I mean... I can see it both ways.

When people engage with content, they have expectations going in - they expect to know if the content is fictional, truthful, or intentionally ambiguous.

For example, if someone watches a documentary and finds out it was all made up, they'd be right to be upset, because it presents itself as honest.
Likewise if someone watches a fantasy movie, they don't have the expectation of honesty.
And if someone watches something like the Blair witch project, they go in knowing that it's dubiously truthful. It's a bit of a grey area because the deceit is part of the art.

Streaming is similar, vtubers are obviously fictional - nobody really has expectations around what they're really like.
But if someone builds a following around being authentically themselves, and then it's discovered that they're lying about significant parts of their content, I can understand some degree of outrage.

I don't really watch streamers because the dynamic between streamers and viewers seems toxic AF, where streamers are kinda forced to pander and appear personable... But I still understand being upset when you find out what you got isn't what you were sold

People are missing the more important question:
Why did she put the cucumber back in the fridge?

She hasn't been seen since her surgery a few months ago. They palace recently released a pic of her, but AP and other photo publishers had to retract it because it was obviously manipulated. It appears they photoshopped in her face from a magazine photoshoot a few years ago.

I don't usually follow this stuff, but it turns out that when a photo gets retracted it's called a "kill notice" or a "photo kill". I didn't know that, so when I saw headlines saying that AP put out a kill notice on the royal family it got my attention lol

I mean, you don't HAVE to do any of that stuff in Windows, it's just helps a bit.

I'm sure there are plenty of windows horror stories. But almost every Windows computer I've had in the last decade, both custom and OEM, has worked pretty well out of the box. And almost every Ubuntu computer I've had over the last decade has had problems that weren't trivial to fix.

I like Linux, but when people compare these problems like they're the same just are missing the point.

If your spouse was in a terrible accident during a power outage and you had to construct an alternative power source to power their life support - how would you do it?

You need to be slowly turned on a rotisserie.

FINE, I'LL DO IT.

But not because you told me to.

In the future, bots are going to get so annoyed with people pretending to be bots when they just want to talk to other bots!
