Microsoft is so confident in its desktop marketshare that they allow themselves to push the overton window on what users will tolerate.
The only competitor they can lose users to is Apple. And even then not everyone can afford an Apple computer, especially in the rest of the world
We need help communities on Lemmy. That’s what is going to make it rank in SEO and fly. Communities like software help (office, adobe creative products, etc), financial help and advice. And ask docs communities.
Memes won’t help SEO rank.
Aren’t apps on android hermetically sealed from other apps and malware. How could this be achieved ?
This makes sense as there still billions of other potential users around the world. Add to that the fact that other nations like content of their own cultures in their own languages. It means even if they will feel the change the platform won’t collapse because it is missing US users. Now If other countries follow in the US footsteps then it becomes a different story.
Linux Mint is king. The rest are imposters 🤪
With about a thousand new daily sign ups to mastodon it feels like it is going back to its rapid degrowth that it has been on before the Twitter debacle.
All you need is salt to make them taste like sea bugs.
I bet they can scrape Lemmy content for free then. There are no legal mechanisms to prevent them from doing so.
I know. I was talking about making it default. As many newcomers won’t know about it’s existence first hand, and give up on it
Yes some call it tabbed menu. Others call it ribbon menu. It should be the default as many users nowadays are used to this UX paradigm
Why libre office hasn’t adopted the tabbed many bar yet is beyond me ! They are probably not gonna be sued by Microsoft. It is just a huge ux improvement and would ease the friction for new comers especially that everyone is used to using tabbed bar on every other software.
:surprised pikachu face:
I bet scientists will find a workaround very soon.
If you need to use software professionally or in a commercial product, then go commercial.
I have been trying to switch to using more open source lately. And I couldn’t notice how more than 90% of projects I Land on are abandonware . and the rest are so slowly moving you shouldn’t rely on the for anything where security matters.
Stick with Foss projects that have a non profit behind then or a strong community of devs behind them. With a leat dozens of commits a month.
Hey Canada. Do something. Canada, are you ded ?? 🤣🤣🤣
Ubuntu. The whole interface paradigm puts me off.
Surprised a boring platform like LinkedIn has that many users.
Keep dumping your problems to Africa to deal with them. While keeping a hypocritical ecological front
This place shall not die. Keep the party going guys.
OEM have no incentive to ship Linux in their laptops. Plus they get discounts from Microsoft for using windows. So that’s not gonna happen
