Thankfully there is a very simple, no-effort solution to this: Don't play their trash.

I already don't play their excruciatingly mediocre games and this just reinforces my avoidance is justified.

Also good gods they've been milking this tired franchise for almost 2 decades now.

Ah yes, those illegal migrants from Canada, the country that is notoriously difficult to enter. Must be heaps of those!

Hope Americans enjoy paying inflated prices for fuels, manufactured parts, beef, wheat, and grains because Canada is a large supplier of those to the US. Trade deals between Canada and the US are valued at around $1tril per year. I hope those that voted for Trump really feel like those increased prices make them feel like they're being put "first".

I have a 14 pro and thus still use Lightning, but I've had iffy USB-C connectors and plugs on various other devices. Potentially an upopular opinion, but I don't like USB-C much and find it doesn't have a very positive feeling connection. I've also had a couple USB-C plugs fail already.

He's actually doing his own thing for once instead of parroting whatever the US does. I'm impressed.

Prostagma?

Maybe because it's extremely expensive and also, you know, literally poison.

I have seen more than enough lives around me get ruined by alcohol that I have zero interest in ever taking a sip of it.

From a user perspective: A tablet that folds up to the size of a phone. Or a phone that flips to the size of a compact little square.

From a business perspective: A phone with an extremely fragile screen that will require frequent replacement and a hinge that has limited life, ensuring customer retention and re-purchasing.

I do keep a loose eye on them, especially flips as I like the idea of a phone that can fold up really small for tiny pockets. Their unfathomable prices and durability issues put me off, though. I have seen foldables that have been kept past the usual 2-year contract window and... oof. They do not age gracefully. For the $1,800-$3,200CAD asking price that is unacceptable. Does not help that the only foldables with major retail presence here are from Samsung and Samsung's customer service and warranty support here is atrocious.

Same. I'm still pissed that 2020 was left in the state it is in with tons of its own bugs and missing features that were promised. I remember talking to a friend and saying that MSFS2020 was a cool flight sim but still had the vibe of an early-access game at times... and then they drop an announcement for 2024.

Turns out that a massive Earth-scale game that requires streaming of gigabytes worth of data every play session for each user and has next to no local storage is a really awful idea.

X-plane 12 is looking better and better.

I always did find it amusing that they are called the United States when it seems like it's constantly teetering on brink of another civil war.

Google is an ad company so this is was a given.

I have to do a hard refresh every time I open Lemmy (any instance) to get logged back in. It started happening a few FIrefox updates ago.

"To have the audacity to say that they will and will not work with someone, I'm sorry, that is not his choice," Rustad said. "That is not something he has the authority to do."

Yes it is lmao. His party has a majority and does not have to work with you, you sore loser.

Also shame on Weaver and the others who are throwing shade on Eby for taking this stance. Conspiracy-laden fascist garbage like Rustad shouldn't ever be given a single morsel of cooperation or respect. I find it hard to believe that Weaver would have ever worked with the likes of Rustad, so him saying this just reeks of double standards.

People will, in a single breath, tell people to exercise their right to vote in democracy and also that voting for the person/party that best represents them is wrong if it's not a Big Party.

But think of the shareholders!!

Obviously. Trump wants a yes-man north of the border.

It was barely even alive for it to die in the first place 👀

I wouldn't use either as they both use google's browser engine. They're just two flavours of Chrome.

Depends on the company and where you live, I feel. Some has gotten worse, some has improved.

But they have all gotten more expensive. So goddamn expensive. These days I can order a well made, flame-grilled burger at a burger joint for the same price as fast food slop.

Average users do not even remotely care about federated software and/or decentralisation. That is techno-babble to them and their eyes will glaze over if you try to market that to them.

That being said: Mastodon does a shit job at explaining how it works, how to use it, and what its advantages are. The Joinmastodon landing page just assumes you already know how a fair bit about instances work and what federated software is and does a very poor job explaining it. And even then, most users won't care either way. They just want to click a Join button and be done.
