@amy Windows 15 will be a flavour of Ubuntu, and the Windows DE will be installable on most distros. MS aren't really that interested in making Windows.
@jwildeboer I just don't trust race conditions about asking aps to have a consistent state and taking snapshots. Being confident the backups actually work when doing them live takes a lot more testing than I'm doing for self hosted things.
@whitequark@xgranade More it has infinite payment processors (reality it has several), but that means they are incentivised to process all transactions.
You also have a whole host of reasons to not use it for a multitude of ethical reasons
@alcinnz And some of the time we should ask why we are blurring. Some of the time we blur we should just set all the pixels to 0 instead (and that is even faster :) )
@notjustbikes The 'most livable city' ranking was intended to be for a business man visiting on a work trip. That is rarely mentioned when discussing them.
@jmjm@infobeautiful Sell enough shares to pay the (low, because it is a safe secured loan) interest, pay a little tax on that. This puts your effective tax rate at (interest rate * capital gains tax), which is *very* low.
When you die your estate probably pays capital gains taxes, but you have probably set up some trusts to avoid that.
@rimu@mastodon.nzoss.nz@rimu@piefed.social Threads starting with nothing but a link to lemmy and replies with pictures not having the picture are the federation issues that annoy me the most with Lemmy.
Hey fellow Australians and Kiwis (or anyone with knowledge of this area), what are the best options for print on demand shirts and such when only concerned with servicing ANZ (and maybe some other smaller nearby nations)?
@alcinnz I encountered a website implementing it's own loading animation yesterday, replacing the browsers own with no improvement in functionality. This was a pretty traditional webpage, not an app.
@alcinnz Web app level of up to date is really only something that appeals to companies wanting to not support old software.
Which I fully understand. But that isn't usually in the end users best interests.
I do like keeping software up to date, but the NixOS model of 'everything gets updated, or nothing does' is pretty appealing. It should reduce the instances of an update breaking the interactions between applications.
A melbournian with many interests:* Christian (very liberal)* Embedded Rust Engineer* Magic The Gathering judge * Board gamer* Keyboard enthusiast (DIY, very small, Colemak)* Getting into 3D printing, supporting the keyboards and gaming.* Father of 2 kids (2018 & 2020)* NixOS user (awaiting alternatives for community reasons)All too often I come off as argumentative, I'm working on it but definitely a work in progress.
