  • Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis Rossmann

    Jump

  • You also need every company to develop for a third mobile platform, where two different ones are already a big ask.

    Easy solution would be to run existing apps on Linux, probably would be Android.

    Another solution would we move to PWAs to have apps in the browser.

    Both these things already happened on desktop Linux with Windows games using Proton and most proprietary desktop apps switching to Electron.

  • Except there is a big housing shortage, so tenants will have to accept those higher rents.

  • I left the US in 2016 and moved to Germany.

    If you have a university degree and work in an in demand field, such as IT, it is relatively easy to get a job and visa for Germany.

    The hard part now is affordable housing in the big cities is almost non-existent, especially for someone moving here with no work or rental history in Germany.

    The cost of living is less than in the US, so depending on your job/salary, affording the expensive housing may be less of an issue.

    Overall the quality of life is much higher and the relationship to work and your life is way more balanced than in the US.

    I can’t imagine going back to the US now.

  • Yeah, but the issue is they didn’t buy a legal copy of the book. Once you own the book, you can read it as many times as you want. They didn’t legally own the books.

  • Apple sued by shareholders for allegedly overstating AI progress

    Jump

  • There‘s also the FSEvents database on the root of every disk which is a database of all the file events/operations that happened on that disk.

    Supposedly you can disable it, but I haven’t got it to work. For example if you download a sensitive file, do something with it, and delete it. You can see this in the FSEvents database.

    This is already a recall type feature at the file system level.

  • Using AI to produce software faster only helps capitalists companies extract more value out of their workers in a shorter time. This actually reduces worker worth, as their salary isn’t increased to match their increased output, the company takes more from them.

    Outside of a work context there is zero incentive to use AI, as you can take all the time to learn and craft quality code.

  • Smartphones are Designed to Fail Us (and We Have to Change That)

    Jump

  • It’s stuck on iOS 16. Once iOS 26 releases, companies will quickly pivot to iOS 17 as the minimum supported version and slowly you will find important apps no longer work on the phone.

  • What are the modern design trends you hate most?

    Jump

  • The problem is that when we rely on capitalist companies to produce the software we rely on, they will reduce cost as much as possible. This leads to them not wanting to pay for separate teams to develop native desktop applications on Windows, macOS or Linux.

    While I hate Electron apps as well, they are how Linux became much more able to run these proprietary apps society depends on. We know the capitalist companies wound’t invest in native Linux software, as the user base is too small.

  • German industry has seen job cuts accelerate and is currently losing about 10,000 posts a month

  • But he’s also promised to cut billions from Germany’s welfare bill and has warned voters that what he portrays as their comfortable lifestyles are going to have to change in order to meet the challenges ahead. “With a four-day week and work-life balance, we will not be able to maintain the prosperity of this country,” he said at a party meeting in May.

    Translation: continue to fuck the working class while Merz and the rich take more for themselves.

  • Yes you are correct in that real socialism was never implemented.

    Socialism is when workers control the means of production and the surplus generated from their work.

    When the government controls these things, like with communism, it’s state capitalism.

  • Disposable batteries aren’t sustainable either.

    Comparing Suri to Phillips, you can at least have the battery changed, rather than throwing away the whole thing like with the Phillips.

    I agree it would be better if the Suri battery was user changeable, they claim there is water proofing that makes it hard to repair yourself.

    Looks like iFixit came out with the critique a few months back: https://www.ifixit.com/News/109270/you-cant-even-replace-the-battery-in-the-green-suri-toothbrush
