My $300 Brother laser printer that does everything works just fine because it wasn’t designed to be a money-siphoning piece of shit.

Family plan split three ways comes out to about $7 a person per month, if I’m remembering right.

To be honest, Google is poor enough these days that I just use Bing for the Microsoft Rewards points.

T-Mobile

So it’s useless if I go on a road trip?

Depends on what the public wants. Apple kills backwards compatibility every couple of decades and they have an even more minute gaming presence than Linux does. Like, , their most popular title, even as a company deathly afraid of the Windows monopoly.

You could make arguments for consoles and such, but that doesn’t solve the problem of Macs being particularly costly.

I don’t understand how people hang out in these places. It just doesn’t seem like a system conducive to discussion. The forum/link aggregator format works much better imo

I actually use Bing so that I get Microsoft Rewards points, meaning I gain money by not using Google.

But I understand privacy homies going DuckDuckGo or something else.

I mean, not really. They had it working out great for years.

Then they killed the API.

It’s an eight year old smartwatch. I feel like most of the target audience already has a newer model.

Look man, I’m super tech-savvy and I straight-up almost never made it over here from reddit because the explanation of it that someone was giving just sounded shitty and convoluted. Now think about how much effort someone who uses Gmail as a substitute for knowing how email works is willing to put in.

No they can’t. We all found out during the Quest 2 era that their elite straps are fragile and prone to snapping. 100% of the advice in the community is to buy third-party.

Because after a $3.49 payment, I never see ads again and this app is noticeably better than the Lemmy apps I’ve been stuck with until now.

I believe the originals are restored now

Nope. They temporarily made it so that buying Definitive Edition on the Rockstar Launcher granted the originals until outrage died down, but the original versions of the games still require either a disc or piracy now that they seemingly removed even that. I can confirm that the PS4 versions of the games that were the PS2 versions in an emulator are still missing, too.

Because Chrome just stopped working on my PC one day like a decade ago.

Just checked and it worked fine so

For most people, they already have these account services and won’t really care about this.

For everyone else, they should probably already have an alternate instance anyway.

Sounds like good moderation to me. Terrible title that implies an opinion is wrong and that OP was never interested in discussion at all. Talking at people isn’t talking to people.

In the U.S. circa 2016, so many kids were just finding pirate streaming sites for movies and such during class on school computers. I imagine it’s similar elsewhere for students who’ve finished their work and are bored, but boy, now they have the knowledge of how to get countless other types of media for free.

Piracy is a service problem. The goal shouldn’t be to indoctrinate our youth to avoid it, it should be to stop releasing subpar, overpriced products.

This is the U.S., we quite literally can’t uphold values to save our lives. Hollywood studios aren’t going to pause shit.

Snitches get stitches. Let’s not revert to the Nazi Germany “sell out your neighbor” bullshit.
