I wish Mormons would be outraged over something that mattered, like the sexual abuse in their church, or the fact their church supporting mormon thieves and scammers across the country, who have stolen over a billion dollars from their fellow Americans.
Probably would have succeeded if it was in a japanese court against a Japanese company.
Which I think its why these Japanese companies specifically feel emboldened to do stupid shit like that.
I forgot about the rootkit thing.
And wait, what? suing over watching a youtube video? I never heard about this
Sony was so close to me diving head first into their PC gaming ecosystem, cause there were a lot of games i really wanted to get into, when they pulled the “HAHA SURPRISE, ALL THOSE GAMES YOU’VE ALREADY BOUGHT AND PLAYED? NOW YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PLAYSTATION ACCOUNT FOR THEM BECAUSE WE SAID SO!” and basically guaranteed I’ll never own another playstation product for the rest of my life.
Sure buddy.
I absolutely hate when networking equipment forces you to use an app to set it up, and the app doesn’t do anything that a website couldn’t do.
but the website wouldnt demand 87 permissions and have the ability to silently upload all your contacts and god knows what else to a secret server for advertisement and identification/tracking purposes.
Which is why every company uses apps… even if those apps are just a website wrapped in a app container. because you are the product. not the device you are using.
never thought I’d see the day where someone would say “I saw what happened to all the other stupid devices that did X, so I’m never buying a device that does X”.
But it seems there are people out there who are capable of learning… rare as it may be.
Thats a nice gentle breath across the last dying ember of hope I had.
yep.
I’ve not given Nintendo money for a long ass time, because of their idiotic insistence on choosing the most selfish, customer hating path at every fork in the road they come to.
because myopic little gremlins care more about their instant gratification and newest shinies than anything else.
but don’t worry, once the new wears off, they’ll go back to pointing out the flaws and “hating” the company just like everyone else.
Thats been Nintendo’s modus operandi for at least the past 15 years.
this is how stupid, self centered, petty, controlling, and anti-consumer, anti-fan Nintendo is.
They’d rather incur the costs of running two assemblies side by side, than simply give everyone access to a means of easily repair their switch.
They’d rather spend tons of extra money, than do anything beneficial for someone they arent forced by law to give it to.
the internet was so exciting and interesting back then.
Compared to now where its just another corporate ruined hellscape that you cant even begin to get into without protection.
Not enough for me.

To Be clear, I have a medical intolerance to heat. Its not about comfort.
Literally the only thing that would prevent me from saying yes is the lack of air conditioning.
I can not tolerate the heat, at all
fuck off with this maybe could be shit.
I’m convinced this kind of coverage is engineered for no purpose than to make people go “Well, it looks like a shoe in, so I dont have to go deal with the crowds” and next thing you know republican has won by 30%
Steam not only makes the experience better for customers, but the 30% developers pay to be on steam provides such a massive return on investment for pretty much everyone that isnt releasing scam games or are idiots alienating their customer base.
and steam reinvests it in shit like proton, expanding markets and customer bases for everyone selling on steam without any work for them.
Theres an absolute lot you can validly go after steam for, and absolutely should… because no one should fanboy any company. Every company should be held to account.
But this monopoly shit? It just sounds like some pissant tiny dev trying to punch up to make a name for itself, since it cant do it via its games.
The main reason I am pretty much exclusively on steam now, is because every other fucking digital distribution platform I used shut down and I lost access to every fucking thing I bought with no refund or compensation… Just because steam survives and doesnt fuck me up the ass, doesnt mean its a monopoly. Steam isnt responsible for destroying its competition.
Google entered heavy enshittification stage and honestly… it’s sad to watch.
google has been in heavy enshittification for going on a decade now.
Honestly you could make the argument that its been on the enshittification slide since they tried to expand out from just being a search engine company.
yeah. but that would depend on me remembering what version i last played on🤷.
oh well, time to hop in the cab and drive through a beautiful world I cant look at because taking my eyes off the road for 3 seconds will result in me rolling sideways down the highway lol
Yep.
You take the propagandized descriptions and names off liberal policies, and suddenly right wing idiots agree with the vast majority of them.
