  • What do you think have we taken for granted before it was enshittified?

    Jump

  • Oh no, you're definitely right on both counts, just raising the point that sometimes words kind of become meaningless sometimes.

  • Most of the examples given aren't enshitification though.

  • ESET in Germany recommends installing Linux as alternative for older HW running Windows not supported by Windows 11

  • Out of curiosity, what are your views on flutter?

  • How active is Lemmy now?

  • Ooh gnu/Hurd, I heard that was coming out soon.

  • I still don’t think companies serve you ads based on spying through your microphone

  • Playing devil's advocate here - we know voice information is being sent back to both Google and Apple, if the analysis were done server side dissembling apps isn't going to show us anything we don't already know.

  • While I do suspect they listen, I have pretty solid (anecdotal) evidence they scan text messages. When I bought my house I had no solicitor, I text my buddy to see who he used and he texted me a response.

    Started to type into Google to get a number and it was the top suggested search after 2 chars. Nowhere else did I mention this solicitor, hadn't heard of them before this, have no other searches for this solicitor. It's not a big firm, it's not even in my city - only explanation I have is they scanned the messages.

  • Second one it's one thing to be a corpo asshat, it's quite something else to actually regress medicine

  • Just to clarify drinking bleach is probably less bad than what he actually suggested, which was injecting disinfectant.

  • Are PC Hardware Companies Slowly Driving Technology into Restricted Closed Ecosystems?

    Jump

  • Presumably the demand isn't there, £1200 is a lot for a consumer drive and spinning rust is 1/3 the price.

  • Insiders say cutting-edge graphics are too costly for AAA games

    Jump

  • Sounds more like a tooling issue. The tech exists, the hardware can run it but the tools don't exist to make it feasible in a reasonable timeframe/with a reasonably sized dev team. Corners are being cut on optimization or relying on hardware brute forcing it.

  • AI Needs So Much Power, It’s Making Yours Worse

    Jump

  • Honestly I'd take the utilitarian approach to that, if it's a net good, then I'm probably for it - but that's a big if.

  • The Paper Passport Is Dying

    Jump

  • Thats a bit tame, first page of the British passport is:

    "His Britannic Majesty's Secretary of State requests and requires in the name of His Majesty all those whom it may concern to allow the bearer to pass freely without let or hindrance and to afford the bearer such assistance and protection as may be necessary"

    Oi you, this is my mate and you're going to look after him, alright.

  • Whoever the default is on my device.

  • 'Very troubling': Leader of 'Abandon Harris' movement now anxious about Trump appointees

    Jump

  • The utterly bizarre thing to me is I don't really think he's tried to hide any of this. Like he's pretty much doing what he said he was going to do, he's done it before, why did anyone think he was going to do anything different?

  • Google to court: we’ll change our Apple deal, but please let us keep Chrome

    Jump

  • I'd also imagine Google won't be prevented from owning a browser indefinitely - if it's still worth it they'll create a new browser and try to recapture the market, further diversifying the market.

  • I try not to be too Linux fanboish these days, but what in the ever loving fuck is that about? Windows sounds like it's reverted to 90s/early 2000s novelty crap and browser toolbars.

    Trump demands Panama lower Canal fees or return it to US

  • No, we're taking that back too.

  • We're being short-sighted

  • I'll listen, then I can seem knowledgeable af when it gets mentioned on a call 3 days before it happens and everyone else is freaking out.
