“He’s out of line, but he’s right.”
I would be down for some cajun-spiced KFC right now.
Ah, Russian boot-licking.
macOS? You gotta be kidding. Windows and Office is huge.
Just the entrenchment of Sharepoint and Outlook alone is enough to make switching to anything else a difficult prospect.
Spez has almost never had the gift of foresight.
“We need to be fair in our broadcasting!”
Yes, but you don’t have to platform Nazis.
They probably looked at Facebook’s latest dumpster fire involving hauling data outside of the EU and decided to just not find a workaround.
They don’t want users to be able to wipe their own chats manually or via GDPR requests.
If anyone asks, they will be told that the data is gone, but we all know that’s not the case. They do have backups.
Can confirm. Clearing cookies on Edge browser on Windows 11 fixed the login issue.
Some things to consider for your build:
Seeing as you also built your system in 2016, here are some other pointers.
You have reached the limits of what the Skylake platform offers. You don’t have Windows 11 support and your only choices will soon be running Windows 10 unpatched after 2025, or switching to Linux. Modern 2C4T processors are faster in games than your setup. You should think about a platform upgrade.
Obviously your budget will be a key aspect of this, but some pointers in general:
Make the jump to 32GB of RAM. Many games are able to take advantage of more than 16GB of RAM and that’s mostly due to how they are streaming assets and optimising performance.
SSD storage should be the default. This applies both for primary and secondary storage. A 2TB SATA drive for extra games or hosting media or things like that is always going to be faster than spinning rust, so don’t buy a hard drive for secondary storage unless you need more than 4TB of space for media.
Quad cores still have limitations. People buying Core i3 processors are still limiting their performance if there’s even a slight hint of multi-tasking. Only consider this if your budget is really low but even then, the Core i5-12400 is difficult to ignore.
With that said, here’s some options to think about:
Intel Core i5-13400 + ASRock B760M Pro RS/D4 + 32GB DDR4-3600 CL16 memory of some description
Intel Core i5-13400 + Gigabyte B760M AORUS ELITE AX + 32GB DDR5-5600 CL36 memory of some description
AMD Ryzen 5 7600 + ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 + 32GB DDR5-5600 CL36 memory of some description
Platform costs are more or less the same between the Intel and AMD option, and slightly cheaper on the DDR4 front. For longevity you want at least two M.2 slots and front-panel USB Type-C support if you also upgrade your case. You have some leeway on the budget for the CPU on the Intel side, as the Core i5-12400 is cheap and still very good.
Either of these setups will serve you a very, very long time. Likely just as long as your Skylake chip has already done (almost ten years!).
“Off the record” largely implies that an NDA would be involved, considering “confidential information that should not be shared with others.”
Meta’s decision to work towards federation does need to be taken with a lot of salt. Corporations using open platforms or open source to make their money has always resulted in power imbalances that, left unchecked, may become impossible to solve without concessions from said corporation, or else [X] thing just gets hung out to dry.
You have to hope the people running that company understand that these problems exist, and actively work against ruining everything for everyone else that relies on it.
For the longest time Twitter has been reportedly a fantastic place to work at, and they had some great engineers who would never be lured away to other companies for any amount of money.
Except for the unlikely scenario where Twitter is circling the drain and Meta comes in with an offer to build a competitor from scratch using all the tools at their disposal.
Which is strange because there seems to be support for notifications of a mention? Jerboa even has a section for it, but no one has mentioned me yet so I don’t know if it works.
My money is on Twitter employees and core engineers.
Oh so that’s what the Spider-Man meme was about. Zuck knew this was coming.
I feel like most of the useful Linux stuff just got yeeted from forums and into Reddit. If there’s nothing in the Arch wiki that’s easy to follow it’s a trying time to find answers that relate to your issue that are also up to date.
Well yes, it’s really difficult to switch when government only just managed to migrate to Windows 10 on most machines, and still uses Microsoft’s document formats for everything aside from PDF.
Up until a few years ago, UNISA was still using public-facing IIS servers and SARS was paying up the wazoo to maintain old Flash applets that people used to file their taxes.
One government department managed to waste R5 million on a WordPress website that used a $15 theme.
