Consumers don't need to know how the sausage is made, but they sure as fuck know if it tastes good. Ignoring criticism because consumers don't know how the sausage machine broke is how you get endless news articles pointing and laughing at Bethesda.
The customer is always right goes beyond the literal words. Perchance it's a lesson that needs relearned.
Only way to stop piracy is to make it easier and cheaper to buy the goods legitimately in all corners of the world. Since that won't be happening, and since so much content is an outright gamble if it's even any good, piracy will continue to grow.
Dipped? Lol, it's a rag like the rest pushing lies for clicks.
Google claimed to be open but ran backroom deals to ensure low competition. In doing so it proved its weight in the industry could squash competition, proving its monopoly, which is illegal.
Apple never made claims it was open.
As simple as. Toss in one case was decided by a jury, and the other a judge, and you'll quickly see neither are related.
Basically your question was nonsense from the jump, and pushed by blogs and the like to get idiots to click. Had you read the news, you'd get it. By why read when others will explain it for ya.
Lol, why own up to adding animations the system can't handle when you can blame app and web devs? Gnome users always know where the blame should be laid, and it's never Gnome.
Not only slow, it drops frames constantly. Doesn't matter how good your hardware is.
There's always the Android route, why fix the animations when you can just add high framerate screens to all the hardware to hide the jank. Ah, who am I kidding, Gnome wouldn't know how to properly support high framerates across multiple monitors either. How many years did fractional scaling take?
Lol, how does this change the fact their work stinks? Maybe if they didn't suck at designing the hate would stop? Nah, guilt trip the users instead, that'll fix it. Free crap is still crap, and pointing it out isn't a sin. If the devs can't deal with that, maybe they should go home and cry about it instead of further shitting up the code.
Devs don't owe users anything? Guess what, users don't owe devs shit either. If they don't like criticism, tough tittys, cause shit code will be criticized, which is why Gnome is still considered a joke.
Been ordering from this shop for years, way back when he was cutting foam himself with a cheap laser cutter. He leveled up with the rise of the hobby, bought an industrial cutter from China. China did what China does, fucked him, the machine didn't work. Fucked the store up for a good while (I'm sure some of you remember the delay in foam), he eventually found someone to cut the foam in Asia and that worked out well.
Seems some GBs didn't go well for him either, though I hear designers were also flakes.
Basically, dude made a proper go, things didn't work as planned. Now it kinda sounds like he is terminal, or at least sick enough that things like exits scams are probably the last of his worries.
Rough situation. And more stores will be closing I'm sure, this won't be the last. Still sucks to see. What other store would commission a freaking X-Files deskmat other than MKUltra? What I really loved was the conspiracy notes included with each order.
Sadly the rest of us have to live in reality. Have fun railing against one of the few sites left that makes an effort. Soon there won't be any and your fantasy world will magically come true. You've definitely thought this through. ;)
The fun of using AdSense or any other ad network. Surprise, Google doesn't actually vet its ads.
This is why blocking adblockers isn't safe, Google still can't guarantee its ads are safe. At the same time, the site doesn't earn without doing this. Tough spot to be in. This is why so few private sites are left, Google and the rest ran em out of town by controlling the money flow, or buying em up. Valnet didn't go on a buying spree of the remaining private tech sites for shits and giggles.
If there is a single APK site that can be trusted, it's APKM. Owned and operated by the dude that started Android Police. Owned and operated privately in the US, following all laws that entails.
APKM is nothing like the Russian and Chinese APK sites out there. It's ran by a legit dude that personally checks every hash of the APKs he lists. It literally exists to catalog and store APKs for posterity, a huge help to the community at large. Why it was created, why it sill exists. It's also why you won't find paid APKs on there, the entire operation is run well above board, because that's the kind of guy the owner is.
I highly doubt Artem is happy to have to block adblockers. This is simply the reality of trying to own and operate a legit site that relys on ad money. You can thank Google for the amount of ads necessary to keep the site going. You can also thank Google for the demise of privately owned sites as the ad money keeps getting lower. There's a reason he sold AP, and that's because private sites can't earn enough to keep going. Now a conglomerate owns it, and you see the clickbait results and what it actually takes to earn money with a tech site in 2023.
Just read it. Confirmed everything I was thinking, the people running Analogue are shitheads.
Lol, just straight facts. Facts you can't refute. Have fun with that. ;)
More than that, the rotations are awful. A straight up chore. By the time you hit 50 the game slows to a crawl and the combat turns into a piano lesson. I bounce off every time I get to 50, can't get past ARR. Frankly, I'm pretty sure the game simply sucks and that's that.
Well, nobody would have clicked on Ron's title or linked it to social media if he had put Wear in the hed. Isn't clickbait fun?
Ha, and that's if you can even time the order it actually goes through, since they still haven't improved their store despite repeated instances of resellers buying them out immediately. Gosh, I wonder if they themselves "buy" the product to resell under different names at incredibly elevated prices. Nah, that would be illegal, and corporations clearly follow the law nowadays, right.
And yeah, not only have these chucklefucks done nothing to improve their ordering or stock situation, they can't code either so software such as for the Pocket is still unfinished and lacking. These shitheads are selling crap on empty promises, and not delivering, all the while keeping the scam going since too few have noticed this company is propped up by years old rumored quality. Sure the hardware is nice, but it's always late and there's never enough, which hardly matters when the morons can't competently write the software to go with it.
Double biggest. Fail. Shoulda been tighter, that's just lazy. Everything after the emdash is pointless anyways, Google cut the title much earlier. Another fail.
It's clickbait, you got that right, but it's super sloppy.
Because they both pull the same censorship so there's no discernable difference where it matters?
Gimme a call when any website can exist purely on DDG traffic or Bing's ad platform.
And why do you think they are written in this manner? Does it have something to do with ads? Praytell, who owns the ad platform as well as search?
Pretty balsy to blame the writers, they are simply chasing the algorithm Google makes. In the end, Google does really control it all. So if you wanna be mad at someone, I'd say start with the one forcing everyone to do this.
