I wish. Both at home and in the office, we rely on too many Windows-dependent applications that do not work on Linux.

I run Ubuntu as my main OS since I can kinda do what I want with my laptop at work and obviously control my personal laptop as well, but everything production-wise at work is Windows on the client side, and I still have a Windows PC for gaming for games that require anti cheat that isn’t supported on Linux.

I vastly prefer Linux but Windows is a far lower friction/barrier to entry for most.

Well that’s great news! I joined the wait-list last week and got an email saying they’d get back to me when I could get access.

I was unaware that it was supposed to transfer chat history. It’s never once done it for me. I assumed it was like other platforms I’ve used where it doesn’t sync your history unless you backup and restore.

Beeper looks amazing but is waiting list only.

I’m curious what do you find horrible about it? I use it all the time and have zero issues with it.

I like GN and LTT for casual watching. But I’m very disappointed Steve opted to not do the proper thing and provide the accused party the opportunity to respond to his allegations. It comes off really hypocritical when he’s calling out one media group for lack of ethics/integrity/accountability and rushing videos out without proper checks and procedure in place and then rushes a video out and doesn’t give them a chance to respond first. And I don’t say this just because it’s GN and LTT. Could have been J2C and Hardware Unboxed or something and I’d still have this same opinion. I highly respect GN for the work they put in l, the content they make, and their quality, but this is a bit disappointing to see. Hopefully LTT cleans up their QC pipeline and thinks their actions through, and hopefully Steve at GN does too.

A bad day all around in my book.

On a <5 minute video?

DP has embedded, can be carried over USB-C, allowing for everything to be handled over a single cable, is handled on connector instead of device-internal interface allowing for smaller/thinner devices, DP daisy-chaining, licensing/royalty differences, etc.

I’m here giving it a try since I was using Sync Premium for Reddit for a long time before leaving Reddit. I was initially using the Voyager (WefWef) PWA and liked it a lot but definitely giving this a solid shot since I liked the Reddit one a ton. If I end up sticking around in the Fediverse and in Sync I might drop the $20 USD to remove adds and support the devs.

Yeah it’s definitely a chore to get anyone to use anything other than iMessage. A few friends and I use Signal even though they have iMessage and loved it. But everyone else is hooked to iMessage. Convenience is King in terms of adoption, unfortunately.

I love Dave’s Garage! Great channel.

As someone who has to administer several hundred Windows servers and several thousand Windows workstations in our fleet (alongside our Linux and Mac systems), I was very sad that winget was not as good as I had hoped for. Chocolatey is still far better IMO, and neither is anywhere near as good as apt, rpm, etc.

A password manager is an absolute must, in my opinion! I use Bitwarden and love it.

Oh, man. Getting that kind of stuff in writing is soooo good. * chef’s kiss *

The CEO just tripled down and said they are not changing their intended API pricing regardless of how many subs and users go dark.

Even if they did, I think a lot of redditors have been fed up with some things with Reddit (both the company and the first-party app) for a while.

Of course, there will be people who just don’t care and will continue to go about their redditing as usual, and those who will go back. A fair number of my close friends don’t care at all as they use the first-party app, have no complaints, don’t moderate any subreddits, and don’t follow the Internet news.

I would love to see my primary communities move over to federated social platforms. It reminds me of the Web1.0 and earlier Web2.0 days.
