I think it’s time for a game platform divorced from Visa/Mastercard to rise to the occasion and step in for these platforms. Websites without these processors already exist, so the model is proven to work well enough (it’s less convenient for sure).
I wouldn’t think the US would be a good country for this hypothetical store though. I think it’s only a matter of time until they attack the publishers and studios directly. I’m not counting on the 1st amendment to help anyone.

Maybe I chose the wrong $10 adapter but I notice a big drop in sound quality using that vs Bluetooth, to the point that it’s not worth using unless there isn’t another option. I’m not really an audiophile, though I can notice the general quality of sound.

I may be biased from seeing what I see in my state, lol. Families have to beg them to stop driving after they crash into a building, no political will exists to change things. There’s more states than I thought that require additional driving exams.

In the US, it seems supporting policies that make the elderly retake the driving exam is complete political suicide. There is a good reason for it and it would keep people safe, but there’s no chance of it happening while the population that mostly votes is old.

Agreed, the beginning of the end of involuntary-only censorship happened when Tiktok got popular. The older generations try to find the limits of allowable content on platforms (within reason) but the younger ones effectively self-castrate everything they post everywhere. And it’s because one app owned by a Chinese company is a bit strict about it. It’s disappointing.
- Comment on IT’S THE FEDS! 2 months ago:
In theory it’s supposed to be unconstitutional to use FLIR on a house without a warrant to find evidence. In practice though, I’m sure they can easily ruin someone’s life for a while based off of “heat signatures”. This isn’t even mentioning what they could get away with if the Feds are involved. Who even knows anymore?

Pocket lint + port with no cover = clogged ports that chargers can’t plug into all the way. It’s very common.
I almost completely ruined the charge port on my last phone by digging out lint and scratching the contacts. I don’t use cases without port covers anymore.
- Comment on Hindsight is 20/20 2 months ago:
I usually tend to see that 2019 was the best year in recent memory for many people online in general (lockdowns marked the start of “worse times”). Not to say that no one would have a reason to hate that year though.
- Comment on 'End of 10' to Windows 10 Users: The Environment Wants You to Use Linux 2 months ago:
4.7 million sounds like a typo honestly. 47 million would make more sense considering that many people need their own PC to do freelance work.
I’m doubting that many people will suddenly see the benefits of PCs over phones and tablets in order for these numbers to blow up, but I could be wrong. It seems that mobile devices fill that need for most people and it’s been that way for a while. Given the tariffs though, it may be a comparatively better time to get a PC for gaming than an Xbox or PS and that could bring the numbers up.

There can be entire communities that know of no one that voted for the opposite candidate. That’s what helped feed the “stolen 2020 election” narrative. Some truly think that Trump should have won in a landslide because “No one I know likes Biden, how could he have won?”.
