Next up for right-wing performative politics, will we see a ban on VPNs?  I have to figure that it’s mostly boomers that are cut off from porn, not kids, as the boomers will have more trouble figuring out VPNs.

Easy AI fakery coming in just at the time when political divisions are deeper than ever.

They only care about the cash not the consequences. Same as ever. 

Fuck yeah fuck all the ingredients are still there. Weird to not sell it. 

Oh come now, they didn’t “lose.” A Trump appointed judge dismissed the case, which Disney would have anticipated and which they will have a response for, and the case will continue. A case being dismissed due to a lack of standing means that it wasn’t even considered on its merits, so Disney in no way “lost.” The…

Right, the problem is that I can’t separate Prime Video from Prime shipping, otherwise I would just cancel Prime Video.  Bundling is really the problem here, and I suspect they’re going to get sued for it at some point, probably sooner than later.

I feel like most street musicians could make more by offering to NOT play for money

How about we just make it so pharmaceutical companies just can’t advertise to consumers?

So... how exactly does exclusivity benefit consumers? Nobody’s complaining about having more choices. They’re complaining about having fewer choices as a result of arbitrary exclusivity deals. For example, being able to buy and play Dead Island 2 on Steam, GOG, the MS Store and EGS would have been great. Customers…

Gamestop really just needs to pivot hard at this point and just become what they bought: ThinkGeek. Thinkgeek succeeded in a marketplace where their shipping and general site were garbage but it worked because they provided products nobody else did. So of course gamestop got rid of that site, smushed it into…

I’m dropping Disney Plus when my sub runs out.  The price hike next month just isn’t worth it to keep.  

I only have Netflix because I get it through my phone service.

For now Gamepass is still worth it even with the price hike. With that said, it is beyond inevitable that these services will get expensive as time goes on. It’s not just video games too. I have the AMC pass that lets me see 3 movies for free a week. At only 24$ a month, that’s a steal (and yes I am very much aware…

People only THINK they want to walk every inch of a planet. But they don’t actually want that. I’ve been playing No Man’s Sky since launch and have never walked the circumference of even one of the moons. I’d rather have more detailed, crafted environments with a sense of scope than a vast, empty void.

Aside from Pete saying you can walk entire planets - lying for promotional purposes is not acceptable - literally nobody wants a walking simulation. Load up No Man’s Sky and time how long you enjoy walking in a complete circle around each planet. You probably won’t even know, because it all looks the same. Compare to…

Wow, did this article miss a very large issue with online identity verification: data security. Given the number of data breaches, the complete lack of regulatory rigor protecting user data (at least in the States), and how our data is the product for most of these sites, blithely handing your identification…

When I was in spots like that, I tended to write the email out several times without sending it and that worked for me.

Linus showed a severe lack of judgement in replying while pissed off about the allegations and not even having anyone vet his response.

Sure, but they talk about niche products for hardcore system builders that are hilariously overpriced all the time.

It goes right along with his tone-deaf defense of auctioning off the prototype cooler. “We didn’t sell it, we auctioned it for charity!” C’mon, dude.
