But imagine being able to use shaders to change your perception. Like “I’m going with the Virtual Boy this morning!”

Is it that time when I say “oh shit!” and starts to look at alternatives? I’ve seen this scenario a hundred times already and I’m tired.

It’s nice of you to think that everyone has 20k€ to waste on a new car.

You mean like French brands like Renault receiving free money since the 80s? If I can afford a Chinese car, it’s still better than a French brand that I cannot afford.

Why do you think the only US brand available in France is Ford? Because they are the only ones who managed to stay despite a lack of subsidies. Chevrolet tried to enter the French market a few years ago, they closed shop and said “fuck it.”

GrapheneOS is actually the most bland stock ROM you can find, and it’s amazing for that. Android without Google. Some people complain that banking applications may not work, but it’s highly specific to a country and that bank.

I have no complaint and no problem so far, it’s the best ROM I have ever used.

AI coach

lol, nope.

I know you kid and I’m sure you a good German but:

SUSE started in 1994 according to Wikipedia. At the time, it was one of the only good and stable Linux distribution that you could reliably install anywhere without tweaking configuration files all over the place.

IIRC, all the previous distributions have been obsoleted once Ubuntu was available.

Yes. But Apple is pushing so many things as opt-out (especially their AI detection crap for photos and stuff) that I now consider GrapheneOS to be the only OS left for a phone.

That’s a lot of words to defend Waymo.

I had a Zip drive with a 386 and it was really good for backups. 100 MB instead of 1.44 MB! But it was painful to setup and slow as hell. It was only good for serious companies or pirates I guess.

Same answer. You now have 2 devices, 2 batteries to charge, twice the volume in your pocket. iPod = Android + VLC. Nostalgia is stupid sometimes.

I compress everything from FLAC to Opus, and I have way more content than an iPod. Also the iPod cannot read the Opus format unless you’re prepared to install an alternative OS.

PIP, personal improvement plan: you must be faster than the AI for one week. You fail, you’re fired.

Qobuz still had a lot of music slop 2 months ago. They promised to clean that up but I’m not sure if they really did it.

Your JS overlay is annoying and stupid.

Regular TVs also use Linux nowadays. The smart shit is an application on top of that.

I can confirm the price of new cars in France, it seems to be everywhere. Also, “thanks to” leasing, you would think most people can afford BMWs and brand new big cars at a very high price. It’s really irresponsible when you know that they don’t earn enough for those cars, and they will lose thousands of dollars in the process.

His last good movie was in 2000. You’re right.

I didn’t realize he was that guy. He made a few good movies 20 years ago when he was young and rebellious, but he’s been a nobody for a very ling time.

More laughs for me.

I’m still amazed that all those companies have stolen the names of older programs, like https://xchat.org/ or Gemini.

60 employees were dead in the water, as reportedly their daily workflows rely on the AI assistant’s

Is that a joke? 60 employees do not know how to do their job? This is not Anthropic’s problem.
