What happens to the cleaned-up drivers?

After the expiry, Microsoft will publish a blog post mentioning the end of the first cut of driver expiry. After that, there will be a 6-month window for partners to get back with concerns (if any). If no action is taken, the drivers will be permanently removed from windows update.

The unplug and wait for screaming approach to software update management.

You're probably not the only one.

However, the interest (on Lemmy-aligned circles at least) in self-hosting, reducing depedence on large tech companies, community building on smaller scale online and offline, has me excited again that the smaller counterculture can co-exist with the mainstream profit-motivated social media culture.

We're trying to give significant concessions in a negotiation with someone who doesn't give a rats ass about anything other than superfluous and gaudy bells and whistles. Turning Canada into a surveillance state is all the loss of our rights, and in return for that we won't even nudge the needle with the Trump administration on the tariffs the felon is obsessed with.

People were giving their time because they wanted to help people identify plants, not babysit an AI chatbot.

The Democratic Party can either adopt that message, or another party that does can be created. Both seem like valid solutions to me.

By the end of this guy's term the EPA climate plan will be to bring back the ozone hole before 2050.

Can you get an auto loan with a certified cheque or bank draft kind of thing from your local bank?

The main thing with being pushed through pressure tactic sales is to be able to walk away, and have alternatives.

I'll be interested in July and August numbers. That will be the farthest to fall where strictly necessary trips will be typically smallest portion and leisure trips are usually the highest.

What would someone do if they got what they were asking for here, but at the same size as that rooster...

Since they know the idea of travelling to the US is unpopular among Canadians right now, Porter seems to be trying the "asking for a New York friend" route in their advertising. This is the 2nd one I've seen.

I've been watching/listening, seeing Peter sub in for David is making me do double-takes, and aside from his voice made me question for a minute if they were the same guy, just that he grew hair all of a sudden.

Since the server went off of OVH, lemmy.ca has felt super snappy overall. Tonight I'm noticing lagspikes, and the status graph shows it too...

I'll check back in the morning, site's still usable so not an urgent matter. It'd be interesting for me to know what might be happening.

Morning edit: seems like a one off.

I'm planning to start a new Satisfactory world with a number of friends and acquaintances of mine, some from different friend groups.

In a game like Minecraft, the world is limitless and people can set their base up anywhere, obtain resources wherever they please and just trying not to impede on others too much. In Satisfactory I worry a bit about competing over the resources or ideal space, or someone decides to take down another person's hourslong work to make a more efficient factory, etc.

What would be ways that I could fairly share the world with many people? I'd think most of the people would get along and the objective is shared, but I'd want to reduce areas of frustration where possible and would appreciate any advice to that end.
