Comment Hostile content and offerings (Score 1) 130

It is bewildering how the modern internet has turned into a bunch of hostile content forcing you to signup and login, and hostile offerings where you as the paying guest have to pay all sorts of made up additional fees, and a cleaning fee AND still do the dishes and take the trash out.

Airbnb, not even once anymore. What started out as a nice idea has long since turned into a nightmare.
One boring, regular hotel room please.

Comment Do not enter details that are private (Score 4, Interesting) 35

It is surprising how at some point in the early 2000s, when the normies flooded the internets, it was more than enough to present someone with an elaborate form and they would fill anything you would ask of them, all information you could possibly want. Entire industries like socialmedia built upon this.

If you enter or write down or post anything anywhere, you should know it is basically public information at that point and you should consider and treat it as such. If in doubt, avoid entering any data, or any legit data; give as little as possible and use as much anonymized data like alias-emails etc as possible.

You do not want your private data at the mercy of the cheapest bidders and their off-shored staff from too often hostile regimes.

Comment They are making YOU pay (Score 0) 98

They are making YOU pay for all those hundreds of millions of dollars in completely flopped allegedly-quad-A titles that provided nothing of value, no entertainment and just an ideologically captured finger-wagging lecture from HR that would cost you $100.

Turns out no audience showed up for that at all! Surely equally many people will drop 2k on a console with all the fixings...

Comment Hip to Be Square (Score 1) 62

Does it authentically reproduce Hip to Be Square by Huey Lewis and the News?
Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in 83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost!

Comment Unbelievable (Score 1) 73

This is beyond stupid, whatever the pseudo-reasoning or attempts at excuses might be. Just for some context: An end of the 90s PowerBook G3 from your oh-so-much-hated Apple had a similar memory chip issue where it wouldnt accept just any SO-DIMMs, only the full-moon-blessed ones.
That is how stupid and bad this is. We are going back like 30 years in hardware stupidity.

Comment JS was kinda always the wrong answer (Score 1) 7

JS was kinda always the wrong answer but we somehow let the wannabe-cool kids run around with scissors in their hands on the frontend and they have been busy bringing back the fattest of the fat clients.
It is preposterous what the average little website rams down your browser on load.
Imagine using this whole JS mess and ecosystem on the serverside, when there are perfectly good, elegant solutions for the backend.
But I guess someone got rich, so that is nice for him while society as a whole is worse off.

Comment Guilty is not a belief (Score 4, Interesting) 38

Luckily for society, being guilty is not up to belief nor sympathy but is up to a trial and sentencing.
And this guilty sociopath has been found guilty, and rightfully so. And it was not in the kangaroo-court of public opinion either.

But it is truly bewildering how we are currently going thru an attempted cultural shift of what accountability really means, and the worst human beings all seem to succeed in publicly instrumentalizing society and painting themselves as innocent little victims dodging all accountability and responsibility for their own actions.

Comment Yall are still subscribed? (Score 4, Insightful) 45

I am honestly wondering who is still subbed to Netflix? If I want Golden-Age-of-TV quality, Netflix definitely does not offer it. If I just want mindnumbing motion pictures, YouTube seems the much better choice.
Seriously, WTF are you watching on Netflix these days? Cant even watch old movies anymore either.
It has become entirely pointless, then completely ideologically captured like all pseudo-entertainment providers shortly before mass-layoffs and eventual collapse.

Comment Re: News media leaks and doxxes people now? (Score 1) 58

As a counter example to your BS: no normal European country would allow the public to find out who has been arrest or questioned. There are no public mugshots either. The entire system heavily enforces the initial assumption of innocence until proven guilty. It would be unthinkable to throw someone to the mob-rule like that by doxxing them.

Do your alfabetrainbow bars publish lists of visitors? Or hospitals publish STD-treatments? Or churches publish the names of their community?

You still dont see any issue with this?

Comment It started with PS5 (Score 1) 71

It definitely had started with the insane scalper feeding-frenzy the PS5 launch was subjected (and engineered) to, people just sort of began to move on from totally overpriced consoles. And then the triple and self-proclaimed quad-A studios turned out slop and failure after failure, so what would you need a new console for anyway? To be insulted and talked down to by products you bought that barely work and hardly delivers any value?

Comment News media leaks and doxxes people now? (Score 3, Insightful) 58

Is this considered normal and usual that the US news media doxxes potential suspects even before anything official has been published or a verdict has been found?
They seem to be able to get away with it too, and direct psychological and physical violence of insane pseudo-vigilante hate mobs like we saw with the holdout juror.
