Companies pay for google to show up high in search results. Some of them pay from clicks.

Now people stop at the slop which is the first thing thry see in the results.

This makes traffic to company sites go down which also affects google revenue.

This is actually a good thing. Google get paid for referrals and niw their “AI” shit turns against it.

Konqueror

Yes. We’re talking about Konqueror fork

Article basically says Google bad yet in the very bottom is a button to add in preferred Google sources.

If Google bad, steer away from it then.

Yeah. Until the major enshittification with the name of Unity or whatever it was called after Gnome 2.

And now the last enshittification, fucking persistent snaps, in the 'buntu family removed me from Kubuntu to Arch family.

And don’t get me wrong, snaps have their place. I had one packet I needed from snap and wanted to have everything else from ppa repositories like the normal way. And then the shit started to change my FF to snap. No matter what I did, prioritize and all. No awail.

Yeah. Been through the buntu’s and gave them a lot of chances. Kubuntu was really good all the way to 25.04.

I miss the periodical enshittification.

My Linux is not ever going to have any age verification.

I’m not living in those backwards contry and if that push ever comes to shove, there will always be way around it. It’s the beauty of open source, no entity is liable to comply. And we’re in the brink of ad-hoc internet which would render that stupid centralized and overgoverned shit to zero.

Holy Hell!

This definitely will be on my shopping list. At the top. I hope they bring to all devices and not only higher end.

This news aligns quite well with the Levovo T series ThinkPad repairability.

Other major tech companies sail towards more and more closed environments.

We have lots of fusion reactors.

They just release years of energy in a split second.

Short answer = Nope.

PlugOS does not run in the phone, but in the thumb device named PlugMate.

Running OS in any phone is not possible as bootloaders are tailored to specific SoC:s and proprietary to manufacturers and they really do not share the sources.

If it would be possible we would have quite wild mobile phone linux scene.

By definition it is a meme.

meme /miːm/ noun noun: meme; plural noun: memes 1. an image, video, piece of text, etc., typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by internet users, often with slight variations. “celebrity gossip and memes often originate on the site” 2. an element of a culture or system of behaviour passed from one individual to another by imitation or other non-genetic means.

So people can just “install OS somewhere else and bring the system to California”. Like mock location. What would be their take on this regarding to people who visit California and have their OS driven things with them.

Well. When masses opt out from newer equipment and companies revenue needs them to use theur services, they just need to revise end of support date.

I myself will not ever use thin clients. If that ever comes to reality, I will just drop my phone off.

I also think that as Google is closing it’s android ecosystem next september and the phones will be more expensive there will emerge need and supply for lighter and open chips to build alternatives to ios and android.

Laptops on the other hand seem to have reasonably long lifespan. My oldest still on use is from 2011.

I bet this will make people to hang on to what thay have for longer and thus force software companies finally create better optimisations and stop making everythung more resource hungry. Alternatively people would just have to drop off the crazy train.

This is HR issue. They should make AI to oversee what happens in recruit event.

For me employment is agreement between responsive adult and company which is also represented by responsible adult.

Why not let responsible adults just handle the work like reponsible adults with minimal distraction from the company?

HR should hire responsible adults who will to do the job right.

– Ahh shit. It’s money issue. You can’t hire responsible adults on minimum wage. Minimum wage cover bare minimum of what is needed to handle the job. AI will not fix that.
