Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising (www.techradar.com)

Windows 11 is getting out of hand with its push for advertisments, frankly - remember the recent full-screen pop-up to persuade users to install Edge or other Microsoft services? Then another advertisment was placed in the Start menu, and now Microsoft has finally worn my temper thin - with a new Game Pass ad coming to the...

Meanwhile I would pray they would while I am so my family can get that good money lol

LifeOfChance ,

I hate how accurate you are. There's no other reason it would be government backed ESPECIALLY during war time where they're pissing money away and losing their soldiers left and right without be able to fill the open spots.

LifeOfChance ,

I don't think that it's forgotten I think it's a great representation of flipping the roles around. Instead of leaving out LGBTQ+ they chose to have straight be the other this time.

LifeOfChance ,

Ya frankly if they're just taking corporations and not mom and pop shops I ain't seeing anything.

LifeOfChance ,

How else am I to tell the difference between a full size and select a size? I buy full size for the garage and select a size for the house they serve two purposes so eliminating the standard size wouldn't be the solution.

LifeOfChance ,

I don't like you.

Reddit has been the same since day one. You're just being dramatic. They had plenty of stupid and off the wall shit that went just as this has. You're being ridiculous old timer.

    Question, would this make being sick and congested better? Could you keep your nose clean of the stuff you can't blow out normally? Or is that a closed sinus issue

    LifeOfChance ,

    Bicycle trailers are a thing for a reason. I'm sure hauling a washer and dryer would be difficult but a sofa is easily achievable. For heavy stuff most places offer delivery for free or really cheap

    LifeOfChance ,

    Genuinely curious, is there any major tech companies that haven't done this? Our info is plastered everywhere nowadays due to this type of crap.

    Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time?

    I'm sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I'm sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I'm sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it's been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one back?

    LifeOfChance ,

    If and of, in and on, so and no, these words keep getting corrected for eachother when it shouldn't. I've tried resetting auto correct to make sure I didn't teach it to do that.

    LifeOfChance ,

    This is the most logical next step. Probably 3m, 6m,12m to make it somewhat affordable to do in single larger payments.

    LifeOfChance ,

    There's a big difference though. Making people yell is not the same as an ad being shown similar to a screen saver. Hard to believe but most people will just not care and those who do won't care enough to do much about it. There's a reason ads have become to main stream and normal they're yielding results the companies want.

    A great example of how the mass majority of people not caring is look at the reaction to password sharing. Sure many people made a stink yet every single on of the platforms saw growth.

    LifeOfChance ,

    There is a randomly generated password you get when you freeze it. DONT LOSE IT!! Its a bitch to recover if you do. One of them gives you a list of like 25 different ones you can use (you just type one of the 25 from the list)

    LifeOfChance ,

    Honestly I think a big part of people looking at headlines and pictures is closely related to people's attention span. Why read many words when less is better. Those same people can't hold conversations for more than a minute or two on the subject then it spirals into speculations which is where the misinformation starts to take place. Society is bombarded with so much information hour by hour people don't want to miss anything so they skim through an immense amount of partial information. It's wild and I'm guilty of it myself so I'm in no place to speak ill of anyone.

    LifeOfChance ,

    Then what is your plan to learn about upcoming things like the new pampers absorption technology 4.0.1?!

    LifeOfChance ,

    TikTok is just pushing advertisements and people who promote their shop. In-between you have 2 or 3 videos where it's on of the few trends going around.

    LifeOfChance ,

    Did you really need to splurg on the Thomas bagel thins vs great value?!

    /s

    I'm joking that's mental

    LifeOfChance ,

    I wish you were right. Instead what we will likely see is an increase in year to year E-waste until the majority is phased out into land fills.

    LifeOfChance ,

    There's people who didn't know? Netflix paved the way for this

    LifeOfChance ,

    Was it your or you're 8 year old who was just trying to watch some cartoons? 🤔

    You are right there is something coming though

    LifeOfChance ,

    Collecting animals against their wills and forcing them to fight each other with guns then collecting their fluids and oils

    First time in 15y I had issues.

    What can you get to within a 15-minute walk of your house?

    A recent YouGov survey asked Americans what they think they should be able to get to within a 15-minute walk of their house.

    Of these choices, I can currently walk to all of them from my apartment, aside from a university (no biggie, I'm not currently studying, although there is a Tafe within walking distance), a hospital, and a sports arena.

    How many can you get to with a 15 minute walk from your house?

    Lots of gas stations have a food menu now and things to grab late at night or when you don't want a full store.

    LifeOfChance ,

    I'm guessing because they haven't been paid their share of the profits and savings. FTC only cares about themselves nothing more.

    LifeOfChance ,

    It's used as a source of income for a lot of people. It's easy to group everyone and say they deserve all that happens but take a minute and consider those who are struggling and it's their only way to find work and others are just trying to stay afloat in the sinking economy

    LifeOfChance ,

    I haven't used prime in idk how long. 2 day shipping hasn't been 2 days or even 4 days in years now. Every order with or without prime is at least a week. The only reason I use Amazon is ordering odd ball stuff you can't find in a store or the price difference is substantial enough to justify. I never need to pay for shipping since if I'm ordering it's a bulk order of stuff I need and it's free shipping over $25. I hate Amazon but i also gotta get by some how

    LifeOfChance ,

    Nah, delivering better food is a loss

    LifeOfChance ,

    I hear this argument frequently but I'm curious how often does this happen to you where you need assistance? I've used SCO for as long as it's been around and I could probably count on 1 hand missing some fingers where I needed help. Sure back in the day with the faulty scales that kept tripping it was rough but manageable. I don't say any of this with malice I'm just curious if it's you or if you speak of a lot of people. If it's the later wouldn't it just make sense that maybe all the people struggling may just have difficulties with technology as a whole and not just the SCO?

    I truly mean no ill intent or hatred as I ask these types of questions as a way to learn and grasp the realities of others since no one person can know and see all.

    LifeOfChance ,

    This is my biggest gripe with lemmy. A MASSIVE amount of links I try to follow is just paywalls or so damn bloated with garbage it isn't worth the effort

    LifeOfChance ,

    I mean this wholeheartedly and by no means do I mean to be rude or snarky. I'm glad that works for you but unfortunately there is a ton of us who have to use it for a huge list of things. I personally use it to learn how to fix or make things because for me I need a video for it. I use a bunch of work arounds and such but eventually this will become a bigger issue. Soon embedded videos will stop working for news websites and such at this rate.

    LifeOfChance ,

    I completely agree. Personally the video I saw wasn't 100% convincing mostly speculation however it shared some other points about how websites will start doing what YouTube is doing so they don't suffer the wrath of YouTube messing with their videos. I wish I knew how to find the video I saw on tiktok they had a YouTube channel I can't remember. I hate being THAT guy talking about videos without the link...
