I somewhat agree: tech peaked just when it was high end and absolutely not relying on manufacturer’s cloud / subscription / customer portal enrollment … 😓

They’ve been doing that with intel for ages, one build a slower OS the other a faster processor.

Checking before buy buying will be possible for computer and privacy « educated » people only, that leaves almost everyone helpless in the real world, in a store facing TVs all playing the demo video. Maybe some will read Amazon reviews or do actual research… hope.

That’s my plan too

And now it is Gòógle

How dare you, it identifies as a baguette

“don’t be evil” , does it ring a bell ?

Here, a baguette : ##########

Does it play Tokyo Drift as a boot sound?

I agree on the unfortunate and predictable bluesky’s future. Corporate, politics, ads… Avoiding to become “Xitter” should not rely on end users computer knowledge, technical abilities, geeky mindset. I think you understand that too: KISS is a huge success factor. That’s just my 2cts.

That question would start a very long post. Let’s keep it simple:

1. you may never find your communities again (hashtag ? what is that ? why should I hashtag to make it searchable and make it stick…)
2. your posts may never reach your friends, or general audience (defederation, admin instance ban…)
3. the global timeline is not a global timeline as in X or Bsky, or Insta or any other social media, just what your instance admin and federation relatations “agreed” to show you …

Bluesky is easy on the beginner and mimics X as a whole world in your single feed. Mastodon (fediverse) carry way to much technical concepts to understand and get the most out of it.

Ads coming to bsk in 3…2…1…

Bots are getting more and more chatty, they fill the timeline sometimes :/

Still waiting for Bluesky to start forcing ads in your feed… at some point it is inevitable.

People doesn’t understand mastodon fragmentation/federation. They can only cope with simple concepts like “the whole thing is HERE —> X”

Yes. Typical MS corporate BS. Take “inspiration” from slack and zoom, make it great to steal the market, then make it worse and more expensive every once and a while.
