Exactly. The important people know how to reach me, all others simply aren’t.

Should’ve named it Y or Z. You know, like +1…

Absolutely this. Not many people understand this, especially not my gen (x) or older. Here they’re all pavlov’ed to open the door when it rings or answer the phone. I never do that.

Fair point…

And this is relevant (or mildly interesting) to whom exactly?

A shitty cancer-platform introduced a shitty useless feature for those with even less an own opinion than the others there.

Some kiddie-lovin (hardcore) Nazi didn’t like your comment 😁

The usual probably. Not “hip” enough for today’s youth? too expensive for a too tiny group of fans? captain too manly? captain too white? It’s always the good shows that get cut and the most stupid bullshit lives forever in 52 seasons á 500 episodes each for 5 mio bucks. Whatever pleases the shareholders

Oh man…that sucks 😟

Instead of bashing AI, I’d be pissed at another device uploading my everything into some cloud of some us-based company. Who wants that? At least make it with Local AI. Oh right, that won’t do for the next 15yrs because of the gargantuan resources needed.

But…people use x, WhatsApp, Facebook and google and Apple phones… So why not another privacy-destroyer with the added benefit of…I don’t know. Tell me what I’m looking at?

Cut short? How short? Why? Fuck.

I did enjoy s1 by an unexpectedly large amount, especially due to the cpt pike.

I use it. But it’s only half of the solution. There’s still the phone itself and it’s from the worst of the worst 😑

Extremist? Nah, I’m just old enough to have been fooled and fucked way too often by the enshittification, so that I have serious trust issues with corpo promises now.

I try to stay away from big tech crap as far as I can. If there’s no open source alternative, I make my own (if complexity allows) or just don’t use it at all.

And I’m not upset at Bose. Great if they really deliver. I just doubt they will. And if they do, it would be the one shiny example that stands out. But it would make Bose a bit more attractive to me then. At least the older ones.

Besides, other comments say they just release the API, not made it real open source. Dunno what is true and also don’t care. Yet it would be a substantial difference.

I was on iobroker at that time and HA still wore diapers 😁 So today it Wouldn’t be as bad, but at that time they were just effectively rendered dumb cubes to us.

Yes! Exactly. I buy, I own. That’s what it SHOULD be.

Phones are the worst example. Pay 1500 moneyz and still it’s not yours. You may only use it in the way they want you to. Ugh.

No thanks. I had like 20 sonos speaker, and then, one day, sonos decided to fuck the app up, making it impossible to use my library anymore. This was the day I sold them all, ranted like a pissed off babuskha and never thought of buying similar products ever but make my own.

Real open source or go fork yourself in the eye. I’m so done with this corpo-crapshit

Yeah me neither. It was just a remnant of my optimistic yesteryear ass speaking 😒

Too bad they’re sold out, I would so get one for at home. Unless it’s cloudbound. I would want an open sourced or locally controlled.

lol yes, but close. Since server 2008/2008R2 there is the “core”-option. Since 2016 even a nano-core, with just basic container-options and one cannot even login locally. Plus a ton of corpo-stuff that is already there, and “easily” to setup (the gui seems so simple, but it’s still just a do-it-quick-stuff in the front, most of the actual work is scripted/console anyway). I must admit I do have all MS-titles and -certificates and it often is as trivial as it seems. But still more trivial than doing the exact same thing in linux.

Despite not ever have cared for MS-licenses (except for back then, when i still ran the buisiness), i still choose linux most of the time as it’s still much less overhead for simple tasks than even the lightest of core-installations.

But you know the UI is optional in the recent server versions? Can all be done in console, for an added layer of security and less overhead. Way too late they included that, but still…

I didn’t mean to start a what’s-best-for-companies (as i really don’t care, i stopped working 30yrs ago and am doing server-stuff just for fun at home mostly), but just said that their server-OSs are tremendously better than their office-shit and their desktop-OSs. Since NT they surely matured a lot, also i’d argue that with 2019+ i fail to see the appeal anymore. Having said that, of my 15+ machines here, there are only 2 windows left and that is just for that decades-old-domain plus some essentials.
