I hate the enshittification going on everywhere but I’d say the whole smart fridge thing was pretty shitty to begin with…

I wish I had… Got me a VoLTE capable feature phone and tried but it’s insanely difficult to get people to understand that you’re only available on call or SMS now (+no MMS here) lol

I wouldn’t be surprised if Google stop allowing BL unlocking soon… Following Samsung and Xiaomi (although Xiaomi technically can be unlocked, in reality you’ll not be able to do so nowadays unless you pay someone to do it via remote USB shit for you)

Symbian had package signature fuckery :/

Germans are gonna start getting out their old cantennas or nanostations and point it at the closest hotspot

Of course I would never do such a thing, being half german, living in Germany. Certainly didn’t live off a nearby restaurants wifi hotspot for almost 2 years.

Well yeah we could also use Briar or whatever… but would your grandma?

Sounds like half of the process your average Windows debloater goes through every time they update?

Yeah no thanks

I know it’s not exactly the point of the article but for a lot of things, I reckon a good amount of ‘innovation’ was pretty pointless. I personally don’t think I ever needed anything that Office 2003 can’t do… (Of course I don’t use any MS office to begin with but you get the point)

Yeah I don’t exactly agree with him.

German Version: Halt die Fresse, Fotzenfritz. Ich werd jetzt doppelt so viel Arbeitszeitbetrug machen wie vorher. MfG.

German govt: 😊😊

I don’t think the video was bad and I’m glad desktop Linux is getting a good amount of attention this way.

But… I feel like he didn’t exactly show windows users what really expects them on Mint (which is a very similar but in many ways better and quite easy experience). This might be off putting to some unconvinced Windows users.

His Hyprland setup looks cool if you’re into that sorta thing but it’s just not what users just switching to mint, fedora, whatever might be looking for.

Sorry to disappoint ya, still waiting for 4G over here

I work in the telco industry (specifically mobile networks) in Germany, there are heaps of reasons for heaps of issues… cbf to start listing them now but feel free to ask I guess

I always think I like the idea but then, once I think about it for like 12 seconds, I realise that it is, in fact, absolutely useless for most people because the internet is quite fucking useful and almost always necessary lol

I “used AI to cover up their actual design” as well (based on absolutely fuck all and a few minutes of processing on my 5 year old laptop)

Yeah unfortunately we’ve started calling any LLM “AI”

“AI” (as in LLMs for the sake of having LLMs accessible on your phone) is so fucking useless…

From a technical standpoint it’s pretty cool, I love playing around with Ollama on my PC every now and then.

But the average Joe seems to think it’s some magic being with absolute fucking knowledge you can talk to using your phone. Apart from being stupid, I think this might actually endanger human capabilities like critical thinking as well as reasoning and creativity.
