Bill Gates? I don't think he is really involved much with Microsoft anymore. He stepped down from the board of directors in 2020.

You could set your browser to clear all cookies when you close it. That does mean you have to keep logging into sites every time you open the browser again, but with a password manager that's not really a problem.

I don't think they make money. It's an open source project where people donate their time as far as I know.
EDIT: I forgot to mention you can donate to the project. Something has to pay for web hosting, I guess.

It's just a huntsman spider. Extremely common and totally harmless to humans. They can run really fast though, and the way they move can look a bit freaky.

I built a new PC two months ago and it's the first time I didn't get Office. Libre Office has everything I need and it's free.

The Ryzen 7 5700G only supports PCIe 3.0. Your GPU is PCIe 4.0 so you may lose some frames as the connection will be downgraded to PCIe 3.0. Same for your SSD, it will be downgraded to a PCIe 3.0 connection.
I have a 6750 XT, although it's the Asus Dual version. Goes hard. I use it for 1440p gaming and it's performing well. (Has some coil whine in certain scenarios, though.)
Finally, unless you are really set on the ITX form factor it may be worth going to micro ATX. It will be cheaper and you'll get better cooling in a larger case.

I can understand this. This is a server hosted by an individual who doesn't want the potential legal headaches that may arise. Everyone is free to make another account on another instance, or create their own instance.

You can always host your own instance. Then you can choose what is blocked and what isn't.

Yeah, I built my new PC around 2 months ago. Maybe they are cheaper elsewhere but here in Australia they are very expensive. :(

256TB? That's huge! How about an affordable 8TB SSD though? I ended up going with a HDD as a secondary drive because it was like a quarter of the price of high capacity SSDs.

I can spend 17 minutes driving to work, or 1.5 hours catching buses. Easy choice for me.

Roast chooks are so expensive these days. I swear just a few years ago they were much cheaper. Except the Costco one they are all $12-$13.50! I'm not going all the way to Costco for a chicken in a bag, though. I guess they lost their loss leader status.

This post is a few days old but I thought I'd mention that I recently bought Win 11 Pro OEM here: https://software.pcworld.com/
Apparently this is a legit licence unlike the grey-market ones you can get off Kinguin or something like that.

I'll have to disagree there. When you Favourite a post, the person that posted it gets a notification about the fact, while if you Bookmark something no notification is sent. In effect you are telling the person that you "Liked" their post.
Also, looking at the Explore section of Mastodon the following message is shown at the top of the feed:
>These are posts from across the social web that are gaining traction today. Newer posts with more boosts and favorites are ranked higher.
So those Favourites are used by the algorithm to rank posts. Bookmarks are totally private and only used to save posts for your own use.
talos 1 year ago • 100%
I don't see it that way. There are separate options to Favourite or Bookmark a post. To me Bookmarking something is so you can refer to it later, although nothing is stopping you using Favourites that way.

They are very expensive and not everyone has a garage where they can charge them. I can only park on the street so I would have to go to a charging point and sit in my car for the whole time it charges. Not as convenient as pumping petrol into my car for 2 minutes.

I saw your other reply in this thread. I personally would go for the new 6650 XT. I don't like buying used parts as I feel I'm buying a part with a reduced lifespan, and I feel the 6650 XT is plenty for 1080p.
talos 1 year ago • 100%
Oh, I see. In that case, are you going for 1080p at 60fps or do you have a monitor with a higher framerate? If you are aiming for 60fps then the 6700XT is probably overkill.
talos 1 year ago • 100%
Get the RX 6700 XT and get a 1440p monitor. 1440p at High settings looks way better than 1080p at Ultra settings. I have the 6750 XT and play in 1440p and I'm so glad I chose that over 1080p.

Dark Reader is one of my must haves. Turns dark mode on for every site. If a particular site already has its own native dark mode you can turn the extension off for just that site. Not perfect in all cases but works beautifully for most pages you view.
EDIT: Tap To Tab is really good if you are using a laptop without a mouse. Just double tap the trackpad to open a link in a new tab.

There is a save button, looks like a star (on the desktop Lemmy).
I made a post to funny@Lemmy.world, then in another tab I subscribed to science@lemmy.ml. Back in the tab I made the post in, the page updated itself to look like I made the post in science@lemmy.ml instead. I didn't refresh the page or do anything else... It just changed by itself.
