Can’t wait till they get the ability to decrypt all the shit we’ve been sending over signal. Shits gonna get real interesting.
They’re just storing that shit up, waiting for the day…
It’ll be a bloodbath.

Kinda same. I’ve been MS for a long time. Moving towards Linux daily

Lol. Wouldn’t shock me

Wait, are they doing a Boeing over there at Microsoft? Did they take all of the marketing people and put them in charge? Surely they had people that work there that saw this problem instantly but they were either ignored or they said nothing which says a lot about what they’ve got going on internally at Microsoft.

What will it take for them to finally lose market share?
- Comment on Nintendo reserves the right to brick your console following "unauthorised use", in bid to prevent piracy 3 weeks ago:
Never tried. I’m a ps guy now, but the point is that there shouldn’t be region codes to begin with.
Anywhere I’ve ever seen a region code to be changeable you only get to change it a certain number of times before you get stuck in a region. This is why you’ll find TBD players that have been firmware flashed to be regionless.

Uh, we kinda tricked rocks into thinking using lightening and learned to use rocks to make AI…

They’re the Disney of gaming, really.

So, this is a basic security principle. If the system of access is too “secure” or too inconvenient, people will create workarounds.
Need keys for all the doors every second of every day? You’ll find duct tape on all the latches.
Password is 15 characters and changes every 60 days? You’re going to find post-its under keyboards.
Spread all digital content across 8 streaming providers that cost about $180/y? Torrent time.
Nintendo wants to brick users for trying to play an out of region game they paid for? They’ll never pay again and will reverse engineering your shit out of spite.
Same thing we saw with the music industry utterly failing to embrace internet distribution. Limewire and bearshare are their fucking lunch.
When will they learn to just make access easy? People, generally, would rather pay than pirate but when you start making shit difficult, nobody wants to play your games anymore and you see massive losses.
Meet your customers where they’re at!

Funny, I experimented with DDG, and they gave me a wikiHow with instructions on how to spend your final days if you know you’re dying. I guess the search engine makes all the difference.

Hahah. Literally no branding. I guess we shop on Timu or AliExpress. This truly cracked me up. Thank you!

Do you remember the names of any of these no name players?
- Comment on Anon goes to therapy 4 months ago:
You’re reminding me of a certain quote… “It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” -J.Krishnamurti
As fucked up as this world is, if you’re well adjusted to it, you’re broken and probably should see someone, and if you’re not, you need therapy to make it through the evolving dystopian hellscape. …so yeah, I think that’s what they’re saying.

DDLC. It was a free dl, and I never played anything like it, so I figured I’d see what everyone was on about. It was surprisingly short!

Only until they’re born. After that, they’re 100% pro death. Execution penalty all the way.
- Comment on They're called leaves for a reason. 6 months ago:
I think that they’re just railing against the smoke show that would have us believe that our individual actions are more to blame than industry as a whole. You can recycle, you can drive a electric car, you can even generate your electricity and store it locally in a battery and not even use the grid but even if we all did that without change to heavy industry we are still screwed.
One small example of this is how big tobacco and big oil have used exactly the same tactics to distract us from what’s really going on and protect their profits regardless of the harm to us as a species.

Immediately thought of this. I don’t know if I regret watching that, or the warnings are worth the trauma. I still remember that kid just going “mom, mom, mom…”
- Comment on How do I avoid enshitification of my keyboard and mouse 8 months ago:
I recently bought a nice MX series Logitech KB and a mouse that will pair with 3 devices, also Logitech. After seeing how terrible the software is, failing so hard as to temporarily disable the keyboard, repeatedly, I returned both.
My best advice is to either try to use them entirely without the software and all its customizations or sell your hardware, buying something better.
I’m sorry friend.
