead of device-internal interface allowing for smaller/thinner devices, DP daisy-chaining, licensing/royalty differences, etc.
