There are no requirements under SKG to force them to run games forever just FYI. Their wording is soft on purpose. It could mean running a server still sure, or releasing a dedicated server client, or even releasing the source code so independent developers and open source folks can figure out how to run them themselves.

Good. John Deere represents the worst in right to repair. Phones and laptops are bad, but John Deere is the worst. A near monopoly contractors that coat well into the 6 digits, with locked down softwarethat is required, and limits on repairs and replacement parks that go and their printer cartridges drool over. Apple and its glued batteries are nothing compared to the required certified John Deere replacement parts.

I’ll gladly accept the 99mil, and also hope they get hit with more.

Weirdly a non article, thought he’d give his own story.

Anyone who has worked a corporate gig is completely unsurprised though. Squeaky wheels and all.

Gotta love the artificial obsolescence here. Kindles require basically nothing to run. They don’t need heavy processors or ram. EBook formats haven’t changed. Its purely “its time you spend more money with us”.

Yeah regulations is why. Couldn’t possibly be because they’re out of money

oh man watch out, you might be posted about here on mildlyinfuriating

Christ, you’re offended by me saying it was a joke that no one got hurt by? The most you were inconvenienced was hitting delete, and that offended you? That’s your bar for offense there. One joke ad hitting your inbox one time offended you. This is why we’re made fun of, this right here, why people say we can’t joke anymore and this gives them credibility in that statement. There will always be someone who cannot simply move on. It always has to be a big thing that personally offended you. It’s MildlyInfuriating, not I’m offended by a soda can.

The joke I’m pretty sure was “Wouldn’t it be weird if we had ads here”, it’s cool man, no one got hurt, it was a joke. If it happens tomorrow I’ll be upset.

Yeah not in the best taste, but everything today should be taken with a grain of salt

Its always been a disaster.

Now it’s simply more of a disaster!

oh no did your free investor money run out?

Replaying mass effect right now and feel this. You go to the boarding dock area and here mechanical buzzing and whirring with a distinct wheeeeee womp… Womp… Womp…

Gives you vibes man

I totally agree, but hopefully with some advocacy we can get it from 99 to 98%. Doesn’t sound like much, but that’s 2 million people who have switched then, and whoever else may live in their house using their non-routers.

Routers are incredibly simple. You can run your own using openwrt or opnsense. Then some dumb switches and access points and you’re good to go.

This how stupid is the best advice. Setting up my instance was easy. Learning how liable I was for what others put there was something completely different.

That’s why whenever I see another 2 day account looking for “free speech” and “no moderation” my answer is always “sure, you go host it then!” I’m not going to jail because you want to say horrible shit.

Definition of an abusive relationship. Treated you bad for years but they do one small nice thing and they want endless praise. They’re just going to go back to hurting you tomorrow

Yah I’ve heard enough “commitments” from corporations to know that it’s written on toilet paper. Let me know when they actually change things, until then it’s empty words

Better than Google.

I switched over to the fairphone which is degoogled android, and it’s been honestly great. Linux phone has a way to go, mostly needing to be able to run android apps I think, but /e/OS is a good bridge

Shocked. Absolutely shocked. Don’t you see how shocked I am?

So what you didn’t want to read the rest of that and just jumped to insulting me? I’ll never be ashamed of learning new information and adjusting my views.
