ArachnidMania , 1 month ago (edited 1 month ago) to technology in Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling

Not the original poster, but my experience was fairly smooth. I had minor issues with wifi drivers, and I got a new GPU that had some driver issues because it was pretty recently released (I guess the open source drivers didn’t have time to be updated?). In terms of actual gaming, basically no issues. I mainly use steam and proton has been bliss, I’ve bought multiple games without even checking compatibility, and it just works. To my knowledge there is only one old game where the multiplayer doesn’t work, but everything else has been seamless. Mint cinnamon is what I’m currently running.

I think it’s because some people are holding their signs with no bends directly at the camera and no light glare… It looked odd to me at a glance too.

I thought that was the intention?

A double meaning icon, since the comma is used in writing on a text platform. I thought it was more creative than all the other soulless corporate minimalism.

Sounds exactly like Canada’s residential schools. Which is considered an attempt at genocide

There is little argument other than whataboutism and ‘I have a black friend’ here. I am aware it’s not a popular view on lemmy.ml, but these multiple things can be true. Western countries can totally be anti Chinese, other Muslim countries can totally be racist to other Muslim’s of the ‘wrong race’ just as much as a Christian. It does not change what is occurring in the xinjiang region. An individual can assess the actions and history of an organization without being themselves group into another organization they may or may not belong or support.

Bruh, they don’t need zionists when they can, themselves, be super xenophobic by themselves. Their treatment of Uyghurs does not inspire confidence that any actions made won’t be in benevolence to the suppressed.

ArachnidMania , 4 months ago to games in EA flop Immortals of Aveum reportedly cost around $125 million, former dev says "a AAA single-player shooter in today's market was a truly awful idea"

I think they mean single player shooter is their favorite genre, and would be happy for EA to stay away from them. Not the ‘game nobody heard of’

I’m assuming the human trafficking ‘influencer’ Andrew Tate. Flaunted as a male life advice guru, showed money around, bragged about having expensive cars. But is now awaiting a human trafficking charge, because surprise, he’s a horrible human, and that’s what is a ‘role model’ to some people.

I’m pretty sure I remember reading that identical plot of relationshipadvice on the site-that-shall-not-be-named. 90% chance it was fake but the ending was a nice read with the guy realizing he’s bi, and actually hits it off with one of the guys his mom picks.

Having other areas of your field with better pay/conditions/benefits can put more pressure on even non union places. Since there will be better contions elsewhere, there will be an expectation of a level of compensation/more people looking at those union places, requiring even the non union locations to at least increase something to compete for talent.
