  Let’s be honest: I, as a customer, want to make informed buying decisions. I want to buy food that is tasty and maybe is healthy, but not based on some image that some marketing guys want to push. I want to choose the car which is best (and cheapest) for my purposes, and don’t want to be hearded into buying something else. I want to choose the best insurance for me and not be mislead by some emotional ad showing me a happy family.

  And I really do not want to be manipulated in an emotional vulnerable moment so that I buy something. That’s shady as fuck

  I really fear that they will get a not so nice letter from Microsofts lawyers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a cancelled game you really miss?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Back in the day I played a browser game called “Inselkampf”. That was way before anybody did the whole monetazation and one of the earlier ones. It was awesome: You had a level playground. People formed alliances on their own without the game having such a feature. We hang out in IRC channels. We plotted wars, starting in the middle of the night in order to surprise the other alliances. We had diplomats talking to other alliances. People started alt accounts and snuck into the enemy alliances in order to spy on them. Some rose to top ranks, leading to epic betrayals and epic wars.

  Everything from that is gone. The game is long offline. The players dispersed, the IRC channels abandoned, everything never to be repeated

  I remember those screenshots in the mags back in the day. Yes, I want to play that version, too - and the tank and heli looked so cool back then!

  A decentralized service like Mastodon will have the same issues when governments are knocking on the door. The turkish government totally can force all those small turkish instance admins to defederate instances who are not reacting to legal threats. And all those small admins don’t have the resources to fight a lengthy legal battle against their own government

  Yeah, but other people have other use cases and Wordpress is a good option for them

  Yeah - the article is really interesting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung’s latest stick vac can alert you to calls and text messages⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It totally makes sense - the dirt has to go somewhere and a cheap bag which you can take out and throw away sounds better than a tiny compartement that you have to shake out spreading the dirt everywhere

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung’s latest stick vac can alert you to calls and text messages⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even better:

  Even better, if you’re doing the wash and left your phone in the other room, Samsung’s added touchscreens to its washers and dryers, including the new Bespoke AI Laundry Vented Combo washer / dryer ($3,099). This lets you answer a call directly on the built-in 7-inch LCD screen.

  You can take calls with your clothes dryer!

  If you’re not selling access, why should you care? You are providing a service to your users and if they want to stream from you, they will figure out how to do this

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It was difficult to setup

  I’m not really sure here - I just did the setup and you literally paste one command into your terminal. There you’ll find the Jellyfin IP and port, visit it in a browser and you’ll get a simple wizard which guides you into setting up your libraries. Which also is not complicated, you just select a folder where your stuff is?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You should know there's a font designed to make reading easier, especially for people with low vision. It's called Atkinson Hyperlegible Next. It's free for personal and commercial use.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have been using this font on my eBook Reader for years. It’s great. Highly recommended - it might look a little bit goofy at the first glance, but it really is more readable.

  There is an international court that is responsible for prosecuting individuals for crimes like genocide oder crimes agains humanity. It’s sensible to collect all evidence and put Zuckerberg & Co on trial to see how deep their involvement goes
