Didn’t realize only old people could have organ transplants, cancer, autoimmune disease, or just simply weaker immune systems.

Good thing it’s only old people.

Or Windows just works on so much different hardware. You can build a PC with the weirdest mix and match of hardware, and Windows will just… work. Also I bought a Microsoft sidewinder wheel from 1998 from a thrift store for $8, plugged it into my Windows 10 PC, and it just worked. Nothing special was needed. 1998 hardware literally plug and play on Windows 10 (and I’ve tested it on 11, and it works the same).

You can install MacOS on non-Apple hardware, but you need to buy very specific hardware, and download very specific hacks, to make it work.

Even Linux only works on specific hardware. This entire thread has people talking about how broken Linux is on their setups. The suggestions are to buy specific hardware and run very specific versions of Linux.

Can’t wait for Linux to be mainstream in 2085!

My instance doesn’t block it, so it’s everywhere.

Mines just porn lol

Why do Americans think you need to carry a debt to build credit? That is the opposite.

I put EVERYTHING on credit card, and pay everything off on time. Never missed a payment. My credit score was the highest it can be by the time I turned 21. I’ve never paid a penny in fees or interest.

Going to be honest, I don’t really care that I got rid of my VHS tapes and 480p DVDs.

In Ontario, disability gets you $1200 per month if you are lucky and max out everything. Most people get $800-900.

For one person on disability, you get $497 for rent. You wont even find a ROOM for $497.

Tell me where you can even rent and pay utilities for less, let alone groceries, clothes, etc.

Canada doesn’t even give people on disability enough to afford rent, let alone groceries, power bills, car insurance, etc.

Maybe start there. Help the disabled survive.

Technology on Lemmy world.

And that’s a great reason to call me a racist Holocaust denier! And it’s great to see their comments get a ton of upvotes, too!

I wouldn’t say boring, I’d say frustrating. You cannot use Lemmy for any kind of tech support if you’re not using Linux or FOSS software.

If you make a post asking for help with a software you need, someone will ignore you and tell you to use some garbage ass incomparable FOSS version. Use anything not Linux? Use Linux, idiot.

You pay for YouTube premium because it’s $5 per month using the family plan, and you’re okay with paying a few bucks for entertainment? Go die from cancer. Actually, though, someone called me a racist and a Holocaust denier for saying I pay for YouTube premium since I split it between my family, and it’s pretty damn cheap. Their comments were heavily upvoted and mine were downvoted.

Lemmy genuinely isn’t fun anymore. It’s so incredibly toxic.

Oh ya, don’t forget the fuck cars community telling me it’s my fault my city doesn’t have great public transit? Like bro, I moved here a year ago. This city was built hundreds of years ago. How the fuck is that my fault?

Your original comment was accusing him of getting money and bailing. You’re part of the problem. Put yourself in whichever group you want.

I never said you made death threats. You responded to my comment, “joking” that the developer grabbed his money and bailed. Your original comment to my comment perfectly encapsulates how FOSS users treat him. You accused him of running away after getting money.

Even if he bailed, it wasn’t for the small flow of cash. It was because of how the FOSS users were treating him. You are welcome to go look at all of the previous Sync posts back when Sync launched, seeing the thousands of comments bashing him for putting ads in the app, and calling him very mean things.

I also never said Lemmy is dead. I said people like you are going to kill Lemmy. Learn to read.

Learn to read. Thanks.

Or, “I wish I wasn’t getting death threats, posts about me attacking my character, all because I released a really good app but included ads so I could get paid for it”.

So again, for the millionth time, Lemmy nerds expect everything to be free and without ads. That’s not how life works, and you throw a hissy fit like a child.

You’re going to ruin Lemmy. Enjoy it.

With the way the Lemmy community treated him for releasing a “non-FOSS” app, I wouldn’t be surprised if he bailed. I would’ve.

Nah. If you say anything positive about Windows or non-foss software you’re downvoted to hell.

Makes having conversations about anything not to due with Linux impossible.

Um, America? Name any large company and it’s America based and tracking you.

Microsoft, Google, Apple, Amazon, Meta…

Meanwhile all of the services I use that do respect my privacy are from other countries like Switzerland, Canada, Sweden…

I don’t? Are you assuming because I clicked a random post I saw on the active tab that I run pirated Windows?
