Yeah bluetooth sucks everywhere. I have a Bluetooth mouse that works fine on Windows and Linux, but macOS just can’t handle it. Pairing any kind of controller with Windows that isn’t specifically certified by Microsoft can also be a nightmare. Don’t even get me started on Bluetooth headphones paired with an iPhone and the weird shit that ensues when you try to answer a phone call five hours after you happened to listen to some music.
I can’t speak to whatever your field-specific desk-apps are, I’m not in the desk carpentry business.

Nobody can prove you wrong (or right) about “some things” not working. What things?

If you value your time you should switch to Linux. Yes there’s a brief adjustment period, but especially now, that period is very short and well worth the initial effort. It’s not 2005 anymore, Linux has less jank than Windows or Mac OS now.
- Comment on Report: Microsoft quietly kills official way to activate Windows 11/10 without internet 5 weeks ago:
Yes, I did mention monitoring installs as one of the reasons, thank you. That was the only online check back when it was introduced 25 years ago, but there’s quite a bit more going on now.

Why make the computer do a thing that it doesn’t have to? The answer is control and profit. Control by monitoring installs and requiring Microsoft accounts, profit from advertisements for Microsoft services and data brokerage, and so on.
We should not happily embrace Microsoft’s desires for greater profits and control over the public.

Yes that’s all well and good for programming computer code, but that’s not how making arguments through human-readable prose works.
- Comment on Samsung phones embedded with 'unremovable' Israeli spyware 4 months ago:
It’s interesting how this site hides their direct and clear recommendation to de-Google the Google phone on a completely different page from their recommendation to buy the Google phone, which is much more vague on the matter at best. Maybe it really is an ad after all.
- Comment on Samsung phones embedded with 'unremovable' Israeli spyware 4 months ago:
Yes, considering the average westerner’s privacy is essentially exploited by Google every single day, telling the privacy-conscious person to just shut up and buy the Google phone without discussing alternatives makes this website read like it’s just another ad on an internet filled with ads.
- Comment on Polls be damned, Labour have tripled down on Starmerism 5 months ago:
More specifically, neoliberalism has always been cruel, violent, and authoritarian since the beginning. Margaret Thatcher was not exactly a person who believed in peace, love, and togetherness.
- Comment on Meta’s flirty AI chatbot invited a retiree to New York. He never made it home. 6 months ago:
Not only that but there is a broad lack of understanding and empathy towards the elderly and people of all ages suffering from mental decline. It’s ableism, to put it plainly.
- Comment on Citing “market conditions,” Nintendo hikes prices of original Switch consoles 6 months ago:
The article is a little vague on this, but it seems like this round of price hikes is just for the US and it’s due to tariffs.
