I know :-(. Let the enshittification proceed.

I’d much rather have upgradeable RAM and SSD thanks.

Putin is a former KGB agent. He’s good at the things that the KGB were good at, because that’s how he was trained. Foreign influence is one of those things that he’s very good at thanks to that training, and Russia has been good at for a very long time, actually. So it’s kind of one of Russia’s core competencies.

Lots of reports of massive funding by Russia in influence campaigns.

Sure. But a few republican voters might get the message. Republicans were historically the hawkish party, it must be difficult to square the circle that they are now basically the party supporting today’s Hitler.

It is a good talking point against Republicans though.

Nice. The legs make great toothpicks.

The Great App Genocide of 2023.

Yes I wondered the exact same thing. It sounded a lot like everyone’s first reaction to VR.

They set out to make the truck version of the Delorean and succeeded.

Hopefully he never comes back but Europe takes his threat seriously.

I’ve used both extensively and Alexa is miles ahead of Siri.

It is possible to turn this off. I did.

Just don’t rely on Siri for anything and you won’t be disappointed. I finally said “enough is enough” when she stopped even letting me rate the song that was playing.

How else would they force you to pay 4x market rates for SSD and RAM if they don’t force you to buy a new non upgradable machine?

Some notifications only have the option to snooze, not dismiss.

Apps have become so monetized now that I just don’t use new ones any more and just keep the ones I bought 10 years ago.

When I save things and then go try to find them in Files and they aren’t there, only to find out later they ended up in some hidden part of the file system that Files doesn’t see.

We all have one. I’m also not a professional programmer but I have stuff like this for my home automation that I know I should really clean up but it works so I don’t want to mess around and break it.

Thanks.
