Amount of people surprised by this:

ASD - Autism spectrum disorder.

Reminder #891,814 to stop using Chrome and Chromium browsers and to stop supporting Google’s web monopoly.

Mostly about the same, but I am now more aware of them and able to manage them better and, hopefully, catch myself before things get too bad.

I wish I could make useless trash and be given unfathomable amounts of money by infinitely gullible investors.

In this day and age, a bunch of processor and camera specs does nothing for me. I want to see what they plan to do with the UI and OS as a whole. Will it just be a lazy Android skin or will they go the extra mile and make it look and feel like a Windows phone of old?

The important part that you should know (and should already be using):

Remember, you can always opt out of sending any technical or usage data to Firefox. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to adjust your settings.

W11 is such a great example of how out-of-touch Microsoft’s management and shareholders are. Its market share is tiny compared to W10 and is actively decreasing and they think pulling stunts like this is going to be beneficial in some way. Like even if you follow the usual routine of enshittification, they’ve missed the entire part where they expand their userbase first before making things worse.

MS needs a leadership shakeup so badly.

I am so very tired of every company nonsensically shoehorning “AI” into their software to appease shareholders and investors. Discord shut down their AI chatbot in less than a year – take notes from that.

People-pleasing and excessive conflict avoidance. Been there before.

Nearly every single major tech company will monitor and record every single interaction you have with any of their services and products now. Just do a Google data takeout and see just what kind of data they keep on you.

This is the norm now and everyone should be aware of this and expect it and more of it.

I have some sensory issues, but I don’t know if they’re the same as yours.

It does not help that many new vehicles are built like shit and have complexity for the sake of complexity. Electronic door latches, pop-out door handles, having everything controlled via a clunky, outdated, atrocious GUI, etc etc. These problems are not unique to EV’s but a lot of EV’s are going to have them just because they are brand new vehicles.

I completely trust them to handle this with responsibility, integrity, and honesty. Just like how I trust them to handle the ever-growing mass of trash, scams, fraud, fakes, etc that are completely choking the life out of their platform.

Oh wait.

It certainly is better than Reddit, although that’s not exactly hard to achieve to be fair.

There still some good instances that Beehaw is federated with, but my personal issue is that it feels very fragile. If a couple of bigots show up on other instances and the mods don’t delete their posts right away, will Beehaw defederate from them? There is a line between protecting your users and barring them from accessing anything you don’t approve of, and I think they need to figure out where they stand in regards to that line. Beehaw feels more like a small forum than a piece of something bigger.

Defederating because of raiding, harassment, bots, etc is 100% understandable but it should not be done lightly.
