I know i didn’t mind putting up with a lot of Window’s bullshit, but I’ll never understand why they removed the single button click to create a folder in the files viewer. They moved it to a drop down. Idk if I’m the outlier but 90% of the time I used file viewer was to create folders because it was just one click of a button, but they just had to take that away lol

Me at the end of any fromsoft game after watching all the cutscenes.

That’s funny, I didn’t like it because it was too relaxing. I like games that take a lot of focus and concentration, but stardew valley didnt do it for me.

I don’t think giving users the freedom to choose what they want or don’t want to see encourages anything. Some of us are here for the memes or literally anything other than politics. Everytime a debate about defederating comes up, that fact is the first thing everyone forgets about

Do you not think some people doomscroll lemmy, only reading titles and looking at image posts?

That was the original plan, but seems like they will create a web app some time down the road

I understand what your saying and agree with you. That is definitely an example of having a voice. I think what many people are getting tired of is being forced to vote against something rather than voting for something. You still have a voice, but you’re not voting for cheese pizza. You’re voting against brisket. I get that’s just how things are sometimes, but after so many office lunches, it’d be nice to see something other than pizza and brisket.

I don’t completely disagree with you here. But when you only get 2 real options that don’t align with what you really want, then do you actually have a voice? It feels like to me we can pick x, y, or if we want to waste our vote then z. Z is what some people really want, it’s not gonna happen, but that’s what they want. But they must settle for x or y. How is their voice being heard?

I got an email that said to keep an eye out for another email lol. Glad I’m one step ahead of everyone else

Doesn’t it depend on the content? Textbook vs tabloid magazine/ educational video vs top 10 celebrity meltdowns. I don’t see how one medium is inherently better than the other.

They are claiming not to train AI using your videos/info theirselves. I don’t think it’s misleading just because other people can scrape that info.

I love Turtle WoW! It feels like one of the last MMOs that really encourage working with other players

I’m in a class right now that requires a DMR locked live service textbook. I can only access it as long as I am connected to the internet. I live where 2 back to back hurricanes just hit so I expected to not have power or internet and wanted to copy some of the text from the textbook into a txt file. However, the DRM detects the copy/paste usage and limits the ability to only copy like 100 words. After a quick search I found out the dumb-asses that created this textbook site put all of the text in <p> tags in the plain html doc.

I came across a facebook post criticizing the character model of Angela from the new Silent Hill 2 Remake. Thousands of people liked the post which called the model of the remake ugly and less feminine. The character is a teenager and victim of sexual assault…

Unappreciated sunny reference?

I’d argue it’s the advertisers and their hosts that are fooling you. Though I’m sure they’d be happy to know your stance on their practices.

Absolutely. If they charge me money before I get that hotdog in my hand, then I’m all for it. If they try to put an ad flyer in my other hand as they give me the hotdogs, im not going to hold onto it. Alas the hotdog is already in my hand

Why do you think it is the responsibility of the user to fund youtube’s server costs? Youtube is free. If it wasn’t, it would require a login with presumably a subscription fee like Netflix or Max. Youtube’s work around is to push ads and offer a subscription for an ad free experience. They created a problem for their users, then offered a paid solution. Many people accept that mainly because they either don’t know how to block ads from their end (or cant), or like you they think they owe youtube something. There is nothing unethical about choosing what information is downloaded onto your hardrive from the web.

Not sure what adblocker has to do with piracy, but the right to use adblocker is an even easier argument to make. I don’t see why anyone shouldn’t be able to parse through files downloaded from an http request however they want. I doubt most people read every bit of text from every web page they visit, why make an exception for ads? That’s like feeling obligated to reading every bit of junk mail that makes it way into your mailbox after you sign up for a new credit card.

I’ve not seen many pirates say that they expect companies to roll over and give them stuff. The biggest push for piracy I’ve seen is because companies refuse to sell their products. It’s all licenses to use which can be revoked at any time. Many people aren’t interested in licenses and since there is no legal way to actually purchase most games or movies, that just leaves pirating.
