Even with all the privacy concerns aside, I absolutely fucking despise it, when I cannot use my computer the way I want it to be used. That alone would have been enough to convince me to switch. Not to mention that trying to fix issues is a waste of effort, because the system internals are obscured into oblivion. Looking up any issue results in a generic “have you tried turning it off” answer from a Microsoft forum bot.

I like how the Linux kernel works, and I like how things around it are designed. It’s much simpler, a lot more straight-forward, and I can setup shit how I like it. It’s almost as if people who are working on Windows know that they want to tighten their grip over your system, to the extremes, but at the same time, don’t have the reputation of Apple, to be let off the hook, when they pull complete bullshit moves every time

I genuinely dont know a single person who’s created a Threads account (usually through the instagram prompt), and continued using it since then

I wasn’t having many issues to begin with, but with the introduction of explicit sync into Kwin, and driver improvements throughout the 555 beta series, it’s been just about perfect for me.

The only issue i’ve encountered so far is the panel freezing sometimes. Submit a bug report to both KDE and Nvidia, they’re working on it.

I’m curious why the separation between these still exists, because a bunch of distributions symlink all of these to /usr/bin either way

If you have reading comprehension of, at least, an 8th-grader, you’ll do just fine. The instructions are all there

Just yet another proof, that the more 0’s you have in your valuation, the less the laws apply to you

For quite a long time now, it’s been the case that if your vendor makes this hard as is, a carrier on top of that will make it considerably worse. As an example, take a look at older Samsung devices, that all needed special-tailored roms for each carrier variant

Being honest isn’t where the money is. Not reaching out towards that takes willpower, and strong principles

Quite a shame that the vast majority of people this video is targeted at will just not care. Especially in the US, or the UAE, if your Apple device breaks, you just get another Apple device, because it’s a status symbol.

On the topic of Marques though - I haven’t watched any of his stuff in quite a while, after I’ve had an eye-opened moment from his content. He would scald and roast companies that make mistakes, and make bad choices, but when Apple, or lets say Tesla, make the same mistake, he lets them off the hook. That’s not unbiased journalism at all.

We literally agree with each other, and yet you’re still arguing. The reason why it’s a scam, is because people sell it like some kind of a godsend, when it’s literally not used in the way it is intended to be used. When it is, that’s great. When it’s trained properly, that’s even better. But that’s not the reality

I chose those examples, because that’s what’s been heavily marketed recently, and it all either fundamentally failed, ended up being a scam, or both.

In contrast:

• devops is software automation practices…?
• edge computing is on-call load balancing? It’s horrendously expensive though, so i’ll give them time to figure it out
• IoT, admittedly, is largely oversold, but even then, there were a ton of products on the market that absolutely outlived all 3 of the examples i’ve given, combined. HomeAssistant+Zigbee home automation is awesome. A raspberryPi is “iot”. Your smartwatch is “iot”.

There’s a difference between cherry-picking, and refusing to accept that something is a scam. Crypto ended up begging for government regulation, when the original intention was to move away from it. NFTs are a pump-and-dump ponzi scheme. web3 literally doesn’t mean anything

I strongly believe that generative AI is catastrophically misused in the vast majority of its applications, so in my eyes, adding gpt-based AI to the browser is largely a wasted effort

Can you reminds us what the current state of NFTs is? Or most crypto? Web3 tech? This is next.

Of course Nvidia are the highest-valued company. They capitalized on idiots misusing the technology, until it created issues in society, for personal gain.

You will never achieve long-term relevance, by chasing immediately available buzzwords

How convenient, that this would never happen, because the label leeched them dry

I wish they spent their time fixing bugs, rather than implementing this bullshit

So exploiting artists is fine, but when the labels get scammed, that’s where they draw the line?

There should really be a law, requiring a certain list of mechanical things to exist on the car. So far, it’s only the emergency turn signals, and what, the mirrors? The door handles absolutely need to be on that list

Don’t interact with these people. He’s clearly a moron, purposefully using provocative slurs

It’s very easy for them to twist the history. Losing PWA would have really sucked. I use those quite extensively, even if they aren’t perfect
