No bedframe, no nightstand, only one monitor and it's tiny as hell

This looks like a prison, get me out

Counter-suggestion (and this applies to everyone with an Android regardless of gender dating anyone else regardless of gender), do use your Android phone in front of your date because that weeds out psychos who would reject you over not owning their preferred product.

I don't think it's Linux.

I think Tim Sweeney is just like all of the big publicly traded companies where they do not want the best thing for their customers and only want to control them.

Valve, and thus Gabe Newell, is actually making pro-consumer choices, which is success that Tim Sweeney wants.

I think the grudge is against Gabe Newell and Valve.

There is a chance that Tim Sweeney would actively shit on Linux anyway, since that would reduce control over consumers (and yes with all of the deceptive practices Epic does and how they fight lawsuits in court, they definitely are not trying to give control to the users).

Fortnite loads fine on Linux but closes after reaching the main menu. It doesn't crash, it closes. They're actively blocking the community from self-supporting.

Even when I'm not active on Lemmy, I am not on Reddit.

If I ever need information from Reddit (unfortunately there is still a lot of information only on Reddit...), Wayback machine I go.

Even if me requesting that Wayback machine archive a page, once it's saved we don't need to give reddit anymore clicks, Wayback machine gets the clicks instead. It's better than losing information outright.

... Only a free month? After cleaning up brains? I hope there was also some pay for therapy.

Don't forget that when you search you also need to wade through AI-generated SEO trash that doesn't actually tell you which service it's on.

Boo fucking hoo. Mozilla isn't a saint and could benefit from a shake up as well. Mozilla's dependency on Google is dangerous for all of us.

The biggest loser if the DOJ doesn't win is literally everyone.

I will bite whatever bullet I have to if it means the end of Google hegemony.

I actually work harder (in general) than before because now I don't have to commute, 1-2 hours more a day I can spend getting stuff done

Except Standard Oil has been broken up 13 years earlier and 1924 was smack in the middle of Prohibition and the illegal transportation of alcohol was called bootlegging. Both the breakup of Standard Oil and the alcohol ban are written down in legal documents, so we can confirm their existence wasn't sensationalized.

Bootlegging would be the only part that could have been sensationalized, but I see how people drink today and I don't think thousands of years of human behavior with alcohol was sensationalized, leading me to a conclusion that we as a society wouldn't just give up alcohol for a decade, bootlegging was almost certainly not sensationalized.

If the contemporary context wasn't the above, I might have agreed with the implication of sensationalization. Due to that contemporary context however it doesn't read like that.

I dropped my sub. Was paying roughly $7.50/mo for 2 years for the legacy bundle and they nearly tripled it to $18.99/mo.

Of all my streaming services, I literally do not watch ESPN, and barely use Hulu and Disney. I could justify $7.50 by stretching the definition of justification, but $18.99 is more than I pay for streaming services I use regularly.
