Exactly why I use browser and not apps, too. and if they try to strongarm me with better prices or degraded services, I just stop using them all together.

how is everyone remembering their ICQ number?

I forgot mine 5 minutes after adding it to Trillian.

Like I said, its intentional. Nothing to fix because its doing exactly what they want. Cause they want you to install the app, which they have much greater control over and ability to harvest from.

its cause of the stupid way mega downloads file to your ram, and only when its fully downloaded does it get moved to the drive or something along those lines, its been a while since i’ve looked into it.

Its megas limitation by intentionally doing shit a stupid way then blaming the browser for it.

How can you use the internet then? The internet is like a mirror, you have to have a soul to use it.

whose soul do you have and how did you steal it from them?!

Excellent write up. I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

What is this lie-nucks you speak of?

I miss those early days.

Computers were weird magic boxes with all kinds of zany and crazy shit you could put in them.

Games were just graphically impressive enough to lose yourself in, while not needing a super computer to run them.

The internet was a curiousity for nerds and not a corprotized information hoover adpocalypse hellscape for the exploitation of the masses.

then i guess the studios should stop enshitifying streaming and make a service thats affordable and worth using, huh?

The entire system exists for the benefit of business, not customers.

Just look at what happens with accused theft in a store. You get accused of theft? Cops are there in no time, take you to the ground, throw you in the back of the cop car. only after they’ve gotten the humiliation and brutalization in might someone come and take your proof that you didnt steal anything.

You accuse the store of stealing from you? Due to not following their own policy on returns, or overcharging and an item and not fixing it Police won’t even show. just tell you its a civil matter and to suck it up.

I dont subscribe to any streaming service (except the occasional free prime trial, to be full disclosure), not even the one in the news story… but I can still answer your question…

Because I want to pay a single service to watch everything. Like Netflix used to be. Watch everything I want, for one monthly price that was reasonable.

But its not like that anymore. Every company looked at how well Netflix used to do, went “Fuck them! I want all that money for my self!” and took their content off Netflix, and made their own streaming services.

Now if you want to consume any media, You have to subscribe to 50 different subscription services, for hundreds of dollars a month, Which is just Cable 2.0 but with worse service and options.

It harmed no one and nothing.

TV and Film are just angry that competition did it for a reasonable price and provided a superior service for it.

someone alert the FAA, we got a low flying woosh here.

Is it immoral to harm them? Yes, its bad to harm anyone.

Do I give the slightest fuck about them being victims? Hell no.

Why?

Because, to be short about it, my give a fuck is reserved for innocent people. Not for hateful bigots, terrorists, and enemies of the state who want to overthrow our democratic way of life in favor of having a rotten jackolantern as a mentally declining god emperor.

Watching them get fucked in the way they’ve tried to fuck everyone else give me the same delight as watching gas station robbers be met with a shotgun from the clerk and earn an emergency trip to the surgical suite via the ER.

I dont wish it on them, but I will take delight in it.

So what you’re saying is the evil goddamn liberal left wing psyop campaign of communism is trying to keep him off our freedom ballots? /s

Why doesn’t police/TSA etc. profile Maga instead of people of colour?

Cause MAGA and Police are generally one in the same. Attend the same rallies, wear the same swastikas and white hoods.

Going after the reporters is classic facebook tactics.

Remember when they were presented with proof of rampant CSM trading on facebook, they called the police and reported the reporter as a pedophile? All to try and shut down the coverage?

But couldnt be bother to report any of their CSM trading groups or users to the police?

I’m expecting you to back up your claims. You know, like a normal person does when they do such.

You spent more time bitching and moaning about having to back up your claims, and finding nebulous links and basically screaming “DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH” than you would have spent providing verifiable proof of them… If you had the proof you were claiming you had to back up your statement.

So you have no problem with effort. You just have a problem with telling the truth and arguing in good faith, which fits well with your use of right wing tactics.

Lemmy should tell you the text of what was deleted and the mod who deleted it, cause there was nothing uncivil about what I said.
