It’s a gamble. But I assume ICE agents still want to live. If you have even half the armed count they do, I would imagine they may think twice about opening fire. Although that is assuming ICE thinks…

In North America, the point is to be your main method of transportation. Work, groceries, friends, all require cars to get there in a reasonable time frame. Yes there are longer trips, and personally I would not feel comfortable with a 200km max range, because the nearest large towns are upwards of that already. But for those that rarely leave their cities, you could make it work, especially if your spouse had a gas / longer range car. Seems fine for a city car.

So, did we forget to post a link or is Lemmy really at the point that a random unofficial image is a source of information?

I searched it and found a Verge article that appears to be the source of this image.

What a nothing article though. The logo design I am pretty sure is a Verge artistic interpretation, with the actual changes being updating UI elements to share a similar language with the Copilot app, which just so happens to look like every other modern interface and very similar to the base Windows 11 design. But I guess “company tries new UI on new product and then expands UI to other products” is not QUITE the ragebait headline that people want. The only AI change here is a ChatGPT/Copilot-esque newtab search bar.

Reading this non-post and it’s comments is identical to boomers on Facebook airing their pre-baked grievances after reading a Fox news headline.

It doesn’t have to be, but by nature of anyone being able to spin one up, people will end up on hobby instances.

Traditional social media is run for-profit and thus has an incentive to keep their website online as much as possible to keep their company alive by gaining users and revenue. And I would bet they do have backups. Hobby websites like fediverse projects often are can be run by any flaky nobody that can have varying motives and varying data retention practices.

In this nazi analogy it would be less of buying chairs and more the nazis giving away chairs for free that come with blueprints so if the nazis started installing spikes in their chairs people can just build their own from the blueprints, they just choose not to because it’s a lot of work. Which is fine if you don’t want those chairs, but a lot of people are fine with those chairs as long as the nazis don’t start any camps.

My instinct would be yes, and this was the recommendation I found while researching it before implementation. Windows is less likely to screw with another drive than it is the partitions on it’s own drive. That said, it’s a best guess and you never know what Microsoft vibe coders will break next! But I have foubd it stable.

On dual booting, I’ll say I’ve been running Win11 through several updates with GRUB and Mint installed on a second SSD with no issues for over a year now.

I would assume they have two monitors connected and when the tearing occurs on the problem monitor, their second monitor flickers.

The first time I got that popup I immediately gave up using that garbage software ever again, but casual PC users don’t quite have the same self respect.

The Ragebait Wagon

The default Windows player does not support h265 without an additional charge. Cheap devices such as my parents’ Hisense from 4 years ago also stutter badly on playback of h265, even though they aren’t high bitrate (1.5GB for 1.5hr movie, hardly a large video). These are additional barriers that can be avoided by using h264.

HEVC is a bad idea, as hardware support is still missing on some devices and certain common software such as Windows Media Player cannot play it without a microtransaction. These are easy fixes for anyone with the desire to solve them, but it sounds like that is not who OP is gifting to. I literally had someone ask me last week what to do with a video file WMP could not play and it mildly blew my brain.

This is why I scrobble it to Last.fm. :) The site is still healthy and has a really nice end of year recap (but on Jan 1st, the actual end of year).

Just skip to the point and make it 1 day

Ah yes, people slow down near cops for the love of the game, not because they’re afraid of a ticket or jail time.

This is going to get so much worse with passkeys becoming more common…

I believe that’s the joke, but I’m glad someone explained this for those that don’t know.

Sadly most of those older YouTube videos have been run through multiple re-compressions and look so much worse than they did at upload. It’s a major bummer.

Soulseek is the opposite of “tagged consistently”.
