Because it's clearly the best for numerous reasons.

  • when the 4 digit year is first, it's obvious month is second. So 2024-01-02, for example, is definitely jan second and not Feb first (unless you're insane)
  • you can name things with the date first and an alphabetical sort will automatically sort the files by date (you can't always sort by date and sometimes you actually want a mixed sort like this

For people who value reading: if they have no books on their shelves. They might be avid readers of ebooks, or just use the library.

But this should clear itself up with a rather simple discussion started by mentioning a book you read recently.

Also for security cameras, connect them to something like a Synology NAS so you have the recordings locally and then configure a firewall to block the cameras from any internet access.

Viewing the cams remotely just means using a VPN to connect to your network and then connecting to the NAS.

It's possible to maintain privacy/control and still use modern tech.

But the good news is that it'll be the coolest year for the foreseeable future 🙂

It would help all of their competitors. A non zero number of people would move from windows to each of the others.

Whether or not the number moving away from windows and on to each of the others is significant or not is a different matter.

The biggest thing helping Linux right now is Valve's work improving the gaming experience, IMO.

I just don't understand how people find accounts they like to follow.

My favourite way to teach how averages aren't always the perfect metric is:

Most people have higher than the average number of arms.

It's not because of commercial real estate that offices are forcing people back.

It's simply because managers who are in charge of making that decision prefer to be in the office.

They like everyone in the office, so they're forcing it on everyone. Either because it makes them feel more powerful to look at all their underlings, because they enjoy working face-to-face (probably how they got high up in the company), or because they suck at their jobs and can only micro-manage by looking over people's shoulders

I feel like most people who get their news primarily through Facebook, are horribly misinformed.

So maybe this is a good thing?

Isn't it focused on negative news about musk? Which I enjoy, not gonna lie.

Things like weather will be fine unless you have an unreasonable boss/job.

But people should only use work computers the way they would if they knew the entire company was watching a live stream of their desktop.

Even for working from home, I put my work laptop on the isolated guest wifi because I don't trust them the same way they don't trust me.

Your fundamental premise is wrong. We do have knowledge about it because it's supposed to be the same app it was before. But lemmy instead of reddit.

And we're not talking a AAA game here where it'll cost 60 dollars and there's no reason to prepurchase. Apps are usually cheaper than a coffee.
