Saw a couple of words that (as far as I know) aren't "modern standard Arabic" is there any bias towards a dialect or another?

I was 100% certain that there will be someone: "well actually, its not real money until ..."

8GB of ram places it in competition with cheap chromebooks but nothing more

That's a bit... uninformed, there are and historically have been plenty of non-chromebook laptops with 8 GB of memory in that price bracket (HP, Samsung, Lenovo, ASUS, etc).

And now they're digital waste

One of the examples of devices which are e-waste from the time they were manufactured. But people won't listen. Soon there will be lots of complains of people that they can't run more than one app on it and that it's garbage. It's like macbook 12". It's funny that some people believe that 8GB of RAM will make software developers rethink their RAM consumption and that they will now optimize their apps because of it.

À really good read explaining why, how and the economics of running such a platform.

No surprise, the people behind YGG were snooping on their users and secretly keeping copy of payment info (amongst other shady stuff)


There is no reason for this increase except the fact that they know people are too lazy to migrate away.

Most of the listed features don't make any sense as core value propositions (wtf is AI-powered item naming)


I just wrote up my migration plan. This is going to be very painful.

Step 1 is deleting accounts I don’t use anymore. I did 2 of them today. One required an email, another required a phone call. Both were rather painful, but at least I was able to get them done within the day. I have 320 accounts left to go through.

I have been wanting to reign in my digital footprint, so I guess this is a good excuse, it’s just very difficult. Last year I tried to delete a PSN account (I have 2 of them). I waited on hold with Sony for 45 minutes for them to just hang up on me. I also got caught in captcha hell a few times.

I also have to be willing to let things ago. I found an old Zinio account. I assumed the company would be dead (digital magazines), but they are still going, my account still works, and I have dozens of magazines in there I purchased 15 years ago when the iPad launched. Do I keep it around just incase, or let it go… there are going to be a lot of things like this. I almost feel like I need to take time off work to deal with this.

They're not wrong. I'm a geeky guy with a tech resume as long as your arm, and I'd really rather do something else beside research how to export 1PWD data to something else, then import to $TOOL_OF_CHOICE. I'm sure it's not all that hard, and maybe that's part of the problem: it's monkey work, not an interesting technical challenge, right up there with "clean the gutters".


You can export the vault data (one export per vault) in a format that is largely supported by other password software to import. It's annoying but not terrible.


Migrate to what exactly? And what happens when the thing you migrate to also increase prices?


Exactly. Every other software is either:

1) Temporarily not yet enshittified, at a discount rate to get market share

2) Actually just shit / pure vendor lock in

The merry-go-round is tiring


Below are a few valid reason to increase the price a software company charge their customer.

1. R&D 2. Increase salary 3. Increase OpEx


just here to say i love Open-Meteo keep up the good work !


Why would Facebook or LinkedIn ever give you this?

As an early OnePlus user (1, 3, 5, 7, 13) i find myself unimpressed with what Nothing is proposing, feels more like a design exercise than a flagship killer


I think the writing has been on the wall since they started their Nord line.


Do you mean because the previous "flagship killer" company now needed a "flagship killer" sub-brand, since they could no longer be categorised as such?


Exactly, why did they end up in a situation where they are making killers of their "main" phones ?


Because all midrange phones are "flagship killers" on a features basis now, flagships are just about the exclusivity. The market has adapted and the term no longer makes much sense. OnePlus still leads on custom ROM support though, e.g. no special codes or waiting times needed for unlocking the bootloader, it all works out of the box with standard commands.

Google Pixel would like to have a word. Though they regressed since they stopped shipping device trees in AOSP.


What was the issue with the Nord line?


yeah, i'd like to know that too. i have a oneplus nord running /e/OS and i am quite happy with it. in fact it's probably the best phone i had so far performance wise (i got it refurbished at a very good price which may have something to do with that though)
