Laptops have soul (infosec.pub)

transcripttlirsgender:

Laptops are always so much more Fucked than phones in my experience. A laptop is like a beautiful horse that wants nothing more than to break all of its legs. A decently solid android phone will act normal.
A laptop is a living creature. It has weight to it. A laptop breathes and produces body heat. And it wants to die badly. Mobile phones are not sentient like that & that's why they don't experience mental illness. A phone problem is like "out of storage :(" or "charging port broke". Laptops will cough weakly as they fade in and out of consciousness.
You will hold a laptop in your arms and it's like "I can't feel my legs". And you tell it girl you never had any.

~~never forget, oh poweruser, what blind enshittification has robbed from you.~~

e: whoopswhoopswhoops!

i remembered the phrasing from somewhere, and after a couple searches i realized it must’ve been here.

that specific wording is literally straight off a monument, erected by germany in 1933, at the polish border, which was a popular pilgrimage site for german nationalists.

big whoops.

Perhaps we can substitute "Abandon all optimizations, ye who enter here"?

reverse it, “abandon all bloat, ye who downgrade”
