  • Microsoft is killing another workaround to set up Windows 11 without a Microsoft account

    Jump

  • I just last month tried out Bazzite for fun and haven't switched back. I feel like an idiot for sticking with Windows as long as I did. I was the metaphorical frog in the pot of water not realizing how shitty it had become. I guess I should be grateful there isn't any program I need that's Windows only because Bazzite is better than Windows in every way I can think of.

  • Comment on /r/BlueSkySocial: "why can't we have one single social media site with a CEO who isn't weird and bad" (one reply mentions Mastodon).

  • That's why this community exists to educate them!

  • You’re not thinking critically when you start from a conclusion.

    Agreed

    That’s the opposite of critical thinking.

    Agreed

    That’s literally just continuing to believe and not question something.

    Agreed

  • Did you write this with GPT? Skepticism and critical thinking are not biases.

  • Same, I was not a Twitter user but the user base did seem generally more educated and I expected them to more easily identify the problem. It's not even like Twitter was some pleasant, socially responsible place when Jack Dorsey ran it. It was terrible and platformed all sorts of terrible people and the media pointed that out constantly.

  • Is Bluesky about to implode, and if it does - would this mean refugees coming here in any numbers?

    Jump

  • Me and the tankies might not agree on the role of government in people's lives but we can (surprisingly) agree that social interactions should not be controlled by a CEO.

  • Bluesky is centralized service operated by a for profit company

  • I wish counter.social would federate. It would make me feel more comfortable recommending them.

  • I know right? Like it or not reddit is still the gravitational center...

  • If the management on BlueSky is getting bad users could just move to another instance right? ...Right?

  • Lemmy Development Update September 2025

    Jump

  • Audio file support in lemmy-ui.

    This is cool, I wonder if this could lead the way to podcasts being released on the Fediverse lemmy with comments directly under the release itself.

  • I do not consider critical thinking skills to be a "viewpoint". I consider them a requirement for intelligent conversation.

  • Nice thanks!

  • Talk about choosing "a community", not "a server"

    Jump

  • I agree with this! Each server can have radically different approaches to moderation depending on their goals and some instances will a much higher tolerance than others. "Community" puts the local first.

  • How the US got left behind in the global electric car race

    Jump

  • This quote from Ford's CEO:

    "It's going to be a vibrant industry, but it's going to be smaller, way smaller than we thought," Ford chief executive Jim Farley said at an event on Tuesday.

    Combined with the following quote he recently said:

    Speaking on the Everything Electric Show podcast, Farley praised the [Xiaomi] electric sedan. "I don't like talking about the competition so much, but I drive a Xiaomi," he said. "We flew one from Shanghai to Chicago, and I've been driving it for six months now, and I don't want to give it up."

    Really feels like Kodak in the 90's kinda-sorta investing in digital but not willing to fully transform a majority of business.

  • What are my OS options if I wanted to disconnect my TV from the internet, use it's remote via CEC with a Raspberry Pi, and watch Plex, Jellyfin and YouTube (with sponsorblock)?

    Jump

  • Ah ok I got it thanks, yes the goal is to replace the apps on my TV as seamlessly as possible.

    KDE bigscreen says it supports CEC but there is no official release yet. I still might give it a shot. I actually tried the Android TV you linked to (which also says it supports CEC) but it doesn't work. I know the hardware supports it because Libelec was seamless.

  • You're saying wayland is an interface that works with tv remotes and hdmi-cec? I looked it up and it seems to be not that.
