this can be easily avoided by using linux.

if this happens to me I just won’t watch youtube anymore. It’s mostly garbage content anyway.

I wish I knew that 20 years ago.

sometimes you do, sometimes you don’t. Different updates will break different things for different machines. Some people are blessed by Bill Gates himself, and never have to re-fix their shit. Others are cursed and have to fix random shit unrelated to the update every fucking update.

I can’t prove it, but I think microsoft does this on purpose so that some people will enthusiastically share their positive experiences with windows while everyone else gets shat on.

ring doorbells can connect to the Internet through each other. Imagine a fridge made by amazon that uses the same network. Now imagine amazon giving discounts to apartments making it more attractive to cheapskate landlords. I can imagine insurance companies paying amazon surprisingly small sums to make this happen.

The problem with trying to explain it is that bigotted hatred isn’t logical. Try to get any actual bigot to explain it and you’ll get many (often contradictory) reasons.

The reality is both more boring and more sinister than what you probably expect if you’re looking for sensible reasons.

People who hate are easier to control. The powers that be choose a minority that can be bullied without consequences, create bullshit reasons for it, and encourage people to be afraid of and hateful to that minority. Those fearful and hateful people raised kids to be fearful and hateful. Those kids grew up to make their own fearful and hateful offspring. Some of these kids grew up to join the ranks of the powers that be, and brought their fear and hate to the decision making process. Combine this with the systematic destruction of public education, and you have current events in the us.

different people like different things, sounds like your friends like rougish games.

I enjoyed bastion, it was probably my favorite game of its year. I don’t care enough about hades to even give it the time of day, no matter how hot they made zagreus. With few exceptions, I don’t really like rougish games. The few that I do like I’d rather they be long form rpgs so that I can have a build long enough to enjoy it for a while.

That said, studios should be allowed to make the games they want to make. Forcing them to do art against their will results in bad art.

bleach wouldn’t be allowed today either

it’s not a double negative. it’s repetition for emphasis.

the Holocaust could have been averted if Hitler was allowed to be an artist, even though he wasn’t very good at it by the standards of his contemporaries.

Art has value even if it is “bad”.

killer queen black still pisses me off. It was still 100% playable without the servers (if you had people to play with), yet they killed all online functions entirely and delisted the game so you can’t even buy it as a couch play game anymore.

On the one hand, fuck GW, their plastic is too damn expensive for what it is.

On the other hand, respect for paying out profits to the employees. Mad respect, 100%. Wish more companies did that.

Imma try to add something that hasn’t been mentioned in the top comments.

Epic’s refund policy is shit, comparable to nintendo. I buy a game, it doesn’t work, I don’t want to waste my time trying to figure out why, so I ask for refund, Epic said no. I’ve never had this problem at a physical retailer, and I’ve never had this problem with Steam.

Nobody has been able to explain to me how this new game has fucking anything to do with Marathon.

they just show up at my house, unannounced, usually while I’m not there, and my roommates tell me “here’s a gift from ms derpinshnek”, and I have to say “tell her to take it back.”

I’ve started telling people to not give me their garbage.

I’ve made a lot of people upset, but also I don’t have to dispose of other people’s garbage, so as far as I’m concerned that’s a win.

unfortunately, i setup all my accounts on .world which blocks piracy communities.

Considering how many companies are forcing into their TOSs forced arbitration and waving the right to class action lawsuit, of course this kind of shit was going to happen.

so many fixes, this is great

Anyone else have the problem with newpipe that it simply doesn’t work when connected to wifi?
