This time really is different because windows is ending updates for windows 10 in 2025 AND they will not allow many computers to upgrade to windows 11, your only choice is to buy a new computer, which obviously isn’t an option for everyone.
I built my gaming PC in 2017 and it still runs all the games and editing programs I want, but it is not eligible to upgrade to W11 because their DRM won’t work on my processor.
I just use Google one click sign in, no phone number required.
I don’t think we are a minority at all. Look at any admin communication and all you see are complaints related to the changes. https://lemmy.world/post/1796444
R/place will increase their traffic no matter what. At least the picture can convey the protest message so they know we aren’t going to move past it that easily. Plus, keeping r/place open all day is increasing their server costs while providing no ad revenue. I don’t go to reddit other than to spread to good word of Lemmy and to downvote admins so I think that has more benefit to us than to them.
Flappy bird was a remake of the helicopter game, so in a way it never really went away.
