He didn’t already have a trademark? I’m surprised.

Anyway, here comes a flood of ragebait about how Geoff is trying to own the concept of award shows

Yeah, mastodon simply doesn’t have an advertising budget, and having to pick an instance, while trivial, is still enough to stop a lot of people from joining.

Genuinely the single worst messaging app I’ve ever used. Worse than Skype, which is crazy because Microsoft owns that too.

Depends on your goal. If you genuinely think you can change their mind then… Maybe. Otherwise, why not stick up for trans & intersex folks?

Didn’t say they were. But the pixel 9 undeniably looks more like an iPhone than previous pixels.

Frankly, I haven’t seen anything I would call innovation from any manufacturer in the smartphone industry in years. Just the occasional parlor trick. The industry is continuing its slow crawl towards more and more similar devices.

And I’m writing this from a pixel 8, for whatever that’s worth.

I see copying Apple’s homework continues to be a lucrative, if boring and dystopian, strategy for phone manufacturers

If you’re a racist it’s occasionally useful to throw another, more obvious racist under the bus to build up your own cover.

Fuck both these people.

I think Microsoft tried that, actually

The reason they don’t want you using your own WiFi access point is probably because dorms are prone to over congestion if everyone sets up their own WiFi network.

If you wanted to fuck with them-and you don’t mind spending money-then you could set up your WiFi and get internet via mobile carrier or starlink, so that you never actually have to agree to their terms. Then when/if someone comes around to bitch at you you can watch them slowly come to the conclusion that they’ve got nothing on you.

Otherwise your options are to follow the rules to the letter and live without vr streaming, or accept that you might get in trouble. Some WiFi routers can be configured to not advertise their network; annoying because you’ll have to manually enter the network information on every device, but it might keep you from getting caught.

As for connecting multiple devices without paying; there’s probably some creative ways to tunnel all your traffic through a single device to get around that. Could still get you in trouble if you’re caught.

If you’re doing anything that could get you in trouble with the school make sure you save the email in which they told you using your own router is allowed.

Can’t say I love Annapurna, but at least control 2 will be on steam. Hopefully from day 1.

admin wouldn’t even work. It’s too short.

I had a coca cola hat that I used to wear. I gave up on it after the third person said they thought it was a MAGA hat at a distance.

Presumably he’s trying to rile up demonstrations at polling places themselves.

Already run it on my laptop, and used to dual boot. I’m just trying let proton mature as much as possible before migrating my desktop for good.

Well, I was gonna run win10 until its service life ends next year. I guess MS want to speed up the timeline a little.

Arch here I come.

PlayStation what? Did they announce this thing at the last state of play?

I always watch those, but I’m pretty sure I’ve never heard of this…

And their customers are unhappy with the catastrophic service failure. Cry me a river.

I’ll stop using YouTube altogether before I disable my ad blocker. My time is simply more valuable than whatever video I’m watching.

This is really cool. I do wonder how often “third-party rights or security concerns” will be deemed to apply, though.

I mean, there is always the option of putting down YouTube and going outside, or picking up a hobby or something.

Gross, I know, having to live in the stone ages, but there’s always another option.
