Is calling an extremely underweight anorexic person healthy, a good weight, and encouraging them to keep losing weight the right thing to do? Is that good because it’s providing joy to someone?
That’s not removing a feature though, it’s just changing it. Side loading is the feature.
I’ll pay for as long as it’s worth it, and Spotify is worth every cent even though I have hundreds of gigs of music available on my plex server.
Also the “gendered brain” stuff you’re saying……wouldn’t that mean that gender isn’t a social construct and isn’t “fluid”, and is in fact a binary?
Giant overreaction given all we know about 3d printed guns and that they were made specifically to be inoperable and were part of a display, but that’s what we’ve come to expect from governments around the world unfortunately.
Uh oh, people won’t like you pointing out that Colesworth aren’t making huge margins and aren’t price gouging.
The issue is cost of everything in the supply chain before it gets to colesworth for us to buy has gone through the roof since Covid thanks to the governments terrible handling of, well, everything economy related since then. As you said, colesworth haven’t doubled their profit margin since prices have doubled. They’re not making gigantic profits despite their revenue increasing.
I don’t know how you got to house prices being the cause though. House prices are a symptom of the rampant inflation and other government policies, not the cause.
By “Google’s fuckery” you mean “Google doing all the updates and giving it to them” though, right?
Until these alternative AOSP-derived OS developers stop relying on Google and start doing their own stuff, Google will have the ability to break their OS’s. This isn’t a Google issue, it’s a OS developer issue.
Apple, with the longest software support on the market, and planned obsolescence don’t go in the same sentence together. Sorry but they are literally the best in the industry in this regard.
Also I assume you’re talking about the “batterygate” thing with the iPhone 6 where they slowed the device down? That was a giant overreaction - the alternative was the phone crashes and reboots constantly.
Owning a phone doesn’t give you control over what the operating system can do. You can so what the OS they give you allows you to do, or you can find a way to put a different os on it - but they don’t need to provide a way for you to do that easily.
Not really sure why this is a hard concept for some people to grasp?
That is not when they launched their AI. A link in that very link of yours goes to an article from August 2024 about Google’s AI overview being updated then:
https://www.tomsguide.com/computing/search-engines/google-updates-ai-overviews-to-make-it-easier-to-check-its-accurate
It came out loooooong before March 2025 lol
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_Overviews
Then there was months of crap like this:
https://www.politifact.com/article/2024/aug/05/are-google-meta-ai-hiding-trump-information-heres/
Where “bugs” in meta, Google, etcs products all just so happened to not autocomplete for trump, pretended the assassination attempt was “misinformation”, returned pro Harris results if you searched for trump, and so on.
