I love how he literally packages for any system EXCEPT snap

The P now is for Pollution

Unless there is an easy way to convert a DrivePool to mergerfs etc.

If I understood right, it’s just software joining together multiple NTFS drives. When you open in another os it’s just a normal NTFS drive

You could take two drives and create a raid1 (right? Or yolo without redundancy?) btrfs array. Move stuff from one drive, when it’s empty, format it as btrfs and add it to the array. Repeat for every drive.

But…

With this much data I wouldn’t risk if you don’t have experience with btrfs via cli

13 billions for something that if disappeared overnight, it would be just a mildly inconvenience and replaced by a 1:1 competitor in less than a day?

Your link without the unique advertising id that tracks directly to your account:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GKYTMGB8

They had to hide the unique tracking info because otherwise the link becomes 8x longer

Running routine disk cleaning commands like sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root is much faster on Linux, while MacOS has that pesky containerization that slows things down

Projects won’t get signed unless they project a 10000% ROI

Remember that they paid 53 bil plus a huge loan that ea itself will have to pay, for something that has a 300 mil yearly profit

Basically ea FC (or what’s the name now?) will become a gambling machine to hook some whales

They don’t care about email scraping (which would be illegal)

They simply want people to install the app because it exfiltrates a lot of tasty data to them.

An email might “only” contain ab invisible image to track views and unique links for tracking clicks, while if the user opens the app they way more data.

From the APK I see they can get stuff like

• All the contacts of the user, all email addresses and phone numbers
• GPS location
• Camera and photos
• Microphone
• Your phone number, your device IMEI and your unique advertising id, for cross tracking you better around other sites
• Send push notifications for FOMO promotions like “OMG it’s the last one buy now before it gets sold out!!!”

They’re pretending that they’re still in 2008 where a basic word or letter swap in the copy wouldn’t trigger the blocklist.

Facebook 100% knows about those ads and is willing to be complicit in the scams for pure profit.

With the massive datacenters running their useless LLMs there’s no way that they couldn’t detect those ads.

150k is for a single district, statewide they plan to waste millions on this

But can you imagine if the datacenters also hoarded all the solar panel production capacity through 2028?

Although we would benefit from the dirt cheap panels from the bankruptcy auctions, while almost nobody has use for hbm memory chips

Did they think what would happen if the gas price goes up and their profitability is completely dependent on that?

I wonder if they did this to appease the EU or just to have a way to prove in court that a specific competitor distilled their model using claude

But if you block ads on Facebook, then what will you read? When I accidentally go to my profile, it’s a post from someone I actually follow for every 20 sponsored posts. It’s a website to watch ads, then every once of a while your ad viewing session is interrupted by some real content

AND storage…

1. If you do a native photo gallery and it uses 1000 mb of RAM just to showing 5 screenshots, that means you’re a grossly incompetent coder and that’s even worse
2. I can’t believe you don’t know this, but Edge is a web browser, used to show web pages.
3. The start menu is a web app and Microsoft itself even admitted it’s the reason it totally sucks and it will be rewritten native https://www.windowslatest.com/2026/03/21/microsoft-confirms-windows-11-start-menu-performance-boost-shift-to-winui-from-web-based-components/
4. It’s a UI library for… Drumroll… WebApps!

some of the reasons why it’s not a native app:

1. it uses 1000 mb of ram instead of 50 mb
2. if you install binisoft windows firewall control, it wants to get permission to “Microsoft Edge WebView2” when you open it
3. all the other microshit apps like clipchamp, new outlook, teams, the start menu, the widgets, are all webapps. It’s like they fired anyone that knew how to write code and replaced them with copilot
4. the library, https://github.com/microsoft/fluentui , is react = web

If the “native” Windows app it’s running on a dedicated browser and coded with web tech, it’s still a web app even if it’s an .exe

Did you know that Picasa could still group people by facial recognition in windows XP with 1 gb of ram in TOTAL? (Clarifying: 1gb to the whole system, not only a single app)

And are you sure that the indexing is running locally? Because it’s called “onedrive photos”, not “windows photos”, so they can totally do the indexing on the cloud.

Unlike traditional web apps, OneDrive Photos is actually quite well built. It has a Windows 11-like Acrylic design for the context menu and does not take up a huge amount of resources, as RAM usage stays under 1GB

Excuse me, a photo gallery that takes 1gb of RAM, especially in this economy, doesn’t seem “quite well built”.

This fucking web app wrappers, Picasa had 100x more features while using 50x less resources
