But they will keep pumping money into it, laying off workers over it, and alienating consumers with it all the same. The global economy is an AI-based Ponzi scheme.

I was just looking into this and I’m surprised I hadn’t heard about it before. It makes sense that businesses wouldn’t tolerate that nonsense. Thank you for the life hack, it will be very useful!

Even monitors are being equipped with spyware “smart” features. It seems a matter of time before all new monitors are spyware and adware Trojans like TVs. 😞

It is Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney telling us he is a pedophile and a nazi.

Wow. I already thought of Sweeny as scum but I didn’t know he was nazi pedophile scum. So long Epic.

I thought CSS was for things like layout and fonts. How would genuine programming features factor in? Is this about replacing JavaScript?

My LibreOffice is still called LibreOffice.

Remember, they are no longer a charity organization, but a publicly traded for-profit business that is “mostly owned” by a charity. If you wondered why they were overpriced and enshittifying, that is why.

The poor user experience is intentional. Compare FireTV to AppleTV. Everything about FireTV is carefully designed to coerce you into spending money. Easy access to the content you already have doesn’t make money, so the UX serves Amazon, not you. Apple does it, too, but with a more subtlety.

This is small potatoes for a company that murders it’s employees in cold blood.

And Mongo is now on the eternal shit list. As far as I’m concerned this is not merely abuse, it is premeditated murder.

Lots of conservatives there?

Mostly. Official releases are licensed MIT only as compiled software. Derivatives are explicitly required to be AGPL 3.0 but they muddy that with trademark terms that give them a lot of ways to excuse crushing genuinely AGPL 3.0 forks. It’s a minefield and it’s designed that way on purpose. In reality, it’s more “source available” than “open source.”

WinBoat is amazing, but it doesn’t have GPU passthrough yet. That one feature is the holy grail for Windows virtualization on Linux. I hope the WinBoat team can solve it.

You can be happily off Windows in less than an hour.

God.
Fucking.
Dammit.

That’s by design. The president is a Russian asset doing what he was told and trained to do.

RbP created a publicly traded company for their hardware, which is almost-wholly-held by Raspberry Pi Foundation, which is a charity.

That sort of thing ought not be allowed, ever. It’s similar to the path Arduino took to get here. There are still other competitors, but for the time being I’m happy enough with RbPi’s dirt-cheap microcontrollers. Their mini-PCs are a different story. We’re already seeing enshittification and price gouging there. It’s just a matter of time.

Arduino has been irrelevant for a while. There are better alternatives for everything they offer. For a start, take a look at Raspberry Pi’s microcontrollers.
