Try to get the c suite guys at a news Corp to admit reality is impossible tho.


If the aggregation site publishes enough of the news story within the aggregation site itself that the reader never follows the link the news site never gets a chance to show them ads.

This whole problem is rooted in the idea that the internet should be paid for by corporate propaganda, so I don’t shed a tear for anyone on either side of this.

Let me pay $5 a year for a login and give me an rss feed for your news network. I am now the customer and not a sack of attention that you’re using a minimum viable product to sell to your corporate owners. It’s a win win.


I’ve already given my prediction. They’ll be marketed as 7nm and have the power/performance profiles of 11nm+


Tell me you don’t understand modern chip manufacturing without saying you don’t understand modern chip manufacturing.



There is. The uv lithography that China cannot buy is literally the magic.


Are they really 7nm chips tho? They do love to brand shit as other shit.

Wait until these end up in phones and have the power performance of 11nm stuff.


I’m already 90% done with YouTube since their discovery feature is totally broken. A feed with 40 videos, 25 of which I’ve already watched 5 that are right wing outrage porn and literally nothing I want to watch at all?

I have a few subscriptions that are on floatplane, nebula or peertube already that’s pretty much all I watch on YouTube since it’s so enshittified.

I’d happily pay for premium if yt would unfuck their suggestions, but if they decide to lock out adblock instead I’m totally gone.


No. It’s not. Your privacy is not enhanced nor degraded in any way depending on how you secure your existing tracking profile, I mean account information. 🙄


At least they’re not as bad as Microsoft. Azure is a goddamn dog with fleas.


The constitution allows for a nationwide communications network that’s run at low cost for public good. USPS is absolutely legally allowed to run internet service and it’s shame that it hasn’t taken this over yet.


I watch Netflix shows in high definition without widevine every day.


How does a password manager or 2fa do anything at all to protect privacy?


I expect we’ll lose about 90% of the web within five years as this becomes normalized.

It will primarily be the seo driven AI crap driven ripoff regurgitated shitfest that’s arisen in the last 5 years tho.

I’ll be waiting for a search engine to arise that only shows user controllable presentation and will use that.

A way to filter out the corporate trash will make the human web better, not worse.


1gb unmetered synchronous fiber in Denver for $80/mo


I have never wanted any apple anything. The chassis styling is not my bag, the “innovations” they try to force on to the industry are even worse.

I do admit that many many people think that it was peak laptop and apple still makes basically the same laptop.

My daily driver is an asus g14. I can see framework getting popular and aftermarket chassis coming out that are more my preference.

I still won’t spend an extra 35% for a laptop with swappable hardware, not when I can sell the whole thing into the used market for more than that 35% difference and get a whole new kit every 5 years.

15% premium and a full customization market? That’s another question. Chicken and egg thing and I’m paying attention for my next actual replacement system.


If you want to run a 2016 macbook chassis until the end of time you certainly are in the demographic for these things.




Framework is super tiny. They had to pick one, and only one, GPU to engineer the boards with. I also think they plan to sell maybe 10,000 of them. I doubt they can even get nvidia to call them back for an OEM batch of 4070 laptop chips at that quantity.


Why would any corporate anything want a privacy focused social media site? There’s no way to extract data or money from it. It’s not like they’re in the game to give you a service you want to use. Just enough to keep you generating data so they can sell you.


Put out robot bait and the follows just rack up.



It’s one of the main reasons I got a clamp controller.

This reminds me of the plastics and fossil fuel industries telling consumers to recycle to fix the pollution problem.

Distributed computing for science research is like 0.01% of the wasted computing electricity while the idiocy of cryptocurrency where people literally waste electricity to create proof that their fiat imaginary coin has value to the suckers in their bigger fool scam.

Last I heard the world has a second UKs worth of burned fuel to make electricity for that ongoing scam.


“Waaaaah, I can’t play this one game because it’s an Xbox exclusive.” Plays the 90 Sony exclusives instead.


I do some light nuisance games on my phone, but I absolutely can tell the difference between the 888 in my phone and a 865, let alone the thing in the fairphone.

Sure, I’m spoiled, but I am not willing to give up 120hz at 120fps in my apps and instant loading in the ui nor will I ever get anything but oled again.

If you’re asking for a 5+ year commitment to the device, which is kind of what this repairability thing does, you either have to be at the leading edge or have an upgrade path.

Fairphone has neither, they’re starting at 2 years behind but want me to pay as if they’re a modern midrange.


For me the problem is the SoC they chose was too slow to be viable in 2018, let alone today.


There aren’t any US based e2e messaging or voice services as far as I know.


E2E is technically illegal for any interstate communications in the USA, since refusal to comply with a wiretap order will put you in jail for contempt, regardless of whether the medium allows for interception or not.


If they had brains they’d have stopped funding the seo abuse trash fire that the net has been for the last 10 years already. If they’re still here now they’re never gonna leave.


2023, the year that big tech shot it self in the face, continues.


This is the part of “corporations are people” that somehow always proves the lie.

Put all of JP Morgan in jail. It can’t do any business at all until it serves the 90 days in jail for contempt of court since they failed to produce discovery and any of the SEC’s assertions that could have been based on this data, no matter how outlandish, are considered as facts to the jury going forward.


Got all that stadia trash just laying around, Let’s roll it into youtube. Nobody will notice!



2023 the year when every tech company shot itself in the face.
