This is being reported poorly. This is a voluntary program that is intended for social media brand embassadors, aka, the people who go out and rep a brand. It makes sense to include some language requiring someone prepping your brand to show preferable to it.

How does that make any sense? Does Microsoft get a cut of sales for component upgrades?

This seems like a run of the mill news attempt at controversy for attention. None of the “controversies” mentioned are particularly egregious. I don’t think Mr beast needs me to defend him but the reactions to this seem way more extreme than the problems themselves.

How many of us know all of our friends and colleagues well ebough to know every dirty secret they have? If one of my friends were a pedophile but kept it well hidden, how am I to be held responsible for their actions when I didn’t know?

An inexperienced production crew doesn’t provide the best working conditions for a reality and stunt show? Color me surprised. Television has had shows that put people in danger for years, even from very experienced crews.

I know just about every one of us likely did or said something that was really, really stupid when we were teens. Turns out teenagers don’t have fully developed brains and don’t make the best decisions. Holding someone accountable for saying something dumb as a child, that they have publically apologized for later, seems like people going out of their way to find fault.

Guess we all missed the joke, sorry fam

I have never once received one of these messages. Doesn’t happen to everyone.

Some people just live in anger, don’t they?

I think flossing twice is too much, unless you consume a lot of sugary drinks I guess. I typically do it once before bed and find my teeth feel fine throughout the day

Edit: not a dentist just lazy

I think there’s a happy middle ground where deletion just disassociates the comment with you. It will show (deleted) or something but the original text remains.

Maybe there should be exclusions for personal or identifying information in such a system.

The loud minority is really loud.

I’m with you on this. I prefer a dimly lit light mode to dark mode even at night. The white text always seems fuzzy and uncomfortable for me.

For me, the game was very boring and lacked any real challenge. I found myself forcing myself to beat it around halfway through, which did not add to the fun.

Windows 11 seems to be fine, despite everyone whining constantly.

The ads everyone cries about? Can be disabled with a single option.

Slowness? Haven’t experienced it.

11 didn’t introduce anything, for me, that I couldn’t already do. Some of the desktop management features aren’t that bad and the UI is fine I guess. If you don’t like it, turns out it’s pretty easy to replace with a different shell.

Privacy concerns are pretty legitimate, but with about as much effort as getting a Linux distro set up and working you can lock that stuff down.

Is the capitalism in the room with you right now?

Damn dude, capitalism isn’t the boogeyman you can’t just blame everything bad on it lol

I read on my phone using Tachij2k

If the rise of LLMs to the mainstream has taught me anything, it’s that artists are very whiny bunch who vastly over value themselves.

Not too different from ticketmaster at that point lol

Meant to keep you distracted

From what?

My brain also takes information and creates derivative works from it.

Shit, am I also a data thief?

You could just keep the door closed

He was jumping to make sure the driver wasn’t okay.
