Made a complaint to the California Dept of Consumer Affairs. I used the way back machine to show at the I purchased the phone, their policy was “full refund, no questions asked” which they silently changed a few years later and then hide behind as an excuse to deny refunds. Turns out that’s illegal.
A shady company that I had to fight tooth and nail to get my money back after literal years of false promises and moving goal posts. They’ve burned any respected reputation they had.
A lawsuit waiting to happen… someone needs to class action MS for systemic breaches of privacy. Think of all the critical infrastructure, government, medical, policing, etc. systems processing sensitive, private, and in some cases classified, information.
Yeh, I’ll wait until the bugs are ironed out and my distro (mint) determines it’s stable. No need to start asking for troubles when everything is working smoothly.
An incredible game. If you are keen on trying a modern take on it, Songs of Conquest is an about to be released spiritual successor which is very enjoyable.
Walled garden platforms doing what walled garden platforms do I suppose…
Better late than never I guess?
Yeh. The Librem was a classic example of overpromise and underdeliver. Borderline scamware by Purism. Will never go near them again.

This exactly. This is the audience for proton mail, and their success while sticking to this model is hope for us all
It’s a real shame. Monopolies in any industry/product inevitably lead to fucking over consumers… time we broke em up I think
People keep buying big tech products and subscriptions then are shocked when they fuck you over? shocked picachu
Is there a place to browse options? A lemmy community you recommend perhaps?
Would love to just pay someone to access their jellyfin server. Does something like this exist?
Yeh, exactly, both famously disappointing games
It’s just so bland and formulaic. Against deep RPGs like BG3, it just pales in comparison.
Google Linux Mint. Install. Enjoy having your computer back again.
I think something like simplelogin is too complicated for a basic user.
I suggest setting her up with two or three different new email addresses. One for important things like gov accounts, utilities accounts, and personal emails to friends, and the other for her to use to sign up to stupid data-harvesting crap like newsletters, stores, etc.
It would probably be helpful to do a little behavioural training too around not signing up for things that require your contact details like email or phone.
Unfortunately, his right foot might need a star
