you made me go look, but you are correct.

 

IIRC, Microsoft paid 5 billion USD for Mojang several years ago now. They've added tons of mtx to bedrock (and neglected Java because it's harder to monetize I guess)

Then there's story mode and dungeons.

But 5 billion is/was a lot. Do you think they've brought in that much since taking over?

1.5 years of learning unity gone down the shitter. here I come, godot

even if they backtrack, trust is ruined at this point. this only makes sense if you're trying to destroy the company intentionally and short your stock on the way out. what the fuck

from the article:

"To be clear, the end of servicing applies to drivers provided via Windows Update. Manufacturers will, according to Microsoft, "need to provide customers with an alternative means to download and install those printer drivers."

so no, this is click bait for what amounts to a nothingburger

not sure how it works really, I had to create an app API key and input that into revanced and it just worked. I just followed the steps it was pretty easy.

can't log in, but participating there is pointless anyway

yes, without an account just for local/niche subs that don't exist anywhere else

and that only because I have rif working via revanced.

if I am ever forced to see their shitty ads I'll stop doing even that

if you have the app installed on your Android phone, I have had good success with this "apk extractor" app

this seems like a great way to get your username taken on a bunch of other instances too

it is still a state case and would not be eligible for a federal pardon. the main advantage for these guys is that the jury would be pulled from that entire federal district rather than just from the city of Atlanta, meaning more rural hillbillies which increases the chance of a sympathetic jury

this shitstain has always done whatever the fuck he wants regardless of what his lawyers and other experts are telling him. he's fired countless lawyers because they wouldn't perjure themselves etc. for him

the fact that he's now suddenly taking the advice of his lawyers is telling.

this guy is afraid

“The growth of the Internet will slow drastically, as the flaw in ‘Metcalfe’s law’—which states that the number of potential connections in a network is proportional to the square of the number of participants—becomes apparent: most people have nothing to say to each other! By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet’s impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine’s.”

-Paul Krugman
