Well, at least they gained a one star review on the playstore lol

Fuck Sony, and fuck PlayStation!

I’m sure the pirate versions will still be ad-free☠️

An advertisement for an immoral and illegal logging company at that.

/s… Right?

With the recent firings and the Kushner&Saudi acquisition, I’m gonna wait for the salty waters⛵

The ratings on googlemaps are known to be tampered with. I worked in a restaurant and my boss took down 1 star reviews weekly, by just sending a “non-relevant information” report on the unfavorable reviews. It sits at 4.8 currently…

I hope this gives the boost Xbox needs to stomp playstation into the ground once the dickless ps6 releases. Not that I’m ever going back to consoles.

You just add it “on top” of the original OS. Here’s the video I followed (it’s hard to follow at points, but doable)

I’ve added KOReader on mine, it works flawless.

The reviewers say that even though it’s cheap, it’s FULL of microtransactions. Is that true?

About 4 years ago, when we had a massive heatwave, we’ve bought an aircon without a second thought. We don’t want kids anyway, and if the rich and wealthy are hellbent on destroying the planet anyway, I’m gonna at least live out my days in relative comfort.

This is the level of a petty 7 year old ffs…

Finally some normal fines instead of pocket-change amounts…

Wanted to buy a Fairphone 6, but they wouldn’t issue a company invoice without me registering my company to the EU Database, thus changing the whole taxation category for my finances only to be able to buy their phone. If I’m willing to pay premium-price for a mid-range phone, I’d expect a bit better customer support from them, but I guess that’s that. Ended up buying a different phone instead, for third of the price.

To the high seas we go!

Also technological innovation kinda halted in the recent years. That’s why you see everything being filled with unnecessary AI in the name of technological advancement. If there’s no innovation for growth, all that remains is to extract more value from existing platforms, hence the current enshittification of everything.

Just shutdown my PS5 for good until it will be moddable, and upgraded my mid-tier PC and switched to Bazzite to use it as a game console. After getting used to the new OS, everythings been flawless so far, I’m happy I’ve made the switch.
