I understand your take and mostly agree with you. I just want to emphasize I’m not trying to call anyone a dummy or anything, just that it’s OK to like what you like.

If companies aren’t going to cater to you, yeah that’s annoying in most scenarios.

I hear what you’re saying, but think about it this way, should I have to log into my dvd player to watch a movie? There wouldn’t be any added experience. What about 10 years down the line when Sony decides to shut off PSN? Will they take the time to remove the requirement or will they do what they’ve done in the past and just drop support?

Forcing people to be online and log into shit is just an unnecessary hassle so that they can keep making money off their paying customers. From what I can tell, this does nothing for us. If we just “get over it” then companies will continue to be exploitive. Expressing frustration, especially as a customer is important.

Gaetz wouldn’t want kids learning about how consent works.

If you ordered a cookie and didn’t get what you want, that sucks and is indeed frustrating.

However I don’t know what that has to do with anyone else. If someone wants to eat an almost raw cookie, or a too soft cookie or whatever, I don’t think that should bother you.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Python, like most languages, can be as complex as you make it.

Big incel energy.

Not gonna buy it until it’s on sale, and not using their stupid launcher.

I have enough fucking launchers.

Oh shit, what would I do without… Scout Analysis?

One of, if not the wealthiest company on the planet, acting like they can’t afford it. These people need to come back down to reality.

*exclusives Thankfully Sony saw the writing on the wall and began porting a lot of first party to PC.

Platforms like the Deck are the future IMO

Back to square one! Yay!

Brother, life is too short not to leave when you want.

Those beaver nuggets are the real deal.

This bad boy can run so many PS2 games

Without comment… Cowards.

This is one for the “There’s no systemic racism in America!” crowd

Androids best advantage used to be full control of the device… Those were the days. Then it started with saying they know better than you, then locking you out. Now I’m waiting on a new, better solution.

Honestly it’s not like native Linux is too far fetched, but there would have to be a big open source common ground device collaboration.

True, and I mean, a lot of that seems to come from how we’ve handled politics in the past affecting the now. Media companies are incentivised by controversy, and everyone’s opinion needs to be heard just to generate content.

It’ll be interesting to see how this and other worldly things change as cable news continues to die.

As an aside, it’s also funny how everyone apparently forgot all the BS Trump was doing or involved in over the four years he was in office. I remember it always being something, you know? Scandal or stupid decisions every week. I mean even know, they’re calling for a door to door military search of American households like we did in Iraq and Afghanistan. Police can barely pull over Tyreek Hill without yanking him out of his car and screaming. People can’t see the writing on the wall on how much violence would happen from something so massively invasive? Doesn’t sound like freedom to me.

OK I’ll get off my box lol.

I definitely prefer not paying $700 for an incremental upgrade.

Yeah, ideally it shouldn’t, but IMO were in this state where we’re kinda trying to play chess with a toddler that just wants juice and thinks the pieces are neat.

Taking a step back, I don’t truly understand why the option is between someone who might be reasonable, and a convicted predator con artist who, at every turn, keeps demonstrating how they’re more racist and incoherent than your great grandpa, but here we are.

Tldr: I agree with you, but this isn’t that.

Can someone ELI5 how searx works and if it’s worth the hassle of hosting? I’m privacy conscious but not paranoid.
