There is no feature that is simpler than gsuite. So much duplication and needless services and apps.
I hate google and microsoft for making me appreciate their product.

Deleted meta acccount with a note referencing trump and zuck. Not much but its what I had to do
- Comment on EU considers tariffs on digital services Big Tech 1 day ago:
Absolutely anyone can follow a guide to root a phone, I am an idiot and I have done it. The manufacturer should not be liable for me using the phone in a manner not intended and then breaking it, but they should absolutely have to make it available to do. It should only require signing away liability in a tick box.

I’d double my mortgage just to see microsoft365 crumble.
- Comment on European police say KidFlix, "one of the largest pedophile platforms in the world," busted in joint operation. 1 day ago:
Isnit not encouraging that it is ostracised and removed from normal people. There are horrible parts of everything in nature, life is good despite those people and because of the rest combatting their shittiness

Wouldnt this be so much better if we got hoteliers on board instead of individuals
- Comment on Unshittification: 3 tech companies that recently made my life… better 2 days ago:
Anticompetitive practices with their marketshare and pricing exclusivity. Fearful of what a post Gabe steam looks like too
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 2 days ago:
Given Nintendos never on sale pricing I cannot commit to this console. God 90 for a game is ridiculous.
Not to mention their awful peripherals pricing and chatoic lineup.
- Comment on Signal downloads spike in the US and Yemen amid government scandal | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
There was a case recently, related to Ukraine, of a general taking part in a secure video call on his hotel network and it being compromised.
- Comment on Signal downloads spike in the US and Yemen amid government scandal | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
Yeah I was wondering what it could be myself, the notification text access was a thought. I didnt realise they were unencrypted on the phone. If I go to save a picture from a chat I am prompted with the this is going outside the sandbox dialogue.
- Comment on Signal downloads spike in the US and Yemen amid government scandal | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
Dont use consumer apps for national security matters.
There was a vulnerability identified in Signal last year that caused the British to discontinue its use. I dont trust the british government but I am wary of what they are wary of.
- Comment on Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot 1 week ago:
Except it isnt, it is aggregating the information into a single response and providing better results. I found events I could not find through search engines.
Not everything bad is all bad.
- Comment on Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot 1 week ago:
I know we generally hate AI and I do for creativity or cutting jobs but chatgpt is really handy for searches like “family attractions near me”. Where I live these events are sporadic and not generally visible on the likes of ticketmaster - even if they were the website is terrible for browsing events.
- Comment on Apple barred from Google antitrust trial, putting $20 billion search deal on the line 1 week ago:
It has been proven to work, and the idea is not to make people choose others it is to encourage competition. How would you get your better product in front of most people if not for it being a requirement to be showcased. There are so mamy people using default everything on anything they have ever bought
- Comment on Microsoft's many Outlooks are confusing users and employees 1 week ago:
Microsoft is just awful at doing basic shit. Office or M365 or copilot or whatever it is called is a mess of new tabs, signing in and duplication of services.
Christ outlook sucks but it isnt even top five of how shit they are.
- Comment on Perplexity proposes to buy TikTok, says it wants to open source the algorithm and that it is “singularly positioned to rebuild” it “without creating a monopoly”. 1 week ago:
They can fuck a whole lot of shit up on the way there though
- Comment on Apple ordered by EU regulators to open up to rivals. 1 week ago:
If apple want it to yes. The system access should not be locked away for a company to produce their own tech. It isnt innovative, competitive or productive.

I pay a dude to access his files 😎
- Comment on What happened to FlyingSquid? 2 weeks ago:
He is power tripping mod, blocked me because he disagreed with me. Had to get another mod to address it.
- Comment on Apple ordered by EU regulators to open up to rivals. 2 weeks ago:
The features of a secondary device should not be locked, an smart watch should be capable of working to the same standard as an apple watch with an iphone.
- Comment on Meta will roll out its AI chatbot with text-only features in the EU this week on WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger, nearly a year after pausing. 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on Battle of the dirt-cheap tablets: Amazon Fire HD 8 vs. Walmart Onn 8 2 weeks ago:
Most phones are that now! To be honest, I say this with three tablets in mt house - I cant believe there is much market for these at all.

- Comment on Assassin's Creed Shadows | Review Thread 2 weeks ago:
I feel ya, AC games are a bit full regardless of which way they go. They just never locked down the best aspects. Early AC only needed tweaks to parkour, combat and bug fixes but the new ones went so far rpg that I cant even bother. Just too big
- Comment on Digg is about to be rebooted. Thoughts? 3 weeks ago:
I wouldnt consider them all social media. Discord is ass, its such an odd platform it never eoccured to me that people use it for in real life friends. Youtube is basically low budget netflix for me, no need to socialise on it - probably best to avoid it tbh.
- Comment on Notion Mail - Off the waitlist 4 weeks ago:
They forced us to change to outlook and then didnt just replace the name, it became a subfolder under outlook. Microsoft sucks
