It means you can run apps without trusting their developer will full access to your computer and your files.
Just like on mobile, you only allow apps to access what you know they need. Nothing more.

In France everyone has to fill a tax return. It will be prefilled with your salaries, but you still need to add deductions (for example house renovations or child care) or special revenues like real estate.
But yeah, if you only have salaries and no deductions you just validate your prefilled return and be done with it.
Level 70 corresponds to distinguished engineers, very few engineers have that level at MS (and Google etc). You don't get hired at that level unless you're already a computer science celebrity.
And yes you have to stick around because the 310k of stock will likely come with a vesting schedule, usually 4 years, i.e. you get 1/4 after one year and the rest gradually over the course of the 3 remaining years.
It's bigger than the base pay because stocks is basically the company printing money. Also it's only an initial grant, while the salary has to be paid every years until the contract is terminated.
How many of them are well fed kids who don't need a smartphone yet?
My experience with "real" people is that they don't even see the difference. Only so-called "Windows power users" are annoyed.
I got my mother a Chromebook and she used it for years, even tried to explain her it was not the same as her previous Windows PC she never understood it was not the same.
Yes it's PC for me too. Steam Deck with GeForce Now for the most demanding titles.
If there was any potential in a "metaverse", it would be picked up by people who know how to make something fun. In Silicon Valley or somewhere else.
That's not happening because the metaverse is pointless. Most people prefer having multiple tabs in a browser to do online shopping, chatting with friends, etc rather than moving a 3D avatar from a virtual supermarket to a virtual cafe.
Yes, it wasn't always the case. I was in the Silicon Valley in the 2000's and it was full of techies who really believed in the open web, and even Google was a proponent of open standards.
A few years later it seems like the tech matured enough that being technically savvy was no longer necessary to be a successful founder. Slowly it stopped being about technical innovations and became about raising money, product marketing, A/B testing, etc.
In my experience as soon as they get a web browser, people don't care. Most people are lost when they have to deal with the file manager on Windows anyway...
I understand that people play games on Android.
What I don't understand is people who would look at "gaming performances" for a phone or decide on a model based on that.
Yes, the good old "the more you spend, the more you save!"
AKA you spend more but you get some much more value that actually you're saving (no you're not).
Not all leavers join Lemmy, I'm pretty sure some just stopped and found other things to do with their life.
