It's 2025. Why are we still using cards for regular purchases? In Europe there are so many local alternative systems, which are about to start integrating with each other.

What FUD? All I want twitter to be is a source of porn. And now it's not even useful for that anymore.

Impossible. The only way around it would be to pretend to be in literally any other country than the UK, and no one would you lie in the Internet! /s

My duolingo streak addiction made me fucking miserable, but I just couldn't stop. I knew that breaking it would plunge me into a horrible depressive state. I finally broke free after finishing the diamond league and make peace with "good enough". I haven't been able to use duolingo ever since, because there's apparently no way of just using duolingo normally without gamification.

Same with Apple TV. They are both a subscription and a rental.

2026 is the year of Linux. Trump bans use of Linux because it came from Europe and has no idea what it is

I strong hate these imagines with a piss tint. I can't stand them. And the text has these tiny AI-flavoured imperfections too.

Yeah but most gamers don't care deeply about games. Meanwhile, most gay people care about about not being tortured, and other people can empathise with that. The amount of money in it plays literally no role in whether people would sign a petition.

That's not true. The petition to ban gay conversion therapy achieved the same number of signatures within days. This is just much more niche.

More like stopping an antibiotic course mid-way.

I mean, sure, complaining and while doing the same thing and expecting a different result is one strategy. AAA games are purely capitalistic endeavours.

The weird people still make tons of indie games.
