I would want my surgeon to have 16k screen if that helps them do their job best
- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 3 weeks ago:
Surgeons already use cameras trough small holes instead of cutting you open wide. Screen technology finds a way.

So they are trying to substitute company profit tax? I just checked with Google and they include VAT on subscription so it doesn’t seem the case that there is no tax.

Brave search has its own index and it works for me. Pretty good way out of big tech for web search.

The article is 7 years old. Has anything come to fruition since then?

It’s so “decentralized” that political activists from authoritarian countries get deplatformed on request of the government.
- Comment on Symbian: The forgotten FOSS phone OS 2 months ago:
I really liked my Nokia 5800. I just checked online and see that it retailed for almost half the price of an iPhone. No wonder it was popular where I’m from. It seems if you loose in USA market you loose everywhere.

MS keeps making Windows worse but that is not a problem because Linux is great on PCs. The reason is that PC is made out of standardized plug&play components that you can make generic OS image for.
There is no such thing in smartphone world. Each chipset is it’s own Linux fork that gets only most crucial bug fixes while in warranty. Same is true for ARM SBCs where I believe the only board that supports generic image are new RPis.

- Comment on Is the Fediverse stalling? 2 months ago:
I just wish there wasn’t so much sectarianism on fedi. Or maybe it’s a good thing that this kind of social dynamic is possible in online world. I don’t really know. What I do know is that it’s rather annoying to see the instance admin being labeled as reactionary because someone dug up something online from five years ago decided to start a FUD campaing.

At the company I work for we had one best korean for two weeks before he got suspended. From what I understand the providers of corpo spyware that they put on your laptop enables them to detect patterns that are common in setups like that.

It’s as important what they don’t report on. Or the heading placements and wether the story gets burried after half a day. News organizations and politics are heavily connected. In my country it’s very common to go from journalist to member of parliment or PR staff.
