I suspect they didn’t want to make it sound alarmist or something, but yes the real percentage is likely going to be higher, including a good chunk of “technically finished but remaining unused and forever idle on some box until it’s quietly shut down 5-10 years later.”

I could see some exception for windows 11 IoT being made, but I honestly don’t know.

Yup, I don’t watch his content, but looking at his actual viewership numbers, he doesn’t even remotely have the impact to make or break a petition by himself.

Genuinely kind of surprised they only met now, one would have thought that in over 30 years they would have run into each other at some point at some conference or other.

Conversely, I have seen this opinion expressed a few times. I can’t judge the accuracy but there seem to be more than a few people sharing it.

Obsidian hasn’t been an indie for at least 7 years now.

Oh absolutely, the moneyfurnace wikimedia foundation needs to find ways to justify its own existence after all (^:

Your custom FOSS rom won’t prevent the very much proprietary modem of your phone from communicating with the celltower.

Did the same thing the other day, there’s like some minor icon redesigns? Otherwise this mostly seems like people made up stuff.

I presume because due to it releasing in September, it’s lifetime will mostly lie in 2026. But honestly Idk, I am godawful at naming things.

Yup, and people seem to frequently underestimate how ridiculously expensive running a fleet of humanoid robots would be (and don’t seem to realize how comparatively low the manual labor it’d replace is paid.)

Luckily I wasn’t even using the UI in the first place, still, not a good sign and probably something to look into for replacement.

Yup, also especially for industrial applications, requirements and needs absolutely can change, and that means having to work around the equipment. I have seen firsthand the experience of trying to get new features into ancient applications. (Made worse by the fact that we took on support for it because the original company which had created the program had gone under).

Yeah, often learning anything more than the meme itself is that way, if only because you often find out about the rather sad route many of those early viral meme people went down.

My pet conspiracy theory has been that Elmo was hoping Trump would mandate that everything gov related has to drive Teslas.

The moment a certain company is mentioned in an article, lemmy will go rabid, it doesn’t really matter what the article is about. I am a Linux nerd and if MS crashed and burned tomorrow I wouldn’t exactly shed a tear but the knee jerk reactions are pretty weird to observe.

My money is on Clownflare, truly a match made in hell.

Clownstrike doesn’t know what that is, but they will be sure to ask an LLM about it some time!

Oh he’s been called out for that for over a decade now, it just got buried under the mass of starry eyed reporting.
