Is day today having a privacy policy implies that the app is in fact being used for data collection. However, it appears to point to the general Google privacy policy...

My very large organisation has Gimp available for basic image manipulation. I've tried to get them to use Paint.NET instead, but nooooo... Apparently we like hitting nails with jackhammers around here

Absolutely staggering film. I am constantly kicking myself for not watching it in cinemas at release, because my god... My god!!

As a slight tangent, I recently got an electric moped. It has a maximum speed of 48kph, and the speed limit on my route to work and back every day is 50kph.

I bet that if we made a Venn diagram of all the people that say "I'd respect cyclists of they were forced to be registered with number plates and insurance" and the people that insist on overtaking me in single-lane suburban streets because I'm going 2kph below the limit, it would just be a perfect circle.

It runs on Android now, which might be what's gotten Nintendo extra annoyed here, since there are some relatively affordable Android handhelds that can run Switch games at close to full speed with some tweaking.

Having said that, I have an Odin 2 handheld, and it would have been cheaper and easier to just buy a Switch and the games I want to play.

It's not just the enshittification of their own service; it's the fact that so many audios decided to pull their content and set up their own enshittified services.

Now, if I want to watch stuff legally, I have to have a bunch of subscriptions, and we're back to where we started from.

I have a Boox Nova Air. It's a 7" B&W e-reader. It's nice to have a boring Android tablet that also happens to be an e-reader.

I wouldn't recommend ePaper for anything but the very lightest of web browsing. The like refresh rate really is a lot to take in.

Using the pen is nice. It feels a lot like black magic, really. It's just like drawing on paper.

If like to get a colour version to read comics, but let's face it, I can't even remember where my current one is, let alone the last time I turned it on..

I have a novel idea. How about my operating system just being a platform to allow my games and applications to run? I'm sick of Microsoft adding "new features" that slow everything down.

I swear, every time a company adds "AI" to their product, it makes it dumber.

You've inadvertently discovered the Windows Rule: every other version sucks.

they are still based on Chrome or Firefox doesn't really matter, since they remove the undesirable parts of them.

Actually it does matter, since Google are killing off the ability for ad blockers to work with a new manifest specification in Chromium.

As a Spotify Artist, I bet I don't even see a single hundredth of a penny for somebody paying extra for the lyrics, either...

And even if Spotify did pay out extra for lyrics, I'm sure they'd find a way to screw my band out of royalties like they currently are anyway.
