Firefox always has tabs, in fact even the Mozilla Application Suite had them since 2001. Gmail came out 3 years later. Though I would have thought that there were about 5 years between these events

Debian systems have optionally collected this kind of data way before systemd existed via adduser.

-filter_complex sends its regards

Trust is hard to earn, but easy to lose - I’d be very careful to trust my data with a company that’s willing to play these games.

They’ve been caught lying before when they introduced the branded drives requirement, but it was too obvious to not see through it. Their backtracking was pure damage control.

Trusting your data with a company that’s just waiting for the right opportunity to extract money from you is not something I’d do. I’d consider their devices time bombs and would take measures to not be impacted when they hold your data hostage. I’m not saying this will happen, their made it very obvious that the risk is there.

Yesteryear’s technology for the price of a complete system

My 2020 PC build has twice the RAM, and it’s also faster, yet it cost less - not the memory, the whole machine, with a ryzen 3900x, a graphics card, 1 TB of flash memory.

Ahahahaha that’s just laughable

The backlash when they only allowed self-branded (overpriced) drives for their systems was so large that universal hard drive compatibility was their main message at it-sa 2025. Huge banners at their stall advertising what you’d imagine is the bare minimum!

I never bought their shit because it was always overpriced. “But their software is so good and easy!” Thanks, I consider myself capable enough to configure a machine myself.

They’re sucha company that doesn’t understand that for proper enshittification, your users must not have alternatives that they can easily switch to. But there’s no proper lockdown effect for a NAS manufacturer: existing customers can just keep using their old systems, and new ones can use competitors / implement the functionality themselves.

But now they have revealed that they’re just as greedy as others and will happily squeeze you for some extra cash, without offering any more value. You need to hide the fact that your product gets worse for the money! Get rid of existing plans and make sure new ones have additional features (they don’t have to make sense, AI would be a perfect contender if people didn’t hate it) that you can use to justify the price hike!

I know you’re joking, but this is for when you have a reboarder type baby car seat in the passenger seat, in that case the airbag must be deactivated

nix

It’s just good business, cutting costs that only affects the quality of the product, but not the bottom line

These are not cat ears, but rather squinted eyes of a happy face

At least that was my interpretation at the time

No

If you are particularly deranged, you can also use “^^”

Then why do they vary by hotel?

This is just silly. I recently saw Las Vegas hotels doing something similar though to a much lesser extent where it’s called “resort fees”. Should be illegal but it doesn’t affect me since I’m not traveling to the US

Good rant, though it could use some more caps lock. 7/10

Honey bees aren’t at risk of extinction

Have this game as well I think, is kind of rare to have just a photo of people on the box without the game or anything

Short answer: yes.

Long answer: see above

Not sure the term applies to MS Teams. It was always a rushed shitty product, pushed onto customers during COVID when companies like Zoom gained tons of users. Few people if any asked for it

It’s us millennials coping haha
