The Public Domain Review

Com o fim do suporte ao #Windows10, tenho visto um número cada vez maior de pessoas frustradas com o #Windows11 e se dizendo interessadas em migrar para o #Linux. Por isso, escrevi um artigo sobre o tema, onde discuto os motivos por trás de tanta frustração, porque a migração é cada vez mais atraente e dou algumas dicas para evitar transtornos na jornada.

It's for a sticker idea I have, but I can't draw people.

Nearly three quarters of disabled adults have abandoned a product they were going to buy because it didn’t meet their needs. Samsung UK and One Poll surveyed 1,000 adults with invisible and visible disabilities, and 72% said they’d abandoned a purchase due to a product’s lack of accessibility.

From a scale of toxicity, Threads seems to be inheriting all the arseholes from Twitter, Bluesky is fairly benign and Mastodon is the most stimulating of the three.

Conversation isn't the same on the 3 platforms. Here, it's more sincere and slightly nerdier. Threads thrives on reposts of viral content. Bluesky is very "hi, A/S/L?" atm.

I have seen Mastodrama and Threadstrolls, Bluesky feels just not useful enough to being worthwhile for trolls. Well, there was the Jack-leaving-shitposting.
