  • Google is making users/consumers not want to use/consume google things by making those things more difficult, more invasive, less user friendly to use/consume.

    That’s it. That’s all.

    If I just want to watch a clip that I could before but now I have to sign in because it thinks I’m a not, NO

    If it wants me to watch ads for things I’ll never buy and actually forces me to, NO.

    If it kills the front ends I prefer to use, or kills the ability to watch via proxy, for my privacy and/or security. NO.

    If it feeds me Nazi shit without clicking a single link on a new install on a new browser with no profile on a new IP, fucking NO.









  • Another reason why it worka in place of the word death in that phrase.

    My only real experience with symbian was waaaaay back when I did tech support for l Sony Ericsson, and while I was more into modding the phones (remember those days?) and playing worms on a 1.5" screen on the walkman line of phones, I did have the p900 and the p1i.

    And let me tell you, OS aside, the P1i was indestructible.

    One exceptionally intoxicated weekend, the gf and I got into a bit of a tiff.

    She grabbed the phone and threw it out the door or the apartment, onto that polished rock type floor.

    It impacted as one would expect.

    Shattered into a hundred pieces.

    But… The screen was the old capacitive touch type, so it was a layer of plastic with a layer of plastic with a layer of plastic with ultra thin wires with a layer of plastic with a layer of glass with a layer of plastic with a layer of metal backing, and the rest of the internals were modular with push in/flip down cable clips that easily separated. The entire body was plastic.

    I laughed.

    (I’d taken it apart before because mods)

    I picked up the parts, put them together as I walked out and turned it back on.

    Anyway, symbian.

    Oh, the memories.
