They are removing lots of the nice things they did like days when an the revenue goes to artists

How did they crush f-droid? What did they do to set alternative app stores on Android back? We aren't talking about YouTube here, your entire comment is just making shit up about Android stores because you are bad about other parts of Google.

Unlike on iOS, nobody forces them to use Google Play to distribute their app. Just don't use it. On iOS that's not an option, but here what's the problem?

You have it backwards. This is not too stop fake photos, despite the awful headline. It's to attempt to provide a chain of custody and attestation. "I trust tom only takes real photos, and I can see this thing came from Tom"

Almost all user agent strings start with that Mozilla prefix because Mozilla made the first browser with "fancy" features, so in the early internet many websites checked for that string to determine if they should serve the nice website or the stripped down version. Later when other browsers added the features, that also had to add that to their user string so users would get the right site. Which just cemented the practice.

  1. Why is your son streaming on mobile data?
  2. Why does your son have access to government hardware?
  3. Why did you hide it?

Three strikes and you're out. Anybody can make a mistake, but you're way past a simple parenting mistake here.

It's not about percentages or watching everything. It's about I want to watch what I want to watch, and usually that's the opposite of the popular stuff.

Also let's be real if we have to resort to going out physically to buy plastic disks that I'll just immediately throw away after ripping, something is still drastically wrong.

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.

Didn't the mods say they were going to do something about musk/Twitter spam?

This isn't even about something Twitter did

This isn't even about something Twitter might do

This is just a dude talking about what everybody knows about Twitter. And musk fans upvote anything Twitter, and musk haters upvote this out of a sense of validation that is shit.

Voting is not good for this, please ban the musk spam

Air brushing, Photoshop, and AI are specific methodologies, you can't just use that as a generic term when that will just create more confusion and hide the meaning, especially when the difference is important due to legislation.

I never put out an article saying it was one of them definitively. I just said the style looked similar to another method.

Then why did they put the name of the latest tech in the title when it's not even relevant
