Seems in this case they got own domains and independent stores.
And Aliexpress and Temu are very different. Aliexpress seems to be a halfway decent platform. Never had any major issues with them, except what's to be expected when importing stuff from China. I think it's very similar to ordering the same thing on eBay.
Temu isn't. That platform is made to harvest data and prey on their "customers".
And I can't comment on Wish. I haven't been interested in cheap crap.
Hmm, misst man soetwas nicht an Reichweite und Abrufzahlen? Die haben 14000 Views. Und wenn die 84GB an Speicherplatz stimmen, würde ich sagen man kann das für 7€ im Monat hosten. Mir ist jetzt nicht ganz klar wie man die Kosten/Nutzen Analyse anstellt...
Keine Anderen Leute veröffentlichten lassen macht alles einfacher. Dann sieht es nicht so aus als wären Videos Dritter von der EU abgesegnet. Und man spart sich 'ne Menge Personalkosten für Moderation, Support etc. Das was das teure an so Plattformen wäre.
Und dank Föderation können die Nutzer ja auch prima andere Instanzen verwenden und diese fokussiert sich halt auf EU Inhalte.
That's a lot of speculation. I'd like to learn the truth.
Wobei ich das auch asozial finde jedem eine App für jeden Pups aufzudrängen und einen separaten Login und Postfach für jedes Bankkonto, Versicherung, Krankenversicherung und Strom-, Gas-, Internetvertrag und man alle paar Tage eine Mail bekommt dass irgendwo ein Dokument in irgendeinem Postfach abgerufen werden muss. Mit einem Briefkasten war das mal einfacher. Und ich wundere mich z.B. wie alte Menschen am Leben teilnehmen. Oder Leute ohne Datenkraken ihre Freizeitbeschäftigungen buchen.
Gibt's ein Statement von den Betreibern von feddit.de was los ist?
I think using Cloudflare isn't very Fediverse.
You probably need to find a different instance.
I don't think it matters if you target hobbyists. But maybe for commercial use. Or if it's a library. Or if you're within a specific ecosystem like Android where people mostly have agreed on one specific license.
Isn't there quite some information missing? Which scheduler is affected? What are the are the exact consequences since we're talking about latency in the first part of the article. Did it affect the AMD Epyc processors that run all the VPS?
Falls sich noch jemand fragt, warum...
steht eine Finanzierungsrunde sei geplatzt und sie haben im Juni 2023 einen Insolvenzantrag gestellt.
People who need MS Office because once you have to collaborate with others Open/Libre/OnlyOffice won’t cut it;
The average user doesn't need specifically MS Office. But if they do, they do.
password manager via flatpak only
Use (always) your package manager. The trend of using Flatpak has severe downsides as you pointed out.
Virtualbox [...] GNOME Boxes
Use libvirt and the virt-manager UI
Adobe apps won’t run properly
Might as well be the case. I haven't tried.
Gamers because of the reasons above plus a flat 5-15% performance hit
My experience is the other way around.
old software / games because not even those will run properly on Wine
Old games don't run on a recent Windows either. I've tried.
electrical engineers as typical toolsets
If you need specific proprietary tools, you might need Windows or Wine. Depends on the specific use-case. But the 'average user' we're talking about isn't an electrical engineer. If you're a student, try KiCad it's not Eagle but it is something.
specialized hardware
You need specialized software along with the specialized hardware. Again, more niche than 'average user'.
AutoCAD isn’t available
Same. If you need special software, you need special software. It's arguable if the 'average user' needs exactly that. Special needs might render Linux unusable in your situation.
Finding a properly working FTP/SFTP/FTPS desktop client
My file manager does this. And it's more like the windows people do their webdev. I rarely work like this. I don't have a need for WinSCP on my desktop but webdev works fine.
Why do most people use Linux instead of Windows to host their servers, then? Why is almost all of the web powered by Linux if Windows is better? All the devs and sysops wrong? AWS? Almost all cloud services?
Software runs fine, all vendors support whatever you’re trying to do and you’ll be productive from day zero.
Really? I need to throw away printers because people update their Windows and the printer has no drivers available for the new Windows version. Printers stop after a service pack got rolled out and need fixing. People have Ransomware sent to them. Graphics drivers and sound drivers sometimes do silly stuff and don't detect the headphone plug properly. HDMI doesn't switch over to the projector. All sorts of small annoyances and they happen regularly.
It all comes down to a question of how much time (days? months?) you want spend fixing things on Linux
Agree. If you learned Windows and have no idea of Linux, you'd have to learn this now. It takes time. If you had learned Linux, you'd know where the logfiles are and you'd struggle with Windows. Sometimes learning new things (properly) is a good things. Sometimes you can't be bothered or lack time to do it.
TL:DR; the Linux experience might be great but it isn’t for everyone and anyone. If you need to do your job without small annoyances that will curb your productivity it isn’t, most likely, for you.
The 'average user' doesn't need all the specific tools in exactly that version. The average user needs an office suite and a browser, not Eagle and Adobe. If you live in one ecosystem and have to share stuff with your colleagues, you live in that ecosystem. I agree. I have far less issues with my linux machines and debugging is so much easier with them than the Windows machines and servers I had. It's sometimes been days of trial and error to tackle problems there while Linux usually has good debug messages available instead of 'Error 33492, program closed.'
The average user needs a stable and user-respecting system that get's out of the way. They need Office, a browser, E-Mail, a network-share and a working printer. All the specific tools and WinSCPs and so on are additional knowledge you learned during your times with Windows, while the average user struggles with their Antivirus. I agree, it's more complicated for you if you have 10+ years of windows experience and now try to apply it 1:1 to Linux. It doesn't work this way.
(My general advice is: If you want it 100% like Windows: Use Windows.)
Ich finde es auch sehr Schade, dass sie offensichtlich die Macht haben soetwas abzuziehen. Immerhin ist Lemmy jetzt die zweitgrößte Platform im Fediverse, und dafür müssen wir u/Spez vielleicht dankbar sein.
Für Reddit ist es 'nen Tropfen auf ihrem lauwarmen Stein. Ich glaube den absoluten Nutzerzahlen auf Lemmy kann man schlecht trauen. Aber Stand jetzt sind es knapp 70.000 monatlich aktive Nutzer^1. Das ist nicht einmal ein Bruchteil von einem Bruchteil Prozent von Reddits geschätzten anderthalb Milliiarden monatlichen Nutzern. Wir brauchen uns also nicht einzubliden der Firma irgendetwas wegzunehmen.
Meiner Meinung nach sollten wir das aber auch nicht. Wir müssen Reddit nicht nachmachen, wir müssen uns auch nicht damit vergleichen. Uns ist zwar vielleich nicht egal was 'dort drüben' abgeht, aber unser Fokus liegt darauf uns hier eine schöne Ecke im Internet einzurichten. Ich erzähle gerne jedem der/die zuhört, dass es Lemmy gibt. Aber sonst bemühe ich mich nicht neidisch zu sein oder auf die Menschen die dort geblieben sind herabzublicken.
Anon could ride a blimp. They're a thing.
