  Consumer boycotts are pretty much the only strategy guaranteed to work, the only exceptions being Facebook and Google, as they’re the only businesses I can think of that are both primarily B2B, and can operate on speculative liquidity

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Netflix Spotify Disney and Amazon proved that price hikes are effective at increasing profits even despite the loss of subscribers. Capitalism baby.

  I think the only time collective cancellations actually hurt one of these companies was that time Jimmy Kimmel made fun of the president and it took an estimated 1.7M ex-Disney Plus subscribers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Labour Party members just defected to Your Party en masse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Your Party cannot have MPs yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Facebook and Instagram ad-free subscription arrives in the U.K.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They introduced this in the EU a couple years ago (because laws). They make it really hard to discover and i’ve never met a single person who subscribes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Keir Starmer says digital ID cards an ‘enormous opportunity’ for the UK⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  protests are illegal already, ID changes nothing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Any Austin] Do Red Dead Redemption 2's Power Lines Connect to Anything?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They even kept separate layouts for the online mode, which takes place a year(?) or more before the campaign. Genuinely astounding amount of effort the 99.999% won’t notice

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK officially rolls out digital ID scheme, to combat illegal migrants working.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Were they ever asked how this would have any effect on illegal immigration?

  Nah the goalposts move whenever proof is received

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Borderlands 4 Launches To Mostly Negative Steam Reviews Over Performance Issues And Crashing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The review score is for you, the review lives beneath it, for the people who can read

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Keir Starmer sacks Mandelson as US ambassador over Epstein ties⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate how they’re going with the “over Epstein ties” horseshit in almost every headline. Being a pedophile isn’t enough of a reason for these roaches, he was fired over the bad publicity coming his was from the public finding out that the prime minster knew all along

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Lemmy much better with telling a user why they were banned?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah ₙₒ. The few times I’ve been banned or had my comment removed on reddit, I was told that it happened. On Lemmy, the reason listed is just as obscure and esoteric, but you have to seek it out yourself to even know it happened

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I see, you misread my or someone else’s comment. Please try again

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I said paying for nothing will never make sense. And it remains true

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even then it doesn’t make sense. There is no limited supply. Paying for nothing will never make sense

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No wrong choice. Though if you like Skyrim so much I’d say you’d prefer BG3, ever so slightly

  Is this going to be another Evolve situation?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Release for Only $20, Release Times Revealed⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think if you can overhype a game to the point where clueless people like tomiant@programming.dev are inventing PR, by not saying anything, that’s a pretty big achievement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Release for Only $20, Release Times Revealed⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If they’re only pricing it $20, how do explain the €100 I’m about to spend on it???

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft says recent Windows update didn't kill your SSD⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure about that. There isn’t any evidence, that I know of, of a surge in complaints. Just a surge in reporting because one person blamed the update. storage fails all the time, so complaints are naturally constant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft says recent Windows update didn't kill your SSD⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re describing pretty much every used PC in existence. It’s hard not to come to the conclusion that there is no issue and that one guy’s SSD just failed like they do

  It’s true that most of the English are feeble cowards, but I don’t think antagonizing the rest of the UK is going to spare you from what’s coming

  Didn’t one of these guys follow a girl home and murder her a couple years ago?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australia Completely Loses The Plot, Plans To Ban Kids From Watching YouTube⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Idea is great. Unfortunately unenforceable, though. The oligarchical internet is bad for brains. If they could come up with a way to do it without stripping everyone’s right to privacy I’d be all for it.

  Good start.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  IIRC Stripe is the main payment processor. If you’re paying with a visa or mastercard online, it’s usually via stripe. Hence, the immediate censorship.

  Paypal can go fuck itself and die
