lack of support for visual content

That sounds amazing

First-mover advantage.

The market is about to be flooded with Lemmy apps, many of which will be based on former reddit apps. And like it or not, most of these apps do ultimately exist to make money.

I would love one if they're still available

It's late. It was supposed to be April 1.

Nope. Been using the same installation of Windows 10 for years, and everything just works.

Even swapped the SSD from one laptop into another one. Added a UEFI boot entry, and it came right up.

I think the only problem I ever had was audio or Wi-Fi occasionally failing to work after resume. But that resolved itself after one of the major updates.

The only annoyance I've run into is the "Let's finish setting up your device" screen after feature updates. But you can disable that fairly easily.

I mainly use it as a glorified Chromebook though. Browser, Windows Terminal + WSL, maybe the occasional Inkscape or Lightroom. All the "interesting" stuff happens in Linux VMs atop ESXi running on an old desktop.

But for everyday use, it's nice to have something that "just works" when I pick it up.

I might check out Linux again in a few years though. From what I've read, PipeWire seems to be killing it in terms of progress on the audio side. So once the Wayland ecosystem matures, it should be fairly easy to get back that "just works" status with Linux.

In terms of performance, the main issue Windows really has is disk I/O. But a modern SSD fixes that easily. I am using a second-hand, nine-year-old Dell Latitude laptop, and it does everything I need it to do. Boots up in seconds. Has to stay plugged in though.

What about New Orleans or locations prone to extreme storms or hurricanes?

It has already been happening in New Orleans for years now. There are very few insurers left.

I don't know how to explain why, but this article reads like garbage. Not in an AI way though.

Calibri is so widely used that it even became a key piece of evidence in a corruption investigation surrounding Pakistan’s prime minister in 2017.

What?! Fascinating. I'll just click the link and... Oh.
