@MsMerope @ai6yr Personally, I think #Microaoft should be sued for the #EnvoirmentalDamages due to them pushing #ReducedLifecycle with #CensorBoot & #Windows11!

@MattHatton nodds in agreement

The #Enfattening and #Enshittification of #tech is neither #sustainable nor should it be accepted, respected, gone along with or allowed to begin with.

@Crell @alina It's not an ignorant rant.

  • I've made peace with it, just as I've made peace never touching #Windows ever again.

You may call me an "opinionated asshole" from your point of view, but I sincerely wish I was wrong.

The real cost doesn't come through to #consoomers except as #ReducedLifecycle due to #bloat.

But then again what do I expect from a coward doing the reply & block - combo, because confronting the fact that people got burned out by shit like PHP would mean admitting mistakes, and we can't have that as a fanboy.

#EOD #thxbye #next

@kkarhan @alina There's a lot more to PHP than Wordpress.  Even most PHP devs hate Wordpress.

But OK, you just want to rant ignorantly, so I'm not going to bother listening.  Good day, and have fun being blocked.

#PlannedObsolescence in terms of #Software and #Hardware is bad.

  • Cuz if people can play the original #Game they bought x years back and continue playing it then they won't buy the full-priced #remaster!

Basically instead of "#LiveService" we also have "#DeadService" to kill good games!

@alsutton @aurynn @LineageOS @GrapheneOS @EUCommission @bsi precisely that is the point: Manufacturers should be obligated ny law to provide free, unrestricted access to documentation, drivers and a reproduceable toolchain to build #ROMs for their devices.

@ai6yr Personally if I had the €€.€€€ needed I'd start a business and employ people collecting said "#ReducedLifecycle'd" machines, slap a good #Linux distro on top and sell them at reasonable prices.

I can get like a dozen machines for less then €200 with a few upgrades and a Distro that makes them useful for a lot of folks.

@scriptkiddie the fact that @EUCommission and @Umweltbundesamt didn't fine #Microsoft #billions if not more for creating 100% avoidable #eWaste through #ReducedLifecycle is beyond me.

  • Seriously, the reason why the #EU did not mandate #IEC60906-1 for #PowerSockets was the fact that they expected this to cause 700.000t of avoidable eWaste and cost €100B whilst taking 75+ years...

@fuchsiii the nice part is that this allows #LyingWithNumbers.

Nevermind the #ReducedLifecycle and the entire production chain can never offset such a high failure rate, but those don't show up on #EnergyBills, #PowerMeters and the like...

@andreas_heitmann @arstechnica It's just that they constantly #engineer shit to have a #ReducedLifecycle and be purposefully #unrepairable!

@PC_Fluesterer @mardor trotzdem sollte solch #ReducedLifecycle per Desgn verboten werden - genauso wie #AntiRepairDesign!

@lamp yes and no.

Yes, #Apple will #EoL the #Intel-based "Cheesegrater" #MacPro by 2029-2030 as per their preannounced platform lifecycle of 10 years.

No, because #Apple's #ARMv8.1-A - based #SoC's are heavily modified in that they require a feckton of custom chips solely for the purpose of #ReducedLifecycle and making repairs harder if not impossible to facilitate...

Unlike their #amd64 / #EM64T - predecessors they don't have a dedicaded #EFI chip with "#BridgeOS" aka. #AEFI aka. #macOS - #Recovery on but use the exact same #Flash chips that are #RAID0 as #SSD, and since those are custom with their own controllers ( based off info from @marcan ) - basically every chip is it's own NVMe but proprietary...
And when (not if) they (inevitably) die (due to exceeding TBW lifecycle or terrible engineering frying them with 12V on a 2,7V rail ), the entire system is braindead.

And that is not by accident but rather intentional...

@simontsui They’ve lost the source code, haven’t they? 🫤 This is why we need a law to force source code into the public domain when companies cease to maintain products.

@nicolas17 @simontsui @moses well, you could then sue #Dlink and the users for criminal neglect...

#NotLegalAdvice but any decent #ISP and #Hoster will not only offer free #DDoS protection but if necessary just #blackhole traffic from attackers at the IX like #DECIX.

That being said the #ReducedLifecycle is the problem!
