Cool nice shit costs money sometimes. You can’t really consider this device from a regular value standpoint. Its unique.
They also give you 24 games within the price of the device. At say $5-$10 a pop, its decent value for the games alone.
Yup its exactly this. And with supply shortages, itll take a while to filter down in price unfortunately.
Damn straight. Upgrade Interac, nationalize it if needed.
Yeah, I think the future is bright. We need to cut out Microsoft, Google and Oracle from public service use. Hold Amazon accountable for its labour violations. Remove our data from US owned or located datacenters. Ban Facebook for its criminal activities. Force Netflix and other streamers to pay into our culture production funds and create/promote more Canadian/French Language content. We need to become food independent from the US. No way we should die from eating their bullshit.
We’ve allowed our sovereignty to be eroded by these companies who do whatever the fuck they want with no consequences.
And quite frankly, I think the Auto Industry in Ontario can die and then be replaced with military industries: small arms, drones and missiles. Enough fucking around.
In a sense, its the system functioning as it should. If you have a healthy democratic society with good principals, juries should acquit people for things that may be crimes but are perfectly reasonable and justified.
May be an orange, but you sure have a smart system to alert you if the kibble is late.
An app is always a red flag, especially if it’s the only way you can interact with the device.
We could live without anything that uses ads to “sustain” itself. Nobody hosting ads on their service is doing so to “maintain” themselves. They just want profit for their labour… they are entitled too, but its a business choice, never a necessity.
And yeah if I use something, I’ll always pay for no ads. Ads cost so much more of our lifespans and contribute so fucking little to those that host them. Garbage.
I respect your take, but I think it is wrong.
Who’s houses are the datacenters being built next to?
I think Ai hate might be the single most unifying position in the west right now.
Most people didn’t even trust algorithmic automation before agents came along. lol
Some transit channels have uploaded mirrors to PeerTube but the numbers are minuscule compared to their Youtube channels.

Cynically though… they’ve been peddling nothing for two decades now. Big data, the cloud, SAAS, web 3.0, metaverse, nfts, llms, there’s always a new nothing born.
I dunno, we already knew the reddit answer without clicking in and it was “why don’t you google this yourself”.
They are all going into debt over datacenters. Google issued new shares… how? why? They all make so much money and still they can’t cashflow this expansion.
What blood will there be to take?
Or his pivot to threads?
Farming equipment is a particularly annoying one, that and construction vehicles, are becoming increasingly locked down by proprietary software and impossible to maintain yourself. You can’t even employ mechanics outside the dealer network in some instances and it will be more so in the future.
I think that’s how it went down for most people.
I remember getting free games with Gold back on the 360 and One. Eventually they became unplayable without the subscription. Kinda enshitified.
There’s just something about your progression being tied to a subscription that makes you want to invest less in the game.
Just tell yourself that at the same time this was happening, the smartest people working for the Canadian government were planning how to best sanction all the red and swing states to deliver the most hurt.
