Props to musk. He’s doing what the rest of the oligarchs are doing. He’s just making it plainly obvious.

Hopefully people then start to wake up to who their enemies truly are.

In true modern Microsoft fashion. Remove features, lock forum posts of people asking for them back. Provide no reason. Profit because apparently this shit is crack to companies.

Seems so arbitrary that they just block the entire project instead of the user in the sanctioned region.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Probably for the best, GitHub seems like a liability (to a lamen like me, anyway)

I ported !engineeringmemes@lemmy.world. Because of its limited volume, it’s barely an effort to moderate.

Just start the communities you want to see :)

Would he not have already sold most when they went public?

I’m gonna posit something even worse. It’s trained on conversations in a company Slack

Unfortunately I am primarily an android user, as I always have my phone with me.

I shall give it a go for desktop at some point though

Friendship ended with Firefox. Waterfox is my new best friend ❤️

This is what I’m planning to do with some textbooks I want for my work.

$200-$300 and you want me to download an app that may or may not even work in 10 years?

Nah, I’m gonna future proof my access no remorse 🏴‍☠️

I will pay though, because it’s tax deductible, and also because it I ever get questioned on it (since I use them around coworkers and management), I’m golden.

I found this help article where they say “Although not all non-genuine supplies may cause quality issues”.

They said they recommend using theirs, but up until this they didn’t say you couldn’t.

Plus, it’s been universally understood that you have been able to use third-party cartridges. I really think if you’re persistent enough, you’d get a refund in Australia. Because else (in Victoria at least) you could take them to VCAT for like $70, which will cost them wayyy more in lawyer expenses than the price of a refund.

This is not legal advice, but I reckon a refund under Australian Consumer Law is extremely doable if they go down this path (for existing printers).

I’m curious how this will go down in Australia. Seems like a pretty solid slam dunk refund, oh the product doesn’t work as advertised anymore?

Cool, I’ve had this for 5 years and now I’d also like a full refund under Australian Consumer Law.

Motherfuckers.

(I don’t actually own a printer)

You are underestimating how many people will give up at the slightest inconvenience.

I can tell you, when vigorously enforced, you can get the vast majority of a population to play within your walled garden (China, as an example).

Sweden however, yeah, unless they wanna go full internet firewall, not sure exactly how they plan on enforcing this.

It’s almost like this not-for-profit, for-profit subsidiary thing is a cancer (or at least, my selection bias of late thinks so).

Can someone ELI5 why a foundation can’t develop these products directly, with a for-profit subsidiary? Is there something forbidden about rasing revenue for a not-for-profit via product sales? Would this even fix anything?

Awwww yeaaah. Welcome friend, stay a while

Hiring one extra person, for an agency that covers hundreds of millions of people? I’m gonna go out there and say yes, that is reasonable to expect. Sure, uptake is low now, but network effect is responsible for that, now when people are moving from Twitter is the exact time to encourage people to change to something better.

The European Commission has its head on straight, that they are being a first mover on Mastodon, because putting critical communication infrastructure in the hands of a private company is silly long term.

I’m not doubting your reasoning as to why this agency hasn’t bothered, but it’s not convincing that it’s reasonable.

I’d have no problem with them making Bluesky account, but why not both that and spinning up a Mastodon server?

It’s just short-sighted

A bit of a hacky workaround on Android. Get Keepass2Android, use the included keyboard.

“Paste” whatever via the inbuilt password input functionality. It basically auto types out your passwords. (You protect this behind a master password/and optionally quick accessed by biometrics)

Profit
