And here we have a clear example of how Chrome's almost monopoly is a bad thing for us.
That's what you get when you require users to get a new device in order to run newer software. I would gladly run the newest version, if I could just update my os, but since I can't, I will be running this old version for as long as I have to...
In this world of enshittification and organizations becoming more and more aggressive, it's so nice and refreshing to see proton doing the opposite and moving to a better model :)
People tend to have a really hard time understanding evolution, and attribute human characteristics to it.
At first, I thought it was some sort of iot washing machine that stopped working due to software error lol.
Wait, other people don't do that? Well, that explains a lot... Since I was a kid, I never understood how people treated their stuff so badly and throw stuff away without a second thought. I take care of my stuff for as long as I can, and almost never throw anything away. They're like companions who walk with me in my life, and I'm never giving up on an old friend.
As someone who worked (trying to) teaching people how to use computers, I can tell you that windows isn't user friendly. People just got used to it. I had a far easier job when teaching how to use android and a gnome gui.
This is very interesting, but makes me wonder if nonprofit initiatives will be able to host video sharing platforms in the fediverse, because of the server damends of it.
Sad to see such article written as if it was all firefox's fault, instead of google and apple's anticompetitive (and probably illegal) strategies playing a great role.
I have a theory about small phones:
I see so many people asking for smaller phones, and, at the same time, the sales aren't very good when companies give it a try. How can both be true?
I believe (from my anedoctal observations) that small phone users tend to be people who don't want to replace their phones just for the sake of getting a newer one, and use their devices for several years, resulting in fewer sales than expected.
For the people commenting about prices and comparing it to kindle:
Unfortunately, open source hardware is in its infancy, and faces severe barriers of entry, but projects like this one are really nice in order to further develop the concept and make working prototypes, proving its viability.
Felt sad for that last crab who ended with a shell worse than the original :(
