This is starting to really get on my nerves, and I feel like discourse on the fediverse is worse; basically the attitude is that if it's not FOSS and self-hosted, it's shite. That attitude is fucking grating for the rest of us.
For privacy-minded people, hardware switches are a nice thing. I remember when I had a Xiaomi Mi 9T with its popup camera, and it was interesting to see that some websites would trigger said popup camera. While the camera was never actually used, the thing would go up and down. This was even with an ad blocker installed.
ITT: People who just read the headlines and not the article, and then going off on their own Windows rant/Linux evangelism instead of discussing the article.
Capitalism and a free economy are good when it's serving customers by making the best product or service possible, while balancing that with paying labour to make that happen.
The problem is that nowadays, there's a third party to this for the megacorps: Shareholders, which is where the enshittification begins.
Valve is a private company, so it is not beholden to any external shareholders, which is why it's been able to chart its own course. Still, I do worry what will happen when Gabe steps down.
I get the criticism, but the Fairphone really shouldn't be compared to other (especially Chinese-made) phones in the same way. It's about sustainability and fairer labour (hopefully anyway).
So far the main issue I see is with the battery life, 4200 mAH battery on a 778G-class SoC should be doing better than this.
Man, the French really don't fuck around, do they?
Though the article says that Carrefour themselves do it for their house brands, so does that mean they'll also apply it to themselves? XD
If we invite our kids or niece/nephew to dinner they always want to go at 6/630 which feels so early.
I hate to break this to you... but it's likely because they want to do their own things as well.
This place really hates MS. Can't believe some of the comments here.
Must be a USA thing, never heard of such a thing.
Does it matter in a work setting? Not like you get to choose what your company uses, and furthermore, it's work stuff, not going to have any personal stuff on there anyway.
The irony of being a Trekkie but fearing strange new worlds.
Forgot how Pro-drug the fediverse is as well; vapes should be regulated as heavily as cigarettes and other tobacco products. Just because it's less harmful doesn't mean it's not harmful.
