They also seem to have no marketing. I only see ads for Apple, Samsung and the big Chinese manufacturers in public, despite the fact that Sony also has phones available here. Online I have no idea, I don’t view ads online.

And if you are American, get the fuck away from Google asap

The sad part is there’s almost certainly demand for an app that would let you remote start your car and use other built-in features without the associated tracking, but unfortunately the only way a 3rd party app can do it without installing an expensive 2 way alarm system or similar device, is by using the manufacturer’s APIs, which means the car has to be connected to the manufacturer :/

Owned by Google. Unfortunately it was never going to be without data collection.

Proton’s CEO is a fan of Trump and BlueSky is as American as apple pie. So is SubStack, it got series A funded by a16z, which nowadays is best known for its founder Marc Andreessen being an absolute shitbag.

Signal I’ll give a pass. It’s American, but a nonprofit. Mastodon is at least FOSS.

Steam, because they started with non-horrible DRM (compared to other options)

Au contraire, Steam was LOATHED back in the day, they were the first to force you to install a store just to play a single game.

For other games, you needed to enter a CD key on install (which keygens helped with) and then you needed the CD itself in the drive (which cracks helped with). Steam started the trend of online DRM in games, which was then adopted by others who made even more draconian offerings (I think for Spore you could only get 3 hardware IDs registered?)

Yes, because a third party vote is going to do so much in a FPTP system.

I believe you mean Johnson & Johnson, which is a different company.

No idea about the morals of SC Johnson, I hadn’t heard of them till now, but have used a product or 2.

Do you make videos like “look I have a cool new stim” or record repeatedly hitting people only to claim it’s a stim when they react?

If not, you’re probably not the target of my statement re: stims

Idk if it’s still going on but at least at some point, in some corner of the Tok, mental disorders were like little honor badges you could collect. People always showing off their stimming and whatever.

The worst one was always multiple personality disorder though. People referring to themselves as systems, having 100s of alters and getting new ones every now and then.

It sucks because it diminishes the realness of different disorders in people’s heads.

Linux for gaming and most other use cases, Windows for the one proprietary application I use. Although I suppose I might go IoT LTSC.

Money IS the ideology.

In this instance Cloudflare is being targeted by the anti piracy people so they’re a temporary ally.

lol

Ah yeah I don’t know anyone with under 8 which is why I’m trying to keep the 6 cores represented while I’m still using it. Keep the averages low so devs don’t start optimizing everything for 12 or more cores lol

Surely the average user has 3 SSDs too

I was on my Windows disk temporarily and still accepted. Felt bad afterwards, but also I wanted game devs to know there are still people using 6 core CPUs lol

In the past I’ve counted for both Linux and Mac OS though. I’m chaotic

Unless of course you’re self-employed so suddenly you have to start dual booting. Linux for gaming and work, Windows for windows-specific work lol

Man, if only this was happening in a country with armed citizens, they could maybe do something about it.
