Windows 11 is getting out of hand with its push for advertisments, frankly - remember the recent full-screen pop-up to persuade users to install Edge or other Microsoft services? Then another advertisment was placed in the Start menu, and now Microsoft has finally worn my temper thin - with a new Game Pass ad coming to the...
I have a very slow Internet connection (5 Mbps down, and even less for upload). Given that, I always download movies at 720p, since they have low file size, which means I can download them more quickly. Also, I don't notice much of a difference between 1080p and 720p. As for 4K, because I don't have a screen that can display 4K,...
Those must be tiny screens then. 4k vs 1080p is minor in difference, even in a 77" OLED screen. There is a difference, but I can do with 1080p a lot of the times. 720p is only acceptable for older shows. Otherwise it immediately shows.
But if it's visually appealing content, then you bet I'll take the 4k stream at the highest Bitrate I can find.
That is honestly a really cool feature. I'd consider myself tech-savy-ish but I always forget what the official Revanced site is. I always have to go to the GitHub. There's so many fake Revanced sites, it's crazy!
I honestly wouldn't mind. Addictive feeds, no matter on which platform, are poison for a developing mind. The first generations that suffer from an upbringing under addictive feeds are showing apathy towards pretty much anything. And they're easily brainwashed. Just look at the EU elections. The teens prodominantly voted the far right. You dont do that if you are of sound mind.
It's a language many people understand. I mean, you have to be extremely ignorant if you think China has good privacy laws implemented. Everyone knows what a nightmare that country is in that regard, ergo no one wants to be like them.
The admin took off for a business trip and his backup forgot the password and locked himself out. Now the admin seems to have vanished and the server shit itself, making all previously posted pictures unavailable.
The solution is that a bunch of lemmings are forming a "Verein" (Kind of Like a club I suppose?) and will build an entirely new German instance.
The comments fortunately are still there, but the images are all gone. They had some trouble that was image-related which led to the server collapsing at some stage. I can't recall the specifics unfortunately.
I firmly believe that quality content needs to be paid somehow. And I'd rather not have that ad based. But I'm open to other platforms too. I'm just giving this a go and there's some good content on Nebula.
I guess NotJustBikes did a good job on advertising Nebula. Thanks for the recommendation, I'm in the mood for trying alternatives. I'm even in the mood to give Linux another go because of all the bullshit MS is pulling off again.
Your post describes exactly the state I'm in. Fuck all these greedy fucks, fuck the dumb shits that vote them, fuck the conservatives enabling these Nazi fucks.
The problem with MS is how they change these things in the future. It may be a clear choice now, but they will find a way to make it easier to "accidentally" opt in, or they'll simply change it to an opt-out. They've been doing this sort of bullshit for quite some time now.
Look, I use Microsoft products. I have since PC-DOS became MS-DOS. You are plain wrong. Just look at the whole fiasco where MS is practically forcing users to tie their windows license to an account. It used to be easy to circumvent, nowadays it's hidden like Waldo. They constantly do this shit. Stop shilling for corporations.
Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising ( www.techradar.com )
