I'm happy I have y'all because I can satisfy my curiosity sparked by clickbait titles without ever giving those a click.

Seriously, the digest alone looks like the full thing is an absolute non-article.

I'd actually argue that most shareholders do know what a bad move it is but are willing to stay around for it because the average consumer has proven to begrudgingly live with adverts everywhere. Amazom gets away with it on Prime, mobile ads are even worse, and Youtube gets away with it despite the outrage… I wonder whether the ads would also lead to an ad-free Windows 365 subscription for consumers analogous to Youtube Premium.

Now I can't not think about this.

To be fair, you may not always want a permanent fix for everything. Mostly because the most permanent solution will always be a temporary one. :v

Oh neat, AI can imitate my internal monologue while writing a business e-mail!

Fuck it, G-Ball

With all the very valid talking points that float around the Internet and here, the most important one is how sloppy Sony's data security has been throughout the years. The breaches during the last decade simply stripped every piece of trust from me. That's why I'm not a fan of PSN, even if you could argue it's just "yet another account".

But unless near everybody refuses to buy these PC games and cut into the sales of Sony through boycott, I don't see Sony stopping it.

I mean, I do remember T-Mobile and BurgerKing "sponsorships" in older Need for Speed games.

The last time I've read their election manifesto, it was 80% "we're against this because we're against it."
Really, they're a bunch of opportunists to the outside. To the inside, they're undesirables being opportunists. A couple of those (heh, especially in the East) probably do want to rebuild another Reich.

Bei mir ist es Mullvad DNS. Gibt es auch für Nicht-Nutzer derer VPNs. Bisher haben die nichts gemacht, das mich an ihnen zweifeln lässt.

Als zweite Option hätte ich noch Quad-9, also 9.9.9.9. Die wurden aber wegen Urheberrechtsverletzungen haftbar gemacht und da weiß ich nicht, wie lange die solche Seiten jetzt noch offenhalten.

The Onion sent their journalists to the future to do actual journalistic work and sent them back to us to deliver news as satire. You can't convince me they do it any differently. Too many Onion articles turned out surprisingly close to home over time.

Probably something of a guarantee that he can take a paid vacation day on New Year's Eve. It's just that this whole thing feels wrong. Maybe it's my bias against American retailers speaking but making a certain guaranteed vacation day a prize for online reviews feels utterly dystopian to me. It would be less bad if it was an additional vacation day, but this is Walmart we're talking about.

I struggle putting my feeling into words one-by-one, but this is roughly my sentiment.
