Windows is slowly transitioning from a paid and solid OS to freemuim spyware bloated dumb OS.

Ask here in lemmy.

I posted a question a couple of days ago in Windows 98 community. After submitting the post, I noticed last post submitted was 2 years ago.

I felt down and thought about deleting the post but to my surprise I got an answer in an hour or so.

I’m not subscribing to streaming services.

I’ll ditch the idea of watching TV the moment my arr setup stop working.

I use RSS to get feeds for subs that are not active in lemmy.

Many posts are dog shit level now. Either looking for help or just garbage.

Check out r/lemmino lol.

Is that 1d mean it was posted a day ago?

Shit, how come it can survive a whole day without being removed.

Sail the high seas guys

It’s evident now their target is not hamas.

And they’re puzzled why they’re hated.

Too tall, wide, and long. While parking spaces have the same 1985 car standard size.

Most drivers where I live doesn’t even bother to park between lines anymore since you cannot get in/out of your vehicle if everybody park properly.

curl -L -o ubuntu.iso https://releases.ubuntu.com/22.04/ubuntu-22.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso

Yeah. This is better.

We need a solid linux phone fast.

Israel bombed refugee camps, targeted ambulance, and killed press personnel so yeah

I’d prefer to go back to html only websites with as little JavaScript and CSS as possible.

I think the best website designs are from the late 90s early 2000s.

I am sick of modern minimalist UI where functionality is not a priority.

I always prefer win32 applications for this reason.

So the title did its job which is you understand nothing until you enter their site, drive traffic, display ads, and possibly collect your data in the process.

I’ve already made the decision to sail the high seas in 2017 and selfhost my media.

Best decision I’ve ever made.

Sonarr + radarr + jellyfin

I think lemmygrad isn’t that bad considering pedo.school is halfway through the list.

They’re speed running their product enshitification.

Video summary by Ollama AI:

The video discusses several shady practices employed by Microsoft, including:

1. Forced upselling: Microsoft changed the plan and pricing of a user's Office 365 subscription without their consent, effectively forcing them to pay more for features they didn't want.
2. Renaming and hiding plans: Microsoft renamed an existing plan (e.g., "Personal" to "Classic") and made it less visible in the user interface, while introducing a new plan with similar features at a higher price point.
3. Hallucination problem: The AI-powered feature "co-pilot" generated fabricated information, which is a known issue in generative AI.
4. Overpromising free benefits: Microsoft sales representatives touted "free AI credits" as a benefit of the more expensive plan, but these credits were not actually free and had limited value.
5. Misleading users about pricing changes: The price hike was effectively hidden by renaming and rebranding existing plans, making it unclear whether the user's subscription had actually changed in price.

The video suggests that Microsoft engaged in these practices to push customers into using features they might not want or need, rather than providing transparent and honest information about their plans and pricing.

Ok so I am a youtube premium subscriber. And to have the best experience, I had to install 4 plugins Sponsorblock, Dislike button back, Dearrow, ublock (to remove shorts).

After thier recent changes to their search engine, it might be more efficient to cancel my subscription and use piped.

Yeah let’s offer them a subscription model.

Almost all countries other than USA, Russia, and China have to pick a side.
