Framework’s first desktop is a strange—but unique—mini ITX gaming PC

  • Just buy a ThinkPad, if you’re thinking about buying a Framework…

  • That makes no sense - that’s more like Apple then…

    I don’t know if it’s the case, but modular IO on PC maybe nice.

  • At least VW is kinda open about it, and as far as I know, they even built a memorial…

    I mean, the least thing as a company you can do now, is to be open about everything and make an effort that this shit never happens again!

  • On Reddit I looked at so many posts on one day, on Lemmy I read like 2 posts but go in the comments much more often. Actually I look at more comments than posts, which I find better!

  • Yeah. Like, I get AI can be useful, but it’s fucking everywhere! Even a god damn fridge got AI! And I hate it to be so forced on me, like, I just wanna write text or code without Copilot annoying me all of the time.

  • After taking a look at the pictures of the article, I noticed “requires AI credits”. Credits?! What is this now? Some shitty mobile game? Really, Microsoft isn’t ashamed of anything anymore…

    I mean, I don’t know about Microsoft and windows, so maybe this is different, but the name sounds crazy!

    • Scientists move to Bluesky, transitioning away from X and Meta platforms

  • I tried masterdon, mostertant (I don’t know what that one is) and eventually needed to look up the name from an E-Mail…

  • The browser that manages to somehow get even more spyware than chrome?

  • I actually use chromium to do watch party’s. As you can disable hardware acceleration and for some reason the Netflix DRM doesn’t work anymore. (So I can stream the video to friends on dc)

    But otherwise I never had problems with Firefox.

  • When I use a computer for a few months my ~/ always gets so “messy”, I hate it!

  • Understandable. In Germany it isn’t customary to have an AC, but I got one. It’s from Mitsubishi and has some cloud remote control app thing. I mean, ok, controlling the temperature from not home is maybe useful, but I haven’t and will never use it. I just set the Temperature and go on Auto mode…

  • Thats actually pretty nice. And on the subject of cars: I don't get why (some) people with E-Cars say they are so much "greener" and then use like 10 different apps for the car, recharging, etc. Those servers produce so much, really, so god damn much CO2... (Not saying combustion engines are better, but...)

  • Ok, that is crazy.

  • Also mich More valuable to Google, as they are the biggest Advertising company. I looked it up and according to this source they have ~70% of the pay-per-click market.

  • McDonald’s (in Germany at least) needs your location to “see when you arrive at the restaurant”. What the hell?! That doesn’t even work properly and they force it on me! I uninstalled the app and now I am actually happy, because without the promotion and discount stuff, I don’t eat McDanks that often anymore.

    • No means no

  • That actually brings me to my next point: Why does Windows allow Kernel-Level Programs?! Like, I do not trust Vanguard! (And I don’t understand why people do…)

    • No means no

    Jump

  • Ok yeah, good point. Firefox has never done that to me, but maybe it’s different on Linux, I don’t know. But thanks!

    • No means no

  • In Linux you can actually (un)install features you want (or don’t want) without the whole system breaking.

    Also: Why the hell does Microsoft Edge run in the background all of the time?!
