Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

This is nearly identical to the Apple ecosystem. Everything gets virtually pathed and saved to your iCloud account unless you direct it to do otherwise. Oh, and you can't manage iOS to do otherwise, short of disabling the iCloud uploads. In Windows, for people who blindly (or intentionally) choose OneDrive for their cloud service, it's essentially transparent. I'm not saying it's right, but for the pc-as-an-appliance crowd, it's pretty smooth when it works.
Is it the year of the Linux Desktop yet?
Because of the enshittification of Windows and MacOS, we're already at the point where Linux is actually the easiest to use desktop OS. Winning by standing still.
It's a terrible idea. Say your pc torrents 2 TB of media, I'm not gonna pay Windows for 2 TB of onedrive storage. What of those people in engineering and comp sci who have massive files of projects and don't need to sync to onedrive because they already use backups to github or otherwise?
You just save them outside of the normal folders of documents, pictures, videos, music, and downloads that Onedrive syncs.
Or you adjust your Omedrive settings.
Yeah I know how to do this. I don't even use Windows but yeah, it's just annoying that Microsoft forces you to do all this to make everything usable.
Neither of those people are using windows as an appliance.
This is where everyone who loves Linux - and nearly everyone who works in IT/CompSci fails to understand the rest of the world. If you have to do anything from the command line - or if anything is easier from the command line - you've excluded roughly 90% of the population from calling it "easy". You may as well tell someone how to adjust the fuel mix in their carburetor or set up a bridgeport mill to make a quick replacement for the plastic buckle that broke on their backpack (and much stronger/durable to boot!). Not only does nobody today want to, they've probably only seen exist in a movie.
