The only thing I disagree with here is Win8 being apparently better than Win10.
Win8 was really damn annoying to use without a touchscreen, and while Win8.1 did help, Win10 was by far the better implementation of PC Metro IMO.
Having said that, Win11 is exactly where it needs to be. It’s all of Win10’s worst traits cranked up to 11 with a heaping of it’s own bullshit and spyware on top
Instead of focusing on external threats and concerns, legal streaming platforms themselves could make the most progress by changing their pricing.
Among all self-proclaimed Norwegian pirates, the most common reasons to stop were more affordable legal streaming services (41%) and the availability of a broader range of content per service (35%).
It’s almost like people don’t like paying more and more for streaming services with less and less shows on them, when the pirates will offer you everything in one much smaller subscription (if not for free).
Exactly. Why do the hard job of actually safeguarding the kids when you can just use them as an excuse to grab onto more unnecessary powers?
It’s like as though the Government is incapable of coming up with solutions to online problems that don’t involve immediately invading people’s privacy.
I’d say next thing is they’ll be trying to ban encryption, but they’ve literally already started on that one.
Well if we use JD Vance’s Razor, it checks out to me.
You wouldn’t post it if weren’t true, right @obscur_e@lemm.ee
Oh boy, here we go again…
Will the Government succeed in their age ban, or will they learn (once again) that they’re just not that effective.
You tell kids, especially teens, that they can’t use social media, they’re gonna want to use it more - and they will bypass any restrictions you put in their way.
Similar to what I said about Australia, it’s like how CoD is meant to be 18+ yet somehow still full of prepubescent squeakers who all apparently fucked your mother last night and have Dads who work for Xbox.
It would be far better to engage parents/schools in educating kids on how to more responsibly use social media and to critically analyse information - or alternatively force social media companies to implement better safeguards for kids who do end up on there, rather than play an endless and desperate cat and mouse race against them.
Well fair and square might be cutting Trump too fair a deal. He talked big about election rigging right before the vote - and one of the core tenants of the GOP is projection, so I don’t doubt he was up to some scummy shit same as last time.
Honestly. I’d be fine with a touchscreen for things you wouldn’t likely be adjusting on the go anyways - but basic stuff like the radio and AC/Fans should always be easy to distinguish, don’t need to look away from the road to operate buttons. Making basic stuff require touchscreen is inconvenient at best and outright dangerous at worst.
I hate to side with big tech, but they’re not wrong… DNS poisoning is ineffective when pirate sites can just change domains, and users can just change DNS provider or use a VPN. It’s a cat and mouse race that’ll be ultimately impossible to win
