Was probably made by a child as a school project. At least I hope.

Really wish another org with significant funds and better leadership would take Firefox and make it thrive. Mozilla just seems to get worse and worse.

Yes

We’re so many levels of abstraction and emulation deep, that the natural conclusion is that there’s no reason to believe we’re at the top of the abstraction, but somewhere in the middle.

We definitely living in a simulation.

Is it really that surprising? Specially the type of person that would be on Lemmy and use Linux.

We’ve been seeing this tech for 10+ years slowly progressing to the point of commercialization, and finally the release of foldable phones and curves displays.

DDG and others don’t really hide the fact that the results come from Bing. People really underestimate how hard it is to make a search engine.

I mean… They are not short on cash either.

Because they can. It costs a huge amount of money to move away from MS. And MS can just bribe politicians to make it even harder.

Offices have way more power to convert the world to Linux than even gaming does.

And ofc, Microsoft is well aware and is not interested in letting that happen.

Thank you. DW is such an amazing resource. I really like their podcasts and videos.

That’s not true. Specially with older banks, they don’t let you run their shitty apps on rooted phones. And some younger banks don’t even let you do certain tasks on the website, they are mobile first.

You’re a whiz now Harry!

Yes. Probably if you already changed the default it didn’t ask you again

The thing is: what people call the Internet is not the infrastructure. It’s the content on the Internet. There’s the technical term “Internet” and there’s the coloquial term. Unfortunately, engineers and scientists suck at naming and explaining things at the level that the general population can understand. So “the Internet” became synonymous with “content on the Internet”, be it Web content, torrents, bbs and what not.

To be fair, the definition is a bit muddier nowadays. Is Lemmy on the Web? I don’t use it via the website. Bulletin boards used to not be part of the Web, as they pre-date the Web. But nowadays everything is HTTP. There’s so little non-web left, and the vast majority of users never use it, that the Internet is only used for accessing the Web.

Most people are indeed technically not savvy and don’t understand why they would need more than WhatsApp and Instagram on their phone.

I agree. Its cute but i think it lacks essential details. The monochrome versions don’t look penguin enough.

That’s so short sided. Signal is useless if all your contacts only use WhatsApp.
