- Comment on Five Men Convicted of Operating Massive, Illegal Streaming Service That Allegedly Had More Content Than Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and Prime Video Combined 1 week ago:
It’s the exclusivity bullshit that gets me.
It could be: New movie is released! Anyone who pays the price tag gets to stream it!
But no, we must bidding war gouge.
On top of that, X Y and Z services exist in America, but not in other countries, so in this other country, everything is on Netflix, while I had to jump between three different services at one point just to watch Stargate
- Comment on Sex education in English schools set to be banned before children are nine 1 month ago:
They are the center of the universe and the only thing that matters. They deserve to take whatever they want from anyone else because they’re more important. If others aren’t taking too, they’re just stupid.
- Comment on Rise of drug-resistant superbugs could make Covid pandemic look ‘minor’, expert warns 1 month ago:
At this point, all we can do is take bets on which will do us in first: climate, super bugs, or nuclear war.

Ubuntu was my training wheels 15 years ago

Thanks, I’d never seen that! It’s pretty glorious itself

- Comment on UK has worst rate of child alcohol consumption in world, report finds 2 months ago:
I can see where you were confused. It’s a simple mistake. “Child alcohol” doesn’t mean booze made from children. It’s alcohol made and marketed FOR children. In this economic report, their numbers aren’t looking good.

You moron. Build it from the top down, then just flip it over
- Comment on Microsoft starts testing ads in the Windows 11 Start menu 2 months ago:
I’m so skewed this direction that I’ll scroll past the sponsored version of the link in a Google search to click on the exact, unsponsored version. I don’t know why.
- Comment on Microsoft starts testing ads in the Windows 11 Start menu 2 months ago:
Go into app or play store and sort by most downloaded. They’re pretty exclusively a list of games and apps that you find advertised.
I’m my circle, people are seeming to become more willing to admit they got something from an ad. I feel like there used to be shame behind it
The most frequent lately has been women buying their clothes from Instagram ads. The argument they have made is that they see SO MANY ads, the one they choose to spend money on was because they wanted it and that apparently is a solid vetting process. But this is people in my sphere, I dunno if it’s a thing.
I used a Google TV stick and for sick of the bullshit ads and switched to a simple launcher. In reddit and lemmy threads, there are always highly up voted people who are happy to get “popular recommendations”.
The generality, I feel like, is people are busy living their lives, don’t want to research and learn about everything in their life, and just go with what they see.
- Comment on Stop Killing Games is a new campaign to stop developers making games unplayable 2 months ago:
Refers to publishers, not developers
They want server based games to release individual hosting capabilities at end of life, like games used to twenty years ago.
I feel like the language they’re using (a game as a good/product) could just result in server based games being labeled a service and switching to a monthly fee model. Or setting a predetermined end of life date (changeable to extend but not shorten)?
- Comment on [Eric Berger] Seeing this eclipse is probably the highest-reward, lowest-effort thing one can do in life 2 months ago:
The big difference is how close the sun is to solar maximum this year! The sun is at a point of peak electromagnetic activity, something that happens every 10 to 13 years, which is reflected in more chance of witnessing bursts of energy (flares and ejections) during the eclipse.
It in all likelihood will have passed by 2028.

- Comment on EA just added classics like Dungeon Keeper, SimCity 3000, and Populous on Steam 3 months ago:
Steam wins on market share. You’d think they would have started on steam if it was to make more money, or added them to Steam a long time ago. I’m sure their reasoning is sound, just curious what it was. Licensing deals, listing cost, whatever. Maybe they waited for all the true believers to get it on gog and now hope they’ll all buy again on steam for the achievements. By pride do you mean the Origin failure?
- Comment on EA just added classics like Dungeon Keeper, SimCity 3000, and Populous on Steam 3 months ago:
Maybe go back to Reddit if your replies are that toxic. I read that. It’s the author’s opinion that he’s happy it’s on steam now. It is not the answer to the question, so I thought maybe you had some insight or I misread something. I gave another user (you) the benefit of the doubt that maybe I missed something. Maybe you’re in defensive mode from Reddit. It’s not needed here
- Comment on EA just added classics like Dungeon Keeper, SimCity 3000, and Populous on Steam 3 months ago:
I didn’t see where it says why they took so long to add to Steam?
- Comment on Russia’s Starlink use sparks probe into SpaceX compliance with US sanctions 3 months ago:
More accurate TLDR of the article: He did explicitly deny it to an ally. Ukraine asked for it to be activated in Crimea and he said no.
Whether he should have or not is up to interpretation. He claimed that US sanctions didn’t allow it, but another time said he was preventing war. Why he gets to decide at all is ???.

Outlook has a little emoji response feature. We seem to have taken to dropping a thumbs up for confirmation, heart for thank you, laugh when joke happens, etc. Works great
- Comment on Amazon — like SpaceX — is the latest company to claim the U.S. labor board is unconstitutional, after receiving numerous labor complaints from employees 4 months ago:
Hey buddy, they’re people just like you and me.
Unless you’re a bot. And unless I’m a bot. Then those two companies are the only real people. Like embryos. Companies and freezer embryos. Those are the true Americans we need to protect

- Comment on Cable can't compete with 5G home internet, so it's cheating 4 months ago:
I guess to answer that, wonder if your water, electric, or waste companies are gouging you. If they are, like in Texas, then yeah maybe?
Everywhere I lived, people and voting have strong control over utilities and they are fairly priced because it’s a service not a business

Since the Superbowl, hating on Taylor Swift wins the male teenager vote.
- Comment on Detroit Become Human caught me by surprise 4 months ago:
At the end of each chapter, the game reveals a choice tree of dialogue and cut scene branches to see how much content exists on other paths.
I watched my daughter play, and she loved the story so much, she wanted to see what the missing scenes were.
Since I noticed a lot of people didn’t replay due to slowness, I gotta say, I was genuinely incredibly surprised and the insanely different outcomes that were available. Most only affected your relationship with the characters in the scene, which only affects the ending, but there was an insane amount of additional content that made the game feel vastly different for us.
