some guy… somewhere
Exercise and going outside makes me have depression and mental illness.
Almost like… some people are different. Shocking, I know. Wish musclebrains who can’t understand people who enjoy being inside and left alone would stop with this BUT JUST EXERCISE kick they’re on to make us “just like them.”
Look, this is horrible and everything, but how are people pretending this is new? Occasional updates since Windows 10 have been showing these annoying pre-boot configuration screens even if you’ve skipped them before including ones wanting you to use OneDrive.
When was Windows 1 released?
AWWWWW, POOR FASCISTS CAN’T HACK OUR DEVICES
Because you know that’s what it’s really about, not “lawful interception”. Fuck them.
“McDonalds removes AI drive-throughs after they realized AI is fucking stupid and shouldn’t be used by anyone”
There, fixed. Now can we fucking kill AI and make it illegal to use already? Fuck this shit.
A criminal saying that a laughable scam that is mostly used for criminal activity is good? Who would have thought? Oh right, everyone.
Nobody should be going on any of Google’s data mining sites in the first place. Fuck YouTube and if that means we have to stop watching shitty “content creator” videos and random “funny” bullshit, good.
In Korea, this particular product is advertised as “mild spice for very young children.” /s

What part of “WE HAVE THE MEATS” do you not understand? /s
it’s one of the best in terms of collecting metadata and stats regarding your heath
…and sharing that to Apple, your mobile provider, the government, your health care provider, and every huge business who wants to know everything about you against every single bit of privacy we as human beings should have by default. Apple is an evil corporation (and so is Google, and Amazon, and Microsoft, and tons of others) and the less information you give them, the better. If you want to monitor your health, find a device that YOU control and does not give the information to anyone you do not approve of. (And Apple will say they don’t, but it’s been shown in the past that this is a huge lie for so many other things they swear to keep private.)
Welp. Fuck Raspberry Pi. The entire stock market is one big scam.
Where do you think AI gets all of its information?
There’s nothing left to do but ban AI. If we can’t even agree to this, we are absolutely lost.
Just Say No To crApple has been my attitude towards them for years and their latest moves will not change that one tiny bit.
The fact that almost the entire internet is controlled by those evil companies is really fucking sad. I remember the old days when people, you know, hosted their own shit and used manual load balancing to keep large sites up and working.
You… do know how computers connect to each other, right? I hope this is sarcasm. But these days unless it’s specifically stated, it’s usually not, just a bunch of dumb kids who can’t understand how the internet works.
And then the dumb kid realizes he’s dumb and says “uh yeah, sarcasm, duh, didn’t you know i was joking, hahahahaha, yep, I knew, of course I did!” when he totally didn’t.
But regardless of the fucking point, no one wants to use these big business trash that is ruining the internet.
Like I said, it’s apocryphal and probably has other reasons (like the one you mention), but it’s something you hear all the time about them to the point where it becomes major news and there has been some evidence presented, but as I said, it could just be newer versions of software requiring better hardware, which is still a bit iffy when you have an older phone and they want you to update to software that won’t run as optimally on it. In some ways, Android actually benefits from this by just creating security patches for the life of the phone for the older version, and not updating to newer versions of Android like iOS does for old phones.
Yep. Apple supports their stuff a lot longer, but it does seem like it slows down more and more every single update.
I’m really soured on the whole portable device thing completely because I don’t like the interfaces, I don’t like touchscreen (imprecise garbage), I don’t like how locked down it is by default (Android over iOS here plus some Android devices are very hackable to the point of getting root, but still), and I hate the intense data collection and tracking these devices do to you. Even phones rooted with custom OSes still track you by its mobile radio triangulating your position.
The planned obsolescence is just another frustrating aspect to the damn things.
iPhones and iPads famously get slower, laggier, and less useful as time goes on. This is not just because of its use because even resetting one will make it just as slow as before. Sure, as we move forward we get more demanding applications and such, but it seriously doesn’t seem like that scales properly with the ability of the hardware, almost like Apple intentionally builds in incremental slowdowns in each patch that isn’t installed on current hardware. It’s apocryphal, I know, but there have been so many people complaining about their perfectly good iDevices suddenly not performing like they used to even after a refresh that makes me feel like there’s at least something to it.
And don’t get me wrong, Android phones seem to do the same to a certain degree. iDevices are just more famous for doing it.
Yep. It was mostly a joke. Mostly. The bungled adoption of v6 plus all the ways we can still leverage v4 is what’s keeping v6 from being adopted any time soon, but one day we’re going to have to rip off the band-aid and just go for it. Sure, v6 is going to bring its own issues and weirdness, but FUTURE!
