- Comment on Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission 2 days ago:
You can disable so-called essential components and I believe it ships without almost any of the bloat. So essentially you could just take one drive out. Or at least that’s my hope

It’s ltsc an option for 11 like it was for 10?
- Comment on Man makes money buying his own pizza on DoorDash app 3 days ago:
That’s funny but I think Son is easily the dumbest billionaire. He’s also the bag-holder for the whole WeWork grift.
- Comment on Facial recognition startup Clearview AI settles privacy suit in the U.S. by giving plaintiffs a share of the company’s potential value, rather than a traditional payout, over lack of liqudity 1 week ago:
More like, “they will be offered part of the proceeds of any further watches we steal.”
I don’t know if I’m personally part of the class, but if I am, as relief I would want an injunction for them to fucking leave me alone, not shares in their operation.
- Comment on Can somebody explain why game makers don't start their own companies together? 1 month ago:
As a counterpoint to most of the cynicism here, this is how the company I now work for formed. Caveats include: the founder had a lot of money because he had previously worked for a big name Internet company when it was a startup, and we spend almost all of our time as contractors for other studios rather than developing in-house IP.

Ngo monitor is right wing bullshit with zero credit.

Holy fuck. 373 games. I’m very touched that so many are giving their hard work away to support this cause. Got it and added the extra payment on.
- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb 2 months ago:
I think it’s fair to acknowledge that everything is a trade-off, and without downvotes, we have to accept the downsides.

No. How about you, are you anti-abortion?

I’d be fine with what you describe in the second paragraph, but that’s not what’s meant by “forced.” That’s opt-out. Forced is what’s really objectionable, especially when it’s abused, as discussed in the article and elsewhere in these comments.

Even at the risk of Microsoft adding more spyware to my machine, reinstalling apps I deliberately uninstalled, reverting privacy settings I set, strongarming me into using their browser, etc? All of which has been reported.
My hardware, my choice.

Meh. You’re not just talking about just making it automatic or easy or recommended, but actually forcing everyone to have to go along with it and taking away the option to not do it.

Let’s have the authorities force us to eat salad and exercise while we’re at it, it’s better for us

Haha amazing logo
- Comment on Get ready to hear more about "pre-internet" times 5 months ago:
I might even suggest that having an mp3 or other file-based record collection is still in the same vein.
The big departure, imo, is people who don’t own their music collections. They rely only on Spotify or Apple or Amazon or whatever and just stream.
One day, when their contracts with the labels or whatever expire, your collection evaporates. It’s happened before.

Some of them don’t even log the data required to cooperate with requests. Mullvad is one.
- Comment on You probably don't need a VPN 5 months ago:
Yep. BIG deficiency in this article. I don’t use a VPN because of shadowy “hackers” who sit in front of their keyboards with a pistol and a balaclava. I use it because ISPs and governments have demonstrated they can’t be trusted.
