@Linux @sailfishosnews "Sailfish OS moves to a subscription model"

Enshitification intensifies! :AngeryCat:

Tekchip,
@Tekchip@mastodon.social avatar

@linmob @Linux @sailfishosnews that's the most hilarious take. Meanwhile in reality companies have to extend free updates further and further out to keep devices alive and usable.

So they want you to believe that money gating updates is some solution? Have subscription fees ever stayed the same or gone down? Nah they'll hike it until it's untenable. As soon as someone can't afford to pay their device is either abandoned or becomes security swiss cheese. Neither result is good.

Hey, just a friendly reminder that Slay the Spire is a really fun game, addictive, unable to stop, will likely ruin your life. Ahem, excuse me. I've got to go do important things that totally aren't playing Slay the Spire.

“Recall records everything users do on their PC, including activities in apps, communications in live meetings, and websites visited for research.”

But don’t worry, it’s encrypted, Microsoft says.

@TaoBear @LLS per this video it's all encrypted on device as noted there. But also is processed entirely on device.

Of course whether or not you believe MS is a whole other thing.

I hope it's true! This could be an epic feature. I spend way too much time looking stuff back up in chats and my browser history.

I can't wait for the OSS implementation of course.

Aurora -vs- Bazzite

Trying to figure out the difference between these two in the Universal Blue ecosystem. I do like the description of both. Although I will note that the name, Aurora, is easier to recall (someone thought about marketing -- Good. Good).

Microsoft is how large a company with how much money? Yet downloads of the Microsoft store come down at 56k speeds.

This final school term that requires I use Windows can't be over soon enough.

I truly loathe windows at this point.

How TF in 2024 is it harder to cancel satellite radio service than it is to break up with a girlfriend of many years?

The transcript is just over two pages long. I had to ask 4 times for cancellation each time being offered continually lower rates until I started to get pissed and use all caps.

Unbelievable

I got my son a laptop for school. (Refurb T490s!) He's not super technical but, after watching his mom struggle with windows, he wants Linux. Here's the question. Do I install Ubuntu since most Linux software works with it and it's easy to admin or do I install something else? (I run Debian and BSD on my personal machines.) Thanks! #linux #distros #question

Tekchip,
@Tekchip@mastodon.social avatar

@ipxfong if you're familiar with Ubuntu I would recommend Pop_OS. It's based on Ubuntu and focused on being a desktop OS. https://pop.system76.com/

Warner Bros. gives Adult Swim games back to their creators rather than kill them

It's still unclear why WBD wouldn't have done this in the first place.

@arstechnica time to stop pretending money is the only variable with these companies and their management. It's becoming as much about wielding power for the sake of it. Why take the high road when you can compensate for your tiny baby dick by crushing someone under your boot?

Channeling Jerry Seinfeld. What's the deal with the lack of flatpak server/services software?

On Ubuntu Server a ton of command line tools and services are snap packaged. Why isn't this happening with flatpak? Is there some fundamental difference that prevents flatpak from being used like snaps are on the server?

Just now getting to Rebel Moon Part 2. Movie has some weird ass cinematic choices. I'm only 30 minutes in and so far I've watched about 10 minutes of people collecting grain and drinking water. Scythefi?

Also did second unit forget how to focus a lens or...half this movie looks like it has vaseline all over it.

Does anyone have a line on a mid-tier ARM processor?

Seems like the landscape is missing that middle ground. You either get the low end state of the art RK3588 which is decent but not in the same league as say a Core i5/i7. Or you get the big bois like the Ampere or the soon to be release Qualcomm X Elite which is trying to play at the top.

Where's my 10-12 core 4Ghz proc on an mATX board with a few extra PCIe lanes to play with in the $300-$500 range?

Rock 5 ITX is so darn close. I just wish the processor was a little stronker. https://shop.allnetchina.cn/products/rock-5-itx

@soller I've admittedly not been following every development related to Pop OS with new Cosmic DE. Perhaps I missed this someplace, I apologize if I did.

Is Pop being re-based on something other than Ubuntu for the new Cosmic release?

Seems to me at some point it'll become more work to undo whatever modifications Ubuntu is doing to Debian than to just use Debian itself and build up to whatever you need.

People keep referring to enshitification as the result of late stage capitalism. Are we sure this is late stage? I'm afraid this might be middle stage or worse early stage still.

@hobbsc that's what I was thinking. I've seen scifi and I don't yet have neon hologram signs lighting the inside of my bedroom in the middle of the night. I'm afraid we have a looong way to go yet.
