- Comment on The most common bloatware we found on laptops and how to get rid of them 4 days ago:
Ok I’m with you that only removing the bloatware is bad advice, but my point stands that many people don’t have any of these options. And I’d argue that getting spied on by ad agencies is better than being left behind at the digital divide.
- Comment on The most common bloatware we found on laptops and how to get rid of them 4 days ago:
All true, but most users don’t have the know-how or ressources to change anything about their OS so they’re stuck with that, bad idea or not. Their alternative would be using no PC at all.
- Comment on The most common bloatware we found on laptops and how to get rid of them 4 days ago:
So most people shouldn’t be using PCs anymore, or…??

But, don’t ever say that a lot of what you own can’t be repaired.
I‘m not saying that. I try to repair my shit. I‘m saying don’t be so condescending because self repair is not an option for most people if they‘ve full time jobs and kids, and need to learn a few things in the first place.

I’m sorry, why should they care? Burn down their data centers.
- Comment on Start-up idea 6 days ago:
Yes, most people who run a household can’t invest ressources in learning how to repair electronics (which can also be quite dangerous and insurance will not pay if you burn down your own home) and rarely can afford to go one or two weeks without a fridge or an oven or a washing machine. That’s not really on the people, though, so maybe don’t sound so snotty.

CRTs don’t „have“ pixels, but they display a signals that originated from a pixelised source.
- Comment on Why PlayStation Graphics Wobble, Flicker And Twitch 1 week ago:
Pixels on a CRT aren‘t quadratic. Light bleeds between them, and persisted between frames. That was definitely some kind of post processing you could call masking and the games of that era leaned heavily into it. Hardware and games were designed to be displayed on a CRT.
