I’d be willing to bet that a noose would stop big tech, to a certain extent.

I know, it’s just not enough! They are really tightening their belts to give you that content. /s

And they still won’t implement a simple bookmarks Home page like Safari has. Uneditable shortcuts, limited to a dozen… it’s like they just forgot that there’s users on the other end who need user-tools and functionality.

Damn yes indeed!

Seriously was the author paid by the word? Also even though I believe their main point is valid, they employ more than one Straw Man argument in conveying their reasoning. Nevertheless I have been opting out of passkeys since I first saw them for the simple reason that I was being told by sites and apps that I should use them - and I know that no company ever advises you to do something that’s in your own best interest. Therefore I didn’t trust by default. lol.

The most recent release often gave me problems. Get the next one back until they clean some things up. Also I have been using Impression to write my flash drives. Give it a try.

Yes, once upon a time I got that notice from my ISP. I have a virtual machine running now, which is connected to a VPN and I torrent everything nowadays. TV, Movies, music, software whatever. Haven’t gotten any conflict from my ISP in well over a decade. For info, I use Mullvad. Economical and reliable. Had the occasional hiccup but their main site shows how to resolve problem immediately.

So, yeah you can torrent to your heart’s content once you’re on a VPN. I recommend Mullvad simply because they are not in the U.S.A. and they don’t keep logs, as per their stated policy. That’s all you can go on. But I have no affiliation with them I’m simply a satisfied customer.

Enjoy.

No. No… No it didn’t. Did you perhaps run it through a bad translator?

Omg this is hilarious! Never saw this one before.

They need to tighten their belt, poor thing.

HUZZAH!!!

I agree that’s something you need to pay attention to, for sure. That doesn’t mean all developers therefore need to use AI in their applications, it just means you should stay up to date and aware of these things.

I don’t know what that is; not a professional developer. And I truly meant when I said no offense because I was simply latching onto your comment to address the principle. If you - or whomever - don’t have a problem with integrating AI, then my statement isn’t directed toward you. It seemed based on your wording, that you’re opposed to it but accept the inevitability and therefore embrace it. That’s exactly what allows it to flourish - everyone sharing that reaction.

It’s also like 99% Shorts nowadays. Just keep coking up that media-induced Attention Deficit Disorder. People’s attention spans are not quite short enough yet. Like when you start a video and IMMEDIATELY a banner comes up and covers half the screen and says HEY CLICK HERE TO WATCH THIS OTHER VIDEO! Click Click click clickclickclickclickclickclickclickclick have some caffeine too.

Good thing I never bother with YouTube’s feed. I use a downloader to grab subscribed new videos and that’s that. They dug their own graves.

Laziest attitude. An excuse to just comply and conform. If it’s something you oppose, then fucking oppose it. Your expression of apathy is what most people do, but plenty don’t really want to. Then grow a spine. No offense with my hyperbole.

kek 😛

It’s kinda like root-ish privileges. It facilitates doing things that you’re not technically prohibited from accessing, but there simply is no interface for. It uses administrative console commands (administrative in the management sense, not like administrator=root sense) to execute changes that don’t have any pathway built-in for the end-user.

Personally, nearly all my devices are rooted, but I did use Shizuku for some accessories on a few devices. It’s a bit of ado to setup; not difficult just a handful of steps. Worth it if you really need or want to do something the GUI won’t provide and you’ll likely find more uses down the line.

Just get a penile implant already. Then you can stop having to buy giant truck, guns and all that compensation paraphernalia. 🤪

I can totally see what you mean. I guess the thing is maybe due to my age, but coming from a good portion of my life during which organization and pattern-keeping was crucial to accessing your information, I became accustomed to very precise categorization and filing. Therefore I rarely use or need any kind of search mechanism due to not remembering where something is. Indeed, even my entire file system on clients and servers alike is very heirarachical and I only need to search when I need massive quantities of data that will invariably come from many sources.

I think searchability these days has rendered a sense of organization seem unnecessary by younger people. Even the idea of knowing what a file is and where it is, to many is a foreign concept.

But I get your point because depending on the size and scope of the project, especially with multiple participants, the idea of a single-minded structure is a joke.

Maybe I should dedicate some time to learning Obsidian. What I’d really like, to be honest, probably would be better with a personal wiki. I want a complete knowledgebase of everything I document, and that screams wiki. I could segregate stuff into their own projects but what’s the benefit? None really. I realize that now. And I can alwyas have access restrictions based on authentication, so that’s not a concern.

Thank you for sharing your insight. 😀

I have been desperately wanting a OneNote clone for years. Back in the early 2010s I used it for a massive project and it was absolute perfection. I’m talking about seriously heavy project with several users and many hundreds of pages, sections etc.

I’ve yet to find anything even approaching being close to as easy and well-organized and well-presented. I looked a little at Obsidian and I’ll try some more to learn it. OneNote took like a minute to learn and everything followed a standard intuitive design as most desktop applications of the day. I’ve been advised to look at Joplin, Obsidian and a few more, and I’ve given them a quick review but none even hold a candle to OneNote. It’s so sad because I’ve moved away from anything MS, and especially because it absolutely refuses to play well with any storage other than OneDrive, so I ended it when MS took away most of everyone’s included storage capacity. That was it for me.

I really wish we could just get an exact clone but one that let the data be on a local server. I would love to be able to use it on Linux and Android, and if possible, iOS. There’s just nothing that is as polished. One of MS’s best products ever. :-(
