  Because they’re a monopoly and should get nationalized to ensure they align with the citizens rather than with the greedy shareholders.

  Ubisoft seems like it’s gonna be cheap enough to buy soon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I use Firefox with uBO on Windows and it doesn’t help. I tried installing filters I found online but they don’t do shit.

  I’ll just install FreeTube.

  I just have my phone always silenced except for phone calls from contacts.

  finally learning how the world works eh? Sooner or later you will experience it for yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Firefox browser now has a built-in page translator that works even without the Internet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Each time it offers to translate a page, there’s a “Never translate from [LANGUAGE]” button.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And now Bezos is trying to inserts ads everywhere⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that Spotify (or any other music streaming service) are the only ones still worth it. I don’t have to sign up for Spotify and Tidal and YouTube Music since any of them has whatever I need.

  If that were to change, then I’ll be subscription-free.

  Also, I like paying for Spotify since it’s the only European big-tech.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But my WiFi is just fine!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  No pulling wires from walls, just cutting the ends off and installing new connectors. Might not be enough in every case though.

  Crimping took me like 5 attempts to get right when I learned it in school.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But my WiFi is just fine!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you have a shitty 10mbps connection like my parents? Then WiFi, because you’re easily saturating that line either way.

  Only if latency doesn’t matter. WiFi has a lot more jitter, no matter if your WAN connection is 10 or 1000mbps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SpaceX projected 20 million Starlink users by 2022—it ended up with 1 million⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Rural areas are already covered by Viasat. Which is going to be more efficient due to the simple nature of only needing like 5 to 10 satellites in the 100-year orbit height… rather than 60,000+ Starlink satellites in the 5-year orbit height.

  Latency sucks with Viasat. You won’t play multiplayer games on it, and even web browsing will be sluggish with how many round trips displaying just a single page requires nowadays.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Markdown everywhere⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Try to do any formatting more complex than none at all in Confluence. It just gets polluted with invisible markup and changes styling randomly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Intel announces Thunderbolt 5 with double the bandwidth (40 Gbps to 80 Gbps)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you connect PCI-E devices to USB 4? That feels like the only useful feature of Thunderbolt imo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The lengths we have to go to⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve heard of people printing out charts, then cutting out the part they wanted to calculate an integral of, then weighing the paper.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's not just you — no one is posting on social media anymore⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  My Facebook is only memes, only from the large meme pages, not the ones I like that I have to check manually since they’ll never end up in my feed. And news articles.

  It started with Facebook just hiding what your friends are posting. It still happens that someone shares a photo once a year or so, but I will never get shown it. I just browse my friend’s profiles manually.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple to Limit iPhone 15 USB-C Cables to USB 2.0 Speeds: Report⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Some people will always want wires to transfer data,

  But that group of people is growing smaller and smaller with each year. I haven’t used a phone cable to transfer files once in the last 8 years. Phones just sync to cloud.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gamers nexus on LTT⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s so idiotic that it can’t be malice.

  It’s just Linus overworking his employees.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Overwatch 2 retail patchnotes 10.8.2023 (Steam release patch)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Steam version performs worse than bnet imo. Steam is so much bloat but we’ve grown accustomed to it.

  I see cyan/gray, I guess others see white/pink?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Running DOOM In A Keycap Takes Careful Work⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s easy to port, has low system requirements, and it’s funny to see it run on a toaster.
