Curious users can find the fediverse anyway if there were interested in changing social media platforms. Meta has NO good reasonable use to integrate the fediverse. Compared to Metas cumulative social media user size we are but a tiny hub of users. So here again: there is NO good reason for them to just causally go “oh hi guys, let’s be friends!” The only reason is to extinguish competition before it gets larger. It’s like Starbucks slapping down a store next to your local coffee shop because “wow we both like coffee, let’s be friends so our customers can enjoy coffee together and have a talk!” It’s a deceptive strategy.

This really bugs me at work sometimes. I’m a designer and I often have to split up images in several mails because others don’t understand the concept of archives. Or even worse: send the photos as “excel image file” (slapping them all in a excel sheet). I even once had a printery tell me my file was corrupt because it was (accidentally on my part) compressed as 7z. Oh how I would love to send files more often as 7zip… But that’s black magic apparently.

Yes, still then there are only very limited software configurations that are allowed.

It’s not even really better on Windows. (Nearly) all streaming services restrict resolution to 720p if you watch on a PC, mobile phone or tablet. With the exception of Netflix if you watch with Microsoft Edge or Chrome, I believe.

Den kann ich - ich würde sogar behaupten, jeder mit normalem Sehvermögen - ziemlich deutlich wahrnehmen. Ansonsten kann ich deine Argumentation nachvollziehen. Wenn es nicht oder nur kaum sichtbar wäre, würde es mich nicht stören.

Windows will absolutely wreck your Linux boot everytime it boots from my experience (I’m exaggerating the technical side a bit of course). The way I got my dual boot under control was to install easyUEFI on windows and from there to set Grub as Launcher: https://www.easyuefi.com/index-us.html Look here for a guide: https://superuser.com/questions/1247300/how-to-make-uefi-bios-start-grub-not-windows#1248255

Also later make sure windows has Fastboot and energy saving disabled or it will lock down your write access for any disk that is installed in your PC.

Everyone here makes the joke only once. But you have many friends here!

You are not alone, I had the same experience after hours of Alyx. Shows how immersive that game is.

Netflix definitely increased 1080p compression (or said better, nerfed it). 1080p even looks a little pixelated on my mobile phone now when it looked great on a PC monitor a few years ago.

I mean, there literally are complex websites created just to help people find and filter for streaming services that serve a movie or a series under what conditions or prices and the results are so fragmented and unsatisfying. Hell, so often a simple classic movie is on none of the streaming services or just on one on which you even then have to pay even if you are paying for a subscription (looking at you, Prime). So what the f, how should I happily decide for a subscription if the next day I have to yet pay for another one just because a effin movie is on another platform? Streaming has become a damn chore.
