Huawei's doing great. Plus, there's a big push in China to consider RISC-V & Linux to reduce dependence on US-based tech like Windows, so seems like all good things
Lemmy.world is also notoriously mismanaged and has had dubious privacy issues in the past, such as their Discord situation regarding user messages
I have more of a question than an answer - is the Monaspace repo a good example of how to do this properly, or a bad one?
I hate to admit it, but Word is quite good. Especially when it comes to compatibility and widespread use. I've still found myself gravitating towards LibreOffice for a variety of reasons.
As someone who isn't a big fan of Microsoft, LibreOffice is refreshingly not Microsoft. Open-source, no telemetry, cross-platform with great Linux support, etc.
As for Pages, while it has its merits, I've found it to be somewhat limiting and unintuitive compared to other office suites. The compatibility issues you mentioned are a significant drawback, especially if you're frequently sharing documents with users who primarily use Word. LibreOffice has fantastic Word compatibility in my experience.
The learning curve for Pages can be steep, especially if you're used to the layout and functionalities of Word or LibreOffice. Apple software is often rightfully praised for its polished interface and user-friendly design, but this doesn't necessarily translate to a superior user experience in this specific case where learned behavior and muscle memory are relevant.
It is hard to get a concrete answer here, but I'd say keep exploring different options and seeing what works best for you. I've found that LibreOffice strikes a good balance between functionality, ease of use, and compatibility. But of course, everyone's preferences and needs are different - good luck!
Just yesterday I overwrote some pacnew files and borked user authentication for myself. Very rough time
I don't think I'd be the same person without Adventure Time
I don't think it would be unreasonable to boycott all modern games until the industry seriously changes
Lemmy.world has a storied history of being a shit instance. Go ahead & leave ASAP
I think everyone would rather development effort for games go into Linux as opposed to macOS.
And you'll still hear "Well I know everything about Windows sucks and now I'm being charged out the ass, but I refuse to even consider switching because [one particular game doesn't work / I'm used to it]"
It also doesn't require that this person you don't know have any legal obligations regarding data handling.
There should be an instance with an actual registered organization behind it - privacy policy & all to back up its legitimacy. Without this, Lemmy is a hard sell for a lot of people who don't want to just hand off their information to a person who may or may not be doing certain things with it.
I think if Reddit was really good, 90% of the people here would not have a good reason to use Lemmy. I was on Lemmy before the blackout & it wasn't great; had I plugged it then, many would be reluctant to switch. Now, it is amazing, and Reddit ensured that Lemmy got a nice influx of users to make that happen :)

Data compression. Something about "making less data out of ... The same data" is really mind blowing, & the math is sick

Lord they could not be more unprofessional
I'm happy with Wayland
