Just like all subscriptions this kills my interest in it. Tech is only interesting if it isn’t locked in a corporate data center.

  you must be really bored with pretty much all the popular tech today then

    ... and? Nothing wrong with not buying into what's popular.

      and nothing. it's a comment on how everything is closed tech by the platforms, not a knock on being bored with that fact. i fully agree and do not participate on those platforms.

    Not the person you’re responding to but yes, pretty much all of modern tech is awful. The specs are pretty good but then you don’t really own it, you get limitations on what you can use it for, you get rent seeking and walled gardens everywhere. Even if you’re paying you get ads and get tracked. Updates make products worse more often than not. What are you excited about? AI slop?

      > What are you excited about? AI slop? A little credit please?! I don't use AI anything. I code my stuff the old fashioned way with nested if/else statements that make you cry trying to follow along. And damn the coworker that interrupts your debugging asking if you got their email or not. https://img.devrant.com/devrant/rant/r_55338_NBSDq.jpg https://img.devrant.com/devrant/rant/r_55338_NBSDq.jpg

    I'm bored with most of the new flashy products, but that just leads to me tinkering more with things I already have or fun new open source projects. It's somewhat a hobby of mine to maximize the potential of old hardware with better software.
