You dismiss this so easily but as an operator of an occasional ant dick lifting machine this is my dream come true.
- Comment on Microsoft admits its recent server-side "update" broke vital Windows 11 Start menu function 2 weeks ago:
This has been driving me crazy on my work laptop for the past two days

Imagine paying for traditional shitty cable internet from a company called GFiber

[July 2025] Updates to YouTube Partner Program (YPP) Monetization policies:** In order to monetize as part of the YouTube Partner Program (YPP), YouTube has always required creators to upload “original” and “authentic” content. On July 15, 2025, YouTube is updating our guidelines to better identify mass-produced and repetitious content. This update better reflects what “inauthentic” content looks like today.
So essentially, if you’re going to have a channel of AI garbage, Google wants to ensure you to use their tools to make it.

They had such a good moment with the Cyberpunk release and did nothing with it

Good, but let’s wait and see if they keep this momentum going.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 Players Express Frustration On Steam As It Will Soon Require A PSN Account 1 year ago:
It’s just a shitty thing to do though. The game was working 100% fine without an extra account and now you can’t play without it. It’s annoying for some and, for countries without PSN, potentially the end of the game being playable.
- Comment on Ten years later, Facebook's Oculus acquisition hasn't changed the world as expected 2 years ago:
I waited a long time to get into VR because I was anticipating spending $1k+ on some tethered headset and I wanted to avoid Facebook. Finally my curiosity got the better of me and I bought a Quest 3.
Holy moly I’m so glad I did. It’s an incredible device that costs half as much and yet does more than the headset I was planning to buy. I know Lemmy leans very anti-Facebook, and so did I to an extent, but I don’t regret my purchase one bit.
