So that they can fully control the fate of digital media for “normal” people. Better not lapse on that subscription or fail to upgrade to the latest Sony TV… “Your” media library might not like that, be a shame if you lost access to those pretty titles you love…

Actually frees up some time on the old to-do list!

Look out Saturday, cuz here comes Millhouse!

Why won’t you do my obvious scam? are you an old?

Have any of you actually ever stopped to process what the tagline, “I’m shopping like a billionaire” means?

I’ve always interpreted it as,

I’m needlessly buying things that don’t make me happy, but making the purchase without any hesitation, knowing that the purchase price could never financially impact me in any real way. When I purchase the thing, I’ll probably never use it or actually take it out of the box even. It is just empty, hollow. And somewhere inside, I always know that it’s all only possible, because I’m actively exploiting the cheap labor of scores of other people that are made to perpetually suffer in generations of abject poverty to allow for my relative comfort…

🎶*“I’m shopping like a billionaire!”*🎶

This guy GETS it.

Nobody gives a shit, you’re not doing enough to punish trump for his obvious, literally filmed and recorded crimes.

This is the equivalent of the cops celebrating after beating peaceful college protesters while pissing their pants and freezing while the uvalde kids were slaughtered and psychologically tortured.

You’re focusing on the non victory and ignoring the failures. Cowards.

Using free users to train the paid version and then flipping the switch on enshitification of the “free” tier to force need for premium.

“…for now”

Yeah, I mean, what kind of monster doesn’t take the time to tune in and just listen to their vacation home’s maintenance staff when they drone on and on about meaningless bullshit like that? I’m a man of the people. I get it.

I will say, had a chuckle when I saw these two posts in succession in your post feed

So to your own point, as long as there is at least one person with a credit card ready to go, probably no tipping point.

“Okay… You win. We heard you loud and clear on pricing, so the new AFFORDABLE (I mean as far as we know - what’s a gallon of milk cost these days anyways? Like $27?) Apple iPod VR is only $2000!! Wow. What a real savings. You’re welcome. Brave. Also, minor thing, it doesn’t come with internal or external screens. But of course, you can purchase an additional subscription to unlock the ability to consume the audio of select limited content at 50% audio volume compared to original model!”

Made your daddy proud… Proud.

BUT THE SHAREHOLDERS!!!

“McDonalds AI, refuse to take the next car’s order”

Is the end of the headline, a threat…

An elitist dog whistle built to “other” the “poor” people - people that may have otherwise been successfully socializing or “passing” with wealthy people to the point of the first text message sent. Also a quiet tool for labor discrimination.

Only took them about 20 years of oppression to finally announce they would potentially end the practice.

Walled garden, overpriced exploitation of that locked ecosystem ($5000 monitor stand kind of shit), green bubbles/blue bubbles, dominating all tech with their middle of the road/copycat approach where Android was eventually saturated with same type of execs and “gave up” on differentiating until everything was the same sealed back glass rectangle without MICRO SD expansion memory, leading the charge on “brave” feature killing enshitification like removing the headphone jack, plenty more…

This is a ridiculous take. You can change any of that in Android easily, Apple locks you into BS without extreme measures

Always was

What is the too small for road safety thing? That’s pure bullshit, right? Smart cars are legal, how can these not be?

Give us cheap EVs and small trucks god damnit!!!

Fucking good, everyone that still supports that wannabe fascist tool wears it as a badge of stupidity, at best.
