    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.

    The Roman Empire was a very hairy place, apparently.

  • Microsoft is killing WordPad in Windows after 28 years
  • talos talos 1y ago 100%

    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.

  • Giant Spider Has Been Australian Family's Guest For 1 Year
  • talos talos 1y ago 100%

    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.

  • First PC build in a long time
  • talos talos 1y ago 100%

    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. :(

  • talos talos 1y ago 100%

    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.

    30 new ships in a year? I doubt it. I mean, they can't even afford to keep one aircraft carrier running.

  • Contentious? Supermarket Roast Chooks put to the test.
  • talos talos 1y ago 100%

    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.

  • 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.
