Yeah the pointer is handled differently so the old packages don’t work, and I couldn’t find an updated package possibly because no one has bothered to write one yet. It’s perfectly understandable and not an issue whatsoever.
Trackpads are handled much better though.
My very first experience with Linux last year was switching from X to Wayland to get my touchpad to work properly. The only thing I’ve noticed that doesn’t work on Wayland is that mouse following cat.
Those are supposed to be part of the spoiler tag, but many lemmy clients don’t support those yet.
Northern England just got a new nickname.
Even py.game would be better at this point…
There was a comment thread a month ago about the attempted refusal to use gender neutral language because that’s political: “This project is not an appropriate arena to advertise your personal politics.”
It’s not the same thing, but it does match the pattern. Still take everything with some salt though.
Ladux? Linda? +Linux, pronounced “Add a Linux” -> Ada Linux? LinLace?
Also possibly a pomegranate, which comes from medieval latin for “apple with many seeds”. Lots of things were called apples in the past, and many languages still do that, like the French words for potato; “Pomme de terre” which means “Apple of the earth”.
Apple just kinda mean fruit, so it’s quite vague.
Maybe the mark is missed for me because no iPhone in existence is marketed as a standard everyday driver. They’re always various levels of “luxury” or “pro”. More comparable to a Lexus or a Lincoln.
It’s also fixed one of the flaws of the original by increasing the time difference. 2005-2024 is a meaningful difference in the market, but 2021-2024 isn’t (unless Apple harped on 2024 specifically for some reason).
A more accurate comparison and one that exposes the weaknesses of the original might be a 2024 BMW vs a 2023 Bugatti, a new upper class car vs a recent top class supercar. Fewer of that argument’s flaws are due to exaggeration and more are presented in the original, which would be a better exposition of truth to satirize with.
I agree, this is poor satire.
You could set up your own cloud, yes, but you could also use only ‘client’ devices, without ever having an off-site computer in the network.
I’ve been using Blokada, and higher in the comments is Mullivad.
Premium only gets a third of the ads anyway. In-video sponsors, Shorts, News, Shopping, Irrelevant search results, Memberships, Data Tracking, and Hidden Dislikes are all still present.
If you want to edit macros in Excel, you’ll see a Vista window. Vista! In 2024!
Interesting claim, let’s see:
Afghanistan, Algeria, Angola, Argentina*, Armenia, Bulgaria, Burundi, Cambodia, Canada*, China, The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Costa Rica, Cuba, The Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Indonesia, Iran, Laos, Mongolia, Mozambique, Nepal*, Netherlands (country, not kingdom), North Korea, Pakistan*, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Poland, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, The Solomon Islands, South Africa, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Tonga, Turkey, Vanatu, Vietnam, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Taiwan (to some extent), all use Provinces.
While Australia*, Austria*, Brazil*, Germany*, India*, Malaysia*, Mexico*, The Federated States of Micronesia*, Myanmar, Nigeria*, Palau, Somalia*, South Sudan*, Sudan*, The United States*, and Venezuela*, all use States.
More interestingly, the asterisks denote federal systems of government (the rest are mostly unitary or regional). Almost every state system is also a federal system, while most provinces aren’t sovereign.
Thus, Canada is the weird one out, basically using states while calling them less than states. As usual, they do everything backward. I’m so proud! 🇨🇦
It is actually, Canada is the state. The US is the weird one with multiple states.
Hmm, I wonder if this would be better with an unimpressed face looking away vs a ready to pounce face focused towards the words.
There are plenty of arguments for/about various gods that fall apart under basic scrutiny. Apologists still use them all the time, and people who doubts often lap them up.
Put so blunty they do sound like strawmen, but people really argue for these things.
It’s exactly this for me. Maybe Spotify and YTP are worth it, maybe supporting them does more good than harm, but there’s no way in hell you’re going to annoy money out of me. If you can’t respect me as a free user, you don’t deserve my money, especially when that money won’t be going to the artists I’m there for.
Seriously, the best ad is a good basic version.
And the alternative to doing that is what? This whole story was started because of windows and windows antivirus being inflexible.
