“Antitrust is woke!”

— Donny the Destroyer

Antitrust? That’s woke! Let Enshittification commence.

Thankfully the streaming wars gave us a nice back catalog of material, and of course everything from before that and everything from elsewhere on the globe. Don’t hit & run, remember to seed.

And if all that isn’t enough, there’s still books.

Comedy Of Errors

A beautiful euphemism. We could apply it to all of the USA’s current admin and its activities.

This makes me feel bad.

Exactly. It all just creates more “feeling bad”.

“Not that pesky compassion again! Need to get this done by tomorrow.”

Well, that sort of podcast won’t survive for long in my podcatcher app.

But the “2 guys” format is very common, and to stay with the theme of the cartoon:

Often one of the duo is clearly the main guy while the other interjects something that tries to be humorous but falls flat, or contributes so little that they’re just a sounding board for #1.

In some podcasts this is so bad that I constantly carry a little vicarious embarassment for #2 while listening.

A little scripting helps, or an agreement that e.g. #1 talks (freely) and #2 reads (articles or quotes etc.).

AMD marches “against Intel”? Is there some sort of confrontation going on between the 2? Or does this just mean AMD makes good processors and sells better?

They got what they paid for I guess.

Wait, did reddit make a deal with Google for data mining?

I guess this is commendable, but it still feels like putting lipstick on a pig.

Or maybe that’s just me seeing reddit getting smaller and smaller in my rearview mirror.

Again?

I used my N900 as a daily driver for a few months in 2020, but it was a constant pain and the www is right out anyhow. Never tried the Droid 4 (though I did order one, but then gave it away) and Maemo leste was not ready for prime in 2020 on any device, but I believe they’re much better now. I believe the Droid 4 was top tier back in 2012.

Having that keyboard is not that big of a priority for me; I’m not likely to spontaneously start hacking while out and about; I can tweak my phone from the comfort of a real keyboard and an ssh connection.

Maemo Leste is available for a similar keyboard phone, the Motorola droid 4, which is much more powerful than the N900 and has 4G iirc.

I’d like to disagree.

May I recommend a Nokia N900 - it’s already much more powerful, has a usable keyboard, and already runs Linux. But alternative OSs exist, if that’s your fancy.

But Delicate Arch is the point here.

I heard WW3 will be a major plot element in the next season.
