  • Openreach may be bigger, but their network is old and shit to large areas of the country. Virgin are far ahead in that regard.

  • Non consentual gambling should be completely banned. Any games that have gambling should have the same scary labelling which cigarettes have in Europe.

    Advertising and streaming games with gambling should also be illegal given how addictive and damaging it is.

  • I don't pay specifically for YouTube with no ads, that's just a nice bonus, the primary reason is YouTube Music which is amazing.

  • Why don't they just actually give their actual reason: to spy on UK citizens.

    To use children and criminals as a scapegoat for this attrocity is disgusting.

  • I'm sure if it was a $2.5bn fine, they'd be much more careful about customer privacy going forwards...

  • Ads have already been proven to be an extremely ineffective marketing strategy; now Google wants to force them down our throats even more? Fuck off

  • Fair enough! I got offered a job at Nintendo once, probably should've taken it in retrospect :(

  • Lemmy is the new old Reddit, Reddit is the new new Twitter.

  • $112k/yr is a crazy amount of money; I also work in IT in a pretty high up position, I wish I even made half that...

  • Call me a filthy casual or whatever, but I use Windows, Linux and macOS equally. My preference is Linux but I don't limit myself by just pretending the other two options don't exist :)

  • In reality, if you're a mid or large sized business, it won't make any difference. My company continues to pay for RHEL for the piece of mind of knowing we get support (even though we never use it!)

    I can totally see enthusiasts and small businesses going with cheaper options (aka free!)

  • This is why you should never adopt Google services, there's a high chance they will kill it off given their awful track record.

  • Imagine being so materialistic that you reject friends based on what brand phone they use. I wouldn't piss on someone like that if they were on fire.

  • IMO Steam OS is the "Windows" for handhelds. Sure there will be lots of variants of Linux with custom skins (hell even Windows itself). However, I think Steam OS has already established itself as a comfortable default for most people due to how optimized the UI is for handhelds and the fact it works out of the box for most PC games without any tinkering 🙂

  • Backwards Compatibility. I want this so much so that if the Switch 2 isn't backwards compatible, I'm very unlikely to buy one.
