Nintendo is doing everything in it’s power to screw over gamers, yet people will still consistently be like “omg pokemon, hiiiiii 🥺” and buy their slop even when the games get worse every time.
Like could you imagine if Microsoft did shit like this, the backlash would be huge.
Especially when someone gets “chuffed to bits”
Am I stupid or are the two statements in the title completely unrelated?
Hey Ted do you want to go out and fly our human flesh coloured hot air balloons together?
Average Linux user when you tell them you actually like using Windows.
Yep
Are you aware you dont need to understand the actual data to build data on a consumer. Even when its end-to-end encrypted proton still know your IP, the IP you’re trying to access, number of packets (data size) your online times etc.
So while they cant read your facebook messages, they know how often, and at what times you use facebook messenger, netflix, youtube etc. And they can turn that into a profile on you that they can sell.
They also subsidise the CEOs salary. And when him, his successor or someone else high up in the company decides that’s not enough for them, that treasure trove of consumer information is going to be awfully tempting to sell if they aren’t already.
Comparing a completely offline software to a VPN that literally routes all your internet traffic through their own servers is completely apples to oranges.
Oh my sweet summer child.
Remember if a service is free then YOU are the product.
Edit: 🤡: no you don’t understand I like this company, so there’s no way they would ever do something underhanded like literally every other company ever 🤡
Especially when you see the same couple of people with profile pics post everywhere.
I invest it in the next stupid crypto fas and either lose $15 or become a millionaire.
I know some people will be thinking some variation of
“Well it’s better they get rid of this one extension than get all of Firefox banned in Russia”
But you need to see the broader implication. They are openly stating that when given that choice they will bend to authoritarian governments. So if, let’s say, the US government demanded their user data or to put in a back door that let’s them get it themselves, do you think they would bend to them as well?
Yes it does? As far as I’m aware even Linux can’t apply updates to an active system.
So does windows for the most part
Do you know how often users actually restart their machines without being forced?
I get your a Linux user, but do you really not understand what a joke is?
And now using Linux is officially cringe.
How did you get in contact with them? They locked my account 2 months ago for unknown reasons.
Unrelated but I got banned from the atheist memes community for calling one of the mods memes a boomer Facebook meme.
