I mean. 95% of people uses, likes and tolerates shit I don’t tolerate. I don’t use said shit. My life has been shockingly fine that way.

A site that does this is a site I’ll never visit.

Oh.

I guess both actions have ups and downs.

To me, calling it Twitter reminds me of the shitty shit Twitter has ever been. I never liked the thing. I vividly remember when BBC started quoting random tweets - it made me a little sick. Then all news outlets followed suit.

And if Elon hates it that people call it Twitter, then even better!

I’m not talking about elections.

Alternative pronunciation: Shittier.

But that’s what Elon wants, and fuck that guy.

Twitter or Xitter for me. Maaaaybe X (formerly known as Twitter), but never X alone.

Especially because it’s a fucking confusing name in a tech space. I swear I thought the headline referred to X Window at first.

This is why the right makes fun of the left.

Though I just hope you were joking.

lol!

Overused comment that has almost nothing to do with the point.

Oh, got it! Yup. In that context, that was quite the inaccurate sentence.

What do you mean by this? Genuinely curious…

that just hurls meteor filled bugs randomly

I think you meant to say “bugs filled meteors”?

Oh sure, sure. My point is that Google asked for the same thing as MS, and I mindlessly gave it to them.

I’ll look into degoogling at some point.

Why do you care what other co-workers see on your work laptop? It doesn’t belong to you.

…aaaand I will never switch to Windows 11.

But then, I’m a hypocrite, because I have to create an account to use Android.

Which he did. His statement is the license.

Plus free software doesn’t strictly mean that the author doesn’t get paid for their work.

Nobody said you shouldn’t pay artists.

The parent poster was simply replying to the ridiculous car analogy. He even addressed part of your argument.

You must be a troll. Good joke.

You’re both right.

So I’ll talk about a totally different point:

The day the MPAA and the RIAA sued fans for tens of thousands of dollars for pirating content that was still generating millions, is the day I said I would never, ever, pay for their content again, and pirate it guilty-free.

Edit: I also read the actual tweet. I think the author was responding to an “aha, gotcha!” moment. Someone posted a screenshot of them pirating his game with the caption “I love pirating indie games.” It almost feels like a troll post. And the dev didn’t bite the bait. He was like “eh, you do you. Devs gotta eat, sure, but you know what, culture should be accessible too.”

Your argument is weak.

1. Ultrakill made the game to make money. Releasing a game “for free” for all makes no business sense.

2. Plenty of publishers do release games for free. Though they hope sell players’ data, or ads or add-ons.

3. This dev is just one dev. Everyone else is free to do whatever they want.

So, there.

It’s pretty easy for him to have a chill attitude and say it’s okay to pirate his game after making nearly $100 million on it.

This is true. I don’t see a problem with that. Give me $100 million dollars. It will be pretty easy for me to do neat stuff that doesn’t necessarily bring me profits.

Edit: Downvoted by corporate suits. On Lemmy of all places.

I didn’t downvote you, but you pretty much are repeating what OP said.

“I won’t play this game!”

“Well, nobody is forcing you.”

Yep, that’s pretty much the same thing.

Why?

(Genuine question.)

I don’t understand why people put up with this with a freaking game. I will never pay money to companies that do this stuff. There are literally tens of thousands of games available right now that are perfectly enjoyable.

I’ll give the parent poster the benefit of the doubt and say that it’s a satirical user account. It’s called spez_, named after the reddit CEO, I’m guessing.

Thanks. I will consider them.

Oh, that sounds fantastic!

Then why are you commenting on this “irrelevant” sub-thread?

No, no. We want 3.5mm jacks for wired earphones. Whether there is a fairphone version of wired earphones or not is irrelevant.

Mine also get quite buried, like earplugs. And they’re still comfortable.

And damn, yours must be really nice at that price!

Fair enough. I’ve updated my original answer.

It’s not “privilege” that you get to keep using lead paint in your house, when you can do the same thing without the drawbacks or the lead.

What a weak ass analogy. A mini-jack doesn’t harm anybody.

I don’t own one. I had to buy one without a phone jack out of necessity (needed a phone right that second), but that’s what I’ve been hearing. You need a dongle to connect your wired earbuds, and while you’re using the dongle, you can’t charge your phone.

Has this changed?

I’m a fan of open source, but c’mon. There are reasons not yet to open source a product.

With wireless headphones you can also charge your phone and listen at the same time

Yes, but that’s not the point. The point is that if I want to use wired headphones, I can’t charge my phone. Something I was able to do before, and now it’s a “privilege” for wireless users. It’s bullshit.

That’s a strawman and you know it. OP basically said that we want 3.5mm jacks.

I’ve used passive noise isolation earbuds that work better than any ANC. This one time I took them off after a long flight, only to realize that a toddler was crying behind me.

Edit: lol at the downvotes! https://maxrockearbuds.com/

We’re allowed to want both.

You’re being downvoted, but yours is a legitimate request.
