Technology@lemmy.world•Reddit is profitable for the first time ever, with nearly 100 million daily usersEnglish
3·1 year agoWell and behind it is stealing other peoples’ work (posts and comments, moderation and administration) and selling them as yours. The oldest capitalist criminal trick in the book: privatization AKA primitive accumulation AKA enclosure of the commons.
Those sociopaths burning the planet and pumping out all the water are completely out of touch with reality. They would rather destroy the planet for some Annoying Idiocy .

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft just paused Windows 11 24H2 update for many PCs due to crashes and freezesEnglish
181·1 year agoCrashing is the smallest problem. All that sypware, ads and artificial idiocy they are embedding in the bloated excuse of an OS is way worse than any crash. I am so glad I switched to GNU/Linux (openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma desktop, after seeing how well gaming works on Steam Deck I also switched to GNU/Linux for gaming) and it is so so much nicer to have an OS that is fast, stable and actually respects basic human rights like privacy and freedom.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google creating an AI agent to use your PC on your behalf, says report | Same PR nightmare as Windows RecallEnglish
35·1 year agoThese GAFAM/BigTech corporations really are in a tough and fierce competition of which one is the shittiest and most privacy-invading don’t they. Ensittification overdrive mode in all of them.
It takes one to know one. Not much difference, if any, between Microsoft nad Google, and the rest of GAFAM/BigTech.

Technology@lemmy.world•Ubuntu turns 20: 'Oracular Oriole' shows this old bird's still got plenty of flightEnglish
84·1 year agoBetter to use Kubuntu edition, much better desktop and less crap that is nowdays in Ubuntu.
GNU/Linux only, with KDE Plasma for desktop as possible. Using it on work laptop (Kubuntu), home laptop (openSUSE Tumbleweed), PC (openSUSE Tumbleweed, also used for gaming), Steam Deck (Arch-based SteamOS). I don’t use spyware/adware so Windows is out of question for me. Also it is not free as in freedom and opensource.

Technology@lemmy.world•We found the Missing Performance: Zen 5 Tested with SMT DisabledEnglish
35·1 year agoOr they just found out that Windows process scheduler is still broken beyond repair. If you look at the benchmarks on GNU/Linux performance is all there. For example see Phoronix benchmark
Yeah I am so glad I switched to GNU/Linux years ago, Have to keep supporting closed OSes at work with our software and with each release they are just getting worse and worse, while GNU/Linux just keeps getting better.

Technology@lemmy.world•Apple is reportedly exploring a partnership with Google for Gemini-powered feature on iPhonesEnglish
1·2 years agoNo wonder. all GAFAM is a spyware surveillance capitalism mafia and they work together. If you really want to THINK different you need to look into libre and opensource software like GNU/Linux and the likes.

















Yeah they are more visible/promoted and offered for downloads on the same equal level as other editions. Otherwise spins and labs can be quite hidden from peopel who do not know they exist.
