Smacks@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Disney backs down from 'Steamboat Willie' YouTube copyright claimEnglish79·2 years agoI actually didn’t expect Disney to respect public domain. Everyone 100% has the right to absolutely shit on them for strangling copyright law all these years, though.

Smacks@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon Prime Video will start showing ads on January 29th unless you pay extra for ad-freeEnglish214·2 years agoAmazon 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.

Smacks@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft Will Charge for Windows 10 Security Updates in 2025English22·2 years agoThe 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.

It’s a platform I’m on everyday and have been using it for years. But they decided to block adblockers and increase prices, so they can go fuck themselves.
Smacks@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•DoorDash now warns you that your food might get cold if you don’t tipEnglish182·2 years agoThey should also warn that they’ll spit in your food too.
Smacks@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Meta faces permanent ban on targeted ads across EuropeEnglish4·2 years agoI can’t wait for Facebook to take the time and energy to make two different versions of their platform. One to adhere to the EU regulations, and the other for everyone else that harvests every last bit of data.
Smacks@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•New evidence confirms COVID-19 vaccines are overwhelmingly safeEnglish162·2 years agoIf this is trying to convince skeptics, it’ll do nothing. They’ll go back to Nancy on Facebook and exclaim how they’re putting 5G crystal-infused microchips into your body to turn you into a sky person. Literally nothing will convince the antivax.

Smacks@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Elon Musk says 'we dug our own grave' with the Cybertruck as he warns Tesla faces enormous production challengesEnglish191·2 years agoI actually thought this was an elaborate joke. The “Cybertruck” looks like a piece of shit, and apparently is a piece of shit.
