It's because the software they use is not available. Put aside there are alternatives. There are not alternatives for some software. I would use Linux if Autodesk made Revit and AutoCAD for Linux.
I would venture to guess that kids know the difference between Mac and Windows and probably prefers one over the other.

I've heard that peanut butter is mainly an American thing. What would be an alternative to peanut butter in other cultures to cut peanut allergies?

There are many legitimate journalists on the platform. Painting a broad-brush does a disservice to those that put a lot of effort into their reporting.

Re:Use NextDNS everywhere you use Tailscale
on Thursday October 13, 2022 @09:58AM (#33191026)
Hmm, it's interesting that they are saying it's now supported. I've been using my NextDNS ip6 addresses in Tailscale for one or two years now. I just had to add the ip6 addresses in the global nameservers and checkmark the "override local DNS". It's been working really well. I've been able to use Tailscale to access my Synology for music and blocks ads on my phone.

My spouse and I passed each other all the time because we lived in the same neighborhood. I almost had the courage to approach her. Ironically, we ended up meeting through a dating website!

Microsoft Edge Payment Info Disappeared
I went to pay for something on a website and my credit cards were not saved. When I went to the settings to view my payment info, I'm left with a banner at the top that says, "Try the new management experience in Wallet." If you click on the "Go to Wallet" link, it brings me to edge://wallet. The link looks like a phishing scam, but can't find anything on whether it is legit. Have any of you...
