We’re in a generation of complacency. Nobody cares and our to busy consuming to care.

This is incredibly off topic here considering the fact we’re mostly talking about Google and the company giving a market advantage to companies that could cut them some “deals”

Wow. Windows 11 truly works against itself. (Though I expect MSFT to patch it within the week)

What about Ronald Reagan?

Does cheating in games justify downright deactivating custom accessories?

Why would say it’s racist when being jewish is a religion? Also just because they’re not particularly white doesn’t mean that White supremacy can be inspired or want to support ideologies like apartheid states. Especially the people they’re targeting happen to be a group of people white supremacists would deem as “unpure”?

He should start charging the users to make up for the loss ;) (praying and hoping this damn site dies soon)

The lives of Palestinians are far less important than our boys in blue. Instead of I don’t know? stopping Israel directly, we’ll just save our people and get out of there.

I despise bluesky but that too

meh, I’d say a mix of lack of ability to advertise efficiently on services like mastodon and lemmy and the fact that Lemmy and Mastodon are still in their “infancy” (I can’t say that about the latter since its pretty old in comparison to lemmy). Also, lack of marketing power compared to something like meta with billions of dollars of resources and all the motivation to try to get people to move away from Twitter and onto their services. This is new tech so I’d rather just stick to being niche for now and enjoy the experience. Its not going to last long and maybe soon by the next year we’re going to see alot progression.

or mastodon/threads mainly

Time to rethink Windows 10 support cycle then?

This doesn’t stop Microsoft. It only encourages them to do it harder.

I came here just to say this. I usually now just download shit on my ipod so its godtier to get away from the soon to be overpriced streaming services

Thank you for this. Usually I go to my universities’ underground radio station but this works just as well :)

Yes, embrace, extend and extinguish my breast milk drinking.

I would say Apple isn’t as severe as something like Meta or “X” but the amount of influence apple has over the industry is insane. There’s a reason why so many laptops are losing ports “because the MacBook has it” or why smartphones are stagnating and when they “innovate” they’re just removing more features like the SD card reader all simply because “Apple did it”. Hell, Windows has been trying to be like Mac OS for years from its flat minimal design to its oversimplification of its design to trying to make their own “eco system”. Apple’s influence can even extend beyond tech with their flat minimalist, corporate design being applied to every industry and building and design ever to be conceived in 2023. Everyone is trying to be Apple from Tech companies to fast food joints. Truly if we measure their influence and the power they carry moving entire industries to do various things. They are one of the most powerful company in silicon valley. Everything we hate about modern tech and how restrictive it is can be sourced all the way back to Apple.

a year maybe

Fair enough. I respect the response. I’ve just been seeing some of the same threads throughout my time on lemmy and its essientially the same responses generally from brave users (which is their choice). Its not fully a waste but at this point the mods should just pin this thread.

Then like I said, you can ask the mods to pin this if its so essiential to post this every week and to see the same discussion points as well. Keep it to one megathread or this becomes an excuse to karma farm.

I see this exact thread every week now and it’s between the same people:

“Oh ok i stopped using it” to “Naw i’ll keep using brave”

At this point can we stop this? Brave is trash but people are either too stubborn or just don’t care anymore (which is ironic). Either mods just pin this thread and treat this as a “brave is trash” megathread or I don’t know.
