  • Here in Brazil the hardware and software are technically two different products, in such a way that you can’t deny a hardware warranty repair due to software modifications. That’s the good part.

    The bad part is that manufacturers do that anyway because they know you won’t pay the legal fees to challenge this in court. This strategy mostly pays off. If you’re particularly annoying, or somebody from our customer protection watchdog happens to take interest in your claim, the company will fold and repair the modified device for you eventually.

    If a Lemmy user searches “woodworking” and the biggest woodworking community isn’t on your instance, you have to leave Lemmy

    It seems like you have a misunderstanding about how Lemmy works. This is incorrect.

    You’ll be able to see all “woodworking” communities that exist in your instance or that are federated with your instance. This difference isn’t subtle, because as long as somebody from your instance has interacted with the external one, they’ll immediately start syncing.

    For instance, I can search for “gaming” on my Lemmy.world account and the biggest communities aren’t even hosted here. Yet, I can follow them and interact normally, and I needed zero external sites or tools to find them.

    The only possible friction is hosting your own l Lemmy instance, or joining one that is likely to be defederated from others. But most users will not create an account on a shady instance, they’ll likely join the biggest “normal looking” public ones, and so far, federation hasn’t been an issue (apart from debates regarding very politically noisy instances).

    This very chain of comments exists because I, a Lemmy.world user, had zero issues joining this Lemmy.ml community.

    Oh, and by the way, downvoting my comment means absolutely nothing - you’ve accomplished nothing, because that button doesn’t mean “I disagree”.

    That’s a Netflix issue, not a Windows one.

    Netflix requires not only extremely specific DRM, they also have a whitelist of what containers are allowed to see the higher resolution. It’s a whole problem on Android too.

    It’s not Microsoft somehow forcing you to use Edge, it’s Netflix.

    In other news, my Jellyfin server’s web UI works even if you’re using outdated Firefox versions on Hannah Montana Linux.
