- Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11 4 days ago:
I mean, it’s windows 10, but worse
-
If you have 8gb or less of RAM, it’s constantly swapping and trash your SSD
-
It always needs to automatically install the fucking updates in the background hogging the CPU and SSD time when you actually need to work/play
-
When they introduce bugs, they take years to fix them. The taskbar took 3 years to be restored to features that were present since windows 95. One year ago they introduced a new bug that with some display port monitors, when it goes in standby, the resolution switches for a second to 640*480, trashing all windows and desktop layout, super infuriating. Probably this will be fixed in windows 12

- Comment on Vimeo is getting acquired by Bending Spoons, the parent company of Evernote 5 days ago:
RIP Vimeo 2004-2025
Bending Spoons works like this:
- They immediately stop any development
- They fire all the engineers because now the app is in maintenance mode
- They quadruple the subscription prices while nerfing all the free plans
- They change the license of the user generated content, so they sell it to ai bros
You got data in our servers? Pay the ransom or lose it!
Their CEO is a ruthless version of Elon musk

From “be evil” Google we might expect some variant of recaptcha where you need to click on the squares where some kid is hiding behind some rubbles, to train their genocide ai for a better genocidal job

You are absolutely right, and I apologize for that error. Thank you for the correction, it helps me learn and improve. Let’s try this again with the right information…
- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 1 week ago:
Somehow when it’s called a “monitor” it quadruples the price.
I can’t really accept that a basic 4k 27" monitor without even speakers costs the same of a 4k 65" TV with HDR, deeper blacks, WiFi and a whole spyware operating system
- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 1 week ago:
I’d buy a 8k TV, provided that it has no smarts, no WiFi, no TV tuner and its price isn’t over 5% than a 4k TV

There are a lot of tragic stories of people that had the idea “I’ll slash the tires to this trucker to teach him a lesson” but instead they got a physics lesson
- Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027) 2 weeks ago:
it’s not almost worldwide? By reading all the forum posts with us nerds damning the bank app developers for the antiroot checks, it seems a widespread problem
- Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027) 2 weeks ago:
in order to login on the bank webapp, a token must be generated on a dedicated smartphone with all the google spyware installed, and the app that generates the token refuses to run if the bootloader is unlocked, or if the device is not “certified” by google
- Comment on TIL about Android Translation Layer (ATL), a way to port Android apps to Linux Mobile 2 weeks ago:
also networks. on my network i can’t use volte or 5g with a google pixel 5 because they did not “certify” that.
They “certify” a handful of samsung + the iphones, no fairphone and they would absolutely never “certify” stuff like the pinephone, if they could i think they would even blacklist their whole IMEI range

It’s almost already like this. In my country every single bank reinvented the wheel by creating a single purpose app which does what aegis does (otp generation from a seed) but with some bits changed (one for example “encrypted” the seed with ROT13) and with draconian measures like bootloader must be locked, adb must be disabled, and are using literal exploits to see if you have “forbidden” directories on /sdcard like/sdcard/magisk even if no file access is granted

Yet the “ai” system one day will think that you’re underage and block your account until you send a photo of your face, your id and your ass
- Comment on Let Google know what you think about their proposed restrictions on sideloading Android apps. - Android developer verification requirements [Feedback Form] 2 weeks ago:
Just today apple showed how stupid is this policy as they revoked the publisher certificate for a torrent app, proving that the end goal is not locking malware but stuff that they don’t like
- Comment on Let Google know what you think about their proposed restrictions on sideloading Android apps. - Android developer verification requirements [Feedback Form] 3 weeks ago:
Do you think Google won’t revoke the signature for apps like revanced or newpipe or send a c&d to the now doxxed devs?
Main reason apple did that is to limit piracy, nsfw apps and track how many installs so they can still bill the developer for that
- Comment on Google plans to begin verifying the identity of all developers who distribute apps on Android, even if it's outside the Play Store, starting September 2026 3 weeks ago:
I’m praying that there’s a toggle like for play protect
I don’t want an iOS clone

i wonder how someone can choose the 10 most salient lines of code ever written
manually summarizing 6 months of commits seems also a thrilling job

that’s what renders windows hello almost useless. I like the idea of having a short pin for logging in but it doesn’t mean bitwarden can be unlocked with the same pin instead of biometrics…

It looks like finally after almost ten years they will complete the dark mode on windows. But some buttons will still be with the light theme, they ran out of ai credits and need to wait for next month to replenish the free tier
- Comment on Codeberg: army of AI crawlers are extremely slowing us; AI crawlers learned how to solve the Anubis challenges. 4 weeks ago:
Question: those artificial stupidity bots want to steal the issues or want to steal the code? Because why they’re wasting a lot of resources scraping millions of pages when they can steal everything via SSH (once a month, not 120 times a second)

- Comment on Why LLMs can't really build software 4 weeks ago:
Note: this comes from someone that makes a (very good) ide which they only monetize with an AI subscription so it’s interesting to see their take
(They use Claude opus like all the others so the results are similar)

The 5 stars review is ironic

Real software and apps were used just because they paid for product placement, not for accuracy
