Yep, agreed. The biggest problem there is that Meta is generally not making life worse for its users than they’re used to. Facebook and Instagram are giving you almost the same shitty experience you got a decade ago.

Nope.
If you encourage it, it will continue to fester and rot, and the entire internet will lower their expectations.
We need to destroy these companies. We need to smash them to pieces, and hey guess what - it’s going to hurt a bit! We need to be prepared to stand up against evil, corrupt, racist, bigoted robber barons. We need to make some sacrifices to fix the internet.
Burn the fuckers to the ground, and let spez rot in a hole.
It’s true that Qobuz pays more per stream, although I’ve heard that they pay an amalgamated sum to the label instead of direct payment by artist.
Furthermore, while MQA was a bit of a bait-and-switch (basically lossy versions of much higher quality), Tidal always offered pure lossless as well.
Qobuz apparently has a better classical catalog, but worse customer support.
Basically, I’ve found Tidal to be - at this point - a bit ahead of Qobuz. Not a real complaint, just a “if I had to choose…” opinion.
Short summary: Tidal is the best overall.
Balancing the content, quality, and amount paid to artists, I put it on top.
There’s still one protest possible.
LEAVE REDDIT!!! GET THE FUCK OFF OF IT! LET IT DIE. MAKE IT DIE!
Same with twitter.
Time for a lawsuit.
Since the presence of a TV in your house is a commercial benefit for the companies who make them, AND you do not actually have control over them, it is clear that the ‘sales contract’ was fraudulent and part of a bad-faith act on the manufacturers’ part.
So I say a class-action lawsuit is in order: Each person who bought (say) an LG TV gets back 100% of their purchase price, plus some reimbursement for being spied on - probably a per-month amount. Then LG has to pay a punitive fee on top of their payouts to customers.
I know that everyone is screaming “that will never work!” and “They’ll go bankrupt!” I don’t care - SOMETHING has to change to remind these evil fuckers that they need our business, or the abuse will just ramp up.
Bankrupt them all. Tear down the entire industry. Tear down the entire economy and start again from scratch if that’s what it takes.
If they can’t be reined in legally, then it will happen illegally - and probably violently.
I guess I shouldn’t be expected to pay for games until my total is over a hundred bucks then?
Garbage. It doesn’t punish them, hold them accountable, or force them to improve their security practices.
Every breach like this should automatically require a $100 cheque to every affected account holder. Two nillion accounts compromised? $200M is a real consequence.

It ABSOLUTELY matters that Trump is put on the same playing field and under the same scrutiny as Harris!!!
That’s all. It doesn’t matter what their respective positions are. It doesn’t matter that Trump will give a rambling, incoherent answer and support Israel even if they declare babies as food.
It matters that Trump is held to the same scrutiny as Harris, simple as that.
Is Trump getting the same questions?
Frankly, I don’t see much of a problem with this.
They’ll sell the “Apple” charging cable for $40 or something fucking insane, but as long as you can buy and use a normal USB-C cable that does exactly the same thing, go for it.
Of course being Apple, they will probably void the warranty or add an identifier to their cables so that nothing else works. In that case, I hope the EU bankrupts them completely.
You misspelled 2026.
Make no mistake - Trump would do that and more.
“Yeah, we killed her. We’d killher again if we could. Whatcha gonna do about it?”
Have you played Morrowind? Best Elder Scrolls game by far, in my opinion.
And so hard to play, so yeah.
Not gonna happen. It’s a lot of work, and they’d rather spend it making new games (for legitimate reasons).
Or you could, I dunno, fuck off and die.
False equivalency.
I find ‘walking shoes’ to be decent for work, being fairly sneaker-like but typically in dark colours. If you want something a bit dressier, Rockports are a good choice.
Alternatively, you can get some dress boots. Check out the Thursday Boot company, as an example.
