- Comment on Apple’s lock on iPhone browser engines gets a December deadline 1 week ago:
Yep, apart from the bugs that really annoys me, too. To effectively debugg an issue on iOS, you need an iPhone and connect it to a Mac (or iPad) to use the debug tools.
Every other browser can be run on a typical PC. You can emulate Android, run Firefox and Chrome and just get cracking. I’m not getting paid to buy an expensive device to do my work, lol.
- Comment on AOL will end dial-up internet service in September, 34 years after it's debut — AOL Shield Browser and AOL Dialer software will be shuttered on the same day 1 week ago:
Michael MJD tested the AOL Desktop six months ago. It was surprisingly competent and got regular updates: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUsym8iAWHY
- Comment on Apple’s lock on iPhone browser engines gets a December deadline 1 week ago:
Websites won’t be tested properly on Safari anymore
They only have to be test on Safari specifically, because it’s doing some things differently from Mozilla and Chrome. Guess Apple will finally have to use their money to actually fix those issues.
- Comment on Apple’s lock on iPhone browser engines gets a December deadline 1 week ago:
Mozilla said last time they don’t want to maintain two variants of their browser. So unless Apple finally decides custom browser engines are allowed worlwide, a real Firefox probably won’t happen.
I doubt EU and Japan have enough traction to change Apple’s mind on this issue.
- Comment on Unneccessary long context menus on YouTube Music 1 week ago:
They keep adding and rearranging the menu items though, so I still have to look where they put the shit I’m looking for again. Not as annoying as burying the stuff behind a thousand dropdowns, but…mildly infuriating. :D
- Comment on Unneccessary long context menus on YouTube Music 1 week ago:
I disagree. Who needs a special item called “Stats for Nerds” hanging in there? Nerds know how to enable them in the app settings.
What really bugs me about this menu is that they keep rearranging the items and I need to search where the hell “Save to Playlist” went again. And I often confuse “Save to Library” and “Save to Playlist”, because isn’t that like the same thing, but called different?
YouTube Music’s UI is getting increasingly messy and frustrating.

- Comment on New Android POS at work has 4 notifications but I can't clear them because their MDM locks the notification bar. 3 weeks ago:
Absolutely. I got a Nothing Phone for my dad a year ago and he has never updated it. Still running on NothingOS 2.x while they already released 3.x with tons of new features.
But he made sure to set up really loud and obnoxious ringtones. Never change. :D
- Comment on Windows 11 has finally overtaken Windows 10 as the most used desktop OS 5 weeks ago:
I upgraded to Fedora and convinced my employer that I really need to run this at work, too. Fuck Microsoft.

- Comment on Apple TV+ is painful as fuck 2 months ago:
I didn’t even know they had a Smart TV app. What TV are you using?
- Comment on Apple TV+ is painful as fuck 2 months ago:
I always get so hyped up when the intro music plays, it’s amazing!
- Comment on Apple TV+ is painful as fuck 2 months ago:
The content is worth getting paid for. The app just isn’t. :D
- Comment on Apple TV+ is painful as fuck 2 months ago:
It probably works fine if you use an Apple device, although people have run into the aged-restricted content not playing on MacOS, too.

- Comment on Why we’ve fallen out of love with dating apps 2 months ago:
okcupid was amazing back then, I wrote with so many interesting people and had unique and lengthy conversations. Another platform fucked up by capitalism and greed.
- Comment on Why we’ve fallen out of love with dating apps 2 months ago:
it was pretty clear that these apps were dogshit designed to steal information while keeping you engaged with bots
They haven’t always been, though. I remember the good old times of okcupid - they had a system of interest you could enter and then they linked those interests to a search of people in the database. It was so effective to find people listening to the same music, playing the same games…
They removed the whole thing after they got bought out, removing one of the biggest features that made the platform unique. It explains why there are still a lot of people around recommend platforms like Tinder and okcupid, they remember their positive experiences and maybe even found a partner. But those times are long over.
- Comment on RIP obsolete tech 3 months ago:
“Foray in the Forest” is a community mod and it’s bigger than 1.44MB. I coul’ve split that up into multiple floppies, but I don’t have a modern PC with a floppy drive, so the easiest way was to burn a CD.
- Comment on RIP obsolete tech 3 months ago:
Don’t have a ZIP drive, only a 1.44meg floppy drive.

I have two Xeon E5-2697A v4’s in my system. 32 cores. My machine runs the latest AAA titles like Indiana Jones on maximum settings flawlessly.
Microsoft: “Just throw it away, bro.” Bless Lord Gaben for making Proton so good, I can run 95% of my Steam library on Linux, with better performance.

Just copy
C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/to/home/yourname/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/and Steam will recognize those games are already present when you try to download them. - Comment on CSS moment 6 months ago:
- Comment on Germany’s four-day work week proves to be a massive hit 6 months ago:
It’s only a test run done by a few companies, though. I’m a German and having a four day work week is still highly unlikely. Most people work 40h/week or more, from Monday to Friday.
I’m in the very lucky position to have a 30 hour work week. 3x8,1x6 and Fridays off. None of the people I know work like this, they either simply can’t afford it or they don’t have enough leverage against their employer to make it possible.
Also, the conservative parties in our political system are actively pushing against it, demanding even more work to compensate for our rapidly aging population and they will be back in office after February. What a time to be alive.

Also it will release fumes that you don’t want near your food.
- Comment on No one: Laptop. Could this be hardware or software related? 7 months ago:
This. Especially since they still have the worst hinge designs on notebooks I’ve ever seen and they have continued to build them so shoddily for years. It must be deliberate at this point.
