1984, in Microsoft's Windows 12 is expected to be even worse than Windows 11, functioning as a paid "subscription service" or forcing users to watch ads in order to use it without paying

Last windows I used was Windows 7.

Great. XP in my case.

We are writing to inform you that we have discovered two Home Assistant integration plug-ins developed by you ( github.com/Andre0512/hon and github.com/Andre0512/pyhOn ) that are in violation of our terms of service

Did the guy explicitly agree to their Terms of service? If not, how can he be in breach of them?

cease and desist all illegal activities

What illegal activities exactly?

Feels like unenforceable scare tactics, but IANAL.

This looks straight up like Discord and i like it.

First micro was an Acorn Atom around 1981. First home built PC in around 1988.

Used Windows from the very early days of 3.0 when (Xerox?) Gem became the less useful competitor.

Around Win 2003, XP era they started taking useful functionality out or burying it and taking the useful KB articles off the net.

About that time I wanted to look at VoIP and stumbled into VoIP@home which was hosted by CentOS and I, initially, ran in a Win 2000 VM.

Not long after MS bought Hotmail and found that Windows servers couldn’t keep it going and they had to replace it with UNIX. Maybe that timeline isn’t quite right.

Started transitioning away from Windows that that stage and am so glad I did. I think Win 12 will just consist of a start button and everything else will require daily subscription.

From being a Win fanboy to just wishing he’d have taken the whole thing to that Epstein island with him and left it there.

I really like seeing codeberg being used more.

Also I’m definitely keeping my eyes on this repo once in a while 👀🧐🍵

I really wanted to like Matrix, but the clients applications are trash. This looks like it has a nice client app at least.

This app looks nice, but Element has improved quite a bit recently, and the others clients have improved as well

thanks_shakey_snake,

Yeah, I use Element daily and I’m pretty happy with it. I have far more problems these days with Discord than with Element/Matrix.

moonpiedumplings,

Yeah, unintentional bugs are much easier to deal with than maliciousness, like replacing the “file upload” button with buy nitro, or discord in the browser’s audio being finnicky (dark pattern you don’t get this problem on element or the discord app.)

Of course, there are unintentional bugs as well, on top of maliciousness.

Lmao. I’m guessing this is because they’ve begun to use LLM’s for moderation (maybe trying to replace real humans?), but LLM’s can’t really count.

thanks_shakey_snake,

Yes. I noticed my Discord problems uptick sharply when I uninstalled the creepy invasive desktop app and started only using it in the browser. Element just sometimes fails to upload a file or something, but it’s pretty stable for me lately.

Secret300,

Swear. I still haven’t found a decent client for matrix yet

Really good article, based af 😎🔥💯

YES I will spread misinformation on the internet

NO you cannot do anything about it

Thank you for promoting for Microsoft’s spyware-ridden operating system on the internet!

wmassingham, in Witchcraft | A Minecraft server written in bash

I missed the word “server” every time and thought it was a client, and spent far too long trying to figure out how you’d play Minecraft in Bash. Text based? ASCII graphics?

simple, in Microsoft's Windows 12 is expected to be even worse than Windows 11, functioning as a paid "subscription service" or forcing users to watch ads in order to use it without paying

This is just speculation based off of a rumor that was never confirmed.

RedArcher,
@RedArcher@hexbear.net avatar

Multiple other news outlets report the same information. Even if this remains unconfirmed for now, it is certainly not unreasonable considering the state of Windows 11.

Speculation based on trends of Microsoft’s shitty behavior over the span of their existence.

TxzK, in Microsoft's Windows 12 is expected to be even worse than Windows 11, functioning as a paid "subscription service" or forcing users to watch ads in order to use it without paying

Remember when they said Windows 10 will be the last version? lol

acockworkorange,

Didn’t they try to call it Windows X at the time?

ijhoo, in Microsoft's Windows 12 is expected to be even worse than Windows 11, functioning as a paid "subscription service" or forcing users to watch ads in order to use it without paying

ShepherdPie,

Well if it’s from a hexbear user you know it’s gotta be true.

lemmy_user_838586,

I’ve seen this opinion a few times so far about hexbear, so i gotta ask… wtf is hexbear.net? Is it like the equivalent of 4chan?

ShepherdPie,

Pretty much but they claim to be ‘communists’ (though realistically they solely support the Chinese and Russian governments and never actually discuss communism as an economic policy) and isolated themselves from the rest of the fediverse for years. Last year they finally federated with everyone and were quickly defederated by most large instances because they’re absolutely insufferable trolls who do nothing but fling feces and brigade in every post.

maynarkh,

One of the bigger communist instances, like Lemmygrad.

They are infamous half because they are a big instance with a shared fringe worldview that is anathems to liberal democracy, so when something pops up in their feed, cultures clash.

The other half is that at least some of their users do like to use alts to “agitate” which is mostly trolling.

Just remember youll only get one side of the story since most big instances blacklisted them.

Snoopy, in The issue to create a new main menu for Minetest has been open for 6 years.
@Snoopy@jlai.lu avatar

As a minetest player, the main menu screen work very well and only lack some option to filter servers by game and language.

So i understand if they prefer to focus on other issues.

lemmyvore, in Accessing NAS when not on LAN

If you have a public IP and can forward ports, exposing SSH (with key-based login) is quite safe. You can browse the server storage and copy files to/from your phone.

If you can’t open ports you will need something that punches out of NAT and intermediates a connection to your phone. Simplest way is to use a service like Tailscale, you install and start it on both the server and your phone and they will see each other from wherever they are.
