How is this even legal? So now suddenly every chromium extension has to go through a play store style review? How is Google entitled to do this on their competitor's browsers?

Kuusi palaa

Guess which meaning this one is. Hint: Look at my username

Forza Horizon 4 did this but worse. It would be an unskippable 2 minute video ad ignoring your volume settings. It only played 5 times in my 45 hours of gameplay but it was so damn unacceptable that it's reminding me to give that game a negative review.

Forza Horizon 5 does not do this. Get that game or something else instead.

That's 149KW (200hp) on that tiny car? That sounds like a hoot to drive

Almost anything Google. I have an Android because I hate the restrictions of iOS, but forcing me to sell my location to Google if I want to know where I am (even in an open source app because location is a system thing).

This makes sense obviously

I am Gen Z and I'm not fine with that. I chose to go to college far from where I grew up so that I would be independent and free and do stuff on my own accord, like buying a motorcycle.

Why the hell would they add the DRM after release when the game is already cracked before the DRM was added? I can never understand this logic.

5000 per day?! That's insane. I feel like I get bombarded with notifications, so I checked how many I got today. Exactly 69.

I've taken math beyond Calculus and proof based math and I'm still not sure what this is supposed to be other than a demonstration of 2D transformations.

2006 Suzuki GZ250. Bought at 3100 miles and I've already gotten it up to 3750. I've been wanting a motorcycle for ages, and I knew better to not start on something too powerful. It's so fun to ride! And comfortable, too, unless I'm on it for 3+ hours, which I do without even knowing because of how fun it is.

Although there is an itch to get something more powerful now. I won't be able to afford the insurance on that though lol. To get that feeling, I test rode a Harley Davidson Sportster 48, not what people think of a "fast" motorcycle but it might as well be a rocket ship compared to what I have. But I'm super happy with my GZ250 and will keep it through at least April 2024.

This might be a hot take but I've noticed some complicated electron apps are faster than some simple native apps. The striking example to me is how Vs code runs better and has a lower startup time than the stock Windows 11 File manager.

A well written electron app is better than a poorly written native app sometimes.

At least they got rid of the horribly designed all-in-one internet toggle, but this is still a pointless extra click. I have limited mobile data and disabling it helps with battery life. Stop being so pushy, Google!

And this is why we should've all cancelled Netflix when they began cracking down on password sharing. If we let them win, it'll become normalized across the entire industry, like what is happening here.

I was watching a video on landscape mode on my phone on YouTube. And then when a wild midroll ad appears, the ad thinks it's a good idea to play a ultrawide-screen video inside a TikTok style vertical phone window, and then puts that in a widescreen video. The whole thing also got smaller to display the CTA at the right.

Which reminds me, I hate how YT ads on mobile try to forcibly cover up the entire screen. It's like seeing a billboard that suddenly expands to fill most of your vision. They didn't used to do that, instead they just took over the video portion of the screen, but you could keep browsing comments while the ad plays.
