What are you blathering about, it’s never been cheaper or easier to have a personal computer than now, however you define it. You can go full paranoid from coreboot up or you can just get a steam deck and dock and have a nice arch in desktop mode. You can meaningfully use it with internet, Firefox with ublock origin, Signal to talk to your family without selling your soul or whatever. Is this written by a chatbot?
The only problem I have with it is that it doesn’t have support for 12-key Japanese input.
Tried it now, it’s really great but doesn’t have the full pc layout that includes our accursed Č,Ć,Š.Đ diacritics. I’m actually really satisfied with my jugaad solution - downgraded version of gboard, frozen in time and cut off from the internet by Rethink VPN. There’s no reason to update it, really, which is lucky since newer versions start randomly lagging if they can’t reach google’s fucking servers.
It’s a slightly humorous tiktok video with Trump’s insane rant about a person on a sinking boat choosing between death by sharks and electrocution. Once again, sorry.
When it comes to Android, this should be standard. You can block all the bullshit with a few clicks, some apps don’t need internet access at all (such as the fucking keyboard, Google).
That’s why they have stealth enshittification techniques to disguise them.
Pardon my generalization, but literally no one is interested in threads
You don’t raise temperature while the frog is in the pond.
It’s a shitty toy that’ll make some people sorry when they don’t have any photos from their night out without tiny godzilla dancing on their table. It won’t have the staying power Google wishes it to, since it’s useless except for gags.
But, please, Verge,
It took specialized knowledge and specialized tools to sabotage the intuitive trust in a photograph.
get fucked
This will make people angry in waves as updates break bitlocker and cohorts don’t have their key, a new one each time
a “zeitgeist of our times”
An ATM machine
I use only Firefox / Fennec, but fuck Mozilla. The obscene amounts they paid their CEO for stupid decisions, their shitty Pocket acquisition, regressions such as saving page as pdf simply disappearing on mobile. Let that rotten corporation die, the code is open source, someone will do a Gecko browser.

Exactly. I’m not touching a product that can be stealthily enshittified. A product that can EXPRESS OPINIONS that someone tweaked. Besides, I am well versed at finding shit on my own and the amount of time I spend on it is negligable. I’ll be here muttering about hating the antichrist.
That’s not cute, it’s tragic
in the absence of alternatives, there are enormous economic incentives for advertisers to try to bypass these countermeasures, leading to a perpetual arms race that we may not win
Fuck off with that defeatist shit Mozilla, don’t decide for us.
What’s there to talk about? Just use Firefox or something not chromium-based
Go fuck yourself Wired. This used to be a cool magazine written by people in the know, now it’s Murdoch-grade fearmongering.
That ship has sailed, I thoroughly nuked an account that almost could have drunk in the us and I’d be fucked if I make another after the assholes restored my comments as by [deleted] or some shit and now they’re training fucking electronic snoids to parrot my wisdom and humor to obsolete me. It’s the principle I object to, I piss in this pot here knowing full well there’s runoff across the fediverse and I’d never be able to sponge back all the piss, but those assholes lie and steal.
I haven’t seen an ad in ages on the internet. Also, ducks in the park are free.
