Sorry to disappoint ya, still waiting for 4G over here

I work in the telco industry (specifically mobile networks) in Germany, there are heaps of reasons for heaps of issues… cbf to start listing them now but feel free to ask I guess

I’m:

• Not American
• Not far-left (certainly heaps far away from “right” tho)
• Not banned from Reddit

Guess I’m not here, the more ya know

Well yeah and they have one for 140. Seems pretty scummy to me.

Being German doesn’t make it good.

A €140 gold plated USB cable is pure snake oil.

I always think I like the idea but then, once I think about it for like 12 seconds, I realise that it is, in fact, absolutely useless for most people because the internet is quite fucking useful and almost always necessary lol

Very interesting, I’d love to hear your opinion about it after using it for a month or so

Well what is there to choose from? Qualcomm didn’t deliver on their promised Linux support… most other SoCs are either poorly supported or pretty weak

I “used AI to cover up their actual design” as well (based on absolutely fuck all and a few minutes of processing on my 5 year old laptop)

I think it’s open source?

https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE

I don’t like how they’re advertising privacy shit and immediately after that they talk about ChatGPT integration lol

I much prefer open source software with less bullshit added

Can someone explain to me why people here seem to love Vivaldi as a browser? Yeah it’s European but it’s still closed source and based on Chromium…

Pretty funny in the US context tho, I’d imagine it wouldn’t be too hard for them to get google to “help”

A fucking Chromebook lmao

Step 1: don’t

Unlike AWS, Liberapay is not ‘big tech’.

That usually means you can talk to them.

So… what if one doesn’t use social media? Are they gonna believe that?

I used to have LinkedIn and now I only have this Lemmy account which isn’t directly tied to any of my personal details… Good luck linking that?

Might not exactly be a drop-in replacement yet but I reckon RISC-V might be worth keeping an eye on

Yup that’s the current state of it. They say they’re planning to add in-store and online payment options though

Yeah I’ve got a notification about Wero in my Sparkasse App but haven’t bothered checking it out yet lol

I have a couple of friends that seem to like it tho, I just rarely send any money
