Oh no! Time to retroactively pretend the thing I liked was always bad.

Pays 100$ for windows 11 pro expecting to not see targeted advertising.

“Play Candy Crush on the Windows App Store Now!” ad baked into the Lock Screen ffs why

Probably a terrible idea, but would these in any way be safe to eat?

Obviously not the toilet mushrooms, but maybe the ones growing out of the chair, cracks in the floor etc would be safe to cook if washed?

I believe in penguin supremacy

As others have said, the comments definitely feel more substantial / thought out here than they tend to on Reddit.

Less shitposting and people regurgitating memes for sure, but it’s been easier to actually ask a question and get an answer here.

On Reddit you end up having to filter through a bunch more BS when you’re just looking for information a lot of the time.

In a shocking turn of events, google decided once again to make their namesake service worse for everyone.

Legitimately baffling, keeping this feature doesn’t really seem like it would impact anyone except those that use it, while removing it not only impacts those people that already use it, but those who would potentially have reason to in the future.

Cannot think of a single benefit to removing a feature like this.

If only Microsoft relied on making edge a worthy competitor and focused on the UI/UX instead of these dumb head games.

Back when edge wasn’t just a chromium skin it was a neat idea, EdgeHTML was different at the very least and more options are always good compared to chrome monopoly bs. But at this point it’s just Microsoft branded chrome with a (kinda shitty) GPT agent baked in.

Idk at this point Linux is definitely in a better place games wise than macOS, coming from someone who uses both.

While there are games being released natively on (macOS) sometimes, they are far fewer in number than the number of games running like-native or better through proton on Linux systems. Also even when there is a Mac version, it often lags behind in terms of updates / support in general.

I think both OSs have their upsides and downsides, from a user experience standpoint they both benefit from the lack of obnoxious Microsoft billshit that plagues windows these days.

We grow great taste

I hate shrimp, fuck those things they suck and aren’t worth whatever premium BS the going market price is

Reminds me of some other cool game mechanics that have been patented/copyrighted leading to games as a whole losing out on fantastic ideas. The nemesis system from the Shadow of Mordor games / loading screen minigames come to mind.

Reddit feels less genuine for sure, than it would have even as far back as 3 years ago. The mod purge probably accelerated things greatly but in general it’s felt like Reddit was going corporate astroturfing route for a while. Real discussions are very sparse compared to the amount of people telling you “to solve problem, buy this expensive thing!”

At this point the only thing Reddit has is a numbers advantage. The videos are no huge loss because at this point since you’re forced to use their (god awful) mobile app they either autoplay obnoxiously or automatically popup obscuring the comments (discussion is 90% of why I go to a forum why make it harder to see comments?).

The desktop experience is still okay but the constant pushing to get you to enable notifications is very irritating.

I would but the cigarette lighter doesn’t work (wiring issues w/ the car 🙃)

Would be using it pretty much every day, my car doesn’t have bluetooth so I need to rely on a casette to aux converter that I stick in the tape slot. Then I end up needing to plug my (jackless) phone into a lightning to aux dongle, plug that into the aux for the cassette converter, and then finally swap to the tape deck. Super annoying and would be slightly less-so with a jack.

Welp time to start mass-buying dvd box sets and ripping the files, screw not owning shit you paid for

The only good thing about the walled garden was it kept terrible ideas like this from being possible

What would a percolator represent here? IE Something like this

Sometimes I get curious about chromium based browsers and consider giving them a shot for a while.

Then Google does shit like this and I keep mainlining Firefox out of spite. Half the reasons people experience “issues” with Firefox are just dumb garbage like this (see sites / web content being developed with Chrome-based in mind)
