What doesn't fit here?

The core of the story has to be technology focused.

If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.

Post guidelines

Title format

Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.

URL format

Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.

[Opinion] prefix

Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.

Country prefix

Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

Rules

1. English only

Title and associated content has to be in English.

2. Use original link

Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.

3. Respectful communication

All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.

4. Inclusivity

Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

5. Ad hominem attacks

Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.

6. Off-topic tangents

Stay on topic. Keep it relevant.

7. Instance rules may apply

If something is not covered by community rules, but are against lemmy.zip instance rules, they will be enforced.

As always, "how can you tell when someone uses Linux? Don't worry, they'll tell you"

(I'm trying out mint)

Tbf it's hard not to "told ya so" the "just works" people when it don't "just work."

It should work, they're a billion dollar corporation with the resources to do it and come default so all hardware issues are worked out before shipping by the OEM, and they're still making linux look good by dropping the bag so hard, they deserve it tbh.

Well, when the conversations comes up talking about the Windows 11 crashing or has some horrible bug again, then yes, they will definitely tell you. It's kinda hard not to educate people that it's fairly easy to just switch to an OS that actually works.

Wait. It broke the trash can?

[–] EggInDisguise@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 4 months ago

I still have a laptop with windows that I use for gaming with some people, and I haven't updated it in probably 6 months because every new update this year breaks something. The only thing I've been updating are my games.

I'm sure that's fine and definitely won't cause any security issues down the line...

[–] JokeDeity@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago

10 is still running fine for me.

Awww. lol

Glad I only have microslop on my work PC. My linux upgrades have never failed me

[–] KingKong33@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 months ago

How the fuck do you break the recycle bin?

I was going to say, this months windows update was actually fedora on my laptop because 11 is so bad

If I get to witness the complete and utter fall of Microslop from sheer incompetence and stupidity within my lifetime, I will be very, very happy. Until then, watching them drown above water like this will suffice.

They will unfortunately come back from this. It's almost impossible for the company to actually fail since they have so many options due to their size and position.

But yes, would love to see them really start to decrease profits and go down a lot on the stock market.

I don't care about living a long time except for things like this. I would absolutely love to see MS collapse a few notches or more in my lifetime. It would bring a smile to my face.

What else is new?

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 point 4 months ago

Windows update broke keys working on my keyboard and the backlight. I keep trying to pause updates until I get time to trawl the net and scout potential problems and solutions, but apparently they broke that, too. -_-
