ring doorbells can connect to the Internet through each other. Imagine a fridge made by amazon that uses the same network. Now imagine amazon giving discounts to apartments making it more attractive to cheapskate landlords. I can imagine insurance companies paying amazon surprisingly small sums to make this happen.

sounds like you lucked out.
from what I’ve seen, it’s completely random on a pc by pc basis if an update will re-enable some “feature” that the user manually disabled.
I think microsoft does this on purpose, so that some people can share their genuine good opinions while still ruining it for the majority of users.

Let’s also take into consideration that if you’re in the US, the current administration wants to make a database of neurodivergent people to make it easier to find them and send them off to camps later. It is actively dangerous to go to therapy.
- Comment on Had a take about Supergiant Games that recieved a lot of pushback fromy two longest running best friends. 4 days ago:
different people like different things, sounds like your friends like rougish games.
I enjoyed bastion, it was probably my favorite game of its year. I don’t care enough about hades to even give it the time of day, no matter how hot they made zagreus. With few exceptions, I don’t really like rougish games. The few that I do like I’d rather they be long form rpgs so that I can have a build long enough to enjoy it for a while.
That said, studios should be allowed to make the games they want to make. Forcing them to do art against their will results in bad art.

god is a furry, and their fursona is a trans-fem fennec fox. The messiah/prophet is a non-binary horni catboy with adhd.
The commandments include such numbers as “mind your own business” and “let people like things”.
I call my religion “awesomism” and you’re welcome to subscribe if you want. Worship is appreciated but not demanded.
Protecting the weak and vulnerable is sacred.
what do you think about religion now?

On the one hand, fuck GW, their plastic is too damn expensive for what it is.
On the other hand, respect for paying out profits to the employees. Mad respect, 100%. Wish more companies did that.
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 2 weeks ago:
Imma try to add something that hasn’t been mentioned in the top comments.
Epic’s refund policy is shit, comparable to nintendo. I buy a game, it doesn’t work, I don’t want to waste my time trying to figure out why, so I ask for refund, Epic said no. I’ve never had this problem at a physical retailer, and I’ve never had this problem with Steam.

I do have a personal website, but i’m using github to host it. My current works makes heavy use of generative ai, so I haven’t shared it around lemmy due to overwhelming negative opinion regarding ai content.

Oh.
Such style. Such creativity. Personality in design! It’s like looking back into a lost age from when things were allowed to be fun. None of this ‘advertiser safe minimalism’.
This makes my brain do the happy chemicals.

- Comment on Life is unfair to landlords 3 weeks ago:
I recently learned that my dad used to be a landlord. Problem was, he has a sense of morals, ethics, and empathy. Tennants would be unable to pay rent for one reason or another, but he wouldn’t evict them because he understood that sometimes shits hard. Eventually, he had to sell all his properties to a less scrupulous landlord.
I feel conflicted with the knowledge that I could have had a better childhood if my dad was a worse person.
- Comment on Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use 3 weeks ago:
This is the kind of shit that makes me want to pirate nintendo’s games purely for the principle of the matter.
I have several reasons for not buying nintendo’s games, from their piss-poor customer service, to threatening content creators with litigation, to actually litigating indie competitors, to cease-and-desisting fanmade mods and games, and generally treating their most dedicated fans like shit.
If it were possible to legally buy nintendo games and directly download them to my pc to play on whatever emulator I wanted, even if nintendo offered zero support for it, that might be enough to convince me to be a paying customer again. But no, nintendo has to do shit like this instead. fuck nintendo.
