I would have been in the market for one, but they were already a terrible value proposition.

Meanwhile, Mac Mini prices have held stable at an already good price/performance ratio…

Finally, I see this referenced in the wild

I thought Luigi was the one with ghost gun

you want us to take to the skies

Lol you think you’re getting one?

This is the result of two decades of deliberate, calculated effort by the largest technology companies on earth to turn users into consumers, instruments into appliances, and technical literacy into a niche hobby for weirdos.

Has there ever been a time when computer geeks weren’t consider a weird group of outsiders?

BTW, I was raised on MS-DOS and it didn’t help my computer literacy one bit (heheh). I still can barely navigate my computer in the CLI, much less build anything or do anything cool from some internalized “mental model” of how a computer works. Meanwhile, there are a bunch of toddlers running around with Arduinos and doing all manners of mind blowing shit.

The dude literally has a 100 trillion dollars, it’s fine

Things people miss:

• IT not yelling at you for going rogue and UNINSTALLING EVERYTHING
• Being able to access company resources
• Having a job

If their Windows machine is company issued, that is.

Sounds more like an admission that there is something that needs jailbreaking in the first place

These link only clickbait posts irk me a little. First of all, I’m not going to take the bait. Second, I’m not going to use your ”privacy tool” without understanding it’s upside and having a tentative grasp of what it does and what data it uses. Third, I’m not convinced there are any best practices, privacy-wise, for using blatantly statesponsored Chinese spyware or that there’s any helping you if you’re still on X.

Well, it’s not uncommon in some countries with perpetual loans for individuals, so sure!

It’s usually a matter of agreeing the right interest and offering the right security. You will get a worse deal than Google.

This is some true believer shit.

Google launched less than thirty years ago.

At the current rate of deterioration, it’s not exactly certain to what extent the planet will be able to sustain human life, much less whether a much loathed spyware company will still be around to pay the bills.

If you are Swedish you will remember the Green Party spokesperson Åsa Romson crying as her government announced a crackdown on migrants. Left wing leader Nooshi Dadgostar would (will?) have done the same in Romson’s situation, albeit, hopefully, without crying. That’s just the way it is when you’re a minority partner in a government led by a party that copies all their policies on crime and migration from the far right.

The galaxy brain move is buying an old dumb tv for a pittance and use it for watching Jellyfin/Plex/stream from a browser with uBlock Origin/DNS filtering – all running on some relative’s “obsolete” smart toaster from last year that they happily gift you because “the new version’s bagel mode IS LIT – pun intended – but it needs the 128 gb DDR7 ram of the new model, can barely toast on the old one any more”.

Thanks for the link, hadn’t heard about that project, the list of target features looks very promising

But they all suck, or rather the Internet kinda sucks these days. Google very much included in the sucking.

In Google Search’s prime DDG was still terrible and not a viable competitor even with the privacy advantage. Now both services are almost comparable, so it’s kind of a no-brainer to ditch Google.

Yeah, search has degraded along with the Internet, you almost need an LLM now to filter out all the garbage hits. For a while, adding “reddit” to your search term was an OK high level filter to remove blogspam and e-commerce sites, but interacting with reddit is so annoying now that it’s barely an option and many of the quality reddit posters have moved on while the state and corporate astroturfers are running the show. Never mind that the “reddit filter” also removed results from much better sources, like specialist forums.

What does Mozilla doubling down on AI and becoming less appealing to core users mean for Firefox forks going forward? How independent of Mozilla are the biggest ones in practice?
