Yeah exactly. “Just” 240 MB, it’s still a lot for a glorified chat app

Exactly. I’m using a fork, which is AI-generated, but still way better and lighter than the original client: https://spotifast.rocks/

Openshot has a long history. It used to be super buggy in the past, I haven’t tried it recently. But at least is not some new kind of AI slop.

I highly suggest you to read “Enshittification” by Cory Doctorow, especially the new and updated version.

They stripped our freedom to own our devices. We need a revolution.

+1 for Fossify, the developer is a great guy who forked the old and now ad-riddled Simple Gallery

If they shut their big system down, it’s gone.

Not only that, but if they enshittify (and they do it) there’s nothing you can do. Lemmy, by definition, cannot enshittify.

Syntax highlighting? In this economy?

I can’t wait to buy a video accelerator and hard disks for cheap again. So I can’t wait for the AI bubble to pop. The only problems is that the whole economy will tank at the same time…

At this point, we should also legalize becoming a President if you’re not born in the USA.

Imagine Zohran Mamdani as President…

Exactly, they don’t care about users, they just care about money.

Examples? See what they’re doing with Gemini. Even Pro (paying) users will be downgraded to Gemini Flash in less than one month.

Not crash them, but they’ll probably need to make Gmail/Outlook into a paid service in order to cover all the costs.

Google Ads is slowly dying, because people just ask AI instead of searching and navigating websites, and that was Google’s biggest revenue.

It depends. Some hotels have shareable rooms with doors between them that they can open if a big group is renting contiguous rooms. That’s always been nice in my experience.

Exactly. Finally some sane choices by Airbnb.

But I wonder what’s the real reason, because no company is so nice towards final customers. Maybe Airbnb saw a decrease on booking on their platform because people are rightly fed up with that bullshit and they just prefer hotels.

Me too. I’m still on macOS 15 because I can’t stand the mess they did with Liquid Ass on macOS 26+.

I’ll just move to Linux Mint in a few months…

My European mind cannot comprehend how a word can upset people.

I think we’re getting close to a pop.

Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Especially after they lobbied/bribed the ISO committee into approving the broken and closed-source OOXML as if it was an open standard

At first I thought you meant that “the Orange” (i.e. Donald) made the correct decision into ruining the US so much that the Dutch autorithies decided to ditch Office. lol

That’s true. Google is so censored you can’t find anything. And on the other hand, dark web search engines let you find things you’d rather not know about
