It's just trends/fashion, I don't get why algorithms are to blame? I read the whole long ass article but I don't really find a compelling argument. It's just how trends work. The algorithms of now speed it up, but it's no different from anything in this connected day and age; I used to only hear of new PC announcements in a month (when the next issue of PC Magazine hit my mail box), now I can get it within the minute of announcement.

This is why I don't like the Fediverse as much. Can you believe that loon got so many upvotes? Describes the average mentality around these parts, what a turn off.
I'm sure there'll only be people who read the headlines, so here's what's going on:
Overall shipments decreased by 40 million, but there were two companies who made gains within the top 5: Apple, who shipped 8 million units more, and Transsion, who shipped 22 million units more. Samsung dropped 40 million units, similar to the overall shipments. Looks like Transsion made the most of it during this dip, taking away marketshare from other Android phone makers.
Really love this community, so one-dimensional and not willing to accept alternate views, and can't wait to twist words in people's mouth to make themselves feel better intellectually superior.
Good luck in growing this community.
Fairphone also deliberately chose an industrial variant of the Snapdragon 778G just so they could get by the issue mentioned by nyan.
One man's bloatware is another man's feature.
Meanwhile all the scammers and spammrs still get to post their ads.
So so so many. Right off the top of my head:
- Guild Wars Season 2, one of the later missions. It was stealth gameplay. I hate stealth. Paid someone 100g to run it for me.
- FTL's boss.
- Warframe's Glassmaker season fight with Nihil.
- Currently, Ace Combat 7's Pipeline Destruction.
I didn't realise it, I just pasted the link and let Kbin figure out the data. I guess it read from an internal working title instead of the actual title (which isn't much better, it's "The Perfect Webpage")
I do feel like this is why I don't really hang around the fediverse that much; it's like the opposite end of the spectrum of right-wingers who go nuts when "communism" or "socialism" is mentioned, just that it's any mention of "capitalism". Kneejerk reactions either way.
Sounds great; yea, I'm getting sick of the shitty SEOed the hella out results I'm getting from Google search nowadays. If I'm searching for anything that's not pure facts (which likely leads me to a wiki page anyway), it's just going to be a shitshow of bland pages as described in the linked article.
Yes, I really do love the animations, really shows the transformation so well.
Great, so it'll take AI to set 16GB as minimum.
I still shudder that there are machines still being sold with 8GB RAM, that's just barely enough.
