Why wait? Linux has never been better. I have tried to daily drive various distros for the better part of a decade and have just recently (about a year ago) settled in Arch and have never looked back.

What’s wild to me is that after making over 10b in a few months Google still has the gall to want to squash ad blocking. How much more money do they want? To what end?

Totally. I recently had to have an IV in me for 6 hours and I have a severe needle phobia that often leads to panic attacks and fainting. This time I played chess puzzles for 6 hours and was totally lost in it.

That’s called free market capitalism.

A boycott is usually based on moral objections to a company, not financial. Obviously Sony has interest in making money — increasing prices of a video game subscription is not morally objectionable. Choosing to not purchase a product based on its market value vs perceived value is basic supply and demand.

If you were to not purchase a PS Plus subscription based on employee wages, or environmental impact of manufacturing, or something like that, then that would be a boycott. Objection to price is capitalism.

Not trying to argue that Sony is right to increase prices like that, just calling it what it is.

I suppose they could use a separate account. Mods getting into arguments with users has a tendency to look bad.

Or you could encrypt the snapshot before it goes to sleep.

Don’t large services have many duplicates/caches spread across the globe to balance load and reduce latency? Couldn’t this be seen as a positive? It could also be seen as a redundancy layer.

I think their argument is that the job exists because of capitalism and without the driving force of an economy being capital, the role of an influencer is gone.

There is a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode about just this.

I could be mistaken but I think threads might use your Instagram account. Which can be connected to Facebook but not necessarily. So I think they’re marketing it as such.
