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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

You can: by making it irrelevant. It’s not dead then, but not used also. And that is what’s planned here.

Yes, but I advocate for decentralized social media to become the status quo and not the fallback role when corpo controlled media ends it’s life cycle via enshittification again.

A natural network effect will pull in users in a network. Watering down our decentralized network with Metas network will make all of Fediverses advantages indistinguishable from the users perspective. Decentralization is not something you experience as a user anyway so there will be no obvious reason for someone coming from threads to switch over to the Fediverese. The other way round is more likely. Meta has insane design and market power to push out better Apps, faster CDNs and marketing to give users a better “Fediverse”.

Relatively, yes. But look at what happened in the last two years: https://fedidb.org/
