Classic sony move. Remember Linux in ps2…
I have 15. Is that excessive?
Without this fiasco, i would’ve still use chrome. Yeah, now i use firefox.
Spotify already paid rights holder (…the record labels, which is the one supposed to pay the artists). Under the new law, its ill defined which could make spotify pay to artists on top of paying the record labels, thus double the pay.
Deliberately and actively try to make user experience worst is shit evil. Now im gonna actively share ubo to all people i talk IRL
If they succeed in suing, next I’m gonna sue google for my youtube addiction, then sue reddit for my scrolling reddit addiction, then sue tiktok for my child’s tiktoking addiction.
Pay it forward. I’m from 3rd world country. Growing up pirating gave me and my brother precious memories playing cs, doom, star wars, gta2, rollercoster tycoon, sims etc. Not to mention music and movies which would’ve cost us weeks of our food money if we would’ve bought it legitimately. We both grew up and made decent enough money now. I paid for my games and sometimes paid to play old games if i could find it in Steams. Million thanks to all the crackers, hosters, translators, modders, seeders, etc. You made my childhood memorable, and worth living despite all the shits going around us where we live. Oh not to mention i learned better english playing games than learning it from school.
This is far from true in 3rd world. People buy pc without os, the shop helped customers install pirated version because its way more cheaper than buying preinstalled windows pc. There’s people who still remember the windows cd key by heart more than they remember their spouse’s birth date.
Its not random thoughts, its the reality and msft knows it and they let it happened same as adobe with photoshop. They let students pirate their softwares so that by the time they graduated and enter the work field, they’d keep using it in their new job/company, where they would charge real expensive money for the license
Not true. People wouldn’t buy a pre-installed windows because its much way expensive. They just buy a preinstalled pirated windows instead.
Star wars is better

Dont forget Israel bombed Associated Press & Al Jazeera office building in 2021 for reporting against them
Same tactic by israel before. They flat out a building office of AlJazeera & Associated Press back in 2021 with a 1 hour warning. They really dont care if all civilian manage to evacuate or not
This scene from a game has some resemblance of the situation. Plus, israel is using white phosporus
