Majority of the shit that they’re touting as ‘new’, have already been done in past Windows OSes.

Widgets? Vista did that. Touchscreen? Windows 8 did that. Search? Really, fucking search? All Windows OSes did that. Paint? Are they fucking serious?

Same. I’m looking around at the KBin instance and it’s in bad shape, some of the communities are in. The admin is MIA due to IRL issues with health so he can’t be around to help. Moderators are abandoning already weakened communities that are now stuffed with bots and spam content.

The only real lively community is over in Lemmy’s instances. But, the Fediverse still yet has a long ways to go, it needs more maturity as an alternative and needs more time to gather membership that’ll hopefully be comparable to reddit’s but not in quantity but quality.

Don’t you fucking disregard Paint…

NOBODY ignores Paint.

Hm, glad I was informed that my Twitch account was deleted a week ago.

looks at RES in hopes they have much longer

There’s some people on here trying to make Lemmy like Reddit was when Reddit’s idea of communicating in 2016 and onwards.

Let’s not let that happen.

Fuck you Intuit. Ha, what’re you going to do now? Sue the IRS?

Narrator: They will try.

For all we know, could be some fat teenager doing it for the “lulz” or just “winning” by owning them libs.

One would and wouldn’t be surprised. I just abandoned a texas poker app on mobile and it’s sickening to see how many people pay up cheaters just to get billions and even a trillion chips. Then I see them on the table and they always win.

And once news stopped covering it, that’s when shit hit the fan.

And they’ll probably be killed and that’ll be that. Yay, China… /s

God damn, seems like everyone tried so hard to be AVGN all of a sudden.

I would’ve loved to have a paypal alternative if so many damn services would adopt them.

And no I’m not talking Google Pay or Apple Pay. They’re just as bad.

If PayPal is doing it, so fucking will they too.

I wouldn’t be surprised, because it’s happened before, that the Internet Archive has been attacked legally by copyright firms for what is hosted there. Like music, games and books in particular.

So it’s likely that it isn’t suits attacking Internet Archive for this reason, it’s presumably a mixed batch of copyright trolls and spiteful shitty human beings with too much time on their hands.

Someone is really trying to recreate the Burning of Alexandria. Can we be certain that Internet Archive and Wikipedia (as awful of a shit place that can be) are going to stand the test of time at this rate?

Tough shit. Someone needs to enjoy the games.

And who says you have to notify Valve with what you do to your account?

Out of everything we have today, Discord is arguably the best we’ve got.

Nobody cares about Skype anymore as much. VK Messenger, which is ICQ’s successor, looks like trash. Telegram used to be very great but did take some morally questionable steps, yet still gives the user an awful lot of power. Zoom is garbage. Microsoft Teams is garbage. Facebook Messenger is garbage.

So if I had to pick, Discord and Telegram is the best we’ve got now.

Yahoo! Messenger shut down in 2018
MSN Messenger discontinued in 2013
AIM Messenger discontinued in 2017

ICQ was really the last of them and it’s ending quite an era. This is, officially, the end of the Messengers.

Hope nobody more valuable than their dumb CEO is injured.

Fuck Musk.
