Chrome is one of the first things I disable on my Android devices, and I hate the idea of signing up for any accounts just to access local files.

But Canon welcomed me with a big surprise, and a fuck you, too!

magiclantern.

Jailbreak your shit. You own it don't you?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago (6 children)

Magic Lantern is awesome!

Unfortunately, it's for higher-end cameras, not my old point-and-shoot cameras. And it doesn't magically give your device GPS for geotagging images :(

The app was fine. The enshittification of the app is not.

Oh that’s too bad. Guess I’m not buying that shit.

In order to access my tax and benefit accounts on the Government of Canada website I can only use Chrome ... making sure to wipe all cookies, etc afterwards.

I freaking hate shite like this.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Is that through the CRA website? I've been able to access it on Firefox (through Linux) without being hassled.

But yeah, websites that force you to use Chrome would get on my nerves. I'd be sandboxing that entire browsing session, too. LOL

I rolled back the app to an older version before this was required and blocked it from network or updating. The only feature I use is the gps data over bluetooth and remote shutter. Canon can go F*** themselves with this nonsense

Canon is on my personal blacklist for decades. I bought a printer from them, not just a normal A4/legal, but a professional, wide one that uses rolls of paper, etc. I was unhappy with the state of the driver under Linux, so I called and asked for a programming documentation to write my own printer driver. Their opinion on Linux/open source was that "open source is theft of intellectual property".

[–] [email protected] 33 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I wonder how many open source libraries their driver codebase relies on, it had best be zero with that attitude.

Their opinion is stupid, but I’m also not sure what you expected when you asked some random sales rep for deep technical info.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Well, in a commercial space, at least if you're big enough, asking sales reps for deep tech info is the norm. They are supposed to find an engineer and get them to answer.

If you're a big enough customer, you set the norms.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 4 days ago

I contacted both technical support for commercial systems and later their booth on a big technical trade fair (CeBit Hannover), and got basically the same opinion both times. The first was definitely no "Sales Rep", and the people at the booth were a manager and an engineer.

But I agree, their opinion is stupid.

Vendor software is always a pile of shame. Can't you just copypaste images?

Edit: oh, mobile.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Had the powder and fuse primed for an Oh Brother Where Art Thou joke. Picture my mild fury when I noticed this is about cameras, not printers.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

FYI if you're shooting tethered the live view functionality and performance of Capture One is infinitely better.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago

Shit, no more Canon then.
