Google and Microsoft didn’t “kill” the decentralised e-mail of yesteryear. They beat it fair and square

Sure, they might’ve cornered the market fair and square, but they’re certainly doing anticompetitive things in keeping it cornered.

Just try setting up a mail server not connected to any of the big corpos (Google, MS, Cloudflare or their clients with more niche marketing) and see who will actually recieve your mails. You most likely won’t land into the Spam folder either.

Microsoft should go macro-shaft themselves.

Dry snow doesn’t sound like too bad of a proposition on its own.

All math is a lib lie! Just look at those blasphemous arabic numerals!

Was McDonalds ever cheap in the first place?

Yes, but framing is important. Saying “Oh look what our perfect corporate buddies over at Taylor let us do even though it’s their call” (a huge lie btw.) vs. saying “We finally got this victory, we can finally do part of what we should’ve never have been unable to do due to corporate greed, thank you Taylor for getting some sense, it seems like your scrooges still have some semblance of a soul left” is a big difference. As always, the truth is somewhere in between these two extremes. However, I’m inclned to lean towards the latter more than the former on the spectrum.

Yes. Just as entering through an unlocked door isn’t trespassing.

In a few years they’ll charge you monthly for the priviledge of using/knowing what it collected on you.

lifted subscription fees

So they’re not charging anything?

I was wondering, what makes the modem that hard to replace?

I get that the embedded systems in cars are complex works of engineering, but I don’t see why there can’t be some sort of standardized physical interface akin to OBDII to be used to ‘upgrade’ the modem.

Yup, just the ones that don’t produce fruit and mell like rotting flesh…

It’s not twitter it’s Xitter!

Even its name is full of shit. a hallucination

There, fixed it for you.

A game you paid for. On a console you also paid for. And you also pay for PS Plus as well.

Right. If they take an hour for being a minute late, they should also give one for being a minute early.

Going by US laws (life + 70 years), all of Picasso’s art is all still copyright protected in the US until 2043, so it’s even less of a difference than you may realize.

Well, they are half-eaten on the back, so checks out.

I’d argue anything over 30°C is hot, but yes.

Not everyone believes an AI bubble is forming

Well, the AI’s not wrong. No one believes a bubble is forming, since it’s already about to burst!

but not the misuse of public content

Is that an admission that they don’t own the content others posted on their site?
