There is a lot of misinformation regarding the security of older OSes.

There are some people online fabricating videos of older Windows (moslty XP and 7) “getting hacked in 5 minutes by idling”, with one of these videos even clearly having a web browser open in the taskbar with the title “virus download”. And when it is pointed out that this doesn’t happen, they get defensive that it will if you are raw connected to the internet. But pretty much everyone owns a modern router that would block direct connections by default, and most ISPs gift one even.

I have a Windows Vista VM that I use to play period correct and older games, even online. ClamWin is installed, OS is fully updated via LegacyUpdate and a modern browser (r3dfox) is used. There is nothing wrong with it despite hours of use, and I can keep playing with the huge nostalgia bonus of having the VMWare graphics overhead match pretty spot on the performance of a mid-range PC of the time on my hardware.

I will never let go of the 2010s

I can see that very clearly

It was a joke

What if all this drama is just 4D chess and PS is secretly supportive of it?

Apparently the joke absolutely flew over everyone’s head

Firefox on Ubuntu’s repository is now managed fully by Mozilla, while in the past it wasn’t. Mozilla has had a deal with Google for years to be the default search engine that has massively helped them stay alive as a company.

You are simply now getting an official build instead of a modified one, and official builds don’t let you remove Google from the main interface due to this contract.

To be honest that would be more Instagram, where I’ve seen people get shown exclusively meme videos with audio quickly and constantly repeating the n-word

If it is a routine visit, one week. If you are sick a prescription is done via phone, you will find your needed medications already in the pharmacy or it will be coming in 3 days max. Your health records, allergies and needs are already in the doctor’s database and your prescription will account for that.

Practices done in public infrastructure is free, and most presciption medications are too,

But we do have a very serious wait time problem with specialist visits. In the worst cases it can take more than a year if you need special visitations. There just aren’t enough medics specialized to fill those positions, and who is available prefers less stressful and overworked positions.

drink up

This is a VERY new slang, simply meaning they find it humorous (“translated” directly to this is making me laugh). It is very similar in meaning to lmao

To not be confused with cooking, that means winning, succeding, surpassing, having done a good work. “This is cooking me” would be a negative form of it meaning losing or failing.

Suicide can be a trigger for some

Tung Tung Tung Sahur is part of a meme trend involving AI generated monsters, commonly called “Italian Brainrot” due to the country of origin of the “first batch”

In this case, it came from an Indonesian TikTok video https://www.tiktok.com/@noxaasht/video/7476497064961051909

How about Oblivion where every potion, including drugs, are red?

I so much wish there was a replacement for the now abandoned ADW Launcher (both 1 and 2). I am currently stuck on Nova now.

I wish the current Razr smartphone series was also a book foldable instead of only clamshell foldable :(

That’s just how a normal window works

You are right. Looking for apps marked as Adults only will hide them.

Apps I know are Pegi 18:

But Google has my birthday info, and it is over the age of 18. This might be unreleted to Summit then, but I don’t see a reason why they are unlisted and only accessible via direct links.

But is also true on why Summit is the only Lemmy client marked as Pegi 18 instead of Parents Guidance Reccomended
