Stadia was great for what it was. As a hardcore PC gamer who went more casual it was the answer to my gaming needs. Being able to play anywhere on any device was amazing.

They refunded all my purchases and I got to keep a bunch of free hardware I had gotten with Stadia bundles.

A large fry is almost $5 now where I live. It is probably .10 of potatoes .15 of oil and .30 of labor. The mark up is incredible.

You mean if I play EA games I will be supporting a murderous regime that engaged in the largest terrorist attack on US soil resulting in the massive loss of our rights?

Oh darn, I guess I won’t be missing much.

Yes, it is over. The selection is shit, they pull shows that they have the rights to to manipulate people into watching what they want. The value of services like Netflix being a one stop shop for content are long gone. Enshitification in the name of control has reared its ugly head and the value is gone.

Probably was sealed in a hot water bath instead of using a pressure cooker.

Right to repair is not about demanding unlimited software support it is saying we want access to the API so we can do our own support if we choose to.

It is about designing products that can be repairable and providing the means to do so. Regulations will be required to do this because a big part relies on standardization of parts.

This is because we can’t expect manufacturers to continuously supply parts. That is unrealistic. On the other hand, if you require standardized parts then it becomes repairable without the burden on the manufacturer.

I see your point. I would like to add that you probably can’t ever have fast or cheap without negative externalities. I think this is the missing part of the equation that perverts these systems and produces the garbage results we have to deal with like ewaste.

Unregulated capitalism seems to thrive by externalizing as many costs as possible. So we end up with a systems that ignores the environmental and social costs.

No, this requires regulations to prevent massive amounts of Ewaste. Consumers can’t change this behavior.

Like right to repair or privacy. We need real regulations. Corporations are too big and powerful and even something like choice has been turned into choosing which shitty corp you want to buy from.

There need to be strong regulations to prevent this sort of Ewaste. As long as companies can get away with this they will.

And no, voting with your pocket book isn’t going to change their behavior.

The current political climate is really stupid making people unsure about what to do.

FTFY

Corruption with a capital C.

I liked it up until they started allowing paywall websites.

That makes sense. Thanks.

Two things, I was under the impression that Azure can emulate a lot of different Linux distro. Second, I thought the hypervisor ran on cut down version of Windows server.

Emulation should always be Linux emulating Windows. Windows emulating Linux is just weird.

Reddit died just like Digg when they sold out. What a waste.

10 years using the restroom all by themselves. Very impressive!

Ah yes the anti anti sexist in the wild. Look how it twists the words and jumps to bizarre conclusions.

Set yourself free and just admit you have a problem with women instead of just some women you want to pretend to disagree with.

I don’t really disagree, it is just I hope for something better than the train wreck of hate and destruction we face.

Integration would be the best way to solve the wound on humanity that has been created. I fear we have no hope if this cannot be solved peacefully. Having two societies raised to hate each other is sickening to say the least.
