Unless you’re using a non-Chromium browser, that is.

I pay for it because I thought it was a trustworthy service that had earnt my money. Instead, if they continue with stuff like this then I’ll go back to not trusting subscription services again.

This and the new LLM “feature” in ProtonMail suggests that someone higher up has had a sniff of the techbro kool-aid.

Absolutely delightful, thankyou!

But where do you draw the line? Don’t get me wrong, I am against the idea of, as you say, “excessive wealth extraction”. But what classes as excessive? If I ran an independent Etsy shop making cards, and I had an 80% profit margin, is that stealing?

I should also like to point out:

I define all excessive profit as stealing.

All profit is excessive by nature, isn’t it?

I would probably say fast, efficient, high-performance, or optimal, depending on context. Or just “it performs well”. But I recognise I’m in the vast minority - just one of those new words that bugs me now but I’ll eventually accept

Fine, but I’m still not happy about ‘performant’

No no, I was saying the account for my computer is local only. Steam, being a separate application, makes sense to have a separate login.

And I don’t remember anything differently… I don’t really have a horse in this race, just playing devil’s advocate.

Halo deserves a bit more than a fun action show, yaknow?

I will just say that I don’t think Steam et al. are equivalent to logging onto your device. The account I use on my computer is… just that, a local account for my computer. So, if the Quest requires some sort of authentication, why can’t it be local too?

I have the same argument with consoles as well, but at least with the Xbox One, login still isn’t required unless you’re playing digital games. You can play all the disc games you like without any account.
