when was the last time you installed windows? Also, what version? If you’ve only ever had it set up for you, then you may have only used windows that had already been cleaned of all the bullshit. This includes pc s provided by your work.
For win10, the install iso provided by microsoft puts ads for games in the windows store in the default start menu. I have installed many win10 pc s over the years, and candy crush (among others) is always there.
The game isn’t out yet. The fuck are they talking about success for?
it’s yet another open world survival craftathon with fortnite building and a gimick. If you like the gimmick, then good for you, don’t let me tell you not to like the thing you like.
I’ve seen a number of these games come and go. Ark survival, raft, conan exiles, rust, and more that I’ve forgotten the names of. Obviously there’s a demand for a game like this, but none of them stand above the rest. If you ignore the aesthetic, then they’re all the same. Play one and you’ve played them all, and to me that’s boring.
Exactly. If there’s anything that we can point to and say “humanity, fuck yeah” this is it. Giving thanks to aliens or to gods is an insult to the hard work of the HUMANS that accomplished this.
… what the hell is a tankie?
(no, I haven’t been here long, how could you tell?)
Furthermore, why have I not heard this term anywhere outside lemmy?
Shit, I’d still be using xp if they let me.
It is a statistical fact that people who pirate things tend to buy more things than people who never pirate anything. Furthermore, people who exclusively pirate are a minority. It is also a fact that the majority of pirates would rather pay for things if the service provided is a superior experience to that of piracy.
Gabe Newell said “Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem.”
yes, but it should be opt-in not opt-out. It should not exist in my os unless I install it myself.
I could apply this line to so many things microsoft put into windows since xp.
I used firefox back in the day because it was better than IE, switched to chrome because of the convenience and features. I recently switched to brave because chrome became such a pain. If brave shits the bed because of this, I’m going back to firefox.
I keep seeing headlines like this all the time. I’m over here like “This has already been a thing for years”. Whenever I’d setup a win10 pc for someone, I’d have to clean the ads out of the start menu as part of the setup. So I ask again, how is this any different from the bullshit we’re already dealing with?
sorry inquisitor, i meant to say “For the glory of Terra and the God Emperor of Mankind!”
am I doing it right?
The sad part is that we don’t know if mullet-man is being satirical or if he actually drank the kool-aid. Either way, pasty-white-boy is starting to learn some media literacy, and is getting bullied for it.
My home town had four churches and no homeless people. What homeless people are those churches supposed to help?
Meanwhile, in the city I now live in, there’s tons of churches and half of them give free food to the homeless every single day, and there’s lines going around the block at all of them.
There is no magic bullet that can solve homelessness. Anything proposed must be a part of a larger solution. There are tons of proposals that, if actually done and not half-assed, would help immensely.
I don’t have to imagine roku injecting ads, I’ve already seen it. Had a movie going on my tablet, screen shared to the tv over wifi, tv screen had an ad “you can watch this movie on our bullshit streaming service!”. This was 2 years ago. I will never buy a smart tv. And fuck roku specifically.
I remember when this game was a dumpster fire. Is it actually a video game now?
This is the year of the linux desktop!
By our powers combined, we’ll exceed 2% market share!
(no actually, please support linux. I just switched like a month ago and while it’s so much better than windows there are so many petty annoyances that will never get resolved unless more people bitch about it and that kind of support needs more users)
