You’d be surprised. I run a small IT business and I have many elderly customers on a fixed income. Linux is unfortunately not an option for most. Some have opted to buy a new or used W11 compatible PC, but many will be paying for extended support. For $30 for the whole year, it’s much cheaper than a whole new computer.
No updates for consumer versions of Win10. Including security ones. If on October 15th a zero-day exploit is out in the wild, Microsoft would not be obligated to patch it.
You said no updates for the consumer version, but there will be optional paid extended support available for consumer users who opt to pay for updates for a year.
I initially read this as Lucy Liu (the actress) and was very confused.
In addition to the front facing AI features, these days Windows 11 is less an operating system and more a ‘suck as much data about this person to train our AI models as we can get away with’.
I’ve been out and about all day, and can’t check my desktop. But when I looked earlier this week, I found it by searching for “group”. AI tab group something or other.

Suits or Suits LA. Catchy tune
Yes, Intro Skipper plugin. It’s awesome.
I like and use Thunder. It’s cross platform on iOS and Android so I get the same consistent interface from my iPad and my android phone.
Sounds like it might be a hardware problem. Is it still under warranty by chance?
Any specific examples?
I prefer it too, and I’ve tried most in this thread. It’s customizable and it has a similar feel to Relay for Reddit which is what I was used to. It also is cross platform on iOS and Android so I get the same UX on my phone and my iPad.

Nice job articulating your arguments. Now that you’ve explained your stance, it can foster better discussion.
Since this explanation is so far down the thread, I suggest editing one of your more top level comments to include these points for better engagement.
I will say this: the whole point of Lemmy and federation is to have control. Each instance gets to choose what’s important for them. A singular UX experience isn’t possible by design. But that’s not to say there’s no room for improvement.
Thank you for including sources, this was my point to AnonymousWolf.
I should have said “they may not be the same” as I didn’t check either. I stand corrected.
Why are you passing off the onus of proof to me or others in this thread? It’s your argument.
Just google ‘Good UX principles’ and you’ll see Lemmy breaks so many of them
No thanks, I’m also a decades long IT Professional and I’m not going to do that. It’s your argument so your burden of proof.
Lemmy breaks basic UX principles the UX is bad on multiple levels
Again, please feel free to cite specific examples.
I don’t have any data to back it up
That was my point. A number of times in this thread, you’ve stated your opinion as “a fact” or expressed it as obviously correct. It’s possible to get your point across without the condescension and acknowledging it’s your opinion.
I agree that the nature of federation on Lemmy and other federated social networks is complicated. Resolving that is no easy task. However, your stance in this post seems to be the burden of choosing your instance should be removed or streamlined by randomization. I personally disagree - while there is a hurdle to having to choose an instance and that is a barrier to entry, it’s also valuable in them learning that this isn’t just another platform under a single umbrella.
