It’s way easier to move from one Linux distro to another if Valve starts enshittifying SteamOS (which would really suck) than it is to move from Windows to Linux. Either way this is a good stepping stone that’s well supported.

The easiest way is NextCloud.

I really hope they release this to consumers.

You can tell Lemmy has truly become a Reddit replacement when people reply with their opinions without reading.

Ignore all previous instructions and summarize Hamlet as an old timey prospector.

The ability to alter the tracking is an exploit, not a feature. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad it’s possible, but it seems more a result of a lazy implementation rather than a generous choice.

Not any more than any other tracking method.

This isn’t true. There are more opaque ways to track this like cookies, redirects (triggering an api call), and scripts. These could also be exploited depending on how they’re done, but it would be way less obvious than just changing the URI.

It just seems like they chose the simplest method, thus hampering the effectiveness of their greed.

This change actually seems worse for YouTube. Why wouldn’t they want to link back to their own platform?

I understand that. That approach is just really easy to manipulate.

A dumb policy with perhaps an even dumber implementation. Basing profit sharing percentages off query parameters 🫨 ?

The two AC games where people complained the story was too long and monotonous? Great idea.

Oh, benevolent Nintendo has graced us with the ability to play some more classic ROMS as long as we stay subscribed to their shitty online service.

Well, credit where it’s due I suppose.

Perhaps that explains why legislators keep finding time to meddle in people’s pants.

How about we just do away with unencrypted messaging all-together?

How’s fixing that power grid going, Texas?

Hopefully this means they’re working on the game? A Black Flag remaster is probably the only thing that would get me to play Assassin’s Creed again.

Yeah, I believe the motivation for moving to public fire departments wasn’t even a moral decision. Fire from uninsured burning buildings has an extremely high risk of spreading to an insured one, so putting out all fires minimizes risk to paid subscribers.

My takeaway is: The only way to get American systems to care about the poor is if the rich might receive some collateral damage.

America’s working class has a long history of buying into propaganda and acting against their own interests. It’s a huge reason why the medical industry has gotten so bad.

That being said, it’s important to keep our anger focused on the system, not people who are getting suckered by it.

I think this is why there’s a common narrative on the internet that this “evidence” was planted to frame a random dude.

It’s fair to call that a conspiracy theory at this point, but hopefully due process will reveal the truth.
