So is typing in your passphrase while out in public around cameras. Might as well just not use the phone.

Just familiarize yourself with your phone’s lockdown mode so it’s muscle memory.

But then how can we refer to ourselves as a third-person locust that only has a purpose, job, and duty to spend our “infinite” wealth in a never-ending capitalist scheme of profit to assist our betters in buying a fifth yacht?

And a new set of dependency problems depending on the base image. And then fighting layers both to optimize size, and with some image hubs, “why won’t it upload that one file change? It’s a different file now! The hashes can’t possibly be the same!” And having to find hackey ways to slap it so the correct files are in the correct places.

Then manipulating multi-arch manifests to work reliably for other devs in a cross-processor environment so they don’t have to know how the sausage works…

It started with requiring larger antennas, then larger batteries. LTE was super inefficient, and low frequency bands need large antennas.

Then the industry tried to push tablets and smartphones to sell more devices. Most people settled on a single device, the large smartphone that already exists and forego the tablet. In a lot of cases forego the computer as well.

Somewhere in the middle, the industry self-proclaimed that people obviously prefer large smartphones, when there were no small ones available anymore.

…and here we are.

Sometimes the future is really, really, really really…dumb.

Humans, and other, more evolved animals survived the Cuban missile crisis.

Honestly surprised they still underpay versus the industry standard. And still overwork to death. They’re so profitable, they could drop all that behavior. They’re a cult that has to legally allow people to leave or they’d probably just enslave them. Can’t even use their products anymore, knowing that.

That’s good to hear. I’ve been waiting to see some in-depth testing reports from people that know how to put them through their paces.

Hey now, Windows 11 is becoming the biggest piece of garbage operating system to ever exist. It obviously worked! /s

And, drumroll please, Apple and Facebook/Meta (and Google) share information back and forth about users due to long-standing agreements. Huzzah!

As much as Qualcomm modems rule, it’d be nice to have some competition in this space at all.

Many salmon generations in 100 years.

Beta? Alpha is new GM release! Boom! Made the ship date!

Eh, gotta be honest though. Democrats (at the Federal level) love money. Pelosi’s latest Visa stock gambit, vaccines, etc. They use the Republicans to stay profitable. Repubs contrive a fear, Dems monetize it. Capitalists at their core. Not looking out for the People. Just wall street. Because they genuinely believe the machine is what keeps us all living our lives, and to love the machine, and why not make some scratch while you’re at it?

You think Thunderbird is insulated? Their latest big drunk UI lift seems to have somehow made it even less intuitive.

You have a preferred mobile app to access the service you’d recommend?

Recently tried MS Office apps for the first time in 8 or so years. Somehow they made them less intuitive than even ribbon days. They use a dark pattern save dialog that makes it easy to accidentally save to OneDrive, and if you have OneDrive disabled or uninstalled, there’s an always present icon in the title bar of the main edit window that says “autosave off” even though autosave is on.

Went right back to LibreOffice after one document and one spreadsheet.
