Thankfully there are alternatives out there, and we should be using them.

They don’t. The message right now is to boycott Spotify.
Yo, Netflix! This one right here! Read it and understand plz
I think there ARE other ways to combat this, and the main one is ending activist investors that empower the Jack Welch pump and dump doctrine.
If someone wants to invest in something because they like it, they should be able to do that. What they should NOT be able to do is overwhelm a company they may or may not even like with dollars and then tell the company how to run its own business. If you don’t like what a company is doing, you SELL YOUR STOCK.
It’s this incessant worshiping of the shareholder that is step # 1 of enshittifcation.
Cancelled two weeks ago, and while it’s too early for me to have a fully informed opinion, so far I’ve noticed that if you just hold items in your cart until you reach some kind of threshold (and I admittedly don’t know what that is) you can get free shipping anyway.
It’s almost like I was paying all that money just so I could one off order anything on a whim. I’m an adult, I can exercise impulse control and stick it to Amazon in some small way by doing it. Win/Win.
rofl fair enough
Hahah yeah water glassing is kind of a throwback that helps keep them even through temp variations. We did an experiment back when we had a homestead a few years ago, where we cleaned any nasties if there were any and then dipped the eggs in oil and kept them in a cool room.
We came back every three months to try an egg. We ended the experiment at 2 years after which 25% of them began to float. The rest were still edible but the yolk wouldn’t stay together when cracked.
Henceforth I will refer to OpenAI as ClosedAI.
Nice try, ISP!
Oddly specific haha
They did. The people were starving to death. The woman’s complaint was that her friend had talked her into eating their sons… but to eat hers first. When the time came to eat the friend’s she played clueless about his whereabouts. The king was understandably upset at the state of affairs.
No one expects the Reaper Inquisition
Video beamed. Video intercepted by aliens. Think cats rule earth.
They’re right.
Ironically means that everything I watch on my Linux machine will definitely be pirated.
Ooh that’s nice! I’ll give that a go. Thank you =)
I still have problems with any game in the Heroic Launcher that has well… its own launcher. Just can’t get em to work at all.

Yeah I caught that too. That makes it a pro for personal computers and a con for data centers heheh
When a corporation is willing to lose billions of dollars to capture an audience, effectively locking out any competition, and then counters any possible avenue to blocking their monopolistic stance, your first statement shouldn’t be about choice, because there isn’t one.
There are no applicable laws that I know about, and as a voice actor I am similarly concerned. There is a lot of focus on this in the industry atm, but we all know how glacially slow government moves. SAG-AFTRA and NAVA have this as a focus currently, and I’m watching with interest.
