Honestly doesn't sound too bad to me, just put in your shopping list and have an employee grab everything for you. This is how the old general stores used to function with everything behind the counter. As long as they don't add any services charges or expect a tip I'd see it as a positive.

System76's Coreboot open firmware now manages to disable Intel ME by PanzerDivision in technology

[–]Drewski 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Top comment on hacker news:

This does not "disable" Intel ME. The ME is instrumental to the boot process and it is impossible to boot a modern Intel x86 system without it. It's quite tiring seeing x86 vendors continuing to misrepresent this.

See comment by bri3d below for details. It appears they're just sending a command to the ME politely asking it to stop doing things, maybe. Of course, this happens long after the ME has already done a great deal of work bringing up the system.

Of the three options for ME scope reduction, none are good and none actually "disable" the ME, but it seems like they've chosen the least effective/audited option of the three. I should add that if you don't trust the ME not to be owned, there's not really any reason to trust that it will honour a polite request to stop doing anything sent to it, and you can't trust it not to have compromised the boot process anyway, making this rather pointless.

Confused, uncool, and nowhere to scroll - the internet has become hostile for millennials by PanzerDivision in Internet

[–]Drewski 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I feel like a boomer typing this, but the golden days of the internet are over. The internet has become hostile to everyone. Gone are the niche usenet groups, IRC channels, BBS's, web forums, personal Geocities sites and Wordpress blogs. (I know I'm being hyperbolic here as this stuff still exists in some form).

Now our discussions are mostly mediated by giant corporate platforms, walled gardens whose algorithms control what we can and cannot see; what is profitable, what is considered subversive "misinformation". I've witnessed the rise and fall of Slashdot, digg, reddit and many others. And don't get me started on how useless search engines have become.

Oh well, you guys are pretty cool at least.

Battery Guru was permanently removed from Play Store by PanzerDivision in Android

[–]Drewski 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Battery Guru has been criticized for its perceived excessive ad display and expensive subscription plans. However, it's important to note that Battery Guru actually shows fewer ads compared to other free apps on the Play Store. Furthermore, the availability of a 24-hour ad-free subscription option demonstrates the developer's commitment to enhancing user experience.

I'm not using any app that isn't open source, let alone one that has ads or a subscription.

Yeah around 2016 was when I ditched reddit. It has completely changed from the free speech platform Aaron Swartz envisioned to what it is today. Unfortunately it seems most social media platforms either die a hero or live long enough to see themselves become the villain. I still lurk on a few subreddits with teddit but if that stops working with these new API changes I'll be fine without it.
