I expect there are very few people running 7, and waaaay less running xp. I think most people have upgraded to 10 or 11 by now.

We all mourn in different ways. Here at the CIA we mourn by doing terrorism.

Yeah the nub invalidates the n. It’s the wrong shape.

I think your wife invented that

I don’t remember there being a similar CPU generation cutoff before. Your 7th gen intel laptop cannot install windows 11. So Linux is your only choice.

Yeah but half of that is a few nerds inflating the numbers with 10 thinkpads each running different linux distros

Hey that’s my password too

I used to work at the CIA. We did 9/11

They’re so gross lol

Yeah they want to make it too difficult to bother intentionally unsubscribing.

Federation will become part of our cultural language and people will come over at that point.

They’ll start setting standards, other instances will comply, and meta will control (or destroy) the fediverse.

You think we can’t get people to join lemmy unless our Genius Daddy Savior Zuck brings them in?

Nobody is suggesting that we destroy Threads. We just don’t want to let it control the fediverse.

They will start setting standards that other instances will be pressured to follow. Those standards will be mechanisms to control the fediverse and make it a data-gathering ad & sales platform.

This us exactly the threat. They’ll start setting standards that other instances will be pressured to follow. Those standards will be ways to control the fediverse and make it a propietary data-gathering and sales/advertising platform just like everything else.

Good news! Fuck Zuck!

The universe growing souls like flowers, or something

I don’t believe in a soul that’s separate from the body, or that lives on afterward. But the way that “inanimate” matter can spin up thoughts and feelings and a consistent personal experience that can last for decades… It’s almost fair to call that thing a soul. It’s fair to talk about nurturing your soul and growing a soul.
