Japan is permanently in the '90s (and I love it).

Agreed. Until we get full, 100% complete UIs like in Pantheon, this is just Photoshop and a voice synthesizer on crack (not literally, this is an analogy).

I wasn’t trolling, but okay. I probably should stop arguing with a bot designed to astro turf for big corporate data ownership.

Getting a little touchy are we? Try deep breaths, it helps with the anger issues 😉

Ahh there it is, I knew you’d do that.
I abide by my own lectures, I am actively putting effort into it and am 99% of the way there, which is 100% more than you.

Been slowly chipping away at those for the last decade (could have gone way faster but I’m lazy), and I’m almost completely google-free. I dont use any microsoft products at home (work forces me to), and Apple can eat my ass. My phone is a completely de-googled GrapheneOS device (I don’t have an issue relying on companies for hardware, just software), and hopefully in the future a Liberux or Pinephone linux phone.
I self-host my own movies, music, and cloud storage. I also host my own chat service for friends and family, built on top of XMPP. The services i do use are generally very privacy respecting like Signal for people outside of my social sphere, or freedom respecting like Lemmy (mostly weaned off of reddit).

Any time you rely on another company to handle your data, you are beholden to their whims, end of story. Don’t like what they’re doing? Too bad. Give up the convenience and host it yourself, or continue to be a slave to their corporate interests.

You can stream remotely via jellyfin if you expose your server to the internet. VPN is safer but not the only option.

- Comment on China’s CATL claims to have overtaken BYD on 5-minute EV battery charging time 4 weeks ago:
There are only giant pickups here due to our stupid laws and regulations. They can’t make tiny pickups because the restrictions say there has to be so much thickness in certain parts of the body, and to be allowed to have poor gas efficiency there has to be so much space in the cab, etc.

Too much to retype here but they were basically gloating about how they verbally “destroyed” people whose opinions they didn’t agree with, and patted themselves on the back for being a typical toxic reddit debatelord.

They removed the region-free aspect from switch 1?
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 details: Screen size, controllers, storage, microphone chat and games 1 month ago:
Well no, we are going from first to like… Seventh gen tegra, which comes with a whole slew of additional hardware support. They are likely going to be hitting 120fps using DLSS, which is both neat and really sad.
HDR and 1080p on the device’s screen itself are big improvements. A lot of people will bellyache about no OLED but LCD tech in general has gotten pretty good and will last 30+ years instead of 10-at-best.
Most of the external hardware changes seem superficial, but things like the dual USB C and the larger joysticks (which hopefully means they won’t drift) should be noticeable quality of life enhancements.

- Comment on Eight years later, new but familiar-looking PebbleOS watches appear 1 month ago:
The pinetime using infinitime basically does that, albeit without always on and the heart rate monitor only fires off when the screen wakes up or when you go into the applet and click start. But i usually get around 2 weeks of battery life with it, maybe more.
Its probably not as good, but on the plus side, it’s like a $25-35 watch before shipping.
- Comment on Is the moon too far for your data? IBM's Red Hat is teaming up with Axiom Space to send a data center into space 2 months ago:
It would depend on how critical the data is and if the cost benefit analysis breaks even or tips in favor of the moon. I would imagine housing state secrets up there would be reasonable, and documents (text files) don’t take up a huge amount of space. Video would be more challenging. But realistically you could probably store all of the Secret and Top Secret documents across a few servers with maybe 5 drives in a RAID config each. Probably even a single NAS-like solution.
- Comment on Is the moon too far for your data? IBM's Red Hat is teaming up with Axiom Space to send a data center into space 2 months ago:
No hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, or other types of disasters on the moon. Asteroids are rare enough now that they basically don’t count.
Latency is high but it doesnt matter for data redundancy.

- Comment on Discord in Early Talks With Bankers for Potential I.P.O. 2 months ago:
Its the closest thing I’ve found to the discord experience, but it still feels young (I.e. buggy and laggy, UI feels off in a few places). Other than that its almost 1:1
