No. No plans.

Gen Z.
Don’t care about generations too much. It just creates (often false) stereotypes, like any groups of people.

Yes, but at much higher cost.

OK, but seriously, X, Y and Z are these:

1. Reboot
2. DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
3. sfc /scannow

The only answers you’ll get.

user224 , 23 days ago to linux in Why do you still hate Windows?

Because for me Windows was not easier to use.

I only got my first proper computer in 2020, and comparing Windows 10 with Linux Mint 20, I found the latter much simpler to use not having used either one prior. Just having to bounce between Control Panel and new Settings, plus a lot of tutorials shown magic with registries…
Also, I had a lot of problems with uninstallers failing or not removing programs completely, and getting permissions to remove files directly was also pain in the ass, even as “Administrator”. That often resulted in me booting up live Linux DVD to remove crap programs from Windows.

I gave it a try, but I didn’t like it. Perhaps I’d like MacOS though. It seems similar enough. But Windows just feels like 2 decades of hotfixes glued together.

I know a young person will read this and think this won’t happen to them.

I rather thought “Huh, 30s is still young.”

That’s what a kid pretending to be an adult would say.

When I was your age, no kids did that, 'cause we had no damn internets back then. We had to actually walk outside to talk with others.

user224 , 25 days ago to asklemmy in how to disable self upvoting?

If everyone has their posts and comments upvoted by themselves by default, nobody can further upvote themselves (from that account), thus not getting advantage from self-upvote.

1 = 0

Do people not check what version of software they have and what’s newest (and if the issue exists is a good idea too) before reporting a bug?

user224 , 26 days ago to lemmyshitpost in Make it stop.

1. Slang spreads offline as well
2. The devices were TVs for a good while not too long ago

YouTube also supports longer videos outside of shorts. And they don’t even have to be in portrait mode. ^/j^

In case you’re serious, a video-centric social media. It focuses on short vertical videos. Naturally, they’re generally too short to have much useful information, so it’s mostly dumb addictive content, or straight up misinformation. It’s meant to feel like you’re not wasting time while you definitely are. “I am not spending 15 minutes to watch a normal video, I just watched a few (maybe 50) short (around 1 minute) videos.”

It’s like YouTube shorts.
