A garage door opener is simply a machine so a shorter name could be “rage against the machine.”

Wait…

Not to excuse this sort of behaviour, but at least they’re honest enough to say it’s about the money, instead of hiding behind excuses like “bUt sEcuRiTy vUlNeRaBiLiTieS”.

We need laws to prevent this kind of anti-consumer bullshit (yeah I know, a pipe dream) and for people to simply not give Haier their money, or data.

Anyone who’s waiting on BG3 to be cheaper or GOTY edition or whatever, try Divinity: Original Sin 2. It’s amazing, and the definitive edition is only $13.50 USD right now. No need to have played the first one - I never did and D:OS2 is probably one of my favourite games of all time now.

I’ve downloaded it on two devices already. It’s on the Starfield - Standard Edition page, not the premium edition one. The usual play button will say “Pre-load install”.

This is exactly why I’ve never played a Monster Hunter game, despite how fun it looks.

I don’t want to hunt the monster, I want to be the monster. Or at least befriend it and help take down the rude humans constantly trying to stab it.

As far as I can tell I think it does require a separate login. I’m still relatively new to the fediverse and had a friend recommend squabbles, but I’ve already made an account here so have been trying to figure this out too tbh. Hopefully someone can correct me if it is possible.

If you’re coming over from reddit, try https://sub.rehab/

It lists most of the popular subs and their fediverse equivalents. E.g. the community you’re looking for sounds like Reddit’s r/showerthoughts, which has

https://kbin.social/m/showerthoughts

https://lemmy.world/c/showerthoughts

https://squabbles.io/s/showerthoughts

communities in the fediverse.

Even if you haven’t used reddit, a lot of the sub names are pretty self-explanatory apart from some of the cryptic/memey named ones.

I’m a few months, there will be at least a 50% chance that comment or post you are replying to is a bot.

It already feels this way. A lot of them are the most basic comments or don’t make any sense at all.

And the IPO itself is a bad sign no matter who’s in charge. It means the company will be shareholder-driven, and so aiming for maximum profit (or just straight up not operating at a loss to start with). Line must always go up, so when things start to stagnate, or they reach saturation, more and more bold anti-consumer decisions will be made to extract higher profits. See Netflix and their crackdown on password-sharing.

It may not happen straight away, but it will eventually.
