I wager Sony would love the day when people pay 100 dollars for a game that gets deleted in 6 months, that they have to rebuy again at full price to play again.
Oh, you wanted to play [AAA game] that you already bought and paid for? Too bad, it’s shut down and gone. But you can buy the almost-identical sequel [AAA game 2] for just $90!
3 of my monitors are LG: Panic!
But I’m running Linux: Calm.
It’s also the only casino where the odds aren’t necessarily stacked against you.
In every other form of gambling, it’s a statistical certainty that you’ll eventually lose money doing it. But in stock gambling, it’s possible to come out ahead in the long run.
It can’t be just RVs and lavish trips with billionaire friends.
There’s definitely some Epstein shit going on during these ‘vacations’.
Hell, commodity futures as well. Or at least outlaw established markets for it. If you want to buy or sell a futures contract, you should have to write up the contract and find the buyer/seller yourself.
For now. Until Google says those apps aren’t “verified” or whatever and blacklists them. Until the next Android update makes it scan and upload every photo file anywhere on the device, not just ones used or made in particular apps.
100%
Plenty of Xitter screenshots even here.
You better start believing in alternatives. You’re on one.
Somebody in Xitter HQ is shitting themselves because Daddy Elon just made a demand that the business must actually be profitable this quarter.
I can see a promising market for ‘dumb’ point-and-shoot digital cameras reemerging.
Doesn’t automatically upload your pictures to train AI on, no internet-based privacy risks whatsoever
No AI nanny telling you that your pictures are too naughty
Never needs updates, can never be enshittified by new updates
No risk of the government getting their hands on your pictures, unless they physically confiscate the device
Can never be hacked without physical access to the camera
Doesn’t listen to you or watch you or otherwise spy on you
Most models have easy to change user-replaceable batteries
Most models are compatible with SD cards for easily upgradeable storage
Can take advantage of a larger lens and more adjustable focus/zoom to take better pictures (Even a relatively cheap digital camera could potentially take better pictures than the ultimate flagship phones that cost 4-figures.)
you see someone stealing from them, shoppers drug mart, whatever then no the fuck you didn’t
That’s every store. And I don’t care what they’re stealing. Could be emptying out the cash register for all I care. I didn’t see jack shit. Actually, on second thought, I saw the whole thing. It was clearly Elon Musk. I’d recognize him anywhere. He was the one emptying the cash register.
on shady websites online
Which is basically any website these days.
You never know when even the biggest names in online retailers are going to store your credit card information … and then ‘oopsie’ get hacked or leak the data.
I always just burned mine.
Our elected officials all think we should live in a big PRISON
Of course. It’s the natural evolution of a police state to become a prison state.
You can do a bullshit fork and then sell it, but if you owned it you could sell the exact same code with zero changes
To prove your point you’d need that example: an open source program that you can sell for profit with zero changes.
You can, though? If you find someone stupid enough to buy it, that is.
All you have to do is change the name and remove any trademarked branding from it.
It’s in the EULA for every piece of software, including physical.
*laughs in open source*
This sign won’t stop me because penguins can’t read.
We’re not looking for artisanal “did you make sure to reset your phone” style dialogue.
If I’m calling support, we’re already way past that already anyway. Yes, I’ll need to talk to an actual human expert who can figure this out.
Yeah, by the time copyright finally expires, it will be impossible to find a copy of it anymore.
