poverty; i couldn’t afford a windows license.

gotta make microsoft happy to help you survive as the world embraces ai for the same reasons they used to embrace your content.

even once you do get it; you’ll forget it and then you’ll see posts like this reminding you of it all over again. lol

ditto and it made me sad; i was afraid that the maintainers had become too ossified to embrace change.

thanks, now it makes sense and it’s a nice reminder of why i left the windows eco-sphere over a decade ago

if massgravel wasn’t doing their thing circa 2012, then i don’t know about it because that’s when i stopped used windows.

i left the windows eco-sphere around 12ish years ago and coming back has shown me that nothing has changed.

i don’t want to and that’s why i asked.

i stepped back into the windows eco sphere recently after leaving it 12 years ago and was wondering how people were getting around the activation now-a-days

we’re starting to reach reddit levels of unseriousness. lol

did you have to buy a windows license to do it?

file corrupted?

i can’t tell if you’re joking or not

Games used to hold me back also but sometime around 2005, I stopped updating my repetior and now even dirt cheap gpu’s have caught up w my needs; my last 2 laptops and desktop had Intel integrated graphics on the motherboard

i just got my first amd/ati hardware and it was nice not having to take an extra step to reviewi/set-up better nvidia support; the best available was automatically provided like the article says.

With the great upstream support for AMD Radeon graphics in the Linux kernel and Mesa, most desktop users / gamers / enthusiasts are best off just using the latest code shipped by their distributions

it got so bad for me in the past, that i just avoided nvidia the last 2 times i bought hardware.

it’s impressive how much work they put into that video; they deserve it.

Politics influences every single aspect of everyone’s life and is the core reason why Windows is so dominant on the desktop despite there being a significantly better alternatives w Linux.

Microsoft have long-demonstrated they could reach out the computer monitor and slap every user around a bit with a large trout, and still keep 95% of their user base.

so too can the democrats w their base. lol

i’ve used liberapay to support lemmy and now that i know it can do this, i’m going to see if it can do the other project work i also use heavily; thanks for making me aware.

gnome-tweaks used to be able to do this, but not anymore.

which one do you know about?

These are all important information to have at a glance, in my opinion. If you don’t think so, you can remove it. Simple as.

it would be better if you could autohide it. especially for low res screens like mine.
