Oh please, stop trying to cover your own ass. You’re embarrassing yourself. Look at the chain of comments. You’re trash through and through. Nobody will miss you. All that you seem to live for is just bitch at others and when it happens to you, you cry like a little bitch yourself.
You should probably off yourself, it’d do the world a lot of use. We’ve got 8 billion people on the planet, don’t worry, we’d do so much better without you that you’re expendable. You may want to think you’re significant and everything but really, you aren’t.

So here we’re gonna just shovel out all of the cheap and selectively costly licenses on our services for you to watch. All so we can proclaim VaRiEtY.
Oh that show you remembered way back when? Fuck it, don’t know or don’t care! You’ll pay for what we selected for you and you’ll enjoy it.
Braindead streaming logic.
The one and only critique I’ll give to Proton is how they have it where you can have Google e-mails forwarded to you to your Proton address.
And it’s like…why? The entire reason you’re going to ProtonMail is to escape Google. Why the hell would you want Google to try and pry into your Proton usage when all you want is to distance yourself from them?
That’s not a bad thing. Maybe some of us don’t want to be cluttered with a lot of things we don’t really care for on using. God forbid we go back to simpler days of communication whereas now we’ve got things like Discord trying to charge people to pay actual money to have fancy little animations for your profile picture.
Is that what you think is missing? Stupid pointless things that make you feel special because you paid money for it when the true attraction should be focused on how much communicating can be efficient and caring about your privacy and security?
Bless the era of technology where Signal and ProtonMail exist.
“The feature will also be off by default, whereas the original plan was to turn it on by default and make users go into Settings to turn it off.”
So it can be turned on again whenever another update comes.
Let’s see…
The launcher itself ran poorly compared to Steam’s. I’ve had instances of it freezing performance down just downloading 1 game through Epic’s launcher.
You’ve locked down games behind multi-year exclusives, pissing off many people along the way that we’re now just seeing their Steam releases.
You’ve spent years giving free games away, promising not to do anymore, going back to doing it again.
The launcher and storefront are incredibly barebones compared to Steam’s. In fact, any launcher not Steam, has incredibly minimal to go with other than just running games through them.
I resonate the same way with Anime fans. I used to have seen many people identify themselves back in the 2000s as ‘Otakus’ and some even wearing the shirts to say so. It got off-putting for a good long while. There are even fans who uncomfortably reveal their favorite characters that all look suggestively underaged or too dolled up which makes associating with them in casual conversation a problem because of the mental gymnastics they’ll go through defending them.
The anime fandom has a poor track record of just keeping these weirdos out which doesn’t make it good to indulge on the hobby.
Everyone’s collections is suddenly worth way more because of the devious amounts of pumping and dumping by heritage auctions and people operating on a pawn broker mindset. That’s who ruined an honest hobby.
I wanted my collection so that I can have things to turn to and play, but have physical copies of. There were very few times I got games so I could flip them, but only if it meant more money to have on the bargaining table to get what I truly wanted. I’ve gotten a copy of Pokemon Stadium 2 sealed in 2010. I tried selling it for $95, but not sure what the final price of it really went for. Might’ve been a tad lower.
I mean, that’s just how you did business if it means getting what you want. These days, everyone is constantly flipping and skyrocketing values to unrealistic levels “for fun” or profit than just caring about what they’ve got at all.
Last Podcast on the Left - Three guys that covered true crime, the morbid, the crazy and everything in between while cracking dark humor over it all. I used to listen to this heavily from 2017 through 2021. I believe before I just stopped listening. They lost one of their longtime hosts recently to controversy a while back and I haven’t been interested in picking it back up.
The Prancing Pony Podcast - This is an acquired taste because it appeals to fans of Middle-Earth and everything Tolkien. Two hosts offer insight and depth reading of the legendarium, starting from Silmarillion through Hobbit and up to the Lord of the Rings. I think they’re close to wrapping up Return of the King soon. Very informational podcast to get into if you’re a fan of the lore.
Sequelisers - A group of hosts take bad unnecessary sequels to beloved films and attempt to fix them, while offering insight as to why the sequel in question was a bad idea in the first place.
CUPodcast - Again, another acquired taste because this only has a small following and it involves video games. It’s hosted by Pat Contri who is known as PatTheNESPunk on YouTube along with co-host Ian. They basically cover the gossip and general news rounds with gaming.
Depression has gotten massively common because people tend to self-diagnose themselves. They self-diagnose themselves because therapy costs are high.
I’ve gone through therapy to say that I absolutely do have it. But then again, I knew for certain that I already had it prior to seeing at least two therapists. Because I’ve had a shitty childhood, I’ve gotten bullied an awful lot through childhood, I had unsupporting and unloving parents. A lot of my ambitions and dreams weren’t realized because I didn’t have the necessary tools to go and achieve them. My school career was so embarrassing that I elected not to go to college because I had nothing to show for it.
And while I can say that I’ve had decent friends and some good relationships. I keep finding myself fighting with whether or not anyone actually cares of me and simply just isn’t tolerating me so they can take advantage of my generosity.
So I have plenty to be depressed about.
No. I did my time for the many years I’ve endured when adblockers weren’t really much of a thing. So, that meant that I’ve put up with ads until 2006 which meant AdBlock Plus first debuted.
Ads are typically trash, they’re in your face, they’re invasive, they’re prone to have malware in them and it’s just marketing pollution that adds no value except to figure out ways, mostly in obnoxious fashion, to get you to spend money.
Worry about the future of your stupid failure of a company, not your stupid feelings. Think of the feelings you’ve hurt over your stupid incompetence.
The reason I left Twitch was because the fucking ads were unbearable. I’ve even taken a screenshot to show people that I wasn’t lying when I said I saw that Twitch expected me to sit there and listen to and watch 8 fucking ads. Ads to shit I don’t care about other than think of violent thoughts in what I’d love to do to marketers and find a way to advertise that so they get a god damn clue.
In a perfect world, maybe A ad wouldn’t be so bad. But this has gotten out of hand and out of control. We shouldn’t ever have to sit and watch a string of ads, all varying from 20 seconds to an entire minute and even longer.
And good, I hope YouTube is stupid as fuck enough to be aggressive. Drive more creators out, even hit the successes of the YouTube whores who’ve long lived on the platform. Because all that they’re going to do is affect everyone at the end of the day, all for the sake of profiting for marketers.
Not for me, I’m a Crunchbang user.
I was a frequent Kbin.social user and I miss it. But also, you have to move on when the end is reached for the foreseeable future. One of the strengths of the Fediverse, is that you can make an account on something like MBin and still interact with Lemmy instances as if you were registered on Lemmy. Anything that makes me use one account and supports cross-platform is a major plus in my book.
Oh and uh maybe some of those running Lemmy, i.e mods, are kind of scummy so I don’t want to be at their mercy if I was just registered to Lemmy.
We should’ve known this fact, when we still have those input prompt voice operators that still can’t for the life of it, understand some of the shit we tell it. That’s the direction I saw this whole AI thing going and had a hunch that it was going to plummet because the big new shiny tech isn’t all that it was cracked up to be.
To call it ‘ending’ though is a stretch. No, it’ll be improved in time and it’ll come back when it’s more efficient. We’re only seeing the fundamental failures of expectancy vs reality in the current state. It’s too early to truly call it.
Everything felt like they didn’t last nearly as long as they could’ve. You were shuffled a lot during a school day and you had so much crammed in to do within those 8 hours that you’re there.
I never liked school for the courses and all that. I liked school because of who I hung around and some of the memories I got through them.
