It's maddening that my telco will negotiate a roaming rate on my behalf, and it's 100x worse than what a random dude in a supermarket can sell me.

That graph is trash. The baseline needs to be at zero.

20 years ago, a friend said "Windows does whatever you don't tell it not to do". It is as true now as it was then.

90% of configuring Windows is disabling shit.

My 6a on GrapheneOS stopped working months ago and I've spent hours trying to figure out what I had changed in an attempt to fix it.

Google broke it at their end? For no reason but spite? What cunts.

Ironically, it's the innocent-looking white boxes that are hellspawn devices of pure evil that will wiretap your house, force you into a subscription service and have a 2-year planned obsolescence timebomb in it.

Meanwhile anything that resembles an arachnid will let you do whatever you want, support every imaginable open standard, and work with community firmware that will still be supported a decade later.

Road taxes should increase after certain dimensions and weights. Bonnet/hood height should be one.

Also, safety ratings should give equal weighting to the a vehicle's impact absorbtion and impact contribution. It's insane that something is considered safe solely because the occupant is protected.

Imagine buying a piece of hardware and actually owning it.

Sony should invent a way for people to buy a movie, own it, and be able to store it on a shelf or something. Maybe we can even lend them to friends or start a library.

I wonder how long before I can send someone a .7z file without "hurr durr I can't open this".

Like, OpenDocument support exists in Office 2003 and I still encounter those who can't open a .odt file.

How ironic. "Running out of other people's money" is a term that Trumpers use to describe communism.
