I disagree, I met people from reddit at meets IRL and we played darts and drank beer.

Oh no, I guess it's le shill lion from now on

Their moat is people not being arsed to make an account on a service that's not actively hostile to its users.

This is not music, it's gossip.

I’m quite let down. This song so similar to what they have done in the past that it could have been on almost any album.

I don't mind, I could listen to a hundred albums of them being the same.

we have no choice

You are working for free moderating an obviously heavily censored shithole. You have several choices, starting with deleting your account.

definitely reduces my loyalty to the platform

You are either paying the subscription or not, your inner states mean nothing to them or us.

that's a hysterical punchline

bigoted reviews posted on games’ Steam pages, which can hugely affect sales for their developers; and Steam curators (self-appointed taste-makers on the platform) directing campaigns against games they perceive to lean left or pursue inclusion.

This fucking shit again. Reviews affect sales? Well, good. You don't get to carefully select a few most-read outlets who'll give you the thumb up. Also, chud curators are "directing" only those who follow them. This argument is about a failing industry that'd like to control what can be said about their products. Make no mistake, Steam's openness in this regard is, for me as a customer at least, added value.

Translation: it's the same shitty gamebryo they're always using.

The real joke for me is lemmy being so starved of content a meme is cast of the first big spam message and people are irritatedly commenting that they haven't gotten it yet

Fuck you, Ubi. Apart from all your shitty practices, it's a 15-hour game that's 40€ with a 50€ complete edition and cosmetics bullshit. That shit won't fly anymore. I might get it in two years when it's 10€, but only if your kill your launcher as a requirement.

edit: also, it came out a month ago. Learn to suck on the long tail of sales before you sacrifice your employees to Chtulhu, they'll just make their own vaguely middle eastern platformers in Unity or UE and make more money than your shitty company.

“For personal users, this SSD can store 11,000 90-minute 4K movies,”

This is less useful than libraries of congress.

Pot protecting users from kettle

in the absence of alternatives, there are enormous economic incentives for advertisers to try to bypass these countermeasures, leading to a perpetual arms race that we may not win

Fuck off with that defeatist shit Mozilla, don't decide for us.

I didn't sell your shit, I collected it and shared it to keep myself comercially viable.

Fucking assholes, taking away gdpr and pushing for chatcontrol.

It's a win for humanity if it causes more people to leave and stop thinking it's a public forum.

• Firefox with ublock and a normal engine

• Newpipe for downloading stuff off YT

• OSMand for offline navigation

• f-droid for foss software

• Rethink to carefully ban everything that doesn't need internet from connecting

• a phone with a nice amoled screen and all-day quickcharging battery that costs 180€ (motorola g52)

• not one ad anywhere

a better question is, why would I want anything else? An iphone seems like a sharp downgrade.

That's great news, I'm really digging the slow downfall.
