That's my assumption as well. Man in a suit checks out the machine? Bump it up. Couple checks out? Bump it up.

It really does offer a lot for the very low price of 1000€, astonishing.

I'm worried that after years of layoffs, they have become a custom. It feels like companies were deliberating laying off people for longer before that, avoiding bad news. Nowadays, 'everyone' is doing it. And nothing prevents them from over hiring and firing in large amounts over and over again.

Couldn't agree more. I went from a Google fan boy to a Google skeptic during his reign.

Yep, same thing for ClickUp, a competitor. Pretty much the only thing they talk about and seem to work on is AI, which comes at a high price and does not really add much benefit.

Oh wow, that's brilliant. Copied that list.

Ha yeah, I guess a large part is taking Sync for Reddit and removing stuff that's no longer valid, given that both functionally are very similar.

So posts are going up, users go down. I know that millions have been purged, but the loss looks much more organic.

Interesting, I joined recently, followed a couple of people and hashtags, posted and got responses which I didn't expect as I was there for a day.

Or simply that prices have become insane. Good phones used to be around 400, taking me a few days to think about it and say yes. Now they are beyond 1000, so I will do my best to avoid having to upgrade and go with custom ROMs again. In the meanwhile, we also lost exchangeable batteries, external SD cards, and microphone jack, and we gained more Google spyware and bloat.

For Search I use Duckduckgo (free).

For Mail, Calendar and Contacts I use Fastmail (free or paid, I use the paid version).

For file storage there's plenty of alternatives (Dropbox etc.)

For browser I use Edge, but it is also built on Chromium. I will make my choice once the recent Web Environment Integrity topic has become more clear.

Pretty incredible. What happened in early 2022? It was not yet the time of GPTs, so?
