The fact that it’s mostly like Reddit and people mostly act like redditors.
There’s not really a way around it though.

Oh no, won’t someone please think about the religious LGBT-hate organisation 😭😭
As a religious organisation, they are allowed to hire based on characteristics that you usually aren’t allowed to discriminate with. They’ve repeatedly supported legislation that would allow them to refuse to hire LGBT people.
Across several countries, they’ve campaigned against the right for homosexual sex, marriages, inclusion in media.
They refused a $3.5m contract from the San Francisco city gov because it would’ve included giving the same domestic benefits to same-sex couples.
They said they’d leave New York if they were forced to offer the same domestic benefits to same-sex couples.
They campaigned against UK local councils including gay people in media like leaflets and the like.
High ups in The Salvation Army has said if you support gay rights you shouldn’t donate to them.
They’re extremely transphobic too, of course.
They did a bunch of child sexual abuse in Australia.
In the UK they own a lot of property that poor people stay in, and the conditions have been so bad that it was unlawful.
For the most part it’s just that they’re homophobic as fuck.
Same as you would with any other data.
Although it’d matter much less if you know you can just pirate it again in the event of you doing no backups and losing the data.
I disagree. Piracy is the answer IMO.
as someone else said, invasive DRM exists on discs too
discs can’t store enough data for a lot of modern games, necessitating downloads anyway
discs can be damaged, lost, or stolen
The only way to ensure we still have access to this stuff in the future is a healthy cracking and pirating community.
No but I definitely should

How would you like it if a “friend” insisted on you being a man? That’s exactly what you’re doing.
I bought solid wood furniture rather than stuff from Amazon/IKEA/whatever.
It’s more expensive (although there’s plenty of used stuff out there that just needs a clean or at worst a sand/restain), but I have a dinner table, chairs, coffee table, bed frame, etc that I couldn’t break if I tried.
Flat pack/chipboard stuff either goes wobbly or falls apart. Even some of the best ones that stay solid for years seem to suddenly turn to shit once you dismantle and reassemble it.
My daughter has already said she wants my dining table when I die lol
And even the “they don’t pay the artist thing” is somewhat defensible in that the record labels take a much larger cut than Spotify.
They’re the main ones taking the money away from artists.
By far my main issue with Spotify is for giving massive paycheques to the likes of Joe Rogan
It’s not the full force. I shared my account and for a while it was the same, you had to dismiss warnings and say “yeah I’m totally in the same household”, but about a month ago it stopped working entirely.
I stopped paying. I could justify sharing my netflix account, but £18 for a single person household, with me not being much of a TV watcher in the first place? Nah.
If they had just been slightly less greedy, I’d have happily continued. Shit company.
The Brexit clusterfuck was prior to the Trump clusterfuck, and certainly prior to Texit.
Shit, chief neoliberal shithead Reagan is just Thatcher with a USA badge slapped on the front.
Teslas are poorly made though.
You’d be surprised. I’ve even encountered a lot of gay people who are against the ‘T’ or the ‘BT’ in LGBT.
Being gay certainly makes you more likely to be progressive, but I’ve learned it definitely doesn’t guarantee it.
Plenty of gay people are regressive, hateful fuckwits.
Exactly, all these redditors and lemmyers (lemmings??) keep saying “oh he should be working for MI5 or a cyber security firm, not getting court-ordered mental support!”
And it makes me want to bang my head against the wall. Even if we ignore him purposely breaking the law while on curfew from breaking the law previously, has been violent, and straight up said he wants to commit more crime, even if all of that is ignored, no company would trust him.
His application would be thrown straight into the bin in my company, and we don’t even deal with stuff that’s that sensitive.
Like seriously, have these people ever heard of the concept of insider threats?
And people keep making up bullshit about him.
He’s not in prison, he’s in a mental institution getting therapy because he has issues and was violent. He straight up told the judge he intends to commit more crimes.
I have zero love for Rockstar’s bs and I do have admiration of this young man’s skills, but he clearly presented himself as someone who can’t just be free without any further intervention.
I find this way more insulting than my zero bonus lol
There are certainly some good things about Win11 - the new UI (in the few areas where it’s actually bloody used) looks good, albeit a blatant ripoff of what you see in a couple of Linux DEs (Gnome and KDE).
The new window tiling is great. Genuinely.
Now I’m sure someone will pipe up about how their custom Window Manager setup or custom kWin script is better but that’s either clunky, requires setup, or is completely incompatible with having floating windows.
Genuine hats off to MS there for having a brilliant window tiling system - something that Windows was already quite good at and nobody would’ve complained if they kept it as it was in Windows 10. And I say that as someone who hates using Windows. KDE has already started implementing similar functionality, because it works.
That said, moving windows between virtual desktops is still awful. Why is there still not a keyboard shortcut to move the active window to the left/right desktop?
The start menu opening in the middle is arguably better for keyboard users as you press the Windows key and your programs open in the centre, rather than a small box in the corner, that you have to move your eyes/mouse to. Particularly annoying if you use an ultrawide!
(It’s worse if you open the menu with a mouse though, flinging your cursor to a corner is much easier)
The problem is that they also continued with a lot of bad stuff. Even more ads. Even more data collection. Forcing their programs on you and making them more difficult to remove or change defaults. Dark patterns. Stupid system requirements. Even more bloat.
Microsoft did this exact same thing with 10. They entice you with a few really good features, then add a load of bad shit alongside it.
Yup. A lot of people say XP was the best but IMO that’s just nostalgia talking. XP was pretty unstable, horrendously insecure to an extreme degree, and missing a lot of creature comforts.
It was so common for one program not responding to freeze up the whole system and necessitate a hard reboot. Just made it frustrating to use. There are some things I miss though.
I don’t mean in terms of how the platform operates, I mean the people.
