If you have an iOS device, this browser extension is a godsend: https://gosinkit.com/

Yes, I was talking from an hardware perspective. Most companies where I have been don’t deploy the pre-installed image, since it has a ton of bloatware!

Yeah, I really like the hardware of ProBook/EliteBook but the software is atrocious when used with the default Image.

For Small Companies, I kinda like Wolf Security, as it has some nice sandbox features, but for medium-size companies where you already have an security endpoint, I think it’s more of an issue.

Just because people don’t agree with you, it means they never coded? GTFO, I’ve written system integrations by myself using Java (so I know a bit how it works), does that makes my opinion worthy?

Thank god I’m retiring from development soon. Fuck all of this.

It’s because developers like you, the software world got into shit. Good bye! You won’t be missed!

Just because you develop for both platforms using the latest API’s and shiny new IDE’s doesn’t it make it true (even though your ego thinks so).

I can show you Nero 7 (Google it if you don’t know what it is, smartass) running in Win 11 Pro. Also I have old Epson printer which the software (I’m not talking about drivers) never got updated and I still use in Win 10.

So, believe whatever the fuck you want. Just don’t call it bullshit because you don’t know any better. And don’t worry, I’ve dealt with shitty developers like you who think they know it all.

That’s because you probably:

1. Use MacOS/iOS
2. You upgraded your OS to a new version (because Widgets on desktop are so cool, even though they existed in Vista).
3. You did step 1 and step 2.

I also use Apple devices, but I tend to avoid upgrading the system, unless it’s security patches, since Apple likes to break things without caring for repercussions.

You know that a lot of software made for Windows XP still works in that garbage Win 11 system, out-of-the-box?

Microsoft’s search engine is nowhere near as good as Google’s.

What you wrote was true maybe 3 (or more) years ago. Google search is garbage by now. Only people who are exclusively using it, believes that it’s the same engine as in the past.

Is that a new app for Lemmy? I just tend to use Voyager. How does that one compares to it?

To be fair, as someone who also works with hardware on an enterprise level, HP enterprise hardware is good and (yeah, this will sound weird) repair-friendly.

But on a consumer-level should be avoided like the plague!

My advice: install Chocolatey, and then a GUI for it. After that you can forget that garbage called MS Store.

Mobile gaming has been so shitty that I basically only install some games from a decade ago.

So much wasted potential 🙄

Basic Economy?

Wake up Jim!!! You have heard that story so many times that I guess by now, you believe the bullshit you wrote.

That basic economy only makes sense if we are dealing with applications that required a server or continuous maintenance (you know, the real service-apps).

And don’t use the expected updates argument, because no one demands or feels entitled to constant and lifetime updates. I still use apps built years ago that still work. And guess what, they work. Yeah, hard to believe right?

The old business model worked for years and a lot of apps are still around, they didn’t went bankrupt. But it’s okay to believe that this business model would be unsustainable without this, they need people like you to feed the machine 😅

Who says I’m angry?

I’m not angry, just disappointed ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

They didn’t share what was the criteria used to choose them.

Maybe you’re right…

Yes, and no. There are still a lot of good apps without that business model, but it’s hard to find them and they are not well known.

But this is the path that Apple wanted. 🤷‍♂️

No, I’m suggesting that they are being biased and choosing apps that fit their criteria. Remember, it was them who advised the devs to go into that path, in the first place.

Sorry if it wasn’t well written (I did it on the phone, and I’ll revise the text later).

What I meant to say, is that almost all the apps chosen by Apple are based on in-app monthly (or annual) subscriptions.

I can fix her!!! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I use a mix of browser (Windows and tablet) and NetNewsWire (iPhone).

I got one cheap, but OMG it’s ridden with ads. I guess it’s too late for me to root it, no?
