This graph comes from Eurostat. It's funded by the EU, but all European countries can participate. That's why Norway and Switzerland are in the graph, even though they are out of the EU.

The UK just doesn't care being European, apparently.

I think media piracy is not only acceptable, but something that should be actively promoted by everyone. Piracy is the only way to preserve media for future generations.

I don't think autorun worked with floppy disks, only with CDs and USB units.

Yes, I remember the guy writing there. That was a serious website! But maybe he sold it to somebody else before Google completely killed their search engine.

Now, if you want to rank well on Google, you either have to churn out stupid articles filled with SEO junk every single day.

I tried in the past, but I think there were problems about the fact that the Windows partition is NTFS, if I recall correctly.

I'd really like to ditch Windows once for all, but I'm sure there's going to be some games that have problems on Linux.

Secrecy and bypassing court orders? It seems like illegal censorship to me.

I mean, macOS is not even 10% and most vendors release apps for it. So this is promising for Linux.

I dual boot. I use Linux most of the time for everything, but I switch to Windows whenever I want to play on Steam. I just don't have the time to bother with abstractions layers, drivers and whatnot, even if I read that Steam makes it easy to run Windows games on Linux now.

I don't think feature parity is the only problem here. Power users need information density and quick reactivity, two things that the new settings – with their huge buttons and useless animations – dearly lack.

I wonder if there would be a way to "embed" those old panel applets into the new settings somehow.

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 10 points 1 day ago

And if you can do it, it's complicated and convoluted. I miss Win32 settings panels, everything was so well organized and simple to manage.

I used to love HowToGeek, but I sadly see that now that's also enshittified (not the article you linked, but the most recent ones).

 

We've created an updated version of Beeper Mini that fixes an issue that caused messages not to be sent or received. We even added in a few new feature improvements: chats now open at the last unread message, and we polished the video player a bit!

 

We all saw in the news that Simple Mobile Tools got acquired by ZipoApps and they started filling up the free apps with ads.

Luckily, being those apps open source, a new fork has been created.

It's called Fossify. They forked all the apps on GitHub and they have a new maintainer.

Now we just need to wait for their first official release and then... we need to spread the word and make people switch from the old SMT apps to Fossify!

 

An interesting article that explains the importance of using DTOs (Data Transfer Objects) instead of plain associative arrays.
