    Misinformation is fucking everywhere these days. And when you try to point out the truth, people get angry if it doesn’t match up with their feelings.

    That site is terrible. It popped up a modal begging for my email address just from scrolling, and it did the back-button hijack via hidden redirection on initial page load, which then redirected my back button to a different page which tried to beg me to stay on their domain.
    In case any future web designers are reading this: trying to trick me into spending more time on your website is the fastest way to make me want to burn your website to the ground and dance in its ashes.

      I really hate how hostile the web has gotten in the past 10 years.

        because every website got bought out by a major corporation which publicly executes its employees, every hour, on the hour, if their profit line stops going up

        I’ve got it, it seems to not engage when I follow links from other apps on mobile.

      I don’t have any issues when loading the page on Firefox Mobile with UBO. It looks fine, no popups or scam style hijacks.

      Here’s an archived version without the hijacking:

      Apnews hijacks your browser and their response was just “thanks for your feedback, we’re experimenting with ways to make money”

      They hired a person to do this and since every single news site has the same presentation I assume this is the default strategy.

      Weird. I get the pop-up, but not the redirect.

    I don't know, I think a rag calling itself Windows Central might have a bias towards Microsoft...

    Even the tone of the article sounds like their arms are tired from carrying their water.

    One thing after another, Microsoft is forced to respond time and time again to ongoing rumors that it's leaving the hardware space.

    A new Xbox rumor started this weekend that's now blown out of proportion, as usual.

    Can you bitch any harder?

    The last Target I was at only had Xbox games in their clearance section and they were last years sporto titles, nothing current.

    Small selection of Playstation and Switch games.
