Everyone suggesting forks like librewolf or whatever are missing the most important point..... all these forks are downstream... so if you kill firefox, you kill all the downstream forks (unless someone willing to do the heavy lifting and work full time on one of the forks)
If people are willing to kill firefox over some stupid features the can be opt-out, then you are cutting your nose to spite your face (and hand it over to google/chrome)
firefox is literally the only thing stopping/slowing google/chrome total control of internet standards
I'm curious, in your opinion when does something like this become an ad? Is it an ad if they they pop it up mid-show every hour?
No? How about every 10 minutes, is it an ad then?
If you're getting paid to promote someone else's shit, it's an ad...
If you're promoting something related to your own businss on your own propery and not getting paid by an external party, it's probably not an ad...
When you use an app from big tech, you're on their property. They can display whatever they want on their app. They can promise "ad-free" and break that promise if they want... or in this case, most people will agree it's not an ad
Again, my explanation of our enshittified reality is not an endorsement... hence i choose to avoid big tech where i can and opt for free software.
I welcome you to do the same instead of demanding that amazon follow your view of the world
Marketing departments attempt to bend reality and public opinion to benefit their company. Their efforts have obviously been effective with at least one commenter on Lemmy.
lol, you're making judgements on people trying to explain reality to you while you're the one actively giving money to facists
In the advertising world, it's not advertising, it's a promotion
For example, if you go to the grocery store, there is a difference between hearing/seeing something that says, "bananas are on special today" vs "go buy [specific brand] of cereal today!"
Thanks. It wasnt a proton issue. The game runs OK randomly if the rockstar launcher signs in properly. Otherwise it just stalls and the rockstar launcher throws an error saying the game is already running
That has ALWAYS been the case. I dont know why people are surprised now... ubuntu has alqays been backed by canonical. And it has always been based on the work of debian. What did people expect?
People have always been saying to just skip the corporate bullshit and go straight to the source... debian
Unfortunately there was a very loud group of people online shitting on debian, saying that it's too difficult or user friendly or whatever... may have been true 10 years ago, but not anymore
The good people don't become billionaires in the first place
You have extra money to name a hospital wing after yourself? Should have been taxed appropriately in the first place so that the hospital didnt need to sell naming rights just to fill a funding gap....
You have extra money to donate to your family charity? Should have been paid as appropriate wages to your workers instead of accumulating in your personal net worth....
All billionaire philanthropy is a failure of policy that allowed them to unjustly accumulate those billions through exploting others, thereby creating most of the problems that they "solve" through their philanthropy later in life
Not sure about 5,
but grim fandango should be one of them.
