Hopefully it costs them dearly. Kinda like the whole Tumblr censorship fiasco and drastic fall in value but before they sell it. Put #FuckSpez in the poor house
Because I was generally enjoying Reddit before being forced out by the API crap. I’m a creature of habit so tend to dislike change and as much as I’m generally liking Lemmy, I’m having to force myself to not check the app every time I get bored because I’ll just see the same posts 20 times in a day thanks to the relatively low level of interaction on the platform currently. Whenever I go looking for tech support online, it’s nearly always a reddit post from 2-8 years ago that has the answer but I don’t want to spend any amount of time on the site, particularly if I’m on my phone at the time since it means doing that annoying step of having to manually change “www” to “old” to make the site functional and readable. I guess I’m just feeling vengeful at yet another good (or some approximation of) thing ruined by yet another money-grubbing, power-hungry, self-important tosser.
Though I see what you’re saying… ish. I think at this point, we aren’t going to see a massive influx of users without the death of competing platforms like Reddit since there are enough people either happy to keep taking the punches or think sunshine shines out of Spez’s asshole. Frankly, we can do without the second kind of person but the first won’t do anything without a certain amount of persuasion and I reckon the sinking of the ol’ Reddit ship would be just enough of a toe-capped-boot up the nether regions to persuade.
Problem isn’t just on Linux’s side for a change. Louis Rossmann did a video on Netflix’s bullshit some weeks ago. Seems it’s far from uncommon to not get what you’re paying for with those shitbags
It’s nice that he’s being honest about the bullshittery but all the same he can shove it. Glad I haven’t bought a Ubi game in years and it doesn’t look like that’s going to be changing any time soon.
Sadly this “own nothing and be happy” world only exists for those who don’t make hundreds of thousands for the great gift of destroying the world for everybody else.
So, I downloaded Lego Jurassic World on mobile as an APK. On launching the game it displayed Chinese text. On translating the text, I found out that it was Chinese Age-verification. How do I bypass this. Or do I not bypass this at all and download another version
The image, which has since been removed, doesn’t give away too much. However. Warner Bros. is clearly alarmed by the leak. The movie studio has a history of cracking down on the unauthorized distribution of leaked material and this is no exception.
Not to mention the insane amount of exclusivity going on now and even the stupidity of certain features of the service not being available in certain areas. I stopped paying for Netflix when I got it from a rep that because I was living in a non-English-speaking country that I couldn’t have access to the English voice track of a show I wanted to watch.
Subscriptions are the next iteration of the console wars. They bank on exclusives instead of designing the best user experience and selling themselves on merit alone.
Okay, you’re not going to believe this, I was permanently banned from r/Piracy for no apparent reason! All I did was ask for help to acquire a free version of some softwares that could be useful....
Sorry to say this but the question reads a bit dense when you’re presently in a different pirating community from the one you’re complaining about but still asking where to ask. You know this isn’t reddit, right?
I will just advise that in that circumstance, you’ll likely end up replaying the whole game if you grab the DLC later. Both muscle-and-regular memories will have faded by that time that late-game will be challenging to come back to even jf you’ve spec’d to be OP at the time. Not saying there’s anything wrong with replaying, only making sure you know to expect to.
I played the game just after launch and did a modded replay in prep for Phantom Liberty but it took so long for some of the mods I now deem important to get updated that I ended up deciding to replay yet again.
Right, this I-can-do-no-wrong attitude is getting tiresome. You keep throwing this shit at me that I’m getting defensive but it’s more than obvious you’re deflecting. I couldn’t give less of a mild shit about your correction. The problem is the way you approach people, the way you twist events so that anyone disagreeing with what you’re saying systematically means they feel bad about themselves like they’re a lesser being. The problem is you.
Let me highlight the problem area: “But it looks exactly like an Arctic Fox”
Something doesn’t look “exactly like” something they’re unfamiliar with, yet you took it upon yourself to talk down to someone.
“Yeah man, my bad. Didn’t mean to sound judgemental.” I never said you were being judgmental at this point which means this was your own conclusion from a re-read of your comment after my response.
“it’s okay to not know stuff. Lack of knowledge does not make you stupid. However, getting defensive because someone knew something you didn’t, definitely does.” Then you rethought it. You chose to try throw the whole thing in my face and doubled down on the judgment with a hearty side dose of patronization and make it out to be just me who has misinterpreted your initial message to be judgmental despite having acknowledged it coming across as that way yourself.
If you had left that first sentence out of your initial message, I would have noticed my fuck up and simply responded “Oh shit, I screwed up my message. I know animals can be friendly. I’ll go fix my message. Thanks for pointing it out” and we’d both have gone on with our days. But you just had to start it by being a know-it-all dick. My mistake was a simple blunder which I have acknowledged but you just keep finding ways to manipulate this response thread to make me out as this toddler throwing a tantrum for having been wrong. It doesn’t get any simpler; the problem is you, not the correction, Y-O-U.
Now, I’m done spelling simple shit out to you. The userbase of Lemmy is still on the small side and I like to think that one day I’ll come across a comment from you that I’ll enjoy but one more of your manipulative attempts to twist my reaction and I’ll happily block your ass.
Well it’s a good thing my life isn’t made to serve an obtuse cunt like you then. You’ll just have to filled out your bored periods talking down to someone else. Have a nice day
I didn’t know the name of that breed but it’s what I was thinking of at first then there was just something that put me off that idea. Figured I’d better ask once I rewatched and noticed the cage
Frankly, the sentiment is mutual because your first message absolutely read as judgmental and my reasoning makes no difference to your initial attitude. You might notice this whole comment thread has been going on for multiple days and there might possibly be multiple reasons I didn’t know it was a fox to begin with. I realised what I was looking at once the first comment told me it was a fox. From there Slow didn’t need to fill me in any further but still did so I thanked them but misspoke because I happened to think it was a good idea to check Lemmy and hammered up a quick answer at a bad time because I knew I’d forget otherwise. I’ll now make sure to fix that for your pleasure. From there, there was zero reason to stick your nose in to sound bigger than someone else. Get this; even though I like animals, I don’t necessarily spend my time learning about all of them because they aren’t in my primary interests. I’ve heard of arctic foxes and when I did I looked up a single picture of one many years ago. Somewhere along the way the arctic fox and the silver fox - which doesn’t look as friendly as arctic foxes - have formed a weird amalgamation in my head. If I’d seen this fox in the right context I would have instantly known what it was but that wasn’t the case here.
The reason for my initial attitude was because your message read - and still does - as if you were implying I was dumb for not knowing something obvious to you and not because I felt dumb. At this point, your plethora of edits only reads as someone who’s realised they were being a prick, first had the instinct to set it right then just had to give in to your own hubris to once again try put me down. I know for a fact that I know things you don’t and vice versa. That’s life. I have better things to spend my time on that getting put down by someone who feels the need to flaunt their own understanding of something that doesn’t serve in everyday life. So I’m sorry that I asked in the pursuit of overcoming my ignorance, I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen in your presence again. Hopefully, I’ve now justified my own obliviousness to his highness. Have a nice day.
It simply didn’t occur that it could be. On first watch I didn’t notice the cage so I thought it had to be a breed of dog. Also, I’ve never seen an arctic fox. Is that okay?
I know what the meme is. The comment is supposed to be a satirical state on the reality that many people think they’re still buying something when they pay Steam, PSN or what have you.
