  Lets say they don’t use private data for training

  (Continue reading when you’re done laughing):

  Eventually, victims eventually run out of “free” storage.

  The humble corporation will do a bunch of psychologically unethical tricks to basically hypnotize users into forking over those three digits at the back of the family credit card.

  Now the victim’s data is effectively held ransom. Keep paying or lose it.

  But they won’t stop paying. They paid for a year’s plan at a discount and the peaceful megacorp conveniently hit autorenew for them at checkout.

  12 months roll around and oopsie, they already have the money. They could go through the refund process, but they’ve got shit on their plate, might as well keep it for another year.

  I could keep rambling, but on Lemmy, I’m probably preaching to the choir about the first verse of genesis.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ROG Xbox Ally Is $700 And Xbox Ally X Is $1050⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d rather spend that kind of money on an escort

  That way I’ll only be fucked once instead of being routinely fucked by the subscription fees

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Steam controller was ahead of its time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Real life: yes

  Game: harsh

  Like, they could have put him in the naughty corner or something. I don’t like the idea of banning as a game mechanic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Steam controller was ahead of its time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If traffic rules were that strictly punished in real life there’d be like max 7 cars on road globally

  Otherwise, no nearby gaming cafés? They’re usually reasonably priced

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft layoffs are reportedly underway, with ZeniMax and King employees losing their jobs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  people just don’t want to work anymore

  NO

  THEY CLEARLY FUCKING DO

  BUT YOU FUCKING GREEDY CUNTS KEEP FIRING EVERYONE AND TAKE FAT FISCAL QUARTER BONUSES

  AND THEN IT’S A 19 STEP INTERVIEW PROCESS WHEN THEY TRY TO LOOK FOR A NEW JOB

  AND THAT’S IF THEY’RE “LUCKY” ENOUGH FOR THE DOGSHIT AI TO RANDOM.CHOICE() THEIR RESUME OUT OF THE 900+ OTHER DESPERATE APPLICANTS

  THEN THEY FINALLY SOMEHOW GET AN OFFER: $1.89 per full uninterrupted hour at your desk and a single bag of skittles (opened)

  Sorry for the caps, I’ve been in the job market recently and it’s fucking brutal. I have to constantly justify my value as a human being and then just face rejection after rejection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'll be doing their dad sooner then 5 years⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I genuinely don’t know how to answer this question

  “I really don’t know, man. 5 years ago I did not see myself having lived through a global pandemic, be clinically institutionalized twice and have fucking AIs argue with me on the internet. You might as well ask me to describe the 5th spatial dimension.”

  The stories from Abu Ghraib alone make my skin crawl.
