The reason I left Twitch was because the fucking ads were unbearable. I've even taken a screenshot to show people that I wasn't lying when I said I saw that Twitch expected me to sit there and listen to and watch 8 fucking ads. Ads to shit I don't care about other than think of violent thoughts in what I'd love to do to marketers and find a way to advertise that so they get a god damn clue.

In a perfect world, maybe A ad wouldn't be so bad. But this has gotten out of hand and out of control. We shouldn't ever have to sit and watch a string of ads, all varying from 20 seconds to an entire minute and even longer.

And good, I hope YouTube is stupid as fuck enough to be aggressive. Drive more creators out, even hit the successes of the YouTube whores who've long lived on the platform. Because all that they're going to do is affect everyone at the end of the day, all for the sake of profiting for marketers.

No. Bad.

The ace in the hole though is that while Steam is effectively cutting down what Windows OSes it decides it'll continue supporting, people will want an alternative to go to instead of feeling cornered with Windows 10 and 11. Because that's all that they have right now for gaming, with Linux being optional, but gamers can be awfully picky about what they want to run.

I started to care about it until I learned and discovered that we aren't dealing with recyclables as well as we should. We've been hampering people for decades to recycle, recycle and recycle. Some good have came from recycling, it has. But damn, we're not really doing enough as people think and it's a damn shame that truth is just shelved so we can keep lying to people about recycling.

I as an individual, realize I can only do so much, but I feel it is still in the responsibility and accountability of big corps and other companies that need to really step up more since they're bigger than me. I just think it's irresponsible of them to have it fall on the shoulders of average joe to clean everything up, when BP barely lifts a finger to fix it's own shit. How is it entirely my fault about how bad climate change has getting?

So you know what, I'll still take some of my own responsibility, yet until I see these corps and companies work double time to fulfill their end of the table, I'm just going to be a little lax on it.

I'm pretty positive by this point that people love to bitch about ads for the sake of bitching about ads. They bring this onto themselves.

Same goes for them going onto sites without ad blockers. Then when you tell them, it's either "OHHH THANKS!" or "Uhhhh, I cAn't" for no reason.

Not for me, I'm a Crunchbang user.

No >:U

I was a frequent Kbin.social user and I miss it. But also, you have to move on when the end is reached for the foreseeable future. One of the strengths of the Fediverse, is that you can make an account on something like MBin and still interact with Lemmy instances as if you were registered on Lemmy. Anything that makes me use one account and supports cross-platform is a major plus in my book.

Oh and uh maybe some of those running Lemmy, i.e mods, are kind of scummy so I don't want to be at their mercy if I was just registered to Lemmy.

We should've known this fact, when we still have those input prompt voice operators that still can't for the life of it, understand some of the shit we tell it. That's the direction I saw this whole AI thing going and had a hunch that it was going to plummet because the big new shiny tech isn't all that it was cracked up to be.

To call it 'ending' though is a stretch. No, it'll be improved in time and it'll come back when it's more efficient. We're only seeing the fundamental failures of expectancy vs reality in the current state. It's too early to truly call it.

I think the best motive now is to stop paying altogether.

I think what hurts my brain besides the babbling, is the lack of citations.

Are you just trying to sound smart and in-the-know? Bruh, sources matter for such bold claims.

And another in the Google Graveyard!

Oh man, I'd hate to be the dude twiddling his thumbs on Ad 2 of 8 on Twitch.

"Dum de dum dum, wonder what the streamer is currently up to. Oh well, another 45 seconds to go. Dum de dum dum"

My phone is a billboard. My TV is a billboard. My PC is sometimes a billboard.

Like, what hasn't advertisement infected?

I think it's about time we just harass marketers back, but not with advertisements, but with other means. Enough so they get the message.

I don't think you're lazy if one tiny inconvenience was enough for you to overhaul your system to get a different OS.

You know, I can think of more reasons to jump to a different OS than just a brief bit of stuttering. But you do you.

Damn he's not aging well, lol. All of that grump and tough-guy act, not to mention the stress where he's been making the court his second home if not already a home.

My reply was an hour ago, their update was at the time, 57 minutes ago. That meant, I posted first before they gave an update. I don't get why you've got to be so hostile about this but if you actually put your remaining braincells together and thought of this, connect the dots, it kind of makes sense.

I commented before the update and that's where I'm going to leave it at that. Oh and enjoy your block, too.

I'm going to have to slightly disagree with you here. Yes I know, I'm disagreeing with someone who actually works with the company. Based on pirate experience that I've noted over the years on Reddit's piracy subreddit, what I've read on TorrentFreak for the first 9 or so years I've been reading it off and on and vice versa. Spectrum falls under the category of an ISP to be wary of.

I was going to say that Time Warner also owned them, however, it's actually the opposite. And now I'm knowing that Time Warner Cable isn't really much of a thing anymore. But before it's demise, pirates had been wary of it's existence because of Time Warner's relentlessness of targeting piracy.

I'm going to guess that maybe the reason you're saying all of these warnings is probably because there having been that shift in control. But I do recall that Charter/TW was not to be trifled with.

I'd make it a TV series. If it's doing well for Fallout, it shouldn't be hard for Borderlands to be a show. Because with something as big as Borderlands, it's not a good idea to compact all of that into one entire film. It's got to be a chain of events in an episodic format.

You've got no choice BUT to go to the police.

Like what else is there? Confront the individual directly and play a Clue-like game with them? If you have the evidence and know who it is, they need to be dealt with legally.
