Okay but have you actually looked it up to make sure it's true? Never trust facts from random comments, no matter how reasonable they seem to be.
Windows' might be complex, but it is NOT graceful. If you have notepad open with unsaved text, then shutdown will never shut down - but nothing on the screen will make this obvious to a non-technical person.
I can hear this picture
I am so sick of this joke. Under every single post related to passwords, there's always someone coming in the comments saying ******* like you just did.
and Windows 10 is obviously so outdated it's not even worth including
ADHD memes is this way: !adhd@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Can I just say that is awful advice. There's an easy way to save it:
"Tell me where you are and I'll give you a few good options to start with"
When the poster is clearly a hopeless beginner this kind of response is useless and overwhelming in information that they have no chance of understanding.
You're not wrong but there is one thing: hitting the ground is an instantaneous impact with a hard surface. Being swooped in some direction is a relatively slower process - the swooper is softer than concrete, and the change in velocity is spread over a longer period of time (even if it's still "instantaneous" to the casual observer, it can be an "instant" 100 times longer than ground impact).
It's like landing on a mattress vs a hard floor - from a high enough height both are deadly, but I'd still pick the mattress.
He might, but that's the whole point of federation - there's hundreds of other instances (including the one you're using) that he can't buy all at once. If one instance gets taken over, Lemmy as a whole is still strong.
Even if he buys the organization developing Lemmy, I have faith the community will fork it and everyone will stop using Musk's version.
I've been looking for info about this for months, as it was obviously a part of the EU's anti-gatekeeping legislation from last year, but I couldn't find any info. Specifically I wanted to know which apps would be able to communicate with WhatsApp - Telegram? Signal? Something else?
And now that there's an article, it's behind a paywall...
Edit: managed to read it through Firefox's reader mode. Unfortunately they don't know, but not for lack of trying:
So far, it is unclear which companies, if any, are planning to connect their services to WhatsApp. WIRED asked 10 owners of messaging or chat services—including Google, Telegram, Viber, and Signal—whether they intend to look at interoperability or had worked with WhatsApp on its plans. The majority of companies didn’t respond to the request for comment. Those that did, Snap and Discord, said they had nothing to add.
The only service they mentioned that definitely will have chat interoperability is Facebook Messenger.... Yeah, no fucking thanks.
