Probably. But maybe it is my habit of unshitifying every OS I install. I always decline telemetry, ads and suspecious features since Win10 rolled out. Same on my android phones. Use adblock since I cannot stand seeing ad banners without freaking out.
My point is: Microsoft and Google always offer opting-out. Users are responsible for accepting or declining services like telemetry. If you still cry about this crap: FIX YOUR CONFIG.
I cannot relate to most of your points. I’ve never seen the ads you describe. UI made a huge leap forward after they neglected it for decades, so it almost caught up to the usual Linux DEs (as they were some years ago). System performance is not worse than on my several Linux systems.
I just don’t see the point in switching to Linux now, if you haven’t already done years ago.
I hope the big G will pull the big N into court.
Yes, but users with basic knowledge don’t even get the difference between a web browser and a search engine. Shutting down Google seems like a perfect “simple” explanation for a general digital lockdown.
They know this is impossible - even with their worthless currency. I guess they will soon provide their own services or they will revoke internet access from their citizens.
Will they pay cheap developers with vodka?
Don’t try that. You gonna end up totally forgetting about that game and when you think you should try it already, then you cannot find the drive to do so.
Artists embraced Adobe long enough. It’s time for a change.

My automated emergency breaking is worse than if it was disabled. It only works on false-positives. I had a minor collision and the system reached after the crash. Another time I could break early on, but the breaks didn’t disengage until restarting the ignition.
tl;dr Get rid of Chrome and install a browser that respects your privacy.
Was it a AAA game? How can it be this unknown when it was AAA?
Thanks for this unqualified headline.
3x as powerful also means, 3 times the emissions from 3x fuel consumption. Meanwhile, car drivers are bullied into saving fuel and emissions because, uh, the environment.
Thanks a lot for the inspiration. Now I wanna hack into all IOT devices that have a camera and microphone. Maybe even speakers, so I can blackmail the owners immediately after filming their intercourse. 👹
Soundcloud + Bandcamp and a 3rd party client like Newpipe is the only valid option for me.
Downloading music and playing it offline is better than streaming low quality audio on a subscription.
Great idea! If you cannot do any productive at work, play D&D with your colleagues! 👍
Only up to 50%? I would much appreciate 100%. That would make users rethink their subscription.
Sorry, but I didn’t feel like opening the link on my phone. 😅🤦
