“Only problem” is quite a stretch. Those devices are borderline unrepairable.

Of the first task? Yikes.

You do realize that what you’re saying might’ve been the goal all along? It’s literally an “I’m altering the deal, pray I don’t alter it further” vader moment and you’re saying you’re relieved. Make no mistake, you, me and every single Android user was just fucked over and it’ll only get worse.

I sincerely doubt that will actually come into fruition. There’s no way to force all linux distros to have that. At least I hope there isn’t.

When has your imaginary scenario ever been a problem? Can you name a single example where that has happenned? Stop making excuses for corporations fucking over their users.

“Not quire as bad”? My dude, you have to ask for permission from a corporation to install an app on your phone that you supposedly own and paid for. On what planet is this not awful?

Apparently Kling was against using “they” instead of “he”. While I do agree that it’s wrong and gender neutral terms should be used, I wouldn’t “cancel” the guy over it. Afaik they are using gender neutral terms now.

The other stuff about Kling mentioned at the bottom of your link is worrying though. It’s a shame a project as important and necessary as Ladybird was created by a person like him :(

Can you provide an example of this non-inclusive language? I honestly can’t even come up with an example for web browser documentation that would refer to any gender at all.

I did not know about the AI stuff. However, I do think that the “inclusion” controversy is way overblown. Why in the world would you need to have “gender inclusive language” in the docs for a browser engine?

Hopefully Ladybird will be production ready at some point.

Unless you’re intentionally trying to do harm then not really, no.

It also deleted their codebase and ordered hundreds of kgs of meat.

Did you really watch it? It most certainly caused problems in the show as well.

I cancelled my subscription when they made the copilot plan the default and switched me to it without asking. I’m now selfhosting nextcloud and using libreoffice.

You don’t need to host your “digital life” with Apple for that. Nor do you need to host it in a single place either.

Even if he indeed was more critical in the past, he was never very knowledgeable about the actual technical side of the products he reviewed.

So you think that they’re not using your data simply because they’re not telling you that they are? Don’t be naive. Since when are these companies asking for permission? I’m not even confident opting out does anything. At this point, your safest bet is to not use their services.

5 feet is pretty damn close and using a mouse on an armrest sounds like punishment.

Those barely exist. When I bought my Sony 5V, it was because it was like 1 of 2 or 3 new high end models that still had both the jack and an sd card slot.
