- Comment on Nearly half of streaming subscriptions are for plans with ads 1 week ago:
Exactly this. We had a once in a generation chance to change how people watch TV and movies, and we fucked it up once again. We’re right back to paying for something with ads. Cable TV was better than broadcast back in the day because you could hear swears and see nudity, but suffer through ads for it.

Why does Sony keep doing this?

I can’t believe there isn’t an NHTSA regulation about manual egress from an unpowered vehicle. This is just bonkers.

I use this same setup. Definitely recommend.
- Comment on Netflix used to not have ads, now it’s ‘celebrating’ two years with them 6 months ago:
Even though I already pay for my mom, and a different geographical location about an hour away, last week when the kids and I tried to watch Netflix we got an unstoppable prompt to upgrade again for another $6.99. I hit cancel and it didn’t do anything. So I closed the app, reopened it, and the pop up again. Couldn’t watch Netflix.
A few minutes later I got an email from Netflix saying thanks for upgrading. They charged me anyway. I cancelled my entire account as a result. They’re never getting another nickel from me.
- Comment on Linux hits exactly 2% user share on the October 2024 Steam Survey 6 months ago:
We got our 2 kids laptops for Christmas that are now running Linux, and steam, so I’m doing my part. They previously didn’t have their own computers, so this should count.
