I haven’t had issues running a few things I needed within a VM. However, those tasks aren’t demanding.

Looking at you “iCloud for Windows”.

Ooh yeah, I never thought about that. While I disagree with some of my funcitonals, I don’t die inside knowing it’s going to be painful to people viewing ads.

I once was so enthusiastic about Fedora…

Well, for example, Android phones need to be rooted for full system access, for example. That’s a series of hoops to jump through. Same goes for installing a malicious .apk. A windows user just needs to click through a AUC prompt and the lovely has keys to the city. That’s before we touch the wonder that is admin PowerShell.

I suppose the ratio of how much knowledge the average person knows about tech to “dangerous” behavior naturally taught by the OS is higher, I suspect, on Windows.

That’s what I hoping for, because it’s sick being nearly up to date while being so stable and user friendly at the same time.

Me, on Fedora, wondering when the wiretapping begins.

(I’m hoping they step it back, else it’s Debian for me 🙃)

I agree, but I’m just spitballing why others could potentially see Meta joining the verse as a positive.

I think it’s the impulse to have the Frediverse grow, but it’s a bit of a Trojan horse innit?

Oh wow, I didn’t even consider checking for updates while I’m working from home.

What did the Lemmy meme go nuts on Twitter or something?

Don’t go on that place so I may be put of the loop.

All hail the UNIX and UNIX-like.

I just want Macs to get gaming support cause Native games ran really well on my MBA. Which was mindblowing, not having a fan and all.

Strangely enough, because I’m finding it to be more stable than Windows.

My work laptop has the Bluetooth or Internet service just cut out without any explanation. The first reboot doesn’t fix it, but for some reason the second does 🤷‍♀️

Cheers, thank you.

To our lesbian mothers.

I never considered to do that. Do you stick to the stock OS or do you use another?

Boxers-while-working gang rise up.

Deal breaker, not at all. Though, back when I had an iPhone I knew immediately I’d have to have another “Which of the five messaging apps will I need to preen through” conversations, since iPhone users in the US fall back on iMessage mostly.

Now, on the flip-side, what was extremely annoying about using the fruit device was assumptions others made about me in techie circles. Some of which appeared within these responses. That I was tech illiterate, vain, or a fan-boy of some sort. It simply did what I needed while carrying wonderful resale value and support times.

You can ‘sideload’ apps, but your phone needs to check in with a computer every ten days.

Launchers are no where to be seen. I’d imagine if you jailbreak it you could.

Custom roms: nah that ain’t happening on an iPhone. Which is a shame, it’s the best hardware in the space, and iPadOS, for example, is currently holding back the tablets.

Piracy: You can run transmission as a cli on an iPad.

I’m on a Pixel right now and it’s pretty much the same experience. I nearly missed a time-sensitive job offer had I not been using my iPad a few moments before going to bed. My phone didn’t serve the notification nearly all day despite being given permission to do so!

Yeah… I just wanted to connect my phone via adb. Ended up removing myself from the sudo-ers group. Since I did not know how to fix this problem at the time this caused a fresh install.

Ah, thank you for explaining. I don’t follow Linux news as closely as I should, and I wondered if this affects me because I use Fedora.
