Does it work the other way? Can I follow Threads users without being on threads.net myself?

Coincidentally, that’s what using it is like, too. :)
Ugh…
How did PCs beat out the Amiga, Mac and ST with nonsense like that?
It’s hysterical to hear right-wing commentary about how New York Democrats are socialist Marxist communist hippies when the reality has much more goose-stepping to it.
Doesn’t Mint use native packages where Ubuntu is snap-happy?
When you say that the keyboard works: do the brightnesss, mute and volume controls do what they’re supposed to do?
HP laptops–at least business-grade ones–are notorious for sending nonstandard scan codes and requiring custom drivers.
Pirate an old, pre-CC version.
That’s what I do. Admittedly it’s Photoshop 3.0 on a Mac Quadra.
As a Marathon fan since 1994, the plans for the new Marathon make me sad.
He’s also a right-wing douchebag, if that helps.
There’s one notice, and it’s in the System Settings app. And it’s a little red dot beside the iCloud section. That’s not really the same league as what Microsoft is doing, or Even Google’s nag to use Chrome across all their Web properties.
You’re right about the first-party apps that you can’t remove, but it’s also not the same as, eg, Edge where those apps are used constantly and your preferences are reset on every update.
On my Mac I set my browser to Firefox in 2018. It’s never reverted to Safari, not once, where Windows really wants me to use Edge and goes so far as to not just reset it periodically, but also direct start menu searches and in-app web links to an ms-edge: url instead of using the http handler.
Apple has problems, but this isn’t one of them.
Microsoft would like to introduce you to EntraID.
That’s the enterprise version of this.
Apple doesn’t actually make it at all difficult to use a Mac or iOS device without an Apple account. You’re asked once during setup and that’s it. At most there’ll be a red dot in Settings>iCloud.
Halo is almost a quarter century.
Wolfenstein is 30ish
Now, imagine how us Gen-Xers who grew up with Karateka or Epic Games feel.
I mean, Windows 98’s “Active Desktop” was pretty much this.
Someone at Microsoft has been trying to make MSN a thing for almost thirty years, and they’re sure that if they ram it down out throats just one more time we’ll finally accept it.
Yeah, but those aren’t “real Canadians”
/s, just in case…
This is such a smart move: it really cuts the legs out from under the “…bbbbut Hamas are terrorist!!” bad-faith arguments.
Australians are basically US americans of the south (think food: originally british, cannot be healthy, no good car manufacturers, afraid of foreigners…)
They’re really more like Canadians than Americans, although I’ve heard it said that New Zealand more accurately fills that role
The market has solved it.
You just don’t realize what the market has solved for. It didn’t solve the problem of expensive healthcare, it solved the problem of how to maximize profits for the wealthy.
That’s what people don’t understand about “the market”. What you think it’s doing isn’t what it’s actually doing.

How much of this is decline at the expense of Windows 11, due to Steam lowering barriers to entry, fatigue with Windows’ hard selling, and/or extending the useful like of hardware that W11 abandoned.
