Seems like you just proved my point.

Let’s assume it’s real. Do you identify yourself with any of your past lives?

Even if reincarnation is real, it really wouldn’t be you living as a cockcroach.

literally the theft of talent and the absence of effort.

You’ve just described 100% of the record labels.

I’d hope someone who allegedly cares so much about where the music they listen comes from would do the appropriate due diligence. Otherwise it’s just contrarianism.

You just described 64% of all human-made music.

lol if you can’t tell then it literally doesn’t matter. If your concerns are ethical, then you should be consuming only indie music from unsigned artists so, again, it literally doesn’t matter.

I think the biggest complaint was trying to shove cortana and the 11 upgrade in everyone’s faces constantly

Cortana was definitely one of the complaints but 11 didn’t even exist at the time and Microsoft insisted it never would. Funnily enough, people were pissed about Microsoft shoving the upgrade to 10 in their faces. Other things people complained about were the privacy-invading “quality of life” features, forced updates, the new start menu and metro apps. They also swore on their mothers’ graves to never update to 10. It was literally the same thing that’s happening with 11. You can look up “Windows spyware” with a pre-2021 filter for a blast from the past.

10…probably the last good Windows

Everybody and their mother complained about how bad and privacy invasive Windows 10 was. Hell, the most famous software to fix the privacy issues of Windows 11 is still called Shut Up 10. This backlash is nothing more than people resisting change.

lol no. As much as I would love for Microsoft to go die in a hole, nobody is moving away from Windows. Sensationalist headlines heralding the downfall of Microsoft due to Windows $CURRENT being the worst ever version of Windows have been around since the epoch of Windows itself. People are always moving in droves to Linux. People are always refusing to update to Windows $CURRENT. I’ve heard it. You’ve heard it. We’ve all heard it. And we’ll all keep hearing it until the end of times. In the meantime, corporations still depend on that one piece of software they paid for 10 years ago that only runs on Windows, and people are still buying new machines that an OEM already put the latest version of Windows on.

Ah, the liar paradox

Mildly amusing dystopia

I used to be on a mailing list where American companies offered money to people in the third world for menial manual tasks. Like sending pictures of random crap from different angles and such. One time I got an email offering 4 of these things and $100 and all I had to do was put one of them in my home and use it for a week and give the other 3 away. Goes without saying they’re clearly a privacy nightmare.

Their behaviour is not their fault, but it’s still their responsibility.

I hate the doomsday cult and the people in the doomsday cult are stupid

By “doomsday cult”, do you mean the very specific subset of Christians that follow the rapture conspiracy theory or all Christians? Because one of those answers is fun and games and the other actually does mean you’re an asshole, extremist and intolerant.

They asked chatgpt 4 about chatgpt 5 power consumption.

The team measured GPT-5’s power consumption by combining two key factors: how long the model took to respond to a given request, and the estimated average power draw of the hardware [they believe is] running it.

Navi, Kaepora Gaebora, or Omochao.

What you said but for Nintendo and Sega

Meh. Facebook serves beauty ads to female teens that recently deleted selfies.

I see. Yeah, that’s definitely entirely on me. When I said they should be grouped by political affiliation, I did mean “shared interests” but somehow forgot people treat politics like football teams.
