query, to games in Epic Games Admits In Court That Its PC Store Still Isn't Profitable

And GOG. They used to have several games up there, and then delisted them.

query, to technology in Microsoft may replace the Start button with the Copilot AI in Windows 12

Windows 7 is my last Windows. Windows 10 is my current Windows. Looks like a safe bet to keep skipping at least one version. I did also go from XP to 7.

query, (edited ) to piracy in YouTube's anti-adblock rollout has finally arrived for Firefox users

I might agree if Google had nothing to do with YouTube. But since it’s theirs, I would only be worried about individual content creators and archivists, and they’d be better off with a support mechanism not controlled by Google. The ones not already raking it in with Google’s, I mean.

query, (edited ) to reddit in Reddit no longer links your content when they ban you, and you can only appeal once

Appeal rejected, but familiarize yourself with the content policy for future reference?

I imagine they’re banning people all over the place now, I got banned from a sub for talking about apartheid in Israel a while ago.

query, to piracy in I’m sorry, but I cannot help you with finding pirated movies. Piracy is illegal and unethical 😉

The AIs are the ones gaslighting.

query, to technology in Reddit is removing ability to opt out of ad personalization based on your activity on the platform

we should be paid our fair share for every data point they collect.

And every time they sell it, every transaction it leads to.

query, to games in Nexus Mods Fine With Bigots Leaving Over Removed Starfield ‘Pronoun’ Mod

It’s only politics because people go out of their way to oppress them. There’s nothing to be political about if people are allowed to be who they are.

query, to worldnews in Only half of required number of trainee secondary teachers in England recruited

Pay them more, entice more people to work, less workload per teacher.

query, to ukraine in British cruise missiles were used in significant Ukrainian attack on Russian submarine

Russia really should reconsider whether it’s worth parking their fleet in a foreign country.

query, to steamdeck in Supposed Steam Deck killers are missing the point

Is killing the point? Just make it all better. Get rid of DRM and subscriptions to play your own games, let people use LAN and their own servers for multiplayer.

query, to worldnews in Zelensky: No way of predicting how the millions of Ukrainian refugees in European countries would react to their country being abandoned

That’s a weird thing to say. I’d be more worried about whether the refugees will want to go back after the war, to help rebuild the country, or stay in their new lives. As refugees, they may or may not have a choice, but on the other hand, countries might want the skilled workers. The longer the war goes on, the more established they could become elsewhere.

query, to memes in Today's electrical tip to stop unwanted questions about the living room ceiling hook.

It’s not, though. This is lemmy.ml, the OP is from lemmy.ca.

query, to risa in How they bought his nonsense I will never know

Apu was one of my favorite characters, and next to the rest of Springfield I wouldn’t say he was portrayed as any kind of bad guy. But I think it’s entirely fair to find fault with him and the stereotypes used.

The “This is why we can’t have nice things” guys are the ones who use this type of character to mock people of Indian descent. Having heard about their experiences, I would say that the bare minimum that should be done is involve someone from the community you’re portraying, when creating a character who stands out as someone of that community.

query, to asklemmy in You can change the spelling of one word in the English language to match how they are pronounced. What word do you pick?

I think the main issue with this is that pronunciation changes over time, in addition to varying by area. So if we keep changing the spelling, written works will became unreadable faster.

But I would suggest that any band names that use umlauts/foreign letters should be pronounced accordingly.

query, to technology in Microsoft is using malware-like pop-ups in Windows 11 to get people to ditch Google

Not sure if you’re being sarcastic, but that’s how they got in trouble with Internet Explorer in the EU.
