    All you’ve managed to do is show everyone with more certainty that you’re dumb as fuck. The first one was bad, full of errors you’d expect a child to not make, and this one isn’t any better.

    I would not be surprised at all if you were a 12-year-old with learning disabilities.

    Idk the AI tools are pretty helpful and they don’t fit with the rest as they’re FOSS and free as in free beer. Just pirate the Adobe products too, there’s still nothing quite like Photoshop and lightroom and premiere

    Chromium can’t be enshittified. It’s open source, anyone can fork it if they don’t llike what Google did with it.

      Chromium is killing manifest v2 and adblockers still use manifest v2

        Brave, Opera and Vivaldi managed to bypass that. Their adblockers still work.

          By using a flag for the enterprise release. Once that gets removed, they’d have to maintain the MV2 code themselves. Good luck with that

        To be fair, it had its moments. Windows 95 was a pretty big step forwards and the alternative was OS/2 Warp, which has some nice features but was from IBM, who were still dreaming of replacing the PC with a vertically-integrated home computer again.

        Windows 2000 (or XP starting with SP2) was also solid. 7 was alright. None of those had too much bullshit bundled with them.

        Everything since Windows 8 has been some flavor of shitty, though.

          As a vehement Microsoft hater, Windows 2000 is really the only one I considered great. Windows XP meant dumping the 9x garbage into NT and spelled the beginning of the end for the actually good NT variant of Windows.

    How have macOS (its correct name) and iOS been enshittified? As a daily driver of both I haven’t seen anywhere near the level of advertising and privacy violations on them as I’ve read about on other platforms.

      Its seems less on the software side, but more of a hardware reparability and cost issue.

      For the iphone 16, going from 128GB to 512GB is $200.

      The new Mac mini is asking for $200 for 8GB extra of ram, and $800 for 2TB of (non-removable, encrypted) storage (the base model is only $600). For an extra $1200 you can upgrade the Mac mini to have 32GB RAM, 2TB of Storage and 10GB ethernet.

      For reference a good Samsung top of line 2tb nvme drive is about $200. And most 32gb ddr5 kits are about $100. So instead of $300, you pay $1100.

      On the software front, they are more stable. If you jumped from a 2014 iPhone to a 2024 iPhone (and iOS), it’d be similar enough you wouldn’t feel you’re on a brand new OS.

      Good luck trying that with android (or even windows to some extent).

        Oh yeah I always forget people still cry about that. I’m a big fan of the unified experience that the software and hardware bring together, and that experience hasn’t been poor for me.

    Not all subscription based services are malicious. Case in point: Bitwarden is incredibly cheap (10€ per year) and is the best password manager I have ever used. Also services that need constant upkeep costs, such as your carrier, ISP, perhaps even a VPS (I use Hetzner for that), have simply no way to be one-time payments.

        I tried keepass, but the autofill is subpar at best. Also, the syncing is a bit hard to set up and often fails because of conflicts.

      There was some drama recently with Bitwarden. They sorted it out now but it nearly became enshitified.

        Eh, everything points to a mistake. Bitwarden not only rectified it ASAP but also made the switch to GPLv3. The latter is not just something you do to please people, you need to understand the legal ramifications it can have on your business, so it very likely was a change that’s been discussed before all of this.
