I understand your take and mostly agree with you. I just want to emphasize I’m not trying to call anyone a dummy or anything, just that it’s OK to like what you like.

If companies aren’t going to cater to you, yeah that’s annoying in most scenarios.

Java when you don’t put in a try catch, vs Template<typename T> in Cpp

I hear what you’re saying, but think about it this way, should I have to log into my dvd player to watch a movie? There wouldn’t be any added experience. What about 10 years down the line when Sony decides to shut off PSN? Will they take the time to remove the requirement or will they do what they’ve done in the past and just drop support?

Forcing people to be online and log into shit is just an unnecessary hassle so that they can keep making money off their paying customers. From what I can tell, this does nothing for us. If we just “get over it” then companies will continue to be exploitive. Expressing frustration, especially as a customer is important.

If you ordered a cookie and didn’t get what you want, that sucks and is indeed frustrating.

However I don’t know what that has to do with anyone else. If someone wants to eat an almost raw cookie, or a too soft cookie or whatever, I don’t think that should bother you.

Big incel energy.

Not gonna buy it until it’s on sale, and not using their stupid launcher.

I have enough fucking launchers.

Oh shit, what would I do without… Scout Analysis?

One of, if not the wealthiest company on the planet, acting like they can’t afford it. These people need to come back down to reality.

*exclusives Thankfully Sony saw the writing on the wall and began porting a lot of first party to PC.

Platforms like the Deck are the future IMO

This bad boy can run so many PS2 games

Androids best advantage used to be full control of the device… Those were the days. Then it started with saying they know better than you, then locking you out. Now I’m waiting on a new, better solution.

Honestly it’s not like native Linux is too far fetched, but there would have to be a big open source common ground device collaboration.

Can someone ELI5 how searx works and if it’s worth the hassle of hosting? I’m privacy conscious but not paranoid.

When you’re a star, they let you do it.

Unfortunately they’re always chasing the next thing. I think they didn’t have faith that the video game industry would stay strong and instead believed people would focus on playing mobile games. The reality is there’s room for both kinds of players, but Konami knows people will always gamble. To be fair, they’re still making games, but not really pushing the envelope or leading anymore.

Lol chill, it’s already billed as trash food, nobody sold it as caviar. If someone wants to eat like a raccoon, for the most part, it’s their God given right. No need to high horse it.

The fact that people pay hundreds of dollars for this OS to get advertised to is insulting. Same energy as these smart TVs that feel like they have the right to show you ads.

If I’m dictator, I’m making this shit illegal, full stop.

I will say that the Google Auth prompt in particular is just this huge nuisance and a horrible experience. People should feel stupid for including it in their web experience.

It looks like the constitutional Court is the real boss over there.

I thought this was purposefully making fun of Ben Garrison, but now I’m not sure.

I loathe what part of the security community has become with the stunt hacking and vuln naming. That being said, I doubt it’s some conspiracy. I don’t know all the details but it wouldn’t be exceptional to identify a bug that has existed in processor firmware or legacy code for a long time.

People are looking at this stuff all the time, both professionally and for fun. You could make the case that it’s inevitable that there will be exploits found that affect a huge population.

In the end, as long as the layman gets smarter about computer security, the better people will react to vuln drops.
