You can’t trust ebay ratings either because if you have a bad experience they often won’t let you post a review

there is nothing you can do about it

You can just post from a different lemmy instance.

What does ‘woke’ mean?

Mods can’t ban you from their fediverse community. You could just post from another site. It is why fediverse is superior to reddit.

[We still strive to get as many DRM-free titles as possible on GOG, regardless of when they were first released.]

This is why I will always buy a game on GOG rather than Steam if I can.

Extended Support Release,

Hey thanks for the info. I didn’t know about this.

How does that help with unwanted update nagging?

Doesn’t work. Firefox keeps nagging me to update every freaking time I open the browser. Now if they let me turn the nagging off it wouldn’t be so bad.

I want an update once per quarter, not once per week. Only more often than that if there is a critical security fix.

Why the heck did Mozilla need 120 employees for anyway? I hate that Firefox is updated so often because I always get Firefox Update Fatigue. I hope that fewer employees means fewer Firefox updates.

Yes. I can’t imagine being foolish enough to automatically update your external dependencies when you don’t need to.

Yes. Sounds like the law itself is flawed.

The point of including worldwide stock is to reduce risk in case the US has a recession, as not all other countries will be affected by that.

This seems to be generally no longer true.

Companies should not even be issuing future “earnings expectations”. They mean little and warp the market. Drives me crazy when I hear financial talk about "future p/e’. It’s just a fake number. The only real p/e ratio is the trailing p/e ratio.

Bogleheads three fund portfolio (total US stock + total world stock + bonds) is very simple yet will beat most actively-managed portfolios over the long run.

This is right. But you don’t really need the ‘total world stock’. I reduced my allocation of that to 2% because it was dragging down my returns.

The law only cares what they do to other companies.

Apple doesn’t allow other companies to have their own app stores. Which google already did allow, they just didn’t make it easy to install one.

Apple is MUCH worse in restricting app stores. It makes no sense that Apple can continue to get away with their far worse restrictions than google. On the positive side this will make Android even better and more attractive to consumers vs AOS than it already was.

I like all of this stuff. But Apple needs to do all this even more than google.

They don’t give information because there is no information to give. It is just empty rhetoric to bullshit financial analysts. The CEO probably just sent out a company wide email a week before telling developers to do this and they all laughed.

This company wasn’t trying to bullshit financial analysts which was the reason for the google CEO comment.

How is Elon going to tell the AI to print its code on hardcopy and then fly to Elon’s city to show him your hardcopy code like he told actual Twitter developers to do?

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Linux.

Not necessarily. ChromeOS is Linux, and is easier to learn/use than Windows is.

The true enthusiasts grasp this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to appreciate the depths of these systems, to realize that they’re not just functional—they represent a radical shift in computing.

Unix (which Linux is based on) is 50 years old. I agree that Unix/Linux is vastly superior to Windows though.
