Other than promises, what did GoPro actually make in the last 5 years that was better than the competition?
- Comment on Sony Reminds PS Users They Don't Own Digital Games 2 weeks ago:
Steam, Epic, and all other online digital distribution systems. They’re all the same. They decided to redefine what the word “buy” means, and we fucking let them. Same with other content like music and movies. They should be made to change their buttons to “Rent” and “Rent Harder”.
Except for GOG. They provide DRM-free downloads of games. Those guys are awesome.
- Comment on ‘They’re thinking about the likes’: deadly TikTok motorway trend horrifies Ireland 2 weeks ago:
Copyright is impacting their bottom lines, while public good does not. In fact, the more harmful the content, the more engagement it generates, which leads to more ad sales and more profits. Been that way since the beginning of social media. Why is anyone still surprised by this?

- Comment on Booking.com cancelled woman's $4K hotel reservation, then offered her same rooms for $17K 9 months ago:
This is the way.
Same for airfare, car rentals, cruises, etc. Cut out the fucking middle man. The booking sites used to be a nice way for consolidating your travel plans. But as everything else, they’ve enshittified themselves to a point where using them has become a major gamble.
Use them to find a deal, then go directly to the source. You may pay slightly more, but the fewer agreements you have between you and the service provider, the less chance you have of getting fucked over.

as well as deepfakes seeking to meddle with elections or damage any individuals’ or corporations’ reputations.
Everything before this doesn’t matter. This is the onlyreason for that law - they want to criminalize any sort of satire. Who exactly will be determining the line between a deepfake and a caricature?
