In conclusion, Fuck EA. End of message.
Someone being enraged about snap on behalf of Windows users was certainly a take I didn't know I needed.
Teaching kids good, healthy anticapitalist values is important. It's also good to teach them some basic computing and privacy skills, because they're not going to get that anywhere else. They're going to be under lot of social peer pressure to have the latest phones and being connected on social media, consuming information from algorithms.They need to understand how to minimize the harm from Meta and the big tech.
Same applies to the copyright industry and their practices (along with corps who are heavily anti-repair like Apple) - they need to understand the exploitation model of capitalism and lobbying - from there, let them make their own choices.
Gamers are so fucking weird. Really enjoyed the show. Hope they make 2nd season.
Luckily I've changed my default OS to Linux
2024: Blizzard discovers enshittification and embraces it fully.
Rossman does rant quite a bit in his videos, but he's often very spot on.
It doesn't mean anything at all. Swedish SIGINT agency has been working with 5-eyes for ages.
In a memo sent to employees Mozilla says it wants to bring “trustworthy AI into Firefox”. To help it do this sooner it’s merging its Pocket, content, and AI/Ml teams.
Yeah, I'm not sure this is the "renewed focus" we're looking for, chief
Once, not so long ago, streaming was more convenient than pirating. But, as expected the commercial services went through their Standard Cycle of Enshittification and now we either let ourselves get flogged by 50 competing predatory services or just take the easy way and sail the high seas.
The choice is not that hard. Yarr.
Of course this returns us to the state where the streaming companies who have literally "enshitted their own beds" now turn to legislators and policymakers (who they hated, just couple of weeks ago) to ask them to provide some "law and order" to this unruly mob and to defend the corporations right to put thumbscrews on the population for ever increasing profits.
And so it goes.
So hear me out. What if we took $6.9M out of the CEO bonus and dropped the Mozilla AI project?
Maybe that would be enough to hire a maintainer or two for Firefox iOS port?
Maybe that could work?
I don't know, just an idea. Crazy.
Well, that was extremely long winded way to say "depends on your threat model". Which it does.
So nothing new under the sun.
