Same, it was pretty much an instant change too. Which sucked as Facebook chat was very unreliable at the time and obviously not very feature rich.

This is like the perfect comment as to why a lot of people find ml users insufferable and toxic.

I'm distracted how big that pile of wood is and how close it is to the rest of the forest.

A lot of car parks are becoming like this. It's especially frustrating when you try to download the app but you have no signal and there's no other way to pay.

And it's a behaviour that stems from the admins who'll ban users from the entire instance if they disagree with their opinions.

It's the only instance I have blocked at my account level so I don't see their communties.

They won't care or won't even notice these things. They'll open their laptop, book a holday or find some new car insurance or write a report of whatever and not even think about what the OS does. Unless they're someone who is already extremely sensitive over privacy of their data, you're not going to convice the average Windows user to switch to Linux.

When I was younger I used to use Ubuntu as my main OS for years, tried Arch for a bit - then went back to Windows. I haven't got the time or energy to be fucking about with things like that anymore.

Windows is for people who's life or personality doesn't reolve around their computer. It's just a tool to get things done and that's it.

I suspect most BMW owners won't care too much. Like they'll find it annoying but still buy/lease the car anyway.

(perfectly working) android phone that I had had for 6 years. The phone brand was not providing android updates for it.

I get it through from the banks perspective. The OS is no longer getting security updates, so this is a fault of the phone manufacter for not having a long term commitment to security and OS updates.

And the app itself required a code that I could only get by SMS.

Yeah this is pretty bad.

And I will be stuck with them for decades.

Why's that? I have my mortage through one bank but literally never use the actual services of the bank, I've never called them or used their app or logged into the site. My current account and savings accounts are with another bank separate to my mortage provider.

Also, won't you be able to change when you come to re-mortgage if another bank offers a better deal?

Our instance is federated with hexbear, lemmygrad etc. I want to be resonsible for what I see and block, I'm really not a fan of defederation unless it's a last resort (i.e. CSAM or other illegal content).

I did end up blocking the lemmy.ml instance though, fuck that place. I haven't even blocked hexbear or lemmygrad.
