Riiiight. And, pray tell Adobe, why in the everloving fuck woul you ever need to "review" private content that's not posted anywhere? Stop acting like you're the goddamned pre-crime agency from Minority Report and keep your dirty paws off stuff people are creating privately.
You are providing tools, and that's it. I can do horrible, illegal shit with my drill, but it doesn't give Black&Decker any right to break into my house to do random checks and see if I'm drilling through kneecaps instead of wooden planks...
Eating out of stress or boredom instead of when I'm actually hungry.
I am getting better, but still, sometimes work pisses me off so much it's back to angrily stuffing whatever food I have on hand into my gaping maw...
Right? So much better it's not even funny. It was recommended to me here on Lemmy a while ago, and I couldn't be happier. Sometimes instances get clogged or go down, but it still beats any other search I tried by a mile.
SearXNG - it's a meta-engine that serves results from a combination of other ones (you can set up which ones you want to use). I like it a lot. Here's a list of public instances: https://searx.space/
Do shareholders mix with anything? Fucking up the environment? Makes shareholders happy. Mass layoffs? Makes shareholders happy. War, cancer sticks, genocide, addictive drugs? As long as the line goes up shareholders are happy...
To jail, for the rest of his life, yes. Not that I'm holding my breath for it though - the international community has demonstrated time and again that genocide is compmetely fine, as long as it's happening far away and not to "our people".
I got it on Game Pass and wanted to give it a try, but when I sat down on the couch, controller in hand, and tried to run it, it asked me to take my phone out and scan a code to create yet another worthless account somewhere. It wouldn't allow me to even start the game otherwise.
It made me actually say "are you fucking kidding me!?" out loud and uninstall immediately. Screw that - I will not eat at a restaurant that makes me scan a code to see the menu, and I will definitely not play a game that does it either...
Rant over, but that experience annoyed me so much that no update or improvement will make me want to install it again.
Same! It was actually a pretty big surprise that Mint worked flawlessly out of the box on my crappy pre-built PC. Everything's working great including the printer! I'm seriously impressed.
Meanwhile, FIFA players: "when can I pre-order the next edition of my game, and could I just pay for the cards in advance, or do I have to wait until release?"
Sadly, bamboozling players, dark patterns and nickle-and-diming work, and work VERY well at that - if they didn't, people would stop doing it a long time ago...
Not even lose - still get heaps of money, but slightly smaller heaps, which is of course a huge blow to the economy rich fucks, and as such is completely unacceptable.
Microsoft, probably: "StartAllBack? Nope, ya little twit, you will use our start menu AND YOU WILL LIKE IT! No installing any of that crap on your our computer!"
Every time someone says "economy" I change it to "rich fucks" in my head and it works amazingly well. Lower prices are bad for the economy rich fucks. The economy is rich fucks are really strong right now. Inflation bolsters the economy rich fucks, this move would destroy the economy rich fucks...
I need a bit of dark humor like that in my life, so I don't feel too bad whenever I look at my bank statement...
