Jesus, just take a moment to realize how insufferable you need to be to have people defend Windows. Privacy issues are the only valid argument at this point for Windows and a really good argument so just harp on it.

Edge isn’t a new concept, it’s just replaced IE. Also I don’t get the want to remove it entirely, try removing libcurl and see how functional Linux is for a daily driver. Just set Firefox as your default browser and call it a day, you’ll never see Edge again.

The search bar is one click to hide. Also several distros ship with a search bar.

Ads don’t appear with Windows Pro

Not really sure what setting you’re having trouble getting to, everything’s roughly the same between 7, 10, and 11 for power users.

Yeah… there are macros to handle formatting. Next you’ll say Scratch isn’t programming either.

6 years ago, two full years before the PS5 released. We’ll most likely be halfway through the PS6’s lifecycle when TES6 releases.

Definitely get a Deck, it’s shocking how powerful the hardware is. If price is an issue you can wait until the refurbished ones go on sale again and pick up the cheapest model for $280.

Do you guys actually use wristbands? I just slap the rack before touching anything

Color

Yeah, not unless the medical forms were forged.

Tbf most ads are on text news articles, one image can take up thousands of times more data than a few words.

And it’s cached… and there are CDNs… Still way more energy than you want, but not quite as panic inducing as it sounds.

That’s what wishlists and gift cards are for

Didn’t realize I needed an /s

You should still be eating protein…

Yeah! It keeps it in India and Madagascar, fuck those guys.

It’s like that guy that posted an example Bitcoin miner on GitHub, then a bunch of script kiddies forgot to change his wallet info for their own before deploying… He made a good chunk of change by doing nothing malicious.

Remember how they took silver, a free joke gift, and monetized it?

I wouldn’t hire her either.

Pot calling the kettle black right here.

I’m about to leave Lemmy too because the main thing that shows up is /c/memes and half the time the posts aren’t memes and when they are they’re just reposts from 10 years ago.

It’s reminding me a lot of when I first joined Reddit (nearly 15 years ago). Not too much is happening day-to-day so I’m checking in every couple of days or so.

I think this is a much healthier relationship than checking a site compulsively every couple of hours. I’m liking it so far, also a crazy repercussion is that I’m using the internet like the early days again. I think of a topic and I do a deep dive on my own, researching into it and going down weird rabbit holes.

I feel like Reddit discouraged this behavior by having a non-stop flow of communities that “mostly” interested me enough to not go “browsing the web”
