Again, not the same thing.
Again, not the same thing.
But you’re not preventing them from showing the ad if your TV is open while it’s running, so no it’s not the same, what you’re talking about would be you doing the same for ads on YouTube (going to pee while they’re playing) instead of stopping them from playing altogether.
That’s what I was going to ask, should people start patenting things in order to prevent companies from using them?
Their third most active market that they just lost
“people keep claiming this but it’s not true!”
Fucking hell buddy, I’m running Mint 22, that was released in late July, that means I’m talking about my own experience from less than a month ago. Bazzite was shitting the bed for my GPU with no one having experienced the same thing (display signal cutting off whenever there was a load on the GPU) and on Mint my wifi usb adapter that is supposed to work out of the box as of kernel 6.2 (from February… Last year!) would drop connection after 5 minutes if it worked at all after waking from suspend.
In the end I had to install a homebrewed driver and block the one used by default. You know when I don’t have to do any of that? When I install Windows. You know how you create safety issues? By getting people used to installing random stuff from the internet to get their computer working.
If it took you 7h to install Windows then honestly you were doing something wrong.
Heavy rain or snow all that matters is if the lights work!

Thicker paint so more chipping resistance? Where do I sign up? 😮
“not properly picking my hardware”
So… Perfectly average AMD hardware (5600x, 6650xt) that works correctly with Mint but not with Bazzite is a me not choosing the right hardware problem?
My wifi usb adapter supposedly being supported but not working for some reason is a me not choosing the right hardware problem?
I also run Linux and let me tell you, you’re still dealing with a ton of bullshit. I never had to spend tens of hours to try and find the version of Windows on which I am able to get my hardware running properly only to have to trust some stranger telling me to install some home made driver to finally find the last piece of my puzzle.
Windows treats you as being protected by European norms so you don’t have to experience all the bullshit… I’ve never seen any of the ads people keep talking about, I don’t live in Europe, I just tell Windows to use English UK as Windows’ language and then set my regional stuff based on what I actually want.
Install Windows > English UK > None of the bullshit
Thing is, Telegram don’t do shit about it
So you don’t see the difference between the platforms that actually has measures in place to try and prevent it and platforms that intentionally don’t have measures in place to try and prevent it?
Man, Lemmings must be even dumber than Redditors or something
If the landlord knows it’s happening and let it happen then yeah, that’s what being complicit is all about
Thing is the reason it’s worth that much is because rent is enough to cover a mortgage on that much, right? So yeah, you’re part of the machine that makes sure most people stay poor.
Sure hope you’re renting they shit for peanuts
If you’re trying to retire and it’s all based on being worth 2m+ from real estate or investments in the stock market or whatever else, you very much are part of the problem. Capitalism is the issue here. People who are worth 2m+ because they bought a house for 50k back in 1975 are just lucky enough to be profiting from it, but the end result is the same, they bought a house that could be purchased on one salary that four median income couldn’t afford today! How is that sustainable?
People around you are starving and barely able to afford to pay rent and you’re worth 2m? Sorry my man, you’re one of those who is taking advantage of the system.

Overall the median is under 200k, you’re talking about someone worth ten times that.
I’m running Mint 22 (the one that just came out) so the kernel shouldn’t have been an issue and it worked with Bazzite (but I had GPU issue with that distro) 🤷
Aaaand… Again…
But nice story though…
