How fucking stupid do you have to be to think JD Vance is the next best thing?

Oh wait… yep you’re fucked america

No one (meaning less than 1% of people) will leave windows (sadly).

People are lazy as shit and rather swipe their credit cards and buy something new with windows than to even give Linux a chance.

99% of people really don’t give a shit about privacy or freedom when it comes to computers. Microsoft could slap handcuffs on them and point a camera at their screen (yes MS is already spying with telemetry, but try expaining that to a regular person) and they’d still use windows.

Yeah… I dont see this happening. Android has 99% shovelware crap. I dont see how any professional would be able to use Android instead of Windows, MacOS or Linux.

Android is garbage, and I’m saying this as an android user… The moment a serious Linux alternative is here for phones I’m gone (yes I’m aware Android is technically also “Linux”).

Just a few examples: the file system is a mess, good luck trying to easily save on network drives. There is no decent office suite and again using the files system to save documents in Android is a shitshow. There are Adobe products but they’re all watered down shitty versions of the desktop ones, the alternatives are even worse. Around every corner google tries to push it’s shitty cloud subscriptions, the telemetry is insane even compared to windows.

No Android is definitely not the future chromebooks were a mess too. And knowing Google they’ll just give up on anything they don’t seem profitable enough so even if they tried on desktop they’ll just pull the plug after 2 years.

If people complain about Linux being hard… give android a try as desktop OS it’s probably 10x worse. At least Linux comes with a decent office suite and decent networking capabilities.

They don’t want people to use it. They want Google to give them a big bag of money so they can integrate it into chrome.

Seeing how things went the past 10 years i think people will have forgotten about musk by August and then the tesla shares and sale will rise to unforseen heights.

I hope I’m wrong but I seriously doubt it.

Is that really an alternative though? I bought a synology because I don’t want to spend hours and hours configuring shit, only for it to break after an update. I fiddled around with proxmox, truenas etc. But it’s a hassle. I absolutely believe that DIY is the way to go if you have the time for it though.

I hate what synology is doing and seeing where most companies are heading I’m pretty sure the enshittification won’t stop at using their own branded HDDs. But I just want a solution that works. As shitty as this move by synology is for me its still cheaper to spend 30 euros more on a drive and have a hassle free solution then screwing around with DIY solutions.

Please prove me wrong though… I’m trying to rid myself of big tech and have been pretty successful so far (linux, self hosting, no more streaming subscriptions etc.). If anyone knows of a better solutions that had synology drive like function and hyper backup like function with a minimal maintenance OS I’m all for it.

“Do you agree to share your information with 289 of our partners or opt out by going through a list and deselecting them one by one”?

Yeah any app that asks this is guaranteed spyware.

Also, use F-Droid as much as possible. It’s not perfect but still miles better than the play store

Did i end up in some weird twisted timeline where everything is based on a Mike Judge movie? You seriously can’t make this shit up.

Don’t worry, it will all trickle down eventually!

I hope to see free open source, non-big tech Linux OS for phones one day.

I wish phones were more like regular computers where you just buy a phone and then decide which OS you install. Or at least be able to change the OS.

“The new guy cant be as bad”

Or

“I’m not voting for a woman”

Or

“I’d rather vot for Trump than a demented person X”

I have very little faith in the average person.

I dont trust anything that isn’t fully decentralized. Bluesky is very weird in that regard, its partially centralised. I guess it’s better than Twitter (but that is setting the bar very low). I still refrain from using it too often.

It will almost certainly have ads in the future and will inevitably go down the path of reddit, twitter and Facebook so I prefer to use something that is completely out of reach of the CEO if something goes to shit.

Good lord, the amount of idiots that white knighted me for using uBlock.

“WOULD U WORK FOR FREEEEE???”

Like fuck off no I wouldn’t. I also dont buy up every other company I see, turn it to shit and then try to force a political agenda through it, and guess who IS doing that using billions of dollars? Yep, Google.

To be fair. That’s what’s basically been happening over the past 50 years. Just look at how we let Russia walk all over us. So it kinda makes sense for them to expect the same outcome.

Their only problem is that since Europe is basically on its own now, Europe has to choose for european produce. We can deal with one shitty dictatorship trying to push us around. But now its two shitty dictatorships so yeah that kinda changes things around (finally).

I wonder what his defense will be. Probably something like “i touched her without consent but I was not assaulting her” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xsmST_fuaNA

Reddit. Free speech*

*only if your free speech aligns with our interests.

You’d think people would want something different like a non proprietary OS that spies on your every daily aspect of your life seeing the recent tensions in the word.

But nah let’s all keep using Facebook, MS, Google and act all surprised pikachu face when 1984 finally happens.

I’ve been wanting a phone with alternate OS for ages now but it simply isn’t there. Guess ill just have to stick to grapheneos for now.

If blackberry manages to come back without using android I might consider them. It its just going to be another shitty android phone with a blackberry skin on it then I’ll pass. Probably a fat chance anyway since no one will buy a phone that doesn’t have android or iOS.

I’m using the voyager app and the experience is almost 1:1 with reddit if that maybe helps you.
