Every day I see the words enshittification in ever dumber contexts. Rent seeking platforms? Enshittifying. Open-source? The origin of enshittification. Fuck you Doctorow. You gave people a vague concept to be mad at instead of being mad at capitalism being capitalism.
Could we maybe have a little purity politics please? So that self-described left wing parties don't have fucking bigots that manage to be more regressive than the average tory in charge?
labour is totally going to incorrectly relate their local elections wins to them taking an anti trans stance and run on a queer bashing platform for the general election because the current party is a fucking joke where the only unsettled question is whether starmer is a spineless coward or a plant
"Layoffs are happening because of remote work" wow people really will write any fucking excuses for capitalist greed won't they. Outsourcing only started in 2024, no one ever worked with teams across continents before remote work, which itself was invented in 2020.
lol, GitHub just notified me they accidentally deleted my passkey which I guess explains why I've not been able to use a passkey for any auth for about a week
Is there a backpack brand that people don't regret buying? My current backpack is falling apart and I need a new everyday bag (laptop, camera, battery, occasionally some shopping), and it seems hard to say that any of the popular brands care about making bags that last more than a year or two?
By far the best way to resolve a really tense situation that's been building up for months and months is to tell everyone to chill out and step take a break, this definitely achieves exactly that, rather than furthering the frustrations. It's good that this is how people work, it would be terrible if the practical reaction to telling people to calm down in response to a massive breach of trust actually had the opposite effect long term.
I really hope Wayland accessibility support progresses cause I would like to set something like Talon up for bad wrist days, but going back to X is just not a trade-off I'm willing to make (and decreasingly able to, really)
The way people aligned with literal nazis during the nix communitty fuck up keep saying they're made to feel unsafe because of demands to exclude them is just an irritating example of how you cannot reason with a fascist, you cannot point out their hypocrisy, there's no "small steps" to take.
People who equate not permitting bigots with bigotry are actively a danger, as much as those bigots who are funding, campaigning, supporting the would be dictators that capitalist democracies create.
It is really hard to come up with even just a semi functional two AP layout in this apartment with how thick the concrete walls are. ~5m from both APs and parts of the kitchen still end up being a deadzone, even on 2.4GHz. Sadly I don't think there is a good solution with several walls that are 12-15cm thick...
I will continue saying that free software would suck less if free software had more ideology, not less. If free software embodied more leftist beliefs, it would find itself probably less funded, but also much more resilient against such garbage infiltration.
Of course instead what we got is the open source movement, because what free software really needed was less ideology, that's really helped things
People made fun of the bixby button, but after 4 years of using an iPhone I still haven't figured out how to remember the convoluted button combo to force restart it for it's once a week deadlock
The courage in turning a power button into a complex input method should not have been rewarded
It's not that tech has a unique fascism problem, it's that the mainstream has a cowardice problem and no one is willing to call a spade a spade as long as it's polite and keeps its nazi shit outside professional circles.
The consequences of pro-car and anti-bike lane policies and opinions of the CDU, the SPD, and the general German society and police force is murder, and the politicians are as much at fault as this murderous driver was
Finally got past the early bit in botw that had me bouncing off the game for the last 3 years, and wow, I totally see why people like it, starting about 10 hours and 3 major quests in! I hope Nintendo takes their time with a new console, I still have so many of their games to play on the switch.
Is there a tolerable set of earplugs/wireless headphones combo to wear to bed? I'd like the freedom to fall asleep to audiobook recordings of books I've read without forcing my partner to listen to them, but anything bigger than very small earplugs seems impossible to comfortably wear to bed. I don't need incredible battery life, just about 30-45 minutes and competent noise reduction that doesn't depend on battery.
After only 2 weeks of having an Apple Watch I've had it fail to charge several times, in all cases seemingly because the wireless charger crashed, and this is why I think the future we live in is just deeply disappointing
usb-c spoiled me so much, being able to make sure that any usb-c cable and brick works with any usb-c device is so much better than looking through a pile of powerbricks that all look similar enough with similar enough plugs and all say nintendo and none are interchangeable unless you like magic smoke
