You know, the free and open source software softwares that all the techbros are putting AI into.

Nah, just cranky about it.

I’m taking steps, slowly, as well. I’m getting off windows very soon, I’m working on getting off of various services these companies run one at a time. Depending on what really happens with Android and Google we’ll see.

I’m bothered that big companies, especially tech right now, no longer see their customers as people they need to please to stay in business, but instead as something they’ll inconvenience and squeeze as much as they can possibly get away with.

They all got to where they are making, at one point, amazing products. Now? Fuck making windows useful, we can throw ads and AI at you every place we can think of. Fuck all of the parts of Android that made it stand out, we tell you what to install. You don’t want all of your data scraped and sold? Fuck you, there’s 3 of us and we’re all doing it. In fact we’ll never stop finding new ways to harvest data.

Phones have basically stagnated entirely in the US. Sure you get moderately better chipsets, but what else? AI? I haven’t had a phone struggle with anything in… maybe 10 years. Instead features that people didn’t use enough just get removed.

Is there an OS or software around that could run LIKE a Google tv, firestick, etc? I have an Onno Google tv (it’s just Walmart’s brand) but it’s slow. I like using a remote, but if I could throw a mini pc or something small and only use the remote to interact with it after setup that’d be ideal.

I’m not sure I would put blood leading to steam considering my “Because you love” section says

Sexual Content, Mature, NSFW, and Nudity

And I’ve only purchased 3 porn games out of the hundreds of games in my library.

(I bought them specifically because they’re fun games even if you remove the porn. But also I don’t mind the porn)

It’s telling how incompetent they’ve become when their LLM AI is the absolute worst one, including mechahitler before that update.

Mine ended on the 5th, i didn’t renew it. It’s the first time since i got it that I didn’t but everything’s chinese rebranded shit there now and the shows are better if i torrent them.
