  • I appreciate that, and if a fake email works then I’ll happily give them that. But that’s it.

    If I need to sign up with a real address, click a verification link, unsubscribe (possibly a few times) and remember what I gave them the next time they put up a login: No.

    And if I’m not being “provided” with the story until I submit to a EULA or whatever, it is NOT being “freely provided”.

    Hell, we’ll give you this lovely home in a wonderful city for free! Terms and conditions may apply.









  • Microsoft’s vise grip on the delicate bits of clueless paper-pushers continues unabated.

    Their products have never been “good”. In a best case scenario they didn’t actively destroy the work that was being done with them.

    The reason they are a behemoth, besides being openly a monopoly, was their laser focus on baffling executives with bullshit and hiding any gruesome facts they were forced to reveal in the tiniest print EULAs anyone has ever not seen.

    I see EU is just as susceptible to it, and that is truly sad.
