The transition to Discord for communities really sucks. It’s impossible to find information now that everything is gated to unsearchable servers.

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

I never, ever see any actual ads anymore. It’s either some dude with an Indian dude smiling saying “Hello!” or the same exact ass picture from “Hailey201238712985723” or “Jonah9018328412873” advertising the same porn site. No advertiser worth their salt would ever advertise on Elon’s Twitter.

I actually didn’t expect Disney to respect public domain. Everyone 100% has the right to absolutely shit on them for strangling copyright law all these years, though.

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

I smell a spicy lawsuit

More than happy to wait

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.

This you?

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.
