Also Microsoft products have become enshitified beyond recognition.
- Comment on HIGH ON LIFE 2 Official Trailer 2 weeks ago:
One thing that I hope they didn’t carry over from the first one is the ad-libbing of 90% of the NPC’s lines. The voice actor is not good at improv and constantly resorts to swearing and throwing insults out of no where for shock value whenever he hits a block. At first it was funny because it was different to what you’re used to but it got old really quick.
- Comment on What's going on with Borderlands 2? Steam is giving it for free, but the game has 23% positive recent reviews. 2 weeks ago:
A government that cares for is people would ban this shit and procecute any company trying to find ways around it.
- Comment on Microsoft announces new Windows changes in response to the EU's (DMA) Digital Markets Act for EEA users, including Edge not prompting users to set it as the default unless opened 3 weeks ago:
It’s some sketchy pre-cracked Jack Sparrow edition I torrented to run exclusively offline in a VM and will never let it connect to the internet. I’m not too worried about security updates.

I have a copy of Windows 10 LTSC that I have installed on a virtual machine just in case I need the one last program that I use that I cannot get to work on Linux.
Lately I upgraded my machine and had to reinstall everything. As I was installing Windows on my VM, it started demanding that I create an account and wouldn’t let me proceed without one, asked be to associate third party accounts to my OS and was generally being extremely intrusive and forceful in ways I didn’t remember it being before, like opening Edge and forcing me to click through an introduction that I didn’t want without giving me the option to close it. I then realized that I had forgotten to disable network access to my VM and that Windows had downloaded updates during the install.
I immediately destroyed that VM and started over again, this time without allowing it to connect to internet. Suddenly the experience was far better.
The moment I had let Windows connect to the internet it had thoroughly enshittified itself. It let me appreciate how badly Microsoft has enshittified Windows 10 over the years ever since its release. We are far away from the Windows 7 days.

9gag is a cesspool of trollbots.
- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies 4 weeks ago:
For me anyway, my loss of interest in the DOOM franchise started when they started dehumanizing the Doom Marine and started stacking fantastic/medieval elements to the main protagonist and his arsenal.
I like my DOOM games when it is a battle of sci-fi military forces against demonic forces. Human technology versus brutish monsters. But now with Dark Ages Bethesda turned the franchise into a more violent and edgy Skyrim.
- Comment on What could go wrong? 5 weeks ago:
Neither would a human therapist be inclined to find the perfect way to use all this information to manipulate people while they are being at their weakest.
They are also pushing for the idea of an AI “social circle” for increasingly socially isolated people through which world view and opinions can be bent to whatever whoever controls the AI desires.
What we are currently witnessing is a push for a human mind manipulation and control experiment that will make the Cambridge Analytica scandal look like a fun joke.

- Comment on Apple customers are paying 16 times more for a chinese product sold 25 bucks 1 month ago:
Hence why they very rarely include expandable storage as an option on their devices. Gotta overcharge the suckers for a laughably small increase in storage space. Or even better: Have them pay monthly fees for cloud storage.

- Comment on This is real 2 months ago:
They’re throwing Trump supporters a mental gymnastics buoy they can hold onto in this hormone situation that clearly makes Trump look bad. At that point they don’t care whether or is true or not, they just want something to believe in that doesn’t conflict with their current political views.

His bone spurs even magically disappeared!
It’s not his first time he uses a doctor who will say whatever he wants for a fee.
- Comment on A 'US-Made iPhone' Is Pure Fantasy 2 months ago:
Only $4000 for the entry model. That how much is costs once the tariffs on the semiconductors has been covered, the salaries high enough to motivate people to willingly work the assembly lines now that immigrant workers are gone, and the markup needed to cover the cost of completely creating an entire supply chain from scratch as well as paying back the insane debt that results from the outrageous high risk investments this would require and that frankly no investor would want to touch with a 10 foot pole.

“Stop selling us so much stuff! Here are tariffs to discourage you from selling us stuff”
“Ok, we’ll sell more stuff to each other then”
“Hey no fair! You’re harming my economy!”

- Comment on How exactly are people lighting Teslas on fire? 2 months ago:
If I ever got tired of my car and wanted to burn it down somewhere safe and legal to do it, I’d do it the same way as it is usually done for any kind of car: break the window, douse the inside with a flammable liquid and light it up. I’d also have to be very careful while lighting it because if the flammable fumes have time to build up inside before being lit, it could explode and injure the person lighting it.

- Comment on Starlink is now accessible across the White House campus, which was already served by fiber cable, after service was “donated”, as some cite security concerns. 3 months ago:
In any healthy democracy, this would have been seen as a scandal exposing signs of corruption and would have likely resulted in the dissolution of the government and early election.
But the US is not a healthy democracy.

McDonald’s couldn’t even get AI to take drive-through orders properly. Musk wants it to run the government.
- Comment on Art of the Deal 3 months ago:
He’s creating an environment of financial uncertainty over his trade partners to drive away investors from them.
Except he doesn’t seem to realize he’s also creating uncertainty around his own country as well. Everyone else will still get investments to develop trade with any country that isn’t the US.

It is a pretext to attempt to run Canada’s economy in order to make it easier to annex it.
- Comment on Ex-Amazon VP explains why rich a-holes with helicopters and personal assistants don't get why you hate your commute 3 months ago:
I would argue that the fact that they are using labor and resources that would normally serve a large number of people to serve only themselves due to the sheer extravagance of their needs increases costs for everyone else thorough increased scarcity.
- Comment on Why can't we go back to small phones? 3 months ago:
One thing that annoys me on the market at the moment is that the majority of folding phones available are like small crappy tablets that fold into a large, impractical to carry phones, and not large, very usable phones that fold into something much more compact that is easier to carry…
