What bothers me most about modern tech is how "it does the thing, or fuck you" it is these days. Back in the 90s or 2000s, my computer did most things. Stuff it wasn't up to snuff for, I could do, just slowly. I got to decide if that was slow enough, often enough, to buy more computer power, and errors helped me fix stuff... and now, it's a battle to open a web page on a phone that isn't old, and errors just say "Fuck you, we're not telling you shit". I hate! I hate it so much!

That’s pretty much the analogy the Gemini author used 🙂

(NB: I’m not a Gemini fanatic - I’d call myself ambivalent. Also, I edited the excerpt for easier reading.)

You can cruise around Geminispace freely and fearlessly, reading anything that takes your fancy. This is tremendously psychologically liberating compared to surfing the web in a mainstream browser, and hoping that a huge pile of plugins will protect you like they’re supposed to, and wondering which ones it might be safe to temporarily disable when a page you’d really like to read isn’t rendering properly because of them.

It’s like riding a bike through a park instead of driving a main battle tank through a minefield while trying to stick to a very narrow and poorly marked safe corridor.

@ustralien @kkarhan If it makes you feel better, I've seen that behaviour on #postmarketOS too, but only when the swap was used up - usually opening a browser with many tabs while other apps are running causes this.

I don't have much free disk space, but perhaps you can try increasing your swap? #PureOS on #Librem5 has 6GB swap size iirc and this has never happened while I was on it.

a lot of today's developers are working on super fast machines and testing in ideal conditions. The security aware are under skilled and too afraid of someone compromising their software that they hide all details possible. It's frustrating trying to push for reasonable error messages or instructions for the user.

There are legitimate threats from giving the user some info (such as during login or about their payment info), but often it's just us operating from fear.
