I wrote this one to strip the custom css from any sub on (old) reddit. I use it on subs I find annoying, like mildlyinfuriating.

javascript:(function(){x=0;s=document.styleSheets;for(const y of s){if(y.title==="applied_subreddit_stylesheet"){if(y.disabled!=true){y.disabled=true;}else{y.disabled=false;}}x++;}})();

For me it's because it seems evident that Microsoft wants Windows to be saas and here's the thing: I don't like Windows that much. For over 20 years now, I've preferred Linux for server stuff and Mac for daily driver stuff, I've only tolerated Windows, mainly for gaming.

Since Windows 7 died (I skipped 8 altogether and reluctantly have been dealing with 10 with lots of hacks to keep it locked down), I have only been barely tolerating it - and games were the sole reason.

Well, Proton has now obliterated that, conveniently right as Microsoft has decided that what people REALLY need is for them to be 100% shit. I refuse to install 11. So I'm out.

This is a fantastic video. I spend less and less time on Reddit now because every time I'm there I eventually get struck with a "this isn't real people" feeling after reading something. It will always be either mundane repetitive bullshit or yet another post demanding civil war or stoking a feeling of helplessness.

Lemmy and Mastodon are slow AF but they still feel mostly real.

*looks around* I'm still waiting to see even the tiniest crack in the fuselage.

I don't understand something in all this. Does anyone seriously believe he's railing against the giveaways to billionaires in this bill?

Because as near as I can tell, what he's saying, and what every Republican who is rethinking this is saying when they say the bill gives them pause, is: the tax breaks are fine as per usual, the problem is the cuts don't go nearly far enough.

Elon Musk appears to me to effectively be saying he will not rest until all social benefits in this country are completely and utterly done away with.

I hope that's a joke. Airpods could be a Fortune 500 company all on their own.

No, I was serious, although after looking into it, I am surprised that hardware makes up 72% of their income. Perhaps they could make up the 28% software revenue shortfall with innovative new hardware and still maintain that 3.06T market cap, eh?

Proton cannot even link to FAQ or customer support pages from its apps, as Apple believes it’s possible that users will then navigate from the support page to a pricing page and upgrade their accounts without paying Apple its fee.

I didn't realize this either.

Yeah, this also is why Apple has been so sluggish on PWAs (and why they won't allow third party browsers). There is literally nothing that can be done in an app that can't be done quicker and easier as a PWA these days. But how is Apple going to make any money if you can publish your own app and take your own payments? They would then become a hardware vendor and that would absolutely ruin them as a company.

Apple will throw everything they've got at this to attempt to maintain the status quo.

No, but I don't use cloud at all, I have a system for doing manual local backups for all my machines. I also have two Windows machines for gaming (that I will be switching to Linux in October) and a Linux media server.

I subbed to salty caramel apple. Love the retro vibe.

I stay several generations behind on purpose now. For one thing, shit costs too much. My Mac is a 2020 Air I got from a friend when his dad died for $300. I can't see myself getting rid of that anytime soon, as it replaced a 2012 model that is still going strong (and is the computer I take into the field for work).

I cannot stand the size of Apple's phones, I had an 8 and then an SE and I tried then to move to a 12 and I absolutely hated everything about it, size, weight - the bullshit camera switching between lenses and turning my zoomed-in photos into bizarre cartoons.

I also far prefer the button, as I have to take hundreds of pictures a day for work and FaceID fails, either by not waking the phone up when I pull it from the holster or by just outright not recognizing me in the sweat and sunglasses, making me have to manually open it, shake it, enter the code, swearing the whole time.

I'm now on an SE2 and when I have to get rid of it I'll go to SE3, but I don't know what comes after that. Androids aren't any better.

This exactly. At some threshold of worth, you should get taxed an amount based on your worth that will be big enough to force you to realize some gains in order to pay it.

This is an illustration of why it's a problem in the first place.
