And they actually wonder why tech literate people shit all over them every chance they get. This is some trash human behavior.

It’d be like if you sprayed fart spray all over your neighbors table at a flea market because they also have a few pokemon cards for sale but they’re in better condition than yours.

“Rather than improve myself I’m going to block others from doing better than me” is the corporate worlds motto ATM. Race to the bottom

Greed

I think there stands a case to have discount surge pricing on cheque days for example to ease the burden of poverty framing the “surge” as increased store volume opposed to prices but yea now that I type it out a different term is needed lol

Any kind of surge pricing by for profit companies providing basic needs should be illegal full stop

Yea the ray bans in question are completely discreet unless told or you’ve seen them already

Since I started getting good at yosu and that fishing mini game in farmrpg I’ve been failing more captchas. I wonder if they’re related knowing this

It’s not usually but you can print out the little gauge thing or use their in browser tool if you have a Webcam and don’t mind your face being scanned by a discount glasses company in the decade of machine learning we’re about to go through

I like the thought exercise of; consider you as you are now never heard of religion/higher powers/all the gods. Now picture yourself being spoken to by a pastor of the lord Jesus christ. You’d think this guy is absolutely batshit and shouldn’t be out walking around. Certainly at the very least not be allowed to indoctrin more to their causw within a tax free building paid for largely by taxes.

Don’t say anything that’s lest majest! Just let him have his way with you and it’ll be over by morning. Don’t fight back it’s pointless.

We were here in history before. You wanna go back? We’ve been well on our way since the 60s to another society of the wealthy and the poor. No in between. The last bout of this we called the religious dark ages and it stifled progress for two millenia.

Alright lol so long as you understand being forged by the fires of the early internet deems you responsible to be aware of such tomfoolery against us internet patrons. Convince 10 computer illiterate friends to install ublock origin and all shall be forgiven haha

Out of curiosity how old are you?

It’s not even illegal?

Oh I’m sure a little line of coke won’t hurt. But just a peak into pandoras box…

Your mindset opened the floodgates for this market manipulation 20 years ago and you think we should try more of that?

These companies will never be satisfied until they can leverage your labor for another quarter in the machine.

There is no negotiating. Legislation is required.

Your first point at least is an iPad thing. Nothing is fully featured on the iPad. Not even safari. It’s thanks to that exact fact that chrome is at least mostly fully featured on the iPad. If safari had comparable function, you could bank on them blocking those features from the chrome app too. There’s a deal made somewhere. I wouldn’t be surprised if cash flow from Google is why safari is still the same piece of crap it always has been. “Hey your R&D + return for safari only nets you 1% YOY. We’ll give you 2% YOY if you just don’t even bother.”

They only know raising prices and knee-jerk reactions to competitive moves in their market space. Additional functionality for the user is only granted when it’s being used as a cudgle against their competition. Never for users benefit.

If you’re seeing new functionality on the iPad Firefox app, it’s likely because Firefox figured out a way to implement it without paying apple because they want the user to have that function. Totally different ethos.

No but if you tug your meat with your left more than your right by the time you die, believe it or not, straight to hell

I played botw. Never would have on a switch. That thing is technologically pathetic. From what I hear it hardly makes 20fps? In what world is that playble. I used to play a fps called combat arms back in around 2006 on an x1600. Both my frame rate and the textures were better than botw. Every tower you climb you just look out at all 4 polygons and wonder if the game is even complete.

If totk was on the same technical level as botw, it’s no wonder people emulate their legit copies. They want to play the game they paid for in 2024 with shadows and textures at a playable frame rate. Nintendo won’t give that to them but modders usually have texture packs ready to go on new releases that reveals how much their shitty handheld holds their games back.

How cool the building and freedom is means shit if it’s a miserable chore to play. You can’t even turn the camera sensitivity up high enough to utilize a lot of the building freedom without a camera fix making some cool mechanics or build utility you see people performing in clips literally impossible on the native switch.

I think you’re misunderstanding things. You trust these companies to do what is best for the consumer. That’s not how the rest of us, or the companies you’re defending, consider things. Their interest is in the bottom dollar. If screwing you makes a buck, they’ll do it. Trusting them to do the right thing is a major player in enshittification.

How you misunderstood that is exactly how they take advantage of this kind of packaging. Great example

Looks like astroturfing to me

You guys wipe?
