Wish I could stick to windows 7

Bring back XP. Win 7 is far better than 10, which is more tolerable than 11, but XP didn't have any of the multiple settings menu systems.

These days it's easy to license Windows, but hard to stop telemetry.

Microsoft actually charge you for the software you use, how can they maintain the illusion that you're exchanging your data for access to the service?!

$50 per year, minimum. That's how much data collection costs you. In reality, it's far more, as that number makes various assumptions and does not include the value of the data Google, Facebook and Microsoft collect and keep to themselves - >$50 is just what's traded openly on the market.

Microsoft charge $99 per year for Office, one of the main tools they use to collect user data.

Oh shit, @SuckMyWang@lemmy.world has been stopped mid-sentence and hit by one of Trump's Seal 6 teams!

He didn't leak Russian secrets because it wasn't newsworthy. "Of course Russia is corrupt." Also perhaps he hoped they might provide him more dirt on the US.

Assange is not aligned with Russia and has nothing to do with tankies. Frankly, you're the biggest extremist here, saying a journalist should rot in prison for what he published. Shameful.

Why should Johnson do anything that Greene wants when she's trying to knock him out of his job?

Granted, I'd like to see him go, but Greene is a much bigger turd.

Looks like a good extension, but I still think lemmy should have better native support. In general, more features from RES need to make their way over.

Yeah that's a bit of a faff, you need a nested link command I think.

All in all Lemmy just needs to support it better natively.

Dream Scenario is pretty awesome! Such a funky concept.

I agree, I mean it kind of sounds like they have something dodgy they're about to put out but they're playing silly buggers and trying to deflect the blame, else they would have released already and pointed to the lack of a store release as the stores' problem.

Desktop website. The images are there, but there's no way to expand. In particular, the main post image (rather than the ones in the post text) never expands right.

Hopefully the new UI's that people are making (shout out to /u/sunaurus@lemm.ee with his next-ui) will fix some of these issues.

Pretty sure they're signed by Microsoft instead? At least that's what other app stores do.

It's all a game of shifting the point of trust around. Personally, I'd trust most small time developers more than the likes of Microsoft and Google, however I'd trust Fdroid more than unknown developers (but still go direct to the developers I do trust).

One thing that annoys me about lemmy is that images are always shrunk down to a certain size limit, then there's no way to expand them without opening the image in a new tab.
