  • Just another day in the life of an enshittificator.

    Corporations like Amazon are a scourge. Switch to free and open formats, software and hardware. Ditch what you can. Hack and pirate what you must. Starve big tech.

  • Amazon: Older Kindles can no longer download e-books

    Jump

  • At least for the kindle platform, they've stopped offering a USB option a while ago, precisely to keep people from circumventing their planned obsolescence.

  • “We’ve been trying to resolve this for over a month, and getting nowhere. Support is non-existent,” Windscribe said in its post. “Anyone know a human with a brain that still works at Microsoft and can help?”

    Microslop. The word is Microslop, for reasons you have just experienced first-hand.

  • When connected devices visited the selected domains, their connections were proxied through malicious servers before reaching their intended destination.These adversary-in-the-middle servers used self-signed certificates. When the end user clicked through browser warnings, the servers captured all traffic passing through them.

    🙈🙈🙈

    We really, really, really need to teach people to read error messages, particularly certificate warnings, and not click "accept" at the drop of a hat.

  • I'm still not sure what it is you're asking. If by "finding" you mean

    • finding sources for your music: search engines are your friend. Your tastes are likely not so exotic they will exist nowhere else on the net.
    • procuring the media themselves: borrow CDs from the library / friends or buy and rip them. Buy digital files. Procure them in... other ways.
    • accessing the files you own to your devices: USB / cloud transfer. Self-hosting and streaming to your devices (see my OP above).

    If you have really never assembled a library of music you truly own, start now, and start small. Don't let the large number Spotify gives you trick you into believing you need that. Realistically, you're not listening to a fraction of the 7k songs it gives you all day every day. Focus on the albums/artists you really cannot live without, and once that is settled, branch out to the more exotic parts of your playlist.

  • YouTube's ad problem just got worse: Users now seeing 90-second unskippable ads!

  • Did that years ago. Add Jellyfin, Navidrome and Retroarch for a perfect living room media centre/retro gaming rig.

  • Video content eats storage like nothing else.

    And now storage is being eaten by data centres in their quest to force yet more AI slop on people in order to keep the bubble going just a little longer before the inevitable collapse.

  • YouTube's ad problem just got worse: Users now seeing 90-second unskippable ads!

    Jump

  • I've read that YT is injecting the ads directly into the video stream, i.e. the source is not ads.someshittycompany.com, but rather videos.google.com (which you cannot block for obvious reasons). The only solution to kill ads is to use addons like uBlock or client software like Freetube, Newpipe and the like that strip out the ads in some other way.

  • I don't recommend auto updates, because updates break things and dealing with that is a lot of work.

    Learnt this the hard way. Been version pinning ever since.

  • Steam On Linux Use Skyrocketed In March - More Than Double The macOS Gaming Marketshare

    Jump

  • That was before his Big Bonkers Bill and crashing the bonds market with his stupid tariffs. The markets have started to call into question whether America can remain solvent. Taking up billions only to pass the money on to the tech bros to keep their AI bubble going a little longer might not be an option, simply because investors won't have it.

  • Though he does provide a lot of fuel for it, the bubble exists independently of the grifter-in-chief. Also, blot clots are a thing.
