I like what you did with house there.

Yesterday I proudly did my part in this survey.

Whenever I get to know brands like these I wonder how many $800+ clothes I have unknowingly seen on people that I just thought of "damn, that's ugly." and went on with my day.

I used to have the "Founders Edition" subscription tier from when GeForce Now was introduced. It was like 25$/quarter and a limited time offer for the first subscribers of GeForce Now. It was on par with the premium tier (best servers, no time limit, and best quality + ray tracing). Of course, over the years, it got degraded to second best servers, 6 hour session limit, max. 1080p and so on ... Then I quit.

This, tbh. You don't get bullied for something, you get bullied because bullies want to bully.

What is concerning is his wording about "to leave threads". Consider that whatever saying in this interview is carefully laid out beforehand. What reason is there for a corporation that is living of it's users to just so casually let them leave like they please with everything that is giving value to Meta? He is not talking about wanting the users to leave threads, but to be able to migrate either direction. Who is going to win that fight in the end? The corporation who's solely goal is to win or the free and open community that is so tolerant that it invites the beast it fled from?

Great, so he is already talking about how to extend activityPub? He says that like this function will be a one way street. This is literally what many here are talking about.

What happens if you merge the user base of a small network and a huge network? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect Will the small network gain from the huge one or the other way round? Also there is a lot to gain. The users base of the fediverse and it's infrastructure grew by 5x in the last two years: https://fedidb.org/ Meta has a big interest in extinguishing a competitor before it profits from the bandwagon effect.

Great and such, but the large majority that might come to the Fediverse will never look nor use that function. If we don't defederate with our instances now, we never will.

Yes, still then there are only very limited software configurations that are allowed.

It's not even really better on Windows. (Nearly) all streaming services restrict resolution to 720p if you watch on a PC, mobile phone or tablet. With the exception of Netflix if you watch with Microsoft Edge or Chrome, I believe.

Windows will absolutely wreck your Linux boot everytime it boots from my experience (I'm exaggerating the technical side a bit of course). The way I got my dual boot under control was to install easyUEFI on windows and from there to set Grub as Launcher: https://www.easyuefi.com/index-us.html Look here for a guide: https://superuser.com/questions/1247300/how-to-make-uefi-bios-start-grub-not-windows#1248255

Also later make sure windows has Fastboot and energy saving disabled or it will lock down your write access for any disk that is installed in your PC.
