They probably have the servers ready to ingest, but no actual footage. Tesla owners aren’t having sex.

So you can’t provide any examples? Got it.

Oh sure! People don’t crave the system, Mastodon is just bad!

Hey, what’s the non-corporate alternative to a service that took over the world with consumers then? I mean, if the system is not the problem and people just hate Mastodon in particular, I’m sure you’ll have plenty of examples to share.

Firefox lost me after they snuck ai bullshit into the browser

I hate AI and refuse to interact with it. Your statement is false. They didn’t sneak anything in - they openly added a feature that lets you connect an AI assistant of choice, or with a single click, disable it entirely.

Unless they start embedding the ads directly into the video stream, they’ll never be able to block adblocks - updating your extensions will work.

maybe it will prop up PeerTube for once…

It won’t. Look at Mastodon vs Bluesky and Threads. Mastodon already existed, already worked well, had more features and was federated. People still chose Bluesky, which is just Twitter 2.0 owned by the same corporate douchebags.

People CRAVE the system.

They already are. So many user complaints on popular packages have nothing to do with a bug on the package, but are caused by the moronic permissions systems used by Flatpaks and similar.

It causes a bunch of frequent issues though. I strongly encourage users to select exFAT rather than NTFS for sharing a drive between Windows and Linux.

The only thing that feels like missing now is afterburner-like overlay in games.

There are a thousand applications that provide such an overlay, one is already built into Windows, do you really need yet another?

At this point it’s not in his best interest to finish it. It’s analogous to the situation Valve carved for themselves with Half Life 3.

Create enough build up, and then have to delay it for one reason or another and… you’re now trapped in a loop of more expectation, meaning the product must be better, meaning you’re not confident to release it as is, so now more expectation builds up, and the loop repeats until you know that no matter what you release the public won’t be satisfied enough, because reality can’t possibly match their expectations, and you’re no longer free to be creative because of the lingering expectations.

When that happens it’s literally your best move to not release the thing.

Everyone manages something.

Most workers manage something and create value. Managers are only managing, remove them and nothing changes - usually things get more optimized, actually.

I’m still using Windows 10 and no, I didn’t buy their extended bullshit. I don’t even run the latest version of Windows 10. I also have an update server setup so I don’t usually get updates often because I need to go approve them. But I also work in IT and I’ve seen every social engineering attack type that’s been used since the 90s and I know when to not click on something. I haven’t needed an anti virus on my personal system in 20 years.

To say I’m not worried about it is an understatement.

I don’t think anybody cares you’re proud to use Windows

I’m saying both: for your personal life, don’t use Windows and complain about it - use the much better alternatives, and the software that work on those.

But for work… it also makes no sense to keep complaining about Windows or AutoDesk or whatever software you’re forced to use. Sure, they suck, but work is work, close the door on your way back home and that’s when your life actually matters - who cares if a simple task took ages because Windows decided to force an update? Laugh about it, imagine how your boss had to pay for the software AND lose efficiency so make even less money because of this decision.

Fired for what? I didn’t say refuse to do your job. I said don’t waste any sleep if the software is bad.

If you’re referring to work software… then it’s not your problem. Who cares if it works well?

“Hey, that 30 second task you asked about is taking 30 minutes instead because the software we are forced to use sucks”

They paid for the software, now let they either deal with the fact it’s terrible or let them call the support center and ask for their help making the software work better. This “support” is often the entire reason they use to justify paying for the software, so go ahead, make use of it.

Either way, not your problem.

Please get my Autodesk applications working

Uses proprietary software.

Complains when proprietary software limits your freedom.

I am very persuasive and very round

Do you believe there is truly not a single valid reason to use windows whatsoever?

Yes.

I want to understand why the hell CTR is not on Steam already. The trilogy remake is on PC, Crash 4 is on PC, and CTR was even ported to the Switch - so clearly they have no trouble porting the game to weird architectures. GIVE ME CTR ON PC.

The comment you’re replying to didn’t mention one specific book. You did to try and portray this as some noble cause, but even books such as Fahrenheit 451 and To Kill a Mockingbird have been banned by conservatives, and they most definitely aren’t about “sucking cum out of anuses” as you so dumbly put it.

Nice attempt, but this type of attempt at dodging around never worked and will never work.
