@domi @foone Sadly, #TechLiteracy is in decline and #consoomers get groomed into accepting #bloatware!
Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)One thing that really pisses me off personally is the #regression in terms of #Messenger #Apps.
My personal distaste and dislike for #proprietary, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider #services like #Signal [¹](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114234551915193036) [²](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114935952643402592), #Telegram, #Discord [³](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114865723904157014), #WhatsApp [⁴](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114873895410403238), #Slack, #MicrosoftTeams, etc. aside:
- *WHY* is there no #CrossProvider #Messenger to handle that shite?
- *WHY* does everyone of these shitty providers think people want to download their #bloated #WebApp that takes up triple digit Megabytes if not entire Gigabytes and will gobble up all the #RAM and #CPU each of them can??
This problem ain't new and *already got [solved for corporate social media](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114862619013462466) ages ago!* (Not to mention actually good messengers!)
- And no, [bridges](https://toots.ch/@dalai/114862754556459439) *[don't](https://swecyb.com/@troed/114862774972645542) count*!
- I mean `API 0` - [style](https://digipres.club/@foone/112685423773959519) access because obviously [none of the platforms](https://digipres.club/@foone/112685414638522984) will *allow, endorse or support such an endeavour* and [*actively fight the developers and users*](https://digipres.club/@foone/112685441496803574) !
So yeah, consider this a call for a @gajim@fosstodon.org / #Gajim or @pidgin@fosstodon.org / #Pidgin *for garbage platforms!*
- Cuz back in the day we had *way worse messengers* yet people actually made #AIM, #ICQ, #MSN, #QQ, #IRC & #XMPP work just fine from one single *"phat" client*!
- Can we please get that back?

Seriously, I get that not everyone is able to do #accessible and #performant #forms and #Websites and that #JavaScript is trendy and hip.
- But this seriously isn't funny anymore, but insulting!

@tauon #Microsoft did!
- That's why they pushed for #CensirBoot!
IMHO #USEFI is an irredeemabke #Bloatware and needs to be replaced with #LinuxBoot aka. #NERF!

For any #MTCP, #DOS and #Retrocomputing nerds out there who are also running httpserv and want pretty graphs, poke me for a recipe for a hideosly bloated #logstash configuration to ingest the UDP logs.
I feed it to #Graylog which stores the data in #Opensearch - a pipeline that combined (and this is accurate) needs, conservatively, 4096 times as much RAM as the floppy museum itself (8MB).
And while looking at this when making this screenshot: I wonder why someone would hit http//floppy.museum with a Referer-header indicating they come from a salesforce-dot-com address? http-colon-slashslash-136.146.46.127 (about halfway down the list).

Continued thread
Bruh this isn't a #competition anymore, but a public execution of how #enshittified devices get just with #Windows instead of #Linux on.
- And that's the #OEM #Preinstall of #Windows11 vs. #SteamOS, so not even like some
custom 1337hax0r gentoo configoptimized to maximize battery life!
Using my work thinkpad with windows 11 at full brightness in direct sunlight on a 33 C day and it's getting really hot wow #windows #bloatware #dogshit #proprietary #microsoft

#Rooting a new #Xiaomi device is getting totally ridiculous these days.
I already jumped through the hoop to "request bootloader unlock permission" in one of Xiaomi's #bloatware apps at **EXACTLY** midnight beijing time, at least this worked. Now the second step would be to actually unlock the boot loader. On #FreeBSD, I can't use Xiaomi's unlocker tool (but I guess that's actually a good thing), so I found some python script that also works (after a bit of fiddling with it, patching shebang and removing some nonsense), and see what it tells me now.
Xiaomi, you used to be cool, a long time ago...
