Yeah, imagine if it was watermelons and the sign mentioned black people instead. Harmless, but no one would write that.
If you choose to do a task manually over and over instead of automating it, you might as well go dig ditches and hammer nails.
I don’t care if they pull the plug on Twitter. My point was that if the EU bans one website, it sets a precedent for the future where it’s easier to do it again.

Nowadays you don’t usually even get to own the game after purchase.
It’s a cancer on humanity. Nowadays you have to pay extra if you want for example a keyboard without the pointless rainbow lights.

Heck, even electronic voting systems in the US is closed-source.
How can elections even be trusted to be fair in that case?

Is it that the decade of 0% interest rates and angel funding for startups lulled us into unrealistically thinking we could get unlimited everything for 9.99 per month, or is it that companies are suddenly starting to rip off people?
As an end consumer it’s impossible to gauge what is a proper price for entertainment.
This fight was lost decades ago, but I understand.
You’ll get it once you grow out of your teens and a decade or two has passed.
