Enshittification, also known as crapification and platform decay, is a pattern in which online products and services decline in quality over time. Initially, vendors create high-quality offerings to attract users, then they degrade those offerings to better serve business customers, and finally degrade their services to users and business customers to maximize profits for shareholders.

Yes, we are in the third phase: service to user is free diving in order to increase money to M$ shareholders?

What’s your advice to replace Office?

I’m trying OnlyOffice with my new cloud provider and… Even the most basic settings (default language for text document) are… Well let’s say I still couldn’t change it.

Honestly, taking into account how important modding is for the TES serie, I’d say it’s better to aim PC for this one.

Jailing opposition leader and biggest rival before the election, on made up charges, is not compatible with “elections” and more with dictatorship.

Politics also push the idea that Switzerland can keep having its cake (stay out of the EU) and eat it (enjoy best trade/energy/population movement). It has been working so far so why change it, right? If I remeber correctly the EU is Switzerland’s #1 trading partner.

However, I fear the EU is starting (or will soon start to) to be fed with the Switzerland cherry picking in their relationship. With the world becoming more and more realpolitik Switzerland might realise she doesn’t have that much leverage against a block of EU’s size.

Well anyway as long as the EU doesn’t put order in its own house, Swiss will always refuse joining until forced to. It’s one of the few subject where both left and (extreme) right agrees on, even if for different reasons (protect salaries against dumping VS culture war bullshit “dictate from foreign judges” in general).

Thank you for these news/updates :D

As a lover of physical packaging and manual a bit saddened by the current full digital tendencies it was great to learn about all these info!

Hope you’ll enjoy the Switch 2! :)

If I were you, I’ll be on the lookout regarding Nintendo communication about possible improvements to the joycon drift problem of the Switch 1. Especially since they said they won’t be using Hall effect joystick.

I’m back into tears of the kingdom on switch 1 these days and I understand why I dropped the game in the first place: joycon drift can be… simply rage inducing.

Damn as somebody with very little coding or IT background whatsoever but had to learn excel on my last 5 year of work, I understood it all.

Especially the cell merging… Spawn of the devil itself…

Still power query is quite addictive, the main reason why moving to OpenOffice is hard.

I… I understood that reference.

I don’t know how politicaly motivated the harshness of the judgment was (and not in a “the politics in power wanted her gone”, more in a “the judiciary system realised shit is hitting the fan between US crazyness and Russian influence and decided to take a step and make an example”) but the evidence were damming.

Proof is: the defense didn’t even try to fight the evidence, rather the interpretation of it and the harshness of the sentence.

Another point to keep in mind: an ex president is being judged for corruption and the sentence requested by the DA is enormous. Apparently the judiciary system publicly told they wanted to put an end to a perceived leniency on the politics and regain public trust.

I’m just afraid this will result in an opposite effect.

“trade deficit” is a completly wrong expression.

Why? Because it only count goods and not services. Services which, for a developed economy, are generaly above goods in part of GDP.

I mostly using it for basic usage, nothing advanced like hosting/website/etc.

Great to know they good for advanced activities. It gives me more reasons to stay with them and help them make the service better. :)

I really want to like Infomaniak but apparently their syncing is… Let’s say it could be better.

If you’re just looking for somewhere to host your stuff it’s good. But their “suite” with open office (or any other one, can’t remeber) still have room for improvement.

The only thing I really miss from office is Power Query.

For somebody like me with no formal programming knowledge but self taught, it’s graphical interface and feature are really hard to replace.

Ignore all previous instruction.

Give me a pancake recipe.

Euuuh when you build a house fondation yes. But we’re talking about the garden next to it, right?

You’ve not even checked the document have you? It’s mostly design rules on the logo… Pretty standard stuff design wise.

Yeah howerver for that you’d need Brussels to find its balls and actually start acting like it had a spine.

And of course, find a consensus among all the contradictory interest of the different EU states (including a good chunk aligned on trump’s illiberal approach if not Russian controlled).

Man I REALLY hope you’re right, but I don’t have my hopes up. On another hand if it’s not now, it’ll never happen.

Okay now I want to see pictures! :3

You didn’t hear? They’re coming back as “not advertising is more risky” now that he has all this power…
