Might even end up with Suse shops outside of Germany lol.

Every server I run has been Ubuntu LTS since 14.04. I always read articles like this and wonder, "what are people who have this problem running?". Especially now-a-days where web services are always packaged up into Docker containers.

By 2015 I would have readily agreed to something like "It's the promised land where dependency hell and version conflicts are mere whispers of the past. Just imagine the pure bliss of a package management utopia that will make you question your life choices up until this very moment.".

Who are these people having dependancy issues now? And what are they running?

Studies that don't control well for gender and income desparity can show effects somewhat like he describes here.

Richer students have more time and help with homework, and are therefore often better handwriters. Similarly, girls get into university at higher rates while also having better handwriting.

It's all unrelated to the actual skill of handwriting, but it's the perfect half truth / whole lie for boomer losers who want to pass a "kid's these days" bill.

Twitter had to kill 3rd party apps twice in order for the mastodon migration to happen. First they did it in 2011 and then again after Elon bought the company.

I imagine a true Twitter > Mastodon level migration away from Reddit won't happen yet. But once they inevitably dump old.reddit.com, it might.

It's always interesting to see this perspective as I basically feel the exact opposite. I use an iPhone, and have an Android phone as a test device for work. Generally, my iPhone and Mac are so much easier to use together than an Android phone and Windows or Linux PC.

Universal clipboard and AirDrop are built into the OS and way better than KDE Connect. Shortcuts is also much easier and more powerful than Tasker. Plus excellent apps like Prologue, NetNewsWire, Ivory, or Elastic Drums have no parallels on Android.

For whatever reason, iOS users are more willing to pay for software and that makes the software available on iOS significantly better.

Good point. Even if they try to come back the workload will make it seem like less.

This is correct. It's not a Spotify feature.

It is a feature on Apple Music, but it's only possible to upload the music from the Mac app (in my experience).

You and I must have been in opposite threads there. Because it was weird, but in the opposite way you're describing.

Once saw one where I guy's wife let her sister something close to 1% of their savings because both the sister and her partner had been laid off in one month. The guy went ballistic and move everything out of their joint accounts into ones under his name only, and gave her a strict allowance. People on reddit were telling him that's nowhere enough, he should apparently divorce her right away, and maybe sue her.

They were also convinced that because of this one short term loan the SIL and BIL were now going to think he's a sucker, and they'd move in.

It was weird. Those places often get weird though because people in healthy relationships, or single but happy about it, just don't show up. So you just gave a cycle of people unhappy with their personal relationships goading other equally unhappy people.

Using the AI to impersonate his voice was a nice touch.

I'm not sure how many users will actually stay away. But if even a small fraction of the mods for these big subs stay away Reddit's gonna have a problem.

Lemmy will pull some mods away, traditional forums will pull some away, and that could really hurt.

However, only time will tell if that ends up happening.
