People can safely use Windows 10 online for the next decade as long as they follow basic online safety.

This is a fucking braindead take. A few months, a year, maaaybe? But a decade? No chance in hell.

looool, because a 50% price increase wasn’t bad enough. Has anyone not cancelled yet?

Ooooo, good to hear! I played something like 15 hours when EA first released before deciding to put it away until full release. It was definitely good then, so I’m excited to see what it has turned into now.

I still have a FAT32 external drive that this (very) rarely still bites me 😫 there’s nothing important on it, so I’ve been lazy

Also, Android allows real browsers. Firefox and browser extensions.

iOS has allowed non-Safari browsers for close to a decade, now. Otherwise I mostly agree

I’m sure most of them are actually retired, but all? No chance

Eventually these corporations undergo trial by anti trust as their influence becomes increasingly toxic e.g. Google.

lol, feel free to let me know when any actual consequences come from that

The market has also increased 1000-times over, while simultaneously removing physical barriers entirely. The development itself is more expensive, sure, but distribution is way cheaper and the potential gains have increased at a much quicker rate, especially for smaller games.

But even then it’s astronomically unlikely to be retroactively enforced

It’s not unlikely, it’s literally impossible.

Did plex do something again

That. The content of the screenshot you posted. That is what’s going on.

Wasn’t Splitgate 1 a pretty overwhelming disappointment? Kinda scummy to turn off the servers and then work on releasing a second installment.

I posted several threads asking for that and got REAMED.

The devs are tankies, the largest instances indirectly support fascism (and the tankies), and the biggest European instance is explicitly choosing to support neonazis.

Lemmy is dead.

It’s almost as if this thread isn’t about Italy, Italians, or Italian law 🤔 super weird of me to focus on the topic presented, I know

Ex-nazis choosing to support neo-nazis. Maybe they lost the ex, is Germany OK?

If everyone on your team of 6 is 20% faster, you don’t necessarily need the 6th person. Maybe you put that towards more work, but that’s not very American, these days. Cut costs, cash out, fuck 'em

I’ll be honest, I thought Plex Pass was always a requirement for this 😅

And Linux isn’t minimal effort. It’s an operating system that demands more of you than does the commercial offerings from Microsoft and Apple. Thus, it serves as a dojo for understanding computers better. With a sensei who keeps demanding you figure problems out on your own in order to learn and level up.

Counterpoint: most people don’t use Linux because the people that evangelize Linux talk about it like this.

I don’t want to “level up,” I want to accomplish my tasks. I’m trying to get shit done, not train for a fucking tournament.

In the short-term (0-6mo, maybe less): probably nothing really changes. It’s not super likely that anyone would be holding on to a massive flaw, waiting for EOL. Nothing stops Microsoft from patching after EOL for something major, they’ve done it before.

Medium-term (maybe up to a year or two): you’re looking at real potential to get infected with --who-knows-what–. Hard to say how long it would take or how widespread it would be.

Longer term: massive, massive security hole. Microsoft has probably even patched a major thing or two by now (despite EOL), but there will always be more
