It’s making me feel old in that he’s referred to as great Grampa and not just Grampa.

RVs are motorhomes that have an engine, gearbox etc. Caravan is something you tow behind another vehicle.
A lot of car parks are becoming like this. It’s especially frustrating when you try to download the app but you have no signal and there’s no other way to pay.
Admins: we want some feedback from the community about the media fact check bot.
Everyone: we hate it, turn it off.
Admins: ok, we heard you, we’re going to keep it on.
And it’s a behaviour that stems from the admins who’ll ban users from the entire instance if they disagree with their opinions.
It’s the only instance I have blocked at my account level so I don’t see their communties.
They won’t care or won’t even notice these things. They’ll open their laptop, book a holday or find some new car insurance or write a report of whatever and not even think about what the OS does. Unless they’re someone who is already extremely sensitive over privacy of their data, you’re not going to convice the average Windows user to switch to Linux.
When I was younger I used to use Ubuntu as my main OS for years, tried Arch for a bit - then went back to Windows. I haven’t got the time or energy to be fucking about with things like that anymore.
Windows is for people who’s life or personality doesn’t reolve around their computer. It’s just a tool to get things done and that’s it.
I suspect most BMW owners won’t care too much. Like they’ll find it annoying but still buy/lease the car anyway.
♥️ glad to be part of our community!
(perfectly working) android phone that I had had for 6 years. The phone brand was not providing android updates for it.
I get it through from the banks perspective. The OS is no longer getting security updates, so this is a fault of the phone manufacter for not having a long term commitment to security and OS updates.
And the app itself required a code that I could only get by SMS.
Yeah this is pretty bad.
And I will be stuck with them for decades.
Why’s that? I have my mortage through one bank but literally never use the actual services of the bank, I’ve never called them or used their app or logged into the site. My current account and savings accounts are with another bank separate to my mortage provider.
Also, won’t you be able to change when you come to re-mortgage if another bank offers a better deal?
Our instance is federated with hexbear, lemmygrad etc. I want to be resonsible for what I see and block, I’m really not a fan of defederation unless it’s a last resort (i.e. CSAM or other illegal content).
I did end up blocking the lemmy.ml instance though, fuck that place. I haven’t even blocked hexbear or lemmygrad.
The problem is most likely people that are new to the fediverse/lemmy just not understanding it and choosing a “default”, popular instance. I was going to pick it as a safe option when I first came here but it was under load and wasn’t accepting new users, where I then had to find another instance and settled on feddit.uk.
It would be good if lemmy instances could have the option of “load balancing” new users, so if the current instance has way more active users than it’s federated wtih then it disables registration but recommends other, smaller instances to the user.
My 1st & 2nd gen Chromecasts are working just as good as was the day we bought them and the UX is exactly the same - what was it about the UX that went down hill?
Don’t forget “it’s too complicated”
It’ll just be part of the culture settings - en-GB (I’m in the UK) systems will have the calendars set the first day of the week as Monday.
Open the calendar on your phone. It’s Sunday.
It’s not, it’s Monday - Monday is the first day of the week here, to be honest I thought that was the same across the western world. TIL I guess!
I love how the week starts on Monday.
Don’t all calendars start on Monday? I guess calendars in the Middle East might be different as their weekend days are different to those in Europe.
Probably because it’s a Crowdstrike issue, they’ve pushed a bad update.
No that’s new to me too, based off me searching the word and seeing the Wiki article on the toy. I’d seen the word because of one of the instances (blahaj zone), but I literally never see the word outside of Lemmy.
I’m not even 40 yet and my grandparents were in their 30s when the war ended. My parents had me when I was about my age now and similar for my grandparents for my parents.
