- Comment on We'll pass Trump tariffs back as higher prices for Americans: German firm 58 minutes ago:
Surprise, surprise. If only somebody had predicted this…
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 4 days ago:
Because he set the general, evil directions for MS. Like keeping users uninformed and locked in, smearing the competition, sabotaging open standards, taking your control over your hardware and data away from users, etc. All happened during evil Bill’s reign.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 4 days ago:
I’m running Linux everywhere incuding the machine I am writing on right now. I have one single dual boot machine with Windows 10 as the mainly used OS for the simple reason that I need to run one specific software (and some of the “ecosystem” around it) that is not available for Linux. The only alternative is Apple which is even worse in my opinion. So I think I’ll be forced to update. All the rest of my daily computing stuff has been moved to Linux for a long time.

I have now idea how somebody might come up with this braindead, unintuitive and irreproducable mnemonic for a JavaScript interpreter but it sounds very much like something Microsoft would do. - Comment on Javascript/Linux is what I call it 1 week ago:
Followed by a short period of separation of content and layout that was ended by returning to the stone age of client-specific Javascript. Another example of “why we can’t have good things”.
- Comment on JPMorgan researchers say they have generated and certified truly random numbers using a quantum computer, a world-first with potential security and trading uses. 1 week ago:
Translation: JPMorgan’s PR department claims something in the hope to profit from the quantum hype now that the AI bubble is expected to burst. Just read the article. Buzzwords and vague techno-babble inflating a story around a physics experiment that has generated some numbers under lab conditions. Probably. The process keeps unspecified but is a “milestone”, provides “power beyond that offered by the most powerful classical supercomputers” (washes even whiter than white!), “the randomness was mathematically certified to be genuine using classical supercomputers” (wow!). etc, etc…

- Comment on Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system. 4 weeks ago:
I haven’t bought a single TV in my whole life and I haven’t missed anything important. Whenever I am somewhere where there’s a TV and I’ve got nothing better to do or I’m just curious I zap through the channels whithout finding anything remotely interesting or entertaining 99% of the time. I really wonder what people want with these ad-infestes, annoying trashcans. Aren’t you dumb enough, yet? Try heavy drinking. Preferrably methanol or break fluid…

Reddit is fucking dead, nowadays. You can’t seriously call that “living”. Ok, braindead at least

I’ve been boycotting Amazon since the days when they were an ugly data grabbing bookstore and I’ll happily go on until the end of time.
- Comment on Brother accused of locking down third-party printer ink cartridges via forced firmware updates, removing older firmware versions from support portals 5 weeks ago:
OTOH, I’ve been using a HP laser printer for years and the last time I spent 40€ for toner was almost two years ago. Just stay away from shitty inksquirters or even shittier “multi-function-devices”. They are customer-rippoff devices without real use, nothing else. Honestly, if you think you need to print colorful, fuzzy pictures that will fade at the first streak of sunlight you probably had it coming.
