Simple solutions for simple people.

We can’t let these fascists overtake society.

I switched to Tidal from Spotify, never looked back.

LMAO

My bad, this company I’m basing my software off did something mean. Guess I should just roll over and die.

Which is clearly so much worse than using an inferior tool for the job, releasing a crappy product, and never making any money in the first place. Completely detached from reality.

It’s one thing to take issue with industry trends, it’s quite another to say that anyone who has made a Unity project instead of taking a gamble on FOSS is a bad person and personally responsible for anything that happens to them. Talk about victim blaming.

Since you clearly know so much better, please tell me what open-source game engine he was meant to develop on instead. The game engine needs to be of a quality you can use to professionally develop, release, and maintain a complex multiplayer game on. It also needs to have been fully viable to use before 2013.

Or just downvote me, I guess that works too.

Things aren’t going to get better, are they?

Specificity vs sensitivity, no?

I don’t really think the current setup is too bad. Chromium being open source means anyone can fork it and make their own better browser without having to write everything from scratch.

Personally, I use Vivaldi. To the best of my knowledge Google can’t spy on me, they have plans for mitigating Manifest V3, and it has many useful extra features such as tab splitting and separate workspaces. It’s made to be super customizable and from my experience the interface stays mostly the same between updates - something that annoyed me a lot about Chrome/Firefox. It can be a little rough around the edges sometimes, but I love using it.

This is the power of FOSS. By default it treats the end user with dignity because you aren’t a tool to extract value from anymore.

You WILL watch this flashy, totally necessary popup video on 4G and you WILL like it!

One of my high school teachers, when asked what the relevance of some maths concept was to the real world, threw a literal tantrum about how all of school is bullshit and you don’t need to read Shakespeare to get a job so how dare you ask that? He would also yell at us when he made a mistake on the whiteboard and nobody noticed. I don’t know what compelled this washed up boomer with the emotional maturity of a toddler to teach.

I can count on one hand the amount of MS products I’ve vaguely enjoyed using. Most things seems to be designed with the attitude that people will be using this whether they like it or not, making the user experience fucking awful. Nothing wrong with shitting on them.

Wtf? ChatGPT gets things wrong way, way too often to trust it to “know” anything you don’t. Of course it depends on how niche the topic of information is, but I don’t ever trust it to definitely not be confidently incorrect.

Some are.

Imo society needs to be restructured in a way that encourages people to log the fuck off and talk to real people in their town, not some astroturfing bot on the other side of the world. Have councils pay randomly selected people to join meetings on solutions to local issues or something. Real people will call crazy people out on their shit and are (probably) not paid to undermine democracies.

Are those articles shown to you by Google News (the thing built into Android) by any chance? I’ve had those exact ones recommended to me in the past few days and it’s a little unnerving seeing someone else mention reading them all lmao.

My bad. I guess western society will collapse because a council wanted a plot of land in their CBD to be used more effectively.
