thats right, the average ‘gamer’ is casual. they’ll purchase a couple games per year and maybe a handful more on special.

gaming itself is a leisure activity so when other aspects of life starts getting expensive or free time is reduced then what gets dropped first is an overpriced subscription service.

literally said at the conference last week that we don’t need people we need more agents to get rid of the people.

this cunt is high off his own supply and is barely held accountable for the contradictions he makes

starbucks has already come back to australia but not using their original aggressive expansion strategy.

i think it’s important to distinguish the difference between being critical of a subject (e.g. being judgemental) and thinking critically for oneself.

No doubt your father has a reactionary response to media because the ecosystem demands it from their audience and he now likely sits in a susceptible demographic.

Something to consider is if your father is starting to experience a cognitive decline (e.g dementia). How physically active is he? Does he have personal interests or hobbies that give him continued purpose? These play a part in how he responds to his environment and perhaps why you’ve noticed a trend among the elderly and maybe even within your own family.

if we’re assuming that they can actually achieve what they’re saying (and not doing a pump and dump) the market would have already shifted infrastructure-wise and the cost to setup would have increased.

LibreWolf is just a fork of Firefox (one of many) which tries to improve its privacy features.

I am not asking anyone to use this, just merely offering an alternate option. Everyone who accesses the internet has used a browser. What makes a difference for the average user is the GUI and UX.

If you use vanilla Firefox and don’t tweak the settings, often your DNS will be resolved by either Google, Cloudflare or your ISP.

There is no perfect solution, only optimal ones.

many people here parrot the same things relentlessly. there is no issue with choosing firefox as your primary driver. every user here can decide on what they want for themselves.

i am offering other options as the suggestions in this thread (and threads like these) are homogenous.

Firefox has telemetry settings built-in which you can switch off. LibreWolf strips the telemetry options away and focuses on obfuscating your browser fingerprint.

for those who come and read through these comments, on top of considering not using a chromium-based browser, you could also:

• configure your own DNS resolver e.g. NextDNS
• go further and use a fork of firefox e.g. librewolf

technically on par for a dystopian game

and also an allegory for transitioning
