  These scummy fucks even put it as a requirement in job descriptions these days

  If AI was truly worth anything then these tech ghouls wouldn’t have to constantly hype it so much with click bait sound bites, and trying to shove AI features everywhere, even when it does not make much sense. These scum just want an excuse to keep laying off people to keep the bubble going so they can profitably exit while others are left holding the bag.

  Hasn’t apple always been anti sideloading, and anti jail braking, people who want those options stick to android, but even Google is trying to become like Apple in that regard these days, years ago when I joined this industry I didn’t think it would become so insidious and evil, I wish I could change careers but now it’s too late

  I’ll switch to Linux before dealing with that nonsense

  Yup tried and failed

  App stores are the worst thing to happen to phone tech. Back in the Nokia days there were no restrictions on installing any app you want as there were no official app stores and that’s how it should be, imagine if Microsoft made it impossible to install apps outside of its windows app store, no would accept that, so why do we accept it for mobiles OS’s

  Are you a bot, cause it’s unhinged if you spend your time doing this shit all over social media for free, like take a step back, take an edible and look at yourself objectively, so you like what you see

  Is this an AI bot, who writes an entire paragraph of trivia about the wrong movie lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA syncthing-fork has changed owners⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My policy with open source projects like these is to fork the repo and only bring in upstream updates when I’m certain it’s safe and necessary

  Not every game is Doom

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop stressing my GPU and start hiring artists⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I loved the goffy over the top graphics of older GTA games like Vice City, San Andreas etc. I played GTA 5 for a bit and then dropped it cause I feel the game lost some of its charm with the more realistic graphics

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t understand his deep need to play Rockstar games

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yo, fire fox what the fuck?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Notifications went from usefully updates to unwanted ads infestation and the worst part is there is little to no granularity to notifications on most platforms, you either disable all notifications or none, there’s no way to just disable the promotional notifications like you can with emails so that the necessary stuff still comes through

  Well there’s always Uber and public transportation but both of those can be inconvenient at times. Someday I will get better at driving to get my own car though

  Sometimes I can’t even fit my mouth around it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate it when people use pictures showing the condiments only on top of a hot dog.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What I dislike about hot dogs is the fact that the sausage is bigger than the buns, I want smaller sausage so that I can fit more toppings and condiments on it without any of it spilling out from the sides with every bite, a plain sausage and bun is boring for me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK before you buy a replacement for your cellphone that has stopped charging, buy the $10 cleaning kits and spend the time deep cleaning the phone's charging port.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or better yet don’t buy some anti consumer locked down phone that’s intentionally made hard to repair by a shitty company, I’m going back to android in the future where something as basic as replacing a port would never be a issue, but with Google fucking with the sideloading in android I’m concerned they are on a path similar to Apple, I wish some truly open source phone OS would be available like Linux so is for PCs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who rely on their phones/computers to tell time probably forgot or didn't realize that a Daylight Saving Time-Change even happened, some might've forgotten that DST existed at all.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I only noticed dst change when I saw that my analog desk clock was off by an hour one day compared to my phones. Why do we even do this shit, I dont think anything changes for my routine from it
