The creativity people were willing to share. Forums, DIY guides, blogs, neat yet crappy animations on Youtube. It's all kind of still there, but it's hard to find with how the internet is today.

It was full of passionate people who made things because they enjoyed it. Now, it's either how-to sites written by bots/keyboard monkeys, or you're fast-tracked to the #1 video. You have to really go looking for the human now.

I have this image of astronauts in their suits standing in line at an airport now.

The only good thing to come out of RIOT are the animations. Those don't require exposing myself to the CCP.

I never, ever see any actual ads anymore. It's either some dude with an Indian dude smiling saying "Hello!" or the same exact ass picture from "Hailey201238712985723" or "Jonah9018328412873" advertising the same porn site. No advertiser worth their salt would ever advertise on Elon's Twitter.

PC part prices are already extremely high, how in the hell can anyone build or buy anything with prices so high?

Amazon has turned to utter shit these days. They've been requiring you to show your ID to get a refund. Getting asked by some Indian dude who I can barely understand a picture of my government issued ID sure doesn't feel comforting.

Invest in actual public transportation: I sleep

Invest in an overly expensive alternative to trains: REAL SHIT

Fuck both of those companies, but overall a good ruling.

The Microsoft Blogpost keeps mentioning customers and I've seen it mentioned a few times in this thread, but it almost seems like they're gearing this towards businesses and not 100% average consumers. Then again, they do mention 365 subscribers so maybe they are. Either way it's such a waste that an OS would shutter anti-virus support for anyone who doesn't pay a subscription.

Also, a ton of people here keep saying how this will drive users to Linux. No, no it wont. It isn't the first shitty thing that Microsoft has done to their OS, and it won't be the last. Older and average people won't take time out of their day to swap OS's and learn terminals.

Wonder how much money they've wasted trying to block the blockers
