I agree with almost everything you said. I’m not referring to services like Netflix as owning. More specifically the recent debacle with Sony removing access to PURCHASED content. I would happily buy my movies and TV shows on something like Google play movies or Apple TV. My issue is I can’t trust any of these corps not to pull the rug out from under me. Their track record says they will. It’s a question of when not if. We need a streaming equivalent of Spotify for TV and movies. Obviously it would be much more expensive than Spotify, but I would happily pay for the convenience of having anything I want as much as I want on one platform/interface. Streaming sucks right now where libraries are spread across platforms with varying interfaces, bitrate etc. shit just sucks lol

Mandatory reminder that if buying isn’t owning then piracy isn’t stealing.

I wouldn’t really use that comparison. The discord update resembles the old one. But old reddit and new reddit are damn near unrecognizable to one another.

Time to get the guillotines.

100%. Can’t wait to build my house in the woods and only maintain around it enough to prevent damage. Lawns are stupid.

I mean flaccid dicks are small. And for fucks sake I’m glad they are. Could you imagine having to walk and maneuver yourself with a permanently massive shlong?

nice 'n tiny limp dicks too

I’ve long called it hotdog logs. I hates it.

I’m getting real sick of this lawsuit crap regarding AI. Precedent case law already says you can’t copyright work produced by AI. So what exactly did it fucking steal, and how does it negatively impact them?? Imo, it doesn’t.

Why on earth would Canadians speak Spanish. We already have two official languages with 1/3rd the country fully fluent in both.

Did you try reinstalling pipewire audio?

Yeah how dare them try to make a salary out of their labour. OUTRAGEOUS!

Oh god no, never said otherwise. But for years they struck this equilibrium between evil and quality of services offered in exchange. That value had been rapidly deteriorating for the last 5 years or so. It’s just sad to see is all.

It’s funny, I always kept Firefox and Brave (yes I’m aware its chromium and full of fuckery) installed. But as soon as this news broke, before it was even confirmed, I swapped back from Brave to Firefox as my primary. Fuck Google for this. They’re just truly not the company they once were.

Although I think tails is great, this isn’t the ideal use case

The fuck kind of drugs you on? I’ll have some.

Mmmmmmmmm, EAT. THE. RICH.

B b b but… Think of the poor poor millionaires and billionaires :(

That’s always been my only reason for holding google to a different standard. I know what data they harvest and see really clever optimizations and tailored experiences for me on their services. I actively see the benefit of my data being collected as the end user. I’ve ever felt that with meta products.

Maybe if they didn’t screw the pooch on that cesspool Twitter they wouldn’t have to p a n i k and sue
