Why are you posting ads for a website?? Shouldn’t you just post the content here so you’re not advertising???

Just jump to something like Bazzite and get rid of windows, don’t wait unless you have to

But they got the republicans elected, that’s all that matters. They don’t care about what happens after they get into power

The difference between MicroSlop and Micro$haft or Crapple is that Microsoft is actively slopifying their product. And this isn’t just some PC vs Mac slapfight where people are coming up with insulting names, Microsoft actively bragged about pooping out 30% of code with AI and we have MONTHS of news articles about them fucking up their updates even more than usual (and I’ve been supporting MS products for close to 2 decades).

There’s a reason MicroSlop responded to that and not Micro$haft. Because every big company gives their customers the shaft, but not many are actively sabotaging their product to quite the same extent as they are, so the (accurate) name really hurts the company’s brand because it’s an accurate description of their current output.

It worked with Bro Joegan

A lot of websites actively interfere the reader from accessing them by pestering them with their “apps” these days. I don’t know where this fascination with getting everyone to download your app comes from.

I’m kinda surprised the author is able to put together why the ad experience is bad, even directly calling out the data ining of the sites, but completely misses that apps are even better at mining your data

paying a daily subscription to breathe.

Nazis say that you are required to let Nazis be your customers. Also that you don’t have to serve people you don’t want to when it fits their narrative.

Ooooooh, I’ve always wanted a monorail!

They’re probably assuming the chats aren’t encrypted because telegram doesn’t encrypt those. Source

Multi-device End-to-end encrypted chats are a mess

The concept of End-to-End Encryption has no limits for the number of communicating devices. However, if you want to access your end-to-end encrypted chats from multiple devices, you’re facing many technical difficulties, especially when it comes to connecting new devices, loading chat history and restoring backups.

Most of our competitors (notably, Whatsapp and iMessage) solve these problems in ways that make their end-to-end encryption useless (this is a big topic, so requires a separate manual [poster note, that link goes to a ‘manual’ that hasn’t been filled out lol]). To solve them in a secure way, you’d have to sacrifice usability and some of the features you’re used to – the result would never be as fluent and simple as what we offer in Cloud Chats.

Telegram says they don’t encrypt them and tries to imply that people who actually know how to use cryptography failed to solve this problem because they couldn’t solve it with their shitty self rolled ‘encryption’ algo that hasn’t been peer reviewed (unlike the signal protocol)

This paper released last summer makes the argument that quantum computing is in a similar state, and that any of the claimed numbers that were factored by quantum computing above 21 have basically been bullshit. I was listening to Security Now episode 1034 recently and they discussed the paper in reasonably understandable terms, but basically it boils down to factoring big numbers by picking numbers that are disallowed by modern algorithms because they’re binary weak primes.

Whelp, looks like I’m spending my PTO week installing a new OS in my pixel and trying to make bank/payment shit work.

Right, but none of that is enshitification or contradicts that 7 was an improvement over vista in most every way. As you stated, there were numerous kernel improvements going to 7, as well as improvements on locking logic, memory access and (let’s not ignore the most obvious) driver support. The two operating systems were very similar, but saying there are no major differences other than aesthetic is not accurate. There were less major differences than xp > vista or 7 > 8, but it was a bit more than just aesthetics.

Also, fuck Server 2016. All my homies hate Server 2016…

Heh, I’m a windows sysadmin, so I use them often enough to know it from memory. I’m almost entirely Linux at home these days as well

Ncpa.cpl > right click > properties and go from there is my main method.

Otherwise, Win+X > G (devmgmt.msc) and look at the network adapter in device manager

Other than the win+x chord, that works on just about every version I have to touch

Vista to 7

enshitification

Lol, lmao even

7 was better than vista in just about every way.

I hate how the settings app is taking over control panel entries to make them worse and show me the original control panel window after going down 3 levels because the stupid fucks can’t design UI for shit.

Thankfully, you can still get to a lot of them if you know the name of the control panel applet.

Yeah… The Iran war is why the bubble will pop… Damned Iran destabilizing the very healthy AI market!!1!

You cannot reliably get the URL from an IP, there’s no direct mapping, especially with shared hosting.
