I'm surprised Microsoft still hasn't put actual Minecraft on Steam.
Nice, I've been meaning to check out Cookie Cutter. Might as well add more stuff to the backlog while I'm at it.
lol, maybe -> would've come across better
definitely not greater than
Google -> DuckDuckGo, sometimes fall back to Startpage if DDG has bad results
Discord -> I use Discord, but incredibly rarely. Haven't bothered finding an alternative
Windows -> Linux, obviously
Whats App -> Signal
iCloud -> Selfhosted storage + Proton Drive
I don't want anything like TikTok, Instagram, or the rest of them, so I don't use those or their alternatives.

It's insane to me that this is a hill Sony is willing to die on. So much goodwill to throw away just to collect a bit more data on users.
Just remember, if they're willing to enforce this nonsense, you can be sure that there will be more nonsense to come. "Sorry everyone, Sony decided we need lootboxes! But our team is on the side of the players!"
I hate modern AAA games, I'm gonna go try out that new Stardew Valley update.
To play devil's advocate, it's not the slightest bit hard to see why. I'd almost be curious to see it happen.
The concerns of data collection and privacy are 110% valid, but it's not like domestic cars are any better. It's a Facebook/TikTok situation, do you want American companies doing super shady shit with your data, or do you want Chinese companies doing super shady shit with your data?
Do you want GM doing shady shit with your data or do you want BYD doing shady shit with your data? Either way, one data leak is all it takes for everyone to have access to your data.
The difference between the two scenarios is that you don't need to use social media. Many Americans need a car due to our garbage public transport and non-walkable cities.
If actual competition is what it takes to make the American auto industry give a shit, then fuck it, let's see what happens. If they can't compete on price, then compete on privacy. Sell a dumb EV with physical dials and switches. I'd buy the more expensive car that doesn't track everything I do.
Is this an irresponsible take that ignores long term consequences? Probably, but that's the strategy for most companies nowadays and we need more EVs on the road ASAP (among a million other things to slow climate change).
Nio has seemingly been successful with battery swap stations in their cars, so luckily the concept hasn't been completely abandoned.

I'm trying to sneak around, but I'm dummy thicc and the clap of my asscheeks keeps alerting the earthlings.
