  • As an oppo user I can only say: you’re wrong. You’re very wrong.

    Samsung one UI is a godsend compared with this… This … shit.

    Popups, tracking, insane ui choices. Half of the shit doesn’t work behind a pihole which in itself is damning enough. Everything feels bolted on. Everything feels like its only there to check boxes. Nothing feels natural. Gestures here but not there. Apple style features in Android so half of the time you’re totally lost: does this option still use standard Android logic or is this rewritten as an apple clone?

    I really feel tricked into buying this phone. Excellent reviews but the user experience is very lacking. Maybe all of the reviewers are apple users and are happy to see all this shit in Android but I for one am lost. I use Android because i hate the apple way of doing things. If i wanted an apple device I would’ve bought an apple device.

    I kept it because i thought it would get used to it. I did not.


  • I dunno, I still find m365 family a great deal. 5TB cloud storage for less then 100 euro a year? And get the best most complète Office suite as a bonus?

    If you compare that to the competition it’s a slam dunk. I need cloud storage. I need an office suite.

    Same goes for prime here in NL by the way. Unlimited photo storage, free games monthly, streaming, Luna, free shipping for less then 6 euro.


  • Yep, regular guy in the 80s doing programming.

    Thats even now not so regular, that was very special and very high paying back then.

    So amazingly, you being in your 70s (80s where 40 years ago after all) now and still unable to really fathom, comprehend, how very very good you probably still have it compared to others is telling enough. And that was one of the two binary options i gave for the 80s: too young too comprehend, too rich to care. You clearly fell and probably still fall in the latter category.

    Not a lot 70+ year olds on Lemmy btw.

    That all, combined with the use of the lpt acronym makes me doubt your age. That, or i’m talking to a llm.

    Binary is boring that is true. It also has a 50% chance of being right the first time.


  • Well if you enjoyed the 80s soooo much then a) you where too young to grasp the problems facing your parents or b) you where too well off.

    Just look at the cinema and listen to the music of my fine period.

    Everything, every theme was: please dont kill us and can i have a room to call my own.

    The politics where insane, mortgage rates of 10-15% where the norm, enormous economic shifts.

    The 90s where fun but the eighties where, in my experience, very, very dark.

    Ever listened to, I dunno, two tribes, war, dancing with tears in my eyes, Russians, etc.? Those first albums of u2? Really grasped what Terminator was about? Wall Street? Or the much lighter but still terribly fucked Trading Places?

    It was all really dark stuff, my brother. Fun, but very dark.

    Can we please, stop reposting this same shit pic for the last, I dunno, year?

    This is the gazillionth time. I get it. Is a stupid algea tank. where a simple tree does the same for a fraction of the cost. It’s of no use in the public space except as a tech demo or art object.

    So. Yeah… Next?












  • Best game I own, it always was even with the bugs. The worse thing happening was the T pose/jesus pose when driving back then. It always was playable.

    I’ll up that even: all updates which fixed bugs also added some yankiness on other parts which where perfect in v1. 0.

    The problem these days is you can’t trust reviewers. You also cannot trust forums filled with 10 year olds who debate with bots. You can only make up your own mind.

    Same goes with the latest assassins creed game: lots of bullshit going around now but gaming is not politics. Its a f-ing game. If you liked previous assassins creed stuff you’ll probably like this one too. For the record: I never did like them.

    Starfield really is meeeeeh though.
