  it’s guaranteed to be irreversible in 20 minutes

  How is that a good thing? I want to be able to chargeback if I don’t get what I ordered.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube is dedicated to making itself worse; destroys SponsorBlock with ad injection changes⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A truly shocking number of people don’t use any form of adblock. I doubt that driving off the adblock users will have a significant effect on viewership (and even if it does, why would Google care, it’s not like we’re making them money).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slur filter censoring the string "the app" (without a space in between)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seriously though, why? I’m not a native speaker so I think there’s something going over my head here. Someone please explain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happens if I never activate Windows?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They probably prefer consumers running pirated Windows over consumers running Linux. As long as most people are more familiar/comfortable with using Windows than Linux, the more likely companies are to not even look at alternatives.

  So, nothing? Because you still need professional translators for creative works, plenty of writing simply doesn’t directly translate as it relies on culture-specific context that readers in other languages and countries don’t have. So you need someone who is well versed in both cultures to find an appropriate alternative for the translated work.

  Daggerfall Unity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon notices what they've taken from us⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sony does a lot of things right, but I’m not spending €1200 on a phone that gets a measly 2 years of updates. With that hardware and that price tag there’s no excuse for that bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨N-no... you can't do this to me...⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s no moral difference between refusing to save a life (at least when you can do so without putting your own life in danger) and actively killing someone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has google stopped working for finding anything?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It also doesn’t allow you to actually exclude keywords. Which can be utterly infuriating if you’re looking for a specific entry in a franchise or a lesser used definition of something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨can chromeos be hacked??⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or just straight up mine that crypto on someone else’s power bill. Much less obvious, so people may not even realise that their systems are compromised.
