Barring environmental concerns, no, I don’t think so.

Many companies hoard IP like dragons hoard gold.
Going bankrupt? Cool, I’ll buy you for pennies on the dollar. What am I doing with your IP? I sit on it with the rest of my IP. Because maybe somewhere in the future I might make a little extra cash off of it. No, I do not intend to ever sell any of the media I own the rights to! I’m too greedy for that, you cannot even look at my IP!

- Comment on Amazon thought it would be a good idea to not include subtitles in a film made entirely with sign language. 1 week ago:
Oh I hate that. Netflix animes are super bad about it. I wish they’d have the subbed English dub as well instead of a translated sub.
- Comment on Amazon thought it would be a good idea to not include subtitles in a film made entirely with sign language. 1 week ago:
Oh if only. I’ve seen two tracks on occasion on streaming services but it’s extremely rare. I think it was on Netflix or Prime and it’s been years since I’ve seen it. As someone who is not hard of hearing but just has a little trouble understanding sometimes it’s very useful to have the option that’s exclusively dialogue.

Imagine me opening Lemmy during my pre movie piss at the urinal only to see this. I hate how accurate this is, but it’s amazing. I get nervous pee sooooo bad. It’s like everything just freezes up lmao.

Blahaj as a whole was blocked.

Was that another banned phrase? lol. The thorn stuff was sort of annoying to me too, but the idea of outright, blanket banning it (and deceptively and silently) is crazy.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
No, it was a separate filter with phrases they didn’t like. Some were political or violent, others were just odd.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
All this from the one who thought people saying “perchance” deserved to be treated the same as the so-called violent extremists. Stopping people from saying “perchance” isn’t fucking “saving the fediverse.”
- Comment on Carenheit 2 weeks ago:
62% humidity outside right now, 99° F “real feel”, 92° F “real feel shade”. 88° F actual temp.
I think what folks from not humid places don’t realize is how hot the shade is. Shade is always better than sun, obviously, but it sort of only takes the feeling of the sun against your skin. The air is still hot. I’d compare it to a sauna sort of. Like it’s still stuffy.
The first time my wife went to somewhere that actually has dry heat she said it was amazing. She was actually cold in the shade. Not just cool. That concept is so foreign to me.

- Comment on Just got arrested for a supposed DWI even though I blew a 0.0000000. Don't cops need to read your Miranda rights to you? I asked for a blood or hair follicle test and I was denied. WTH is happening? 2 weeks ago:
Field sobriety tests are always voluntary
It may not always be so simple. In my state (Georgia) there is “implied consent” (yes, disgusting term) to breathalyzers and refusing one gets your license suspended for a year.
- Comment on Are modern electronic devices (i.e. cell phones) still susceptible to damage from magnets? 2 weeks ago:
I really don’t know to be honest. Could be both. It’s not something I’ve personally tested lol.
- Comment on Are modern electronic devices (i.e. cell phones) still susceptible to damage from magnets? 2 weeks ago:
I got permanent damage on a CRT by playing with some magnets neat it. Never left them around it overnight or anything. They were the magnets from the magnetic beyblade arena lol. The sides of the screen got sort of more red. If bright colors, especially white, were on those areas for a long time they’d get progressively more discolored. It would fade back to its mostly normal dull red shade after some time without the bright white. So it wasn’t the worst damage ever, but it was definitely permanent damage and definitely noticeable.
- Comment on Are modern electronic devices (i.e. cell phones) still susceptible to damage from magnets? 2 weeks ago:
Magnets can damage CRT televisions and mechanical hard drives (not solidstate ones I don’t think). I’m not necessarily going to test it by rubbing magnets all over, but for the most part those two things have fallen out of use. Tech is a lot less… Moving now. I guess is a good way of putting it. With hard drives specifically it would cause the arm inside to move and scratch the disk.

It’s subjective. I’m not trying to be dismissive or something, but it’s that simple. Windows is more successful than Linux for what Microsoft wants it to be more successful at.
I’m not saying Windows is better. I like Linux more. I use it. I’m just saying that for the personal computing market share that Microsoft wants, Windows is more successful than Linux.
To be honest, if Microsoft wanted to affect other stuff with Linux, they’d probably just contribute the changes they want into it. It wouldn’t surprise me if they already did. They contributed many features to git for things they wanted to use in git.
