Why do you think they do? Logically think it through.

Market sharen and incumbent advantage. Ease of adoption (or appearance of). Ubiquity and lack of need to retain. Predatory behaviour by MS. Different priorities for users.

Unless you actually consider the real reasons why Windows is so widespread you’ll never make a dent in it.

What happened with Unity in the end? Did they back down?

will they still be like that in ten years?

They’re doing what??

This is a minor point but on Instagram if you press the logo in the top left you can pick Following and it shows you a chronological timeline of only those accounts you actually follow. Instead of the usual shitshow set of reels.

I’ve got to be honest that picture is just a pub with books.

Also a little plug for !microblog_memes@lemmy.world which is our WhitePeopleTwitter replacement.

Going back to /r/all on reddit now just pure trash. It’s unbelievable how badly it’s declined, very recently.

Someone, somewhere, is making decisions about piracy without understanding how it works. And no one could be bothered to correct them.

The trouble is in England if you don’t use deliveroo or whatever, the only food you can get on takeaway (delivered or collection) is kebabs or pizza. The main restaurants tend not to bother with their own takeaway.

Totally agree. It’s such a shame the issues with lemmy can’t be fixed to Beehaw’s satisfaction.

An old MS-DOS game from the 90s called Solar Winds, by Epic Megagames. It was top down and you flew around battling spaceships and doing missions in space. I absolutely loved it as a kid. Pretty sure you can get it for free now.

He is very good at the following things:

• being born rich
• investing in a slam dunk future technology everyone on the planet knows we will need, eg money on the internet, electric cars, space ships
• taking risks in combining the above

That is about as far as his skillset runs. As we’ve seen from twitter, when he doesn’t have an entire layer of his organisation set up to run interference in him, he quickly runs companies into the ground. He has had zero original ideas.

He’s also a dangerous alt-right racist nutjob.

Retaining some ability to spend and use cash is vital because otherwise, all our financial transactions are totally controlled by the banks, and they are completely untrustworthy. The cost is inconvenience.

It’s the same argument as banning private schools - if the rich have to use the same infrastructure as the rest of us, they’ve got less incentive to dismantle it.

“Imagine you could see someone’s twitter page from your Facebook account. It’s like that.”

You don’t pay cash for it, but it takes up your time and IKEA gets your data and is allowed to send you spam. So kinda free, but also not.

I’m currently giving to dessalines on Patreon, should that continue or should I donate via another means?

I’ve bought this and it’s so long! 110 pages, of which 70 are the powers. It looks great but in classic MCDM style (Illrigger is super complex) it is hella crunchy.

The list of powers is two and a half pages long on its own

Do you really want Taco John’s to hold the usage rights to ‘taco Tuesday’?
