However, that is what satire means.
It is so unbelievably ludicrous why these giants feel so compelled to keep gaining as much money as they can when they could already retire several lifetimes' worth. Greed is truly a mental illness.
Project X
Sounds like a teenager's ambitious ideas lol.
I just want the same interface from Y2K that runs so fucking fast my eyes can’t keep up with my fingers.
This is literally what Linux is always like and it never slows down even after decades. It boots and shuts down in about 3 seconds each. Join us; I spent a lot of time typing a foolproof guide recently. Let me see it actually get used lol!
I just played a game on Steam earlier tonight with friends; it launched WINE under the hood so invisibly that I couldn't believe I wasn't playing it on Windows. Nearly everything is cross-compatible these years with WINE, Bottles, Proton, Lutron, etc. There is basically no fear. If anything, the software typically performs even better.
Why do people like you attack the victim? The company is the monster for burying this stuff in pages-long ToSs in the intentional effort to make these sorts of disclaimers hard to find and understand. Is it because the individual is an easier target to pick on because there's a name and face to this poor woman versus a faceless, evil corporation in the shadows of bits and bytes with no clear antagonist?
Yes, she obviously messed up but the greater blame is always on the data predator, no exceptions—because if they acted ethically (even if it was legal, it was unethical), then this shock wouldn't have happened in the first place.
There is no reason that physically prevents them from putting it in giant, bold-faced font at the top: YOUR DATA WILL BE COLLECTED AND MAY BE USED AGAINST YOU. I've seen some ToSs with formatting in them, so it's totally possible. They should all be required to do this by law. Same with Niantic collecting all the camera pics from Pokémon Go players to eventually train their own AI, and not even returning any cut of the profits. Was it with the millions of players' "consent?" Sure, in legalese, but come on... Your wording suggests that the company is completely in the right, which, pardon my language, comes off as abhorrent when these people are just trying to find help, stress relief, etc. and don't have time to read through dozens of pages when the companies deceptively paint everything else as attractively as possible.
Good thing none of us have iPhones here, right, guys? Right?
It's just platform-milking, just like Meetup.com's latest antics; there isn't deep analysis needed to everything, haha. "Capitalism" is totally a legitimate answer despite being just one word.
Vivaldi is not open-source, so it shouldn't even be considered as an option. Try !waterfox@programming.dev!
Items at some libraries:
- Kill-a-Watt voltage meter
- Radon detector
- Telescope
- Microscope with slides
- Board games
- Cooking appliances
- T-Mobile-powered, infini-data hotspot devices that can fit in your pocket and provide Internet
I'll be back.
... to check on your work. Keep it up, kiddo!
Gosh, I hope these things don't start targeting Lemmy instances.
Hmm, I don't remember reading about this. Anyway, glad I'm off of Windows.
