Would you mind to name five of those hundreds of problems?

Come on, almost two thirds of DB Fernverkehr’s trains are punctual (if you accept DB’s definition of punctuality, which allows six minutes of delay to still be counted as punctual).

US is probably the only country that went back on rail transport. Every other country is taking it as far as they possibly can.

I don’t know for other countries, but Germany (that has a decent high-speed rail network, to be fair) had a rail network of almost 55,000 km in the 50s and less than 40,000 today. More than 300 train stations have been closed since the year 2000 alone.

A developer evangelist is not a press person, but a developer that gives talks to other developers. I didn’t find any specific numbers, but Microsoft probably has hundreds of them. And anyway you wouldn’t expect that kind of announcement to be made by anyone who isn’t like C-level, in a presentation made specifically for that fact, accompanied by a big marketing campaign, and so on.

Windows 11 officially requires Secure Boot and TPM 2.0, but can easily be run with just TPM 1.2, and with some effort even without TPM. All the other system requirement increases (like single to dual core, 2 to 4 GB RAM, etc.) don’t really play a role for any recently built PC anyway.

But incorrectly quoted as “Microsoft promised…”. It was one low-tier Microsoft employee who said it once, in a side note of a conference talk that was not about the future of Windows.

Isn’t Lemmy primarily a link sharing network?

I didn’t read it, so I didn’t share it initially, but this was the article I saw earlier:

No. There are studies about that, see e.g. https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/misinformation-desk/202212/study-few-people-read-what-they-share for a more recent one. That’s also why Facebook, Twitter & Co at various times implemented various features trying to push you reading the stuff you post.

This article has been shared a lot when it was published a month ago.

They cut the size down to 30 MB on iOS in 2019, but they’re back to 110 since (on Android, it’s 60 MB).

EDIT: In terms of updates, they are pretty stable at one update a week on both systems.

Half a year ago, I bought the 9 years younger (and much more complex) Red Dead Redemption 2 on Steam sale for $20.

A 13 years old game being ported to 10 years old consoles; not exactly what I would consider world news.

In that very toot they literally say they will defederate as soon as there is any reason for it, and they will be watching for such reasons.

GNU Hurd development was started in 1990 as a follow-up project of another, failed GNU kernel from years before. Linus Torvalds didn’t start Linux development before April 1991.
