None of these problems are really dealbreakers for a consumer-oriented file system in 2023. Not even ext4 supports CoW. Now that everyone boots off an SSD, things like file fragmentation no longer matter, and most of NTFS' continued slowness has more to do with Windows itself than the actual file system.

ReFS is Microsoft's new file system meant for more advanced use cases. It supports many but not all of these advanced features. Starting with Windows 11, you can actually boot off a ReFS drive, though I'm not sure that is a recommended configuration.

People have been saying these things since 2020 and it has convinced me that people in online gaming forums are out of touch.

Here's my argument against the Series X though:

• It has nothing I can't play on my PC. Even though Sony has started releasing their games on PC, their ports usually come years later. I don't hold this against Microsoft though, I'm more than happy to play games like Halo on PC instead of buying another console.

• Sony console exclusives are better and more numerous than Xbox exclusives. This has been the case since the Xbox One.

• The DualSense is a way cooler controller. I'm pretty miffed that the Xbox controller still doesn't have a gyroscope, When utilized properly a gyroscope makes aiming in shooters a lot easier.

So the way I see it, there isn't much reason to buy a Series X beyond its awesome backwards compatibility.

The bigger problems Apple has are their enterprise device and user management, and the fact that many businesses are still reliant on Windows-only software.

Most companies I've worked for buy machines that usually aren't much cheaper than Apple equivalents, at least in terms of MSRP, despite the quality often being worse. My work-provided 2022 HP Z-Book 15 is more expensive as configured than my personal M2 14" MacBook Pro, and is still a shittier machine in just about every objective (and subjective) way I can think of. This is because enterprises typically buy business class laptops like Lattitudes and ThinkPads rather than lower cost (and less durable) consumer oriented machines. That said, it is not uncommon for IT departments at large enterprises to pay well under MSRP for these machines when buying in bulk.

The entire design philosophy of GNOME drives me up a wall. Who in their right mind decided we don't need minimize buttons on our windows?

To be fair, the .website TLD basically screams "I AM SPAM"

Reddit:- You Google Reddit and your first result is Reddit.com. You click the link and are presented with the front page. You from scroll from a few hours and end up signing up and staying.

I don't think this is the path most people take to becoming new Reddit users.

I think most people end up using new social media sites because they get linked to content already on a given site that they like. This could be from friends sharing links, or through Google results from the site.

Presumably, discovery is a lot better.

Having used both Twitter and Mastadon, discovery on Mastadon is essentially impossible. You have to already know who you want to follow, there is no mechanism in place to help you actually find content you might be interested in.

Importantly, "free speech" is about government, not privately owned spaces.

We believe the government should not be given the power to censor speech, because people are born into it without a choice. Governments could use this power nefariously, and their citizens would have no meaningful recourse.

Nobody is born into Reddit or kbin or Lemmy. If someone doesn't like the rules of a given instance, they are welcome to leave and free themselves of this burden.

You're entitled to your opinion, but the consensus among the medical and scientific communities is that you are wrong. They are the experts here, not you. At some point, blindly repeating falsehoods based on prejudice stops being an avenue for constructive debate and instead just wastes everybody's time and makes people angry for no reason.

You're advocating against life-saving treatments. Of course you're going to get shit on.

There's a Lemmy instance perfect for you then: exploding-heads.

We are more than welcome to decide what behavior is and isn't appropriate in our own community. If you don't like it, then you don't have to be here. You aren't entitled to our friendship.

I have Premium plus I use uBlock and have never had a problem.

You claimed the iPhone didn't change the market, but it did.

I don't think any competitors would have eaten Apple's lunch if the iPhone launched 6 months later. They may have had more features out of the box, but it took years for anyone else to catch up to the iPhone's UX and build quality. Features like copy+paste didn't matter as much as having YouTube anywhere you go on a 3.5" screen and a mobile web browsing experience that wasn't cancer.

All one needs to do is look at the rapid u-turn Android took in design after the iPhone launched to see how much of an impact it had. Before the iPhone, Android phones were going to look like Blackberries.
