For me it was annoying enough to switch to android. I really felt like I had to use iCloud, forced through my throat. I have ocd and a red dot means “I need to open this app immediately RIGHT NOW to clear it” - and then your can’t clear it until you subscribe

it’s a dark pattern deliberately chosen to let people get annoyed and pay for icloud. On windows people instead will accidentally fill their onedrive account and that’s it. They won’t even know that they’re using it. It might send some scary emails like “your cloud backup is full!!!11 you gonna lose everything!!111” but those go directly in spam. Error messages in windows for regular users appear like “����� �������� �����������” - their eyes don’t have the right encoding to understand the message, so they just click OK and dismiss it. Instead, the red dot is prominent in the home screen of every iphone and bother also those that don’t read the error messages…

They never reinstalled OneDrive after an update… yet

(I hate how I have to uninstall useless shit after updates)

Yes, it doesn’t get re enabled but I totally hate that annoying red dot on settings if you don’t set iCloud

Isn’t apple doing the same?

Designed to fill the 5gb immediately so you’re going to buy more cloud space immediately

When I had an iPhone, there was an annoying red dot on the settings icon “warning, you didn’t enable cloud backups for photos”, and if you enabled it become an annoying red dot “warning you ran out of iCloud space”

Well, first there are a million active forks.

Second, it’s literally useless. It just shows your PC specs so when you screenshot and share it online people can know that you could afford that specific hardware. E-penis 2.0

Maybe they don’t want to sell too many copies

AI taking more jobs.

Now you just need a execute single PowerShell line to upload the whole history to the attacker, no need to hire skilled hackers to code custom malware or infostealers.

What those malware devs are going to do now that ai replaced them?

presumably the reason that people paid $230 for a $30 toothbrush was the $200 smart speaker that doubled as charging base. Once that feature is remotely disabled, we can say that the device as a whole (smart speaker that can charge a generic toothbrush, bundled with a generic toothbrush) is essentially bricked

Disclaimer: it’s not that I’m denigrating the devs, making a program like gimp is super fucking hard and as a lousy programmer I could never be able to make it better. Ideally, it would need some talented designers to develop a more usable UI.

I see comparisons to photopea, but that’s a UI clone of Photoshop and that is not really wanted. It also didn’t come with technical debt from the 90s

Agree with this

I am not a native speaker and I never associated gimp with a sex meaning, even if my vocabulary is pretty expanded.

It could be called “DesirePix 2.0” or “SeductionStudio 4.0” but the main problem is that it gives a worse user experience than using Adobe Photoshop 5.0 on windows 95, on every single aspect. Features, speed, UI, ease of use, and so on

That’s insane on multiple levels

So maybe it could be that they set cloudflare so aggressive that’s blocking all the bots including the googlebot

I played it on my phone and I really like it. Nice music nice physics, fun details like you can crash to the trash can and have the lid close over your body lol

I like the pixel art

Probably because there aren’t any, they can’t specifically say “iOS”.

I’m not aware of any other operating system (except the ones in game consoles or dedicated hw) that doesn’t allow the user to install other software not approved by the manufacturer

As usual doing malicious compliance, like when they pretended that iOS and iPadOS were two completely separate operating systems and so iPadOS shouldn’t need to support third party app stores as EU said “iOS”

Only if you live in a country like russia, china, iran, north korea or south arabia

They also monitor new website registrations and immediately spam info@newdomain

0.69? Here they take 0.89 which is a nice 1000% markup over the electricity price. And the shame is that everyone copied the insane pricing, still blaming “sorry the war in Ukraine forces us to double the prices” even if they now came back to what they were in the beginning of 2021
