I mean yeah it’s selfish, but it is definitely righting a huge injustice:

There is literally no customer centric way to watch these shows, or most modern media at all. Where can I literally buy shows that I can then resell. Where can I get a subscription service that’s focused on giving me the best content possible and not trying to squeeze value out of me by influencing what I watch or selling my metrics or up selling me to a bigger plan after killing the previous plan or any number of other dark practices. Where can I buy DRM free offline files of these shows so I can watch them on an airplane on my own hardware without Internet?

It’s fucked up that there is literally no way for people to buy their entertainment and not be fucked over more for trying to do it the legal way and spending money. And piracy needs to exist as a breaking point to stop these companies from getting even worse.

But people keep talking about it and upvoting it. Please just downvote the musk spam. This isn’t even about Twitter/x, it’s just musk rambling.

He’s right though. We can’t go a day without some inane bullshit about musk getting posted. This event happened 8 years ago, it’s not even news. It should have “2015” in the title. This is a bad post, and I’m disappointed we always have to have these kinds of posts around.

I think you mean pressing buttons in menus to teleport across the galaxy

Uhh, yeah the lawmakers kind of did. Laws affect everybody, so it makes sense for everybody to react and chime in with their opinion. Even if they are awful and almost nobody agrees.

Disgusting, everybody has a right to privacy, privacy settings shouldn’t be behind a paywall.

This is like saying teachers are banned from using trojan brand condoms at work.

1. This is just one of many apps that could be a problem, banning one solves nothing
2. The entire category of social media apps has no place on a work device (except if you are in marketing)
3. If it’s not a work related app, it shouldn’t be on the work device full stop. Idgaf if it’s fucking Google sheets, if you’re not using it for work purposes it doesn’t belong there

This new law is like 3 levels of abstraction away from actually addressing any problem, and likely wasn’t a problem in the first place for any competent organization.

What do you mean “except those targeted predictive execution”? This does as well.

Did you not read the article?

I don’t understand your post.

It was on my front page. But it’s meaningless bullshit. I’m disappointed at the community for upvoting it this much.

They are literally the #1 selling video game in the history of the world.

If that’s not enough, the world is fucked.

Everybody is (rightly) saying this is a bullshit PR move and that he’ll never pay.

Then why are you up voting this?

If we all know it’s meaningless bs and non-news, downvote it. Stop giving it attention. Stop giving it the eyeballs and newscycles that he wants.

Any content aggregator would be better if people actually voted down meaningless drivel thats clearly PR internet bait

???

Are you saying the lightbulb has only helped few people? Are you saying the lightbulb was not a major discovery?

The lightbulb changed the world and affected billions. The transistor changed the world and affected bullions. A room temperature superconductor likely will as well.

Especially when the statement makes no sense

While I appreciate the sentiment, theft of service is a crime. You don’t have to be able to own something to be able to steal it.
