  • I don’t think they would do that unless Lemmy continues to grow to a point where it challenges Reddit. Then it becomes a technical issue. I don’t think they can do that. It was one thing for threads to do it, being designed with that in mind from day 1, but it’s completely different for Reddit to do it. There are so many features that just wouldn’t make the jump, and so much content that would need to be reworked.

    If they were going to do it, it would most likely be a clean break where you just can’t access old Reddit content on Lemmy, but all their new stuff would be accessible.

    I also just don’t see them giving away their content like that after cracking down on the API how they did.






  • That’s fair, though we also don’t know how much this individual is getting from the welfare system. At the end of the day I’m far less annoyed by people like this than by billionaires or even just CEO-types who make tens, hundreds, or thousands of times what a normal person makes while providing arguably similar amounts of economic input.

    Additionally, while this person’s comment comes across as proud, they more than likely actually need the support the welfare system gives them. There’s probably a reason they only started relying on it since covid.

    No, it’s obviously better to have the choice (run the game or not). And losing a game that previously worked on Linux is obviously a bad thing, hence the joke about it being good.

    Of course you could argue that taking a stance against this kind of intrusive anticheat is good in the long run. If Microsoft had a backbone they’d do the same.

    But yeah losing games because of anticheat is obviously a bad thing lol. No need to take it so seriously.



  • I guess it’s just really hard to make an operating system. My work Mac also isn’t completely devoid of its own issues. Sometimes moving the mouse can be a bit laggy which is frustrating because I also have a personal Mac that’s not laggy, so again probably the work software.

    Absolutely agree it’s ridiculous that modern hardware still sometimes chugs when it’s thousands of times more powerful than what we had back in the day.


  • I’ve had the exact opposite experience. Have never had an app freeze my Mac but my windows computer freezes up at least once a week. Using both for work so similar loads but I guess it’s possible some of my work software is dodgy on the windows. Still probably shouldn’t lock up like that so frequently.
