And that’s all he posted. I think he responed to one of two comments and then ignored everything else. I really dislike that ‘CEO here’, ‘I’m important, listen to me’ means that always ends up on HN. Then they disappear like their mere response to the post is enough. After all, they’re very important people.

If he thought ‘damaged control done’ he was sadly mistaken.

I host my site on Netlify. I’m moving. If they think that it’s acceptable to bill somebody $104k for a small site, at all, without it tripping some alarm for a human to look at before it goes out, then they’re doing it wrong. Something that says ‘Month 1 bill = $20; Month 2 bill = $104,000’ could be a problem isn’t difficult to do. And that they have ‘done this often’ (my words) highlights it’s a problem.

There are many bullshit hosting companies out there I can use who don’t do this sort of thing. Why is Netlify special.

It’s always DNS.

You have your priorities defined. Well done.

but half the time it can’t access any sites while Chrome does.

I smell exaggerated bullshit.

How ever much we want that to be true, it’s simply not. Sadly.

That makes sense. 👍

I’m assuming the content you download has Apple DRM so you continue to rely on them? And when they do away with that service your ‘purchases’ are just files taking up disk space?

A sarcastic, but genuine question (been reading about the Sony / Crunchyroll / Fun<something> over the last few days).

… right up until you don’t have the choice. Microsoft wants a walled garden because money.

I get the sentiment but it really worries me when people embrace this kind of stuff.

It is easily done.

I don’t do it because I like the separation - that drive is Linux, that is Windows. That’s just me

That’s a myth that people need to stop spreading.

Microsoft is a business. Microsoft is also not stupid. If it cost them more to provide a product than it makes them, they wouldn’t provide it. They’re is a huge amount of examples of them doing this. They don’t provide it because they’re nicer guys.

Microsoft uses Windows, and all of it’s products, as a vehicle for Azure and advertisers. Everything they do feeds into that one way or another.

Microsoft stopped being a software company some time ago.

I could. But we both know I’d be wasting my time.

This stuff isn’t difficult to understand. But you’re going out of your way to make such a show of not understanding that you’re obviously trolling. Or an idiot.

They are. Employers house or not. That’s the point you’re missing.

Just tried to create an account. Got error that it couldn’t send me an email to verify. Login button spins and then does nothing. Resetting password is the same.

Not sure what went wrong but sh.itdoesnt.work

I see a lot of usernames from SJW so I think I might do that!

You’ve clearly missed the point.

The moderation on Lemmy is pretty poor and there is no clear (at least to me) avenue to help or offer help. Reporting it is pointless.

So I agree. Lemmy cannot handle it at the moment. That does not give confidence of it being handled when it gets larger, and the spam / bots becoming more sophisticated.

I do appreciate however, that all platforms have to go through this learning process.

Source?

I had issues with AirPods connecting to Debian 12. It turned out to be codecs (from memory - I just remember some proprietary Apple shit) that were needed. Once they were installed it connected first time.

If yours were working and stopped connecting after an update this is unlikely to be the issue. But I thought I’d point out out just in case.

" …the government of Korea provide ample opportunity for engagement with a range of stakeholders, including the American business community and the U.S. government,"

The responsibility of the South Korean government is to it’s people and what’s best for them. The arrogance of the US government never fails to surprise me.

If the roles were reversed, the US government wouldn’t give a shit about South Korea and would simply tell them they need to ‘comply’.

Now Manjaro on the other hand… Tried it and understood why so many people don’t like it within the first week.

I see this a lot and nobody really ever explains, properly, why.

I have used Linux off and on for many years (mainly server OS such as RHEL and CentOS). I have now migrated from Windows desktop to Manjaro KDE. Using it for a year. Had one issue (wouldn’t boot after a kernel update), which I sorted quickly. Other than that it’s been rock solid.

But this isn’t a ‘I have a great experience so you’re all just haters’ post.

I know the stuff about it being a week or behind Arch. I remember something about the maintainers (can’t remember specifics) but they seem to be minor niggles that don’t affect most people.

Genuine question.

Why do you dislike Manjaro? I also know it’s a common theme to dislike it, so any other insight there?
