I used Linux daily for 20 years.

Linux may be ready, the mainstream software isn’t.

Are you working with Adobe? Good luck.

Want to play some multiplayer game? Good luck, again.

Oh yes, chrome and Firefox run fine. Just disregard LibreOffice, it’s disappointing.

Unfortunately not.

I say that not because I hate Russians.

I hate the Russians that fly to Maldives and act like they own the place and are constantly rude to Maldivians, other tourists and leave trash behind when they leave.

Despot of carpatia?

Sony Xperia 1 here, no app, neither.

If you had a Sound Blaster 16, you had an extra IDE port on the board, which DOS couldn’t see and you had to load special drivers to use them. Usually it was used for the CD-ROM.

You know that tool called stud finder that you use in America if you ever think about hanging a picture on the wall, or a TV, otherwise you risk your wall falling down with anything attached to it?

Never seen a stud finder in Europe.

The amount of energy wasted in America for all the houses with AC they have, could have propelled an entire society to Mars.

Time 2 years top, there will be an AI that converts perfectly COBOL into JavaScript.

Damn, should I load the mouse driver or the CD-ROM driver? If I load both, I can’t run strike commander!

With dos 5.x I started creating some fancy auroexec menu at boot that switches between several configurations depending if I wanted to run windows, need a lot of xms or a big chunk of Ems (640k was NOT enough for everything).

It was somehow fun.

But at least, if something is not working, it was entirely your fault. Now? It’s probably windows update who fucked up something you desperately need right now.

I think pişmaniye are better than Turkish delight.

There are pistachio Turkish delight. The traditional rosé taste is not for everyone.

The problem is consistency. Buy some Turkish delight in Istanbul and they’re ok, but some in Konya and they’re the sweetest thing you’ll ever eat, you cannot have them without some proper Turkish black tea.

Georgia has Paris, Athen and Rome.

Sony phones still have the SD card slot, also no notch, a headphone jack while still being water resistant and the RGB notification led, if you’re interested.

Of course they’re more expensive than an iPhone.

Sony phones are now 4k oled screens, but still have RGB led.

Redmi phones are still sold in the €200 range and while they’re not flagship phones, they’re perfect for everyday use.

Same, I recently upgraded from the Sony Xperia 1 to the 1 IV, it burns my hands at times but love all those features!

It’s not a cheap phone, tho.

I always say “if you look at it from the current government point of view, Luke Skywalker was just a terrorist.”

First, lemm.ee was my first ever Lemmy instance, loved it here. This site worked absolutely flawless so far.

So, my hot take: I discovered lemm.ee blocked Threads, fair, that’s not up for discussion from my side. Does anyone can suggest me a nice instance where Threads is federated? I’m curious about this infamous huge amount of content I cannot access from here (and no, Threads app is still not available in my country).
