The only good thing to come out of RIOT are the animations. Those don’t require exposing myself to the CCP.

PC part prices are already extremely high, how in the hell can anyone build or buy anything with prices so high?

Amazon has turned to utter shit these days. They’ve been requiring you to show your ID to get a refund. Getting asked by some Indian dude who I can barely understand a picture of my government issued ID sure doesn’t feel comforting.

Invest in actual public transportation: I sleep

Invest in an overly expensive alternative to trains: REAL SHIT

Fuck both of those companies, but overall a good ruling.

The Microsoft Blogpost keeps mentioning customers and I’ve seen it mentioned a few times in this thread, but it almost seems like they’re gearing this towards businesses and not 100% average consumers. Then again, they do mention 365 subscribers so maybe they are. Either way it’s such a waste that an OS would shutter anti-virus support for anyone who doesn’t pay a subscription.

Also, a ton of people here keep saying how this will drive users to Linux. No, no it wont. It isn’t the first shitty thing that Microsoft has done to their OS, and it won’t be the last. Older and average people won’t take time out of their day to swap OS’s and learn terminals.

Wonder how much money they’ve wasted trying to block the blockers

The entire point of an app like TikTok is to stir stories and headlines so they get more clicks. Everything is for the algorithm.

Now there will be two versions of Windows. One that adheres to EU regulation, and another that’s filled with ads for everyone else.

A few months ago I was thinking about getting YouTube premium. It’s a platform I’m on everyday and have been using it for years. But they decided to block adblockers and increase prices, so they can go fuck themselves.

They should also warn that they’ll spit in your food too.

I can’t wait for Facebook to take the time and energy to make two different versions of their platform. One to adhere to the EU regulations, and the other for everyone else that harvests every last bit of data.

If this is trying to convince skeptics, it’ll do nothing. They’ll go back to Nancy on Facebook and exclaim how they’re putting 5G crystal-infused microchips into your body to turn you into a sky person. Literally nothing will convince the antivax.

• Need a subscription to +5 services to see all the content & shows.
• Ads being forced into paid services.
• Unfinished AAA games now cost +$70 USD.
• All games now have battlepasses and FOMO.

All I need is one VPN subscription.

Because petitioning a company works, yeah

Lying about your shit product will do that, yeah

I actually thought this was an elaborate joke. The “Cybertruck” looks like a piece of shit, and apparently is a piece of shit.

I always hear bad things from Tesla owners after the honeymoon phase is over.

I LOVE SUBSCRIPTION BASED SERVICES

Not sure if I wanna live next to a wind farm, but solar is 100% okay

AI is a tool to assist creators, not a full on replacement. Won’t be long until they start shoving ads into Bard and ChatGPT.

Could = Wont

I’d be down to pay YouTube to watch 2k - 4k videos, I’m shocked they allow people to upload videos on that resolution to begin with.

Now, if they start intentionally blocking adblockers, or have a way to force around them (like Twitch) I’d immediately stop using it (like Twitch)

I don’t think they actively try to release a bad product, but anything good is an anomaly of using minimal effort

The rise of Linux is upon us

I’d go insane if I got 5k notifications in a day

Literally can’t live without the internet these days. It needs to be a protected utility like any other.

You can taste the silicon!

Saw a bunch of idiots calling the smaller devs “not serious about making games” for switching engines.

Someone must’ve found an easy way to jailbreak their cars

The only password manager I trust to connect to the internet is the Firefox manager, Keypass for the important stuff.

If a law says it’s “for the kids” It 100% contains some of the most intrusive, dictatorial legislation known to man

They must not be able to spy on people thru it

If they forced livestreams in your face like they do shorts maybe people would actually watch their content

That’s an odd way of saying “I don’t like Arch users”

I’m all for smaller more efficient cars, easier to drive too

In other news, does anyone recommend any other music streaming platform? Spotify just doesn’t recommend me anything good anymore

They always knew

I’m almost certain this article is written by an AI

Jesus France is really fucking over their people aren’t they?
