This is incredibly off topic here considering the fact we’re mostly talking about Google and the company giving a market advantage to companies that could cut them some “deals”

Wow. Windows 11 truly works against itself. (Though I expect MSFT to patch it within the week)

Does cheating in games justify downright deactivating custom accessories?

Time to rethink Windows 10 support cycle then?

This doesn’t stop Microsoft. It only encourages them to do it harder.

I came here just to say this. I usually now just download shit on my ipod so its godtier to get away from the soon to be overpriced streaming services

Thank you for this. Usually I go to my universities’ underground radio station but this works just as well :)

a year maybe

Honestly, I don’t even think it’ll be S mode. Just Home really and for pro users they’ll end up with the subscription model

Oh no im not saying that about myself. left a long time ago when he started rate limiting and funding right leaning mfs. I’m just trying to imagine wby people stay on a service like that. I kinda hope elon starts charging for twitter so when i see who actually pays for it, its gonna be much easier to cut them off.

paying for twitter

Not even. Remember he was funding people like Andrew Tate thousands of dollars. Nothing is gonna get these people out unless they get charged to use twitter

Its between the “it might take away jobs” to “spotify might use podcasters voices without consent”. I’m more on the latter but thats as if Spotify would end up being the “only” podcast streaming platform.

A bunch of my friends laughed when I said I was sad this service was ending because they were like “wtf? Who gets/uses DVDs??”

As they later pay $17 a month (and soon maybe even more) to barely watch any movies or have their favorite and shows get removed or cancelled for no reason.

A chip in our brain is not necessary enough for animals to be literally sacrificed for “future human trials”

Go back to farming dogecoin or some shit

You know elon will try no matter what.

I’m so glad people are calling Bluesky out for the trash service it is. I just mastodon outlasts this crap and we get more people on there than bluesky

Actually more like: “Here’s an HD remaster of an old game that we ported previously but instead of giving you the same price as that lets just charge $60 instead.”

Fans:

That’s not hair… that’s skin for his disguise.

most people follow advertisements right back into the clutches of corpo-controlled products.

The thing is I expect places like Lemmy and even Mastodon to eventually fall to this behavior. The reason I’m even viewing them as services that should be must for the common user is the mere ability to even move out without having to leave everything behind (if you catch what i’m saying) thats the real core difference and hope that I have. The problem is again like anlumo said, defederation is definitely going to be a major hurdle and one where major companies will especially take advantage of.

Defederation is honestly both toxic and history repeating itself i guess. There’s reasons for it but it’ll pass.
