Load “*”,8,1 - However, this would not open a specific program, just the first file on the specified drive (if I remember correctly). For a specific program, you would have to name the program.

you’ll end up better

…maybe not if you are part of that bubble in some way, e.g. by participating in the corresponding stock markets that are currently dominated by those tech companies.

What would be the main difference compared to Matrix, which also claims to be “an open network for secure, decentralised communication”?

It’s not a bug - it’s a feature!

Basically it was just a dotted line around your text. But in German it was called something like “ant platoon / queue” or such. I think this function existed between Word2000 und Word2007 if I Google correctly.

There was a function in WORD, where ants could walk around your text…

TL;DR: Tech billionaires like Karp see the rest of humanity as their worker bees.

Librewolf as well!

Why should I? Actually, after reading the article, not just the headline, it left me rather worried. All available resources are being pumped into “AI” now, for the convenience of chatting with ChatGPT about everyday stuff, for creating Grok bikini deepfakes or Copilot MS Paint memeslop.

With the effect of computer hardware, like CPU/GPU, RAM and SSDs becoming unaffordable for normal users (and thus normal PCs which need those components), some day users might have no other choice than owning just a “stupid” rig of mouse, keyboard and screen with all computing happening in some “AI cloud”.

Sounds to me like some top-level enshittification!

I think all of these platfroms live from the engagement of the users there. I like Lemmy, but I’m also still on Reddit, because in some communities, there’s just so much more activity on Reddit than in the same community here.

Technology, UI and everything is fine and important. But if the place seems rather dead it will also struggle to attract new users.

MAGA History on January 6 will probably be like:

I actually have Firefox also installed on that machine, but some (internal) sites work better in Edge, so I mostly use Edge on that PC.

I use it on my work PC and I have to admit that it’s not that bad…

Since security patches are not being deployed on a daily or weekly basis, you should be fine for even more than a month. Eventually using Windows 10 for security or privacy relevant activities, like banking, e-mail or such will become dangerous as more and more unpatched weaknesses might evolve.

As long as there are no nipples to be seen…

They don’t listen all the time, only when you say “Hey Cortana / Hey Siri”. But in order to hear that command, they probably have to listen all the time…

ehm.

CILF = China (Shenzhen) International Logistics and Supply Chain Fair?

Orwellian surveillance dystopia.

I’m on a Mac, so I have to wait for the FreeTube community to fix the problems getting imposed by Google that is putting all it’s efforts in further enshittification of the YouTube API as it seems.

Well, cooking your music leads to some nice results, too.
