More tech bros making bank from crimes. Lovely

Or just switched

It’s no different to riding a horse. Drunk riding is a thang

Meh its a seriously dated OS thats had layers of lipstick added onto the turd all the while gaslighting its customers while stealing from them.

Its beyond insecure, hasn’t innovated in a long time and their answer to this? Online accounts and slop to steal more customer data…

Stockholm syndrome in PCs is very real.

Time to regulate the shit out of them. They don’t know what consent is, they flaunt the abuse of privacy laws.

Microsoft slop OS with slop 365 subscription for only $19/month.

don’t stoop to ad-hominem

At this point Ad-hominem is practically the nice name for the business model “enshitification”.

Reasonable.

Welcome to Britain

That includes lithium comically

Don’t call it “sideloading” it’s a negative term attempting to rebrand installing any app you want: taboo and illegal by effect. Call it what it is, installing apps. Thats it.

They are the security risks

Very impressive on all fronts!

Utterly amazing! Congratulations! Incredibly jealous.

I know this is off topic however not sure how else to communicate the question. Is lemmynsfw down completely? Past 2 days Cloudflare is reporting host offline?

End users… … aren’t paying shit

Users dont pay for the services. Okaay.

Well done you know how sales tax works. Customers pay the business. Business pays the Government. My point.

Swing and a miss on all points.

FYI I used the common terms for your benefit, you sounded American.

your opposition is just based on vibes

Call things what they are, not a tax.

You should practice it.

Levy is a Tax.

opposition requires

Absolute bollocks. Doesn’t require anything. It only requires personal opinion. Parliament runs on it.

Of course the privacy impact is huge. privacy just does not matter to the average working voting person trying to put groceries on the table.

MPs wont change the stance here because people want to be protected by anonymity. Frankly they won’t change stance at all. Its a certainty at this point.

But it will increase the cost of business which will be passed on and definitely exploited.

“Wont somebody think of the children”

Plenty of children starving in the UK because Government services cant raise revenue to maintain existing levels of public services.

I look to the UK and see the future of western economies. Boned badly, society highly controlled with a large overall tax burden, years of immigration to keep the budget balaced on paper increasing the impact all to delay the fallout. And yes while this will most likely not register a blip to the CPI, its still yet another cut in the wrong direction.

Levy, lol.

Call it what it is: a tax.

A burden on the population. No amount of dirty politics changes the fact. Taxes do not all get directly paid to gavernment. Like sales taxes, service tips ect.
