That VW Guy

@thomasfuchs People wanted Chrome now Chrome people can deal with the consequences, its not like we haven't been warning them for almost two decades. Same with subscription software

@Radio_Azureus @joshg @AAKL @aburka @lproven @GrapheneOS If you're in the US swappa has supported Pixels in the price range you're looking for. The Pixel 8 pro I'm typing this from was 260 if you go back to a 7 you're golden https://swappa.com/listings/google-pixel-7?carrier=unlocked

@baardhaveland@snabelen.no @phoronix@masto.ai Let people clutch their pearls about a possible future for an OS they don't use.

@Melezioh@mstdn.games @samiamsam@mastodon.social the person chose the bear. The original comment is meh..there is no amount of internet commentary that will make me ashamed to be a masculine man that likes masculine things.

@veronica@explains.social I agree, now how do make that happen? Are there list of things the average user can install to help?

@fergycool@mastodon.social I believe I have an original driver in my OS9 stuff, I'll look when I get home Friday afternoon.

@ana I think we're talking tech bro here, I'm a bit of a nerd and I'm pretty indifferent on whether women like me or not.

@nazokiyoubinbou When iOS was introduced we had BlackBerry OS, MeeGo, and Tizen all were incredibly popular Ubuntu touch didn't come around until the duopoly had been established. My BB 8830 world is probably my favorite cell phone and I've had one since 1992 or so

@arstechnica@mastodon.social Everyone liked to criticize Steve Jobs' reality distortion field but he doesn't hold a candle compared to this guy.

@cstross on my Macs I switched form FF to Orion as a secondary browser because FF kept changing settings after updates. I don't love Orion but I'm a Kagi user so its convenient and uses FF extensions.

@faithisleaping@anarres.family I'll find it anyway, its my email super skill

@EricIndiana@mastodon.social but is she a punk rocker

@cigitalgem @GossiTheDog I'll pass, I prefer human women and preferably gingers. Zuck is not a human, might be male, and has sorta yellow hair. I'll leave you to #fuckzuck

@bruces couldn't happen to nicer folks

@lyndamerry484@mastodon.social a dead DJT is no threat to national security

@nextcloud@mastodon.xyz I wish it didn't take one dude trying to burn down the world for people and governments to take this path

@rasterweb@mastodon.social we've been talking about this for years I'm glad more people are realizing the problem but now its time to pay.

@nixCraft everyone like klitoris so nothing untrue in this post

@nixCraft@mastodon.social I have 30TB of storage so that's not a problem. My M1 MacStudio is still doing everything I want so it's safe. I'd like to replace my XPS 9310 with a Framework but I'm just not willing to purchase RAM and storage at current prices

@randahl@mastodon.social I didn't know that YouTube translated content. When I watch German YouTubers its always in plays in German.

@eff@mastodon.social For me it's simple what I do with the tech I purchased is none of anyone's business, MYOB and everything will be great.

@glyph Last I read Apple selected Google to be their AI provider.

@DGI@graeber.social r/im14andthisisdeep

@itsfoss I'll be happy if in the next few years I have to install BSD to avoid both all the new people and the new exploits

@jeffjarvis I think its a bit too late to be complaining about this now, the USG has been allowing these mergers for 40 odd years. Most everything people complain about can be traced back to m&a

@electropict @TechConnectify In America we don't talk about things like that. We Europeans and Americans also don't talk about how big cars have gotten in the last 30-40 years. The Europeans at least offer new models that are smaller but in the states its a big nope. Modern VW Polo's are bigger than MK 1 and 2 Golf's I posted my big rant about this on Lemmy

@nileane@nileane.fr Apple has never really cared about the EU market, yet Europeans still buy iStuff.

@beckermatic@mastodon.la @jwz@mastodon.social Its called classic rock, I just call it terrible and hit skip.

@brouhaha @mcdanlj the griping serves zero purpose and why should the developer give shit that Bob from Baltimore is displeased with their free software? Don't like it, don't use it, or fork it.

@brouhaha @mcdanlj This user can do that too but instead chose to come here and gripe about it, then griped further when he didn't get his hand held by the dev.

@Beggarmidas @GeePawHill UHC does not mean single payer, we could fairly easily adopt the German or Swiss system. It would require some level of cost control at point of use, some tort reform, and some tweaks to higher education.

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social I guess everything that isn't conservative is now progressive? Mr. Planter is a mostly old school left wing populist

@Daojoan Ray Kroc and Tim Cook I don't think either cared much about what was being made, they cared about how to do it better. Mary Barra and Ferdinand Piëch one is GM royalty the other is a Porsche. Piëch was a car guy and created the VW of today through acquisition. Barra isn't really a car person and created the GM of today by divesting GM of companies and partnerships. I wouldn't call with company unsuccessful. Some people just like to solve problems

@BasicAppleGuy@mastodon.social I know most Mac nerds are happy to see him go, but I like him and am a bit sorry to see him step back
