OEM have no incentive to ship Linux in their laptops. Plus they get discounts from Microsoft for using windows. So that’s not gonna happen

Microsoft is so confident in its desktop marketshare that they allow themselves to push the overton window on what users will tolerate.

The only competitor they can lose users to is Apple. And even then not everyone can afford an Apple computer, especially in the rest of the world

LineageOS kinda dead these last years they only do pixel phones. While the hoards of people using android are buying Samsung’s and Xioami’s budget phones

Edit: after reading the comments. I checked again and was surprised they have updated the list with newer models they weren’t on the list a few months ago

Are you using the eternity app ?

Cause I have noticed deleted comments showing up as blank. While on the web version the show up as “deleted by Creator”

We need help communities on Lemmy. That’s what is going to make it rank in SEO and fly. Communities like software help (office, adobe creative products, etc), financial help and advice. And ask docs communities.

Memes won’t help SEO rank.

You do you. And you have to take into consideration what your goal is by learning Arabic.

Dialects are definitely easier to learn and more rewarding as it allows you to converse with people and test your advancements. But you won’t be able to easily transition to another dialect. Because MSA is the glue that make the intelligible.

Learning MSA will take you triple the time. And I imagine your teacher is both proud of his dialect. But also doesn’t want you to drop learning if you were to have chosen MSA

We only refer to MSA when talking about Arabic. Most Arab speakers consider dialects side languages to Classical Arabic. They have never had a transcription throughoutout history. People started writing in their dialects only recently with the arrival of SMS and the internet.

I get that as a new comer to Arabic you probably have come across learning materials for dialects like Egyptian and levantine. But in reality you won’t find uni courses for those dialects because academics don’t consider them to be proper languages with clear grammar and an established vocabulary.

Languages with phonetic writing in the modern day likely achieved that through a language standardization process that included spelling reforms.

Not Arabic. It is pronounced as it is written. Except a handful of words that have a different transcription to make them easily distinguishable.

Those women don’t deserve you. Live your life for your own enjoyment. But keeping a healthy weight is important to enjoy your later life.

Aren’t apps on android hermetically sealed from other apps and malware. How could this be achieved ?

I struggle to make my mum take my advice about subjects of my field of expertise for which I had spent 5 cruel years at Uni. So I am at peace now not being able to make my point across the internet.

The problem with Lemmy and with reddit too. Is that conversations Die off or stale too quickly. Reason being most engagement happens with older more upvoted comments. And newer contributions don’t benefit from the same exposure. Which doesn’t give much incentives for people to comment. Which in return deplets the platform of its userbase. Lemmy apps should ship with viewing newer comments by default to combat this. And Lemmy users should also change this setting in their apps.

Linux Mint is king. The rest are imposters 🤪

The send of novelty and usefulness that came with the use of the internet. Especially with things like messengers. Irc. Forums and online multiplayer games.

With about a thousand new daily sign ups to mastodon it feels like it is going back to its rapid degrowth that it has been on before the Twitter debacle.

Some teachers deserve all the good in the world.

I know I shouldn’t dunk on free software. But I have never been frustrated by a software before like I was with blender. Everything seems half developed. And I always need hacks I never knew I needed to complete the smallest of projects. Modeling tools are half finished.

Like try to snap the knife tool to the midpoint of an edge? no luck. Try to constrain the knife direction to one of the vertex directions ? No luck. Try to make the curve profile width consistent in 3d? no luck . do proper precision modeling ? Impossible . snapping in unreliable half of the time. and on and on and on .

I am very grateful for the free software and the devs hard work. I bet trying to make blender do many things at once keeps it in a state with many unfinished tools .

Isn’t it the case with western Europe. Like don’t most British people who don’t have mixed origins speak only English. Or nearly hold onto what they have been taught at school

Monté Christo was quite skillful.
