As long as they don’t use exactly the same words in the book, yeah, as I understand it.

AllYouPlay and another online game store wouldn’t let me register with a protonmail address

There were 2 online game stores that wouldn’t allow me to register with a protonmail account, AllYouPlay and another one that I can’t recall, which was weird to me

Some sites and services won’t accept accounts with e-mails outside of the mainstream ones though.

I would legit use it. For-profit dating sites suck

I’d prefer no implants ever if I can help it. I’d only be fine with one if it saved my life. Otherwise, there are just too many things that can go wrong with it in ways our current technology can’t. You can go off-grid now if you get sick of tech, but that becomes infinitely harder if you have a chip in your brain

I’ve been using Discord almost since launch, and in that time, not a single feature did I find as an important addition to the program. It is now much more bloated with unnecessary stuff, stuff for which they paid those talented devs you mention.

I would have been perfectly content with a one-time payment to use it and it would have worked perfectly well for them with that model if they didn’t get greedy and want to stuff it with random junk to justify a subscription.

I don’t mind paying as long as it’s not a subscription scam for no reason at all.

Wdym? Your user’s personal info and data is the most important thing to archive, isn’t it? /S

This is getting closer and closer to a monopoly. It won’t end well

Oh you sweet summer child

Exactly. So I wouldn’t trust anyone with the power to dictate which websites you can visit and which you can’t

Whoever chooses which sites get banned from the internet has a whole load of power. They could feasibly, in time, become corrupt and end up banning threats to corporate monopolies, like the Fediverse.

I use them to make worksheets for middle school students and to quickly write lesson plans from ideas.

You should research this a bit more because ironically more people get exposed to radiation in the coal industry than in nuclear, percentage wise. Also I live in Eastern Europe and all game is safe to eat.

I don’t want to use Facebook on my phone. I just need to talk to people on there that refuse to use other apps.

Same. Just have to hold out until the EU makes all messaging apps cross+operable and then I’ll be able to talk to everyone again.

Genuinely ignorant, what wrong with Al-Jazeera? Sure, it’s biased on some topics, but aren’t all news sources?

Would it be feasible to fork the internet if this comes to pass?

Literally the only point of advertising is to manipulate people into buying stuff. I don’t need your product, I don’t want your product, and I hate it when you shove it in my face exclusively for your own profit.

If I decide I want something, I go looking for it.

Same. I feel like this will just push me offline. I refuse to relinquish control over my system.
