I’ll get one for sure. Always handy to have a long battery lasting cheap phone for on festivals, so I don’t have to carry my 1000 euro smartphone which probably won’t survive. I’m always super careful with my stuff, never break my screen or lose my phone. Except when I’m on festivals. All I need is WhatsApp so I can find my friends anyeay. This becomes an issue after day 2, so I need to carry battery packs or be offline. And battery packs for 7 days festival is heavy and annoying.
My win10 upgraded without asking. Win11 is horrible, I’m going to wipe and reinstall win10 again. As soon as update support stops, it’s Linux for me. Screw Microsoft. They even added ads as notifications and they are going to put ads in the start menu. Wtf! This is the end of windows, I’m sure.
I had the same experience when switching from the reddit app to Boost. When Boost stopped working for reddit, I couldn’t stand it so it was bye bye reddit my entire pc connection is ad free. There’s a filter in my router, strong filter in my vpn and I have blockers. I do not watch streaming services, I download everything through usenet with an automated system on my NAS. I have no TV. I order groceries online, I never enter a store. My phone has filters too. I live completely ad free. But then Microsoft comes, and says “fuck you, here’s an ad!” on MY machine. Without consent. I was boiling.
Yeah but that’s only UI issues. It also runs much slower then win10. There are massive performance issues. Next to that I have less rights to do stuff. Few days ago I wasn’t allowed to forget Bluetooth devices for example. Even in control panel bt settings. After XP it all went downhill with accessibility of settings. Fancy setting pages with restricted options. Why, what’s wrong with control panel? I know it’s still there, and we still have WIN+X but it’s getting placed behind more sub menus and restrictions and more and more is being removed to make it idiot proof. But it’s also locking me out. I want full control over my machine. No one tells me what I can and cannot access on my device. Fuck Microsoft.
I used something similar for win10. A stripped down version without all the booking dot com and Xbox bs pre-installed. Only local account. But it auto upgraded to 11. Time for format C.

They are committing loads of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Why is it news they are being accused of this single crime done in West Bank? Sounds like it’s an isolated incident while in fact it’s daily business.
Damn. Disgusting. After everything in Syria, Rwanda, Ukraine, China, etc, we as western countries claim “we are better than this.” While in fact in western countries we have people with power capable of approving and justifying horrific acts which are the same or even worse then what for example Russia does in Ukraine or China with the concentration camps. THERE IS NOTHING WHICH CAN JUSTIFY GENOCIDE. This shit is fucking embarrassing.
Statcounter reports that Windows 11 continues to lose its market share for the second month in a row. Windows 10, meanwhile, is gaining more users and is now back above the 70% mark.
I would highly advice against using Wine. It requires constant root access, just like virus scanners, making your system vulnerable. EDIT: I was wrong :)
I want to make the switch as win10 moved to 11 without asking and 11 sucks donkey balls. It even has ads as notifications, soon it will have ads in the start menu (not that I use it, but wtf Microsoft!). The games are no issue anymore now a days, so that’s fine with me. I just don’t want to switch DAW. I just got a work flow using ableton for recording, editing and mastering my dawless setup. Kind of same story with photoshop, used to the work flow and don’t want to switch. Other than that, I don’t see a reason why not. So maybe it’s going to be a multiboot. I’m definitely going back to win10 but support will stop next year or so, so I have to use Linux by than anyway.
This isn’t world news, this happens very often in China as everything in that country is super corrupt, including building companies and inspectors. Many high speed trains derail, highways collapse, EV’s catch fire, buildings collapse, etc. It’s daily business. Sadly, as it costs many lives.
Well, it’s basically a human rights violator accusing someone else of being a human rights violator. One doesn’t care what the international court of justice says, the other doesn’t even recognize it. While at the same time the one accusing keeps on delivering guns to the accused so they can continue violating human rights. It’s a strange world we live in.
So let me get his straight. Trumps lawyers are trying to legalize Biden killing Trump? So even his own lawyers prefer him to die instead of becoming president again.

Yay, electric vehicles are popular! Only bring loads of issues, cost a lot of rare earth metals which are mined by slaves and children, run on fossil fuel electricity (many coal plants and bio gas which are burned forests) and they are too heavy for the roads we have and electricity network, causing both to require many more replacements and maintenance, which costs loads of co2 emissions.
SpaceX is awesome! Costs less materials, so much easier to launch way more rockets into the sky! Like for starlink for example. Luckily the fuel used for it has zero emissions /s
But starlink is nice. Loads of space junk and coverage in most places is where already a different and faster network is, but it’s nice to have connectivity in hard to reach places. But is it worth all the emissions and space junk? And child labor for all the rare earth metals?
