Jokes on you, no products are made to be one time purchases anymore. Buy it for life is dead in the commercial space. :(
- Comment on Starbreeze admits Payday 3 is massively underperforming 8 months ago:
Could you elaborate on which? I’ve seen a lot of sketchy reviews recently
- Comment on Spec Ops: The Line permanently removed from Steam and other digital stores 9 months ago:
I mean the game came out in 2012. It’s not really that absurd to base ones licensing contracts for 14 years when the medium (games) generate the vast majority of their revenue in the first months.
- Comment on What's your favorite game that you will NEVER finish? 10 months ago:
I’ve jumped in a few times since they started letting people play years ago! I’m a big fan and am eager to give 1.0 a whirl.
I like how they are embracing the solo vs trading play style and leaning into rewarding both types of players uniquely with power for that choice.
- Comment on What's your favorite game that you will NEVER finish? 10 months ago:
Arpgs like Diablo or pathofexile are my “will always play” games. Like you I’ve played the mmos, shooters, and others and feel like I’ve “finished” those genres and am satisfied not going back unless with friends.
It’s both a nice feeling but also a sad one. I still follow fps games and watch videos of them, but playing them… Meh
- Comment on Concerns about lemmy.world 10 months ago:
So what changed with Lemmy then? A few months back when I joined the ecosystem many instances including LW were unreachable for many hours a day. Joining up to a new instance didn’t make LW content appear (as they were offline).
The issues today feel largely the same as a user. Am I misunderstanding?
- Comment on Concerns about lemmy.world 10 months ago:
If the instance that hosts those communities goes down or struggles to stay afloat won’t it struggle to federate its content outside its own network?
- Comment on How have you personally found the Lemmy community compared to its competition and other social media? 10 months ago:
Yes exactly. Because anyone can spin up their own instance and communities on that instance, there are many duplicates of traditionally popular communities from other social sites. It used to be worse here, but it’s still pretty bad around sports, politics, and many niche groups.

objectively be more secure in terms of data privacy
Please elaborate.

This thread isn’t about kbin though
- Comment on ‘I don’t know what else to do’: Carnival Cruise customer spent 2K on trip. Now that she’s passed away, they want a $1,300 cancellation fee 11 months ago:
Almost every cruise ship (especially) modern has a fully functioning morgue.

Also, should it be surprising that the youngest voters are 18, when 18 is the voting age?
Pretty sure they said lowest and meant lowest turnout by age range, which historically has been the case. Here’s some data from recent elections showing this www.pewresearch.org/…/voter-turnout-2018-2022/
- Comment on Does the USPS, FedEx and UPS give a crap about weed shipments since Hemp sprayed with th same terpenes and looks the same as weed has been shipped legally for 9 years now? 1 year ago:
Hey OP, check out this defcon talk. I think it’s relevant to your question youtu.be/01oeaBb85Xc?si=UDuEjhJLxp6Ysjl5
- Comment on Petition Calls on Microsoft to Extend Windows 10 Support | PCMag 1 year ago:
Thanks! I wish I had this info for an old build.
Sidebar: Kind of silly how you and others are tripping over yourselves to include something against win11 while providing tech support. As if you’d be a pariah if you didn’t include some disdain.
“Here’s some win11 troubleshooting advice, not that I’d ever be caught using it! ;)”
- Comment on Is there any way I can stop seeing sports posts? 1 year ago:
Because it’s not one account but an individual user (bot) per team.
- Comment on When did paid podcasts become a thing? 1 year ago:
Sorry, I’m not the op who suggested originally.
Dungeons and Daddies is available on most podcast streaming services but they have a significant number of hilarious patreon exclusives (some of which are teased on the public platforms).

Equifax does about 5b in revenue and $120m in profit.
What a small fine :(

- Comment on T-Mobile switches users to pricier plans and tells them it’s not a price hike 1 year ago:
Awesome, thanks for the details. Bummer that your plan changed you really had it worked out :(
- Comment on T-Mobile switches users to pricier plans and tells them it’s not a price hike 1 year ago:
How could you keep data use below 1 MiB? That’s a significantly small amount of data in the modern era of anything Internet connected.
Were you mostly on wifi? You said you used your mobile primarily for entertainment, that usually takes data.
I believe you I’m just drawing a blank at how you were using your phone and its data plan!
- Comment on Amazon linked to trafficking of workers in Saudi Arabia, who say they were tricked into toiling and living in grueling, squalid conditions 1 year ago:
A password manager doesn’t replace that Amazon is a marketplace with thousands up on thousands of products in one location for users to search through.
The person you are replying to is less thinking about entering passwords and more about “now my personal details are across multiple different services half of which I don’t remember their names”
- Comment on The summer is over, schools are back, and the data is in: ChatGPT is mainly a tool for cheating on homework. 1 year ago:
So you are suggesting that a student looking up information on Wikipedia is the same level of academic dishonesty as someone turning in a paper written by chatgpt?
What the fuck?
- Comment on Most U.S. adults don't believe benefits of AI outweigh the risks, new survey finds 1 year ago:
I don’t believe the world is as zero sum as you are postulating. I truly don’t believe if ai were to be objectively better at creative pursuits that humans wouldn’t do them.
I think you are removing the agency that people have because you are associating it to economic output. I disagree with that premise and I don’t think that it’s rational to suggest that humans only pursue things because it produces value.
- Comment on Spotify's new Showcase tool lets artists pay to promote their music in the Home feed | TechCrunch 1 year ago:
And I expect all the same things here for my regular browsing behavior. But on the music discovery and listening platform I don’t get pissy when new music is shown to me, even if it’s unrelated to my tastes.
- Comment on Spotify's new Showcase tool lets artists pay to promote their music in the Home feed | TechCrunch 1 year ago:
I expect “ads” for new music on the music listening and discovery platform.
Y’all are making it seem like these are nordvpn ads on your homepage. Fuck off with this disingenuous comparison
- Comment on Update: Unity office death threat was made by a Unity employee 1 year ago:
Classic example of experience bias. “Well in my experience this is how the world works”
- Comment on It's not just you — no one is posting on social media anymore 1 year ago:
A solid amount of new memes I see are from Tumblr posts. A lot of people went back prior to Twitter changing ownership, and then many more after that too.
