Even though I take issue with the BBC, I hope they choose to stay on mastadon in the long term. A large organisation like the BBC on a federated platform is sure to spread word and hopefully convince more people to join the fediverse and see it a a feasible alternative to the current big tech landscape.

I don't mind having a UI for things like navigation or android auto. What gets me is why do things like climate control need to be buried in a UI? If my windscreen starts to steam up mid-jourmey, the last thing I need is to take my attention off the road to change the climate settings in the UI where dials and buttons will do the job much faster without needing to take my attention off the road.

Can't play league on linux

Actually a good thing

Ever heard of 9-9-6?

China, not that Japan's work culture is much better though

Gabe Newall said himself that piracy is never a price problem, but a service problem.

Psh, don't even need that, just use a package manager

Honestly I find constantly having to keep on top of disabling questionable windows features and bloat (knowing I've definitely missed something) more difficult and exhausting than just using linux. Linux feels way more "easy and simple" to me than windows ever has been.

Pretty much the same as the US (and I imagine other English-speaking countries) with similar age distribution (i.e. facebook mums, tiktok kids) and of course toxic cesspit behaviour on twiitter.

I try to justify that windows is okay for corporate, but that's requiring some hardcore copium.

It's not that it's too difficult, but having it this way is more inconvenient to the customer leaving them less inclined to make the call. Scummy behaviour all around.

Cool beans

This goes against the principles of the fediverse, I'd expect content censorship from the likes of reddit and twitter. This feels like a knee-jerk reaction to a problem that doesn't exist on communities from completely different instances (and judging by the backlash this decision came out of nowhere without consultng the community). I seriously urge you to reconsider this decision.

I'd understand more if these communities were outright file sharing. I understand why that's a liability. But discussion of the topic should be permitted, which said communities are exactly that. !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com explicitally forbids file sharing in their rules.

Let's be real though, the admins handling of this wasn't great. A more public discussion could have prevented backlash or allow these communities to address LW admin's concerns.

Especially true if you include time as well:

Year > Month > Day > Hour > Minute
