Please do. Keep making headlines for self-destruction.

I feel like we’re at the age of the internet where a strong minority (see: Lemmy users) care deeply about all the ugly exploitative and anti-consumer nature of big tech, but the vast majority of the population just… doesn’t care… and shrugs off (and enables) the continual downward spiral.

If this is anything like the flag to bring back the old Chrome downloads bar (I miss you), then enjoy it while you can.

I’ve found Google alternatives great for things that are… filtered (copyright etc), but honestly no matter what search engine I use, I swear none just give you the results for your query anymore. I’ve still been finding the Bing-based ones horrible quality for relevancy and defaulting to Google.

The thing that makes me most sad is that the old Twitter is genuinely why I have the career and connections I do today. Now I can’t even stand opening the site.

I didn’t read a single thing beyond the title but… yeah that checks out

I want no part to do with them after they got all the Google domains—they’re not a company I would have willingly supported before, so I’m not about to now that I’ve been forced into it.

Next thing you know

I love how the words they chose to bold were VOTING and BIDEN for their message.

Oh you thought that was for damage prevention? No it’s actually to make sure it gets wet. I heard the Cybertruck’s trunk department QC’d it.

Currently chomping on my emergency pizza… almost lasted a week in the freezer.

PlayStation exclusive items or something incoming then. Very cool Sony thanks for retreating.

I thought this meant on top of Premium and I was about to be pissed.

But honestly, Spotify is one of the only companies where I don’t feel like my experience has gotten noticeably worse over my time using it.

Do you think I can just pull up to a kidnapping not prepped with the right music? I’d get kidnapped too.

I just read the best book, you should check it out. Credit to the author of it.

I don’t run Adblock because I hate brands, I use it because the internet is more invasive by the day.

If one day I go to put on my shirt and another company sewed their logo over the neck hole, well then we’ll have a similar issue.

I for one am quite confident it’s not me.

The only absolute with these devices is that you don’t get what you pay for. Inevitably it will completely change without your consent, and generally it will deliberately be for a worse experience since you’re captive.

I am so sick of the new age of zero ownership or protections. Instead of greedy companies losing customers, other companies just see it like “oh shit we can do that too?” and consumers are the only ones losing.

That’s the hilarious(ly depressing) thing about buying a digital movie, for example, to me.

If you rent it, you get it for a certain amount of time.

If you ‘buy’ it, you also rent it, just for an undisclosed amount of time that they may or may not retroactively take away from you at any point with no warning or compensation.
