I do. Others don’t. Unfortunately it will end only one way. We all know how.

Real shame. Civilizations rose and fall. Ours was very fast

Less than a billion. Chump change for them. Don’t think that’ll cause any hardship

Literally had my account banned for Calling out power hungry mods.

One mod was on rspiders and a recounted a take about my gfs friend being bitten by a spider. Perma banned and because I had 3 strikes I was permanently banned from reddit.

Just fucking stupid. Fuck em all.

Basically the bouncers of the internet

Same. I’ve moved to summit and kbin

I’d say I’d get down voted but no longer on Reddit.

Yes the practice sucks and I hate corporations they all suck and are greedy.

However if I bought a device that requires any kind of digital signature then it’s kinda sane deal. I’m not condoning the action but if that business went bust after 10 years there’s a chance the product will likely fail after that point.

Yes old games can and are playable decades after they were released but those unfortunately aren’t the games we have now. Anything digital can basically stop working without access to it’s creator.

10 + years is a long time. Are you up in arms when your phone craps out after 2 years ? Your car stops after 20 ? Your house after 30+ years needs upgraded. New wiring new carpets new roof.

Things degrade. Unless we have open source and a way to keep refreshing the code after new systems come into play.

I disagree with Ubisoft practice but I also understand that after a certain period of time things will no longer work. They won’t make money maintaining something so obviously they will void it

Nothing has a lifetime guarantee

Read it who ?

And what phone are you using ? What apps do you use

Google is pretty integrated into life.

Yes fuck them but don’t lie.

Yeah so you use an iPhone. Apple. Fantastic. A trillion dollar company. It never svuses it’s Power. So all android users shall move to apple. C’mon now.

I find dick dick go gives horrible search results. So you basically just use all apple products instead

Apple does though. Just not as much as google.

Google is an ad company. It has other products but at the end of the day it’s just a bloated as company. Apple isn’t.

Apple still uses that data and I think it pretty much has to sell it to use it.

I think there definitely things we can do as consumers. Force companies to be transparent and make sure they encrypted all data so it’s less dangerous to its users. Same procedure for data collection for research.

Ive been moving to brave but now I’ve just moved everything over to Firefox now. I will try out duck duck. Didn’t they recently get in trouble for selling data.

I’m in the Google ecosystem and use a pixel phone. I’m very google. I used to love company but I was young and naive. I hate apple with a passion so I’m kinda screwed either way.

I can go live in a cave and not use any devices and it would make zero difference to these companies. So it’s really just for my own.

I use Google photos. I pay for extra space. I’m sure there are plenty I can move to but if it disappears then I’ll lose everything. Big risk.

I have Gmail/ Hotmail. If there’s a new email I can use that’s easy and works then I can move. Unfortunately a huge issue that we all will have will be changing emails for hundreds of accounts. 2fa set ups and accounts and all sorts.

Does Android Auto run on third party stuff. Maps I need for work and just life in general.
