- Comment on Google gets to keep Chrome, judge rules in search antitrust case 4 days ago:
Exactly why the freedom for users to choose between different software is so important :)
- Comment on Google gets to keep Chrome, judge rules in search antitrust case 4 days ago:
I dont think that would help because chrome would offer good by default and apple would offer chrome by default for the “best experience” and they dont need the money. Then alternative browsers with an already low market share would get paid less to offer other search engines. Its risky to ship a non google search by default.
- Comment on Google gets to keep Chrome, judge rules in search antitrust case 4 days ago:
The only time I ever need to use a google bang is when im searching for something specifically local like a restaurant. DDG uses apple maps and apple maps is complete garbage.
When I cant find something on DDG and I use the !g 99% of the time I cant find it on google either.
- Comment on Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that 4 days ago:
You have to draw your own lines. For me I dont focus on all the bad choices, I pick something im interested in and then look at the options and try pick the choice I like the most. One thing at a time and before you know it you’ve made major choices in several areas of daily life.

- Comment on Google gets to keep Chrome, judge rules in search antitrust case 5 days ago:
How disappointing but expected. I’m not even sure what would break googles search engine dominance outside of search engines becoming obsolete. I use DDG and I find it to be better than google but still so many people stand by google search with strong loyalty.
- Comment on How decentralized Bluesky is compared to the Fediverse. 5 days ago:
Yes but we like mastodon because they’re open and if they fuck up we can move away at any time. Bluesky is completely closed except the protocol and the network is fully centralized. They’re just waiting until they have enough marketshare to enshitify.
- Comment on How decentralized Bluesky is compared to the Fediverse. 5 days ago:
No almost all of that is misconception. Shareholders can sue normal companies and “PBC” for not maximizing shareholder value. PBC are still legally required to cater to shareholders interests. Legal scholars say that PBCs do not provide any protection against shareholders suing and data shows it does not stop profit maximizing behavior. Its pure marketing.

All this effort to block clankers? Absolutely worth it fuck clankers.

Everytime I see bluesky PBC I have to resist the urge to rant. There is no such thing as a public benefit corporation. Its just marketing BS.

*as long as its a font you like you dont care. Plenty of easy to read fonts that you would absolutely hate if they were enabled by default. Luckily the people who pick default fonts like fonts enough to choose good ones.

A lot of artists these days dont even sell their songs. Its kind of frustrating but soulseek is always there to fill that gap.
- Comment on DM me on Spotify: Spotify launches a messaging feature. 1 week ago:
When you see things like this remember that you’re paying for this. Stuff like this is why the price has gone up again.
They had a good thing near perfect but they kept adding useless features and bloating the app and price. I need to cancel this shit but my grandma loves it.

- Comment on Microsoft breaks Windows reset and recovery 1 week ago:
We have the data, its why almost all companies run fleets of windows devices. When buying leased devices the price difference is negligible. The only difference is no one wants to run support for an all mac fleet.

Before covid there was a lot of inservice work that you tipped for. During covid it became a lot more digital and the tipping didnt go away so everyone realised its bullshit and stopped tipping. Once tipping culture starts infecting digital transactions you got to stop it before it infects everything.

- Comment on Our Channel Could Be Deleted - Gamers Nexus 1 week ago:
LTT storage is excessive. He stores all his footage in full quality instead of just storing his final edited videos in a compressed format. Plus if you’re a youtuber with millions of subscribers you can afford to pay for a few TB of storage to hold and serve your videos. Its not that expensive.

If the wage you’re offered is to low dont take it. Its really that simple. Dont take the job then expect the customers to make up the difference its greedy.
