Touché. Sadly so.

Ah come on, how dumb can a person be? Even if it was purely american and they picked the dumbest of the dumb, this’d be too dumb.
- Comment on dating 3 days ago:
Sure, but what you described as “wasn’t so.bad” is just the usual enshittification of everything. Lure people in for “free” until market saturation is as planned, then make them pay or loose.
Also yeah sure, you got lucky, but I bet that tinder is made to loose. If everyone would just find someone, noone would pay 😁
But that’s survivorship bias. You don’t hate tinder because you were lucky to profit from it.
Anyhow, congrats on not having to use it anymore 😉

Pose with a bloody Axe in front of a Maserati or so. Does wonders 😁
- Comment on dating 4 days ago:
I feel so sorry for generations having to use those stinky fucking pieces of shit predatory apps, designed to keep the majority of men single AND paying.
Also the method of “dating” there sucks so much, unless you’re just there for a quick fuck.
Not saying it was easier back then without those apps. Probably wasn’t.

Oh man…why do people have to be so damn oblivious…
- Comment on A sampling of the responses to a tweet about ICE shooting out a 21-year old's eye in Santa Ana. 4 days ago:
Totally. Like most (anti-)social media. I avoid them hard. Yes, Lemmy kinda is, too. I know 😁
- Comment on What a great idea 4 days ago:
I despise people with no manners to keep their distance. Here, people come so close to you, it would be classified as sex if we were naked.
And where there’s shadow, there’s also light. And the forced distancing was a great thing.
- Comment on What a great idea 4 days ago:
Oh yes. It was great. People forced into distance. It’s all forgotten now.

As long as people quote their shit it will never stop. I never had an X account, never visit the site and ignore all shit that comes from there. It’s totally simple and easy.

Sounds great to me? The not-have-known-his-name-part.
- Comment on Razer’s AI wearable is a headset with built-in cameras 1 week ago:
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?

Quo vadis USA?
That’s what happens if you give sad little kids tremendous power instead of love and therapy.

Cut short? How short? Why? Fuck.
I did enjoy s1 by an unexpectedly large amount, especially due to the cpt pike.
- Comment on Bose open-sources its SoundTouch home theater smart speakers ahead of end-of-life 1 week ago:
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 😑
- Comment on Bose open-sources its SoundTouch home theater smart speakers ahead of end-of-life 1 week ago:
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.
- Comment on Bose open-sources its SoundTouch home theater smart speakers ahead of end-of-life 1 week ago:
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.
- Comment on Bose open-sources its SoundTouch home theater smart speakers ahead of end-of-life 1 week ago:
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.
- Comment on Bose open-sources its SoundTouch home theater smart speakers ahead of end-of-life 1 week ago:
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 😒
- Comment on Hyundai Introduces Its Next-Gen Atlas Robot at CES 2026 1 week ago:
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.
- Comment on Rockstar still hasn’t dropped a solid explanation for cutting loose 30+ GTA 6 devs. 1 week ago:
Who cares? Because in the end you all will most likely buy it anyway. No matter how shitty it will be, it will sell millions and then micro transactions.
Those 5 or 6 people who actually try to vote with their wallet have long become absolutely irrelevant. And the raised base price of those AAA games does the rest.
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 1 week ago:
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.
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 1 week ago:
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…
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 1 week ago:
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.
- Comment on it's so fluffy 1 week ago:
I searched for many exhausting hours there, and still no cute hamster found. It slowly dawns on me I may have been fooled. Gonna investigate one last time 🤔
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 1 week ago:
Not to defend MS’s bullcrap, but their server OS are much better than their fucking aweful office.
Starting with WinNT back in the days.
- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 2 weeks ago:
Sure. That stuff will stick. And because everyone forcefully tries to include it everywhere, you can’t even blame them for wanting a piece of the cake. Even sucksuckgo now has an “AI”.
I’d just wish for a simple opt-out outside of firewalling it hard.
Also, I was just hoping they’d follow their shitty, good, shitty, good principle in releases 😐
- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 2 weeks ago:
Yes. I can’t nail the reasons after that time though. I think it was mostly the stability for me, but wouldn’t swear on it 😁
