Yeah but they still charged for the "upgrade". A lot of gaming companies give you the PS5 version of a game for free if you already own the PS4 version.

Turkey. I had to flee the country since I was part of the military, but whatever they're doing now is very similar to what happened there. Erdoğan has been in power since basically 2002 (and still going).

They replace the media with their followers. They replace the government with their followers. They blame minorities for all the problems and they wage war on them. They falsely claim the economy will get better (although everyone sees it's not getting any better). Then they change the constitution to allow the current power to stay in power for longer.

Everything I mentioned above is currently happening. After a while the power consolidates so much at the top that nobody can do anything about it.

That's what you would think. Like hungry people would protest or take action. But that's not how it plays out. When everyone is so busy with getting by and staying alive, nobody cares about any atrocities committed by the higher ups. I've seen many countries where the people simply ignore the craziest things their governments say or do.

Remember, they released GTAV with 30FPS first to PS5 , then they sold an upgraded PS5 version @60FPS for an additional $10 (which is free on most games).

Time to install lineage os on that bad boy

You can't. Ride the wave. If the market tumbles, everyone will suffer. Which is most likely what they want anyway, because a hungry population is much more easier to control.

This is a very basic authoritarianism playbook. I've watched my home country fall in a similar fashion. Just be mentally ready.

They just slapped an LLM which tried to replace Google Assistant where the said LLM could not even do the most basic functions like setting up an alarm.

Everyone knows by now, how much the US healthcare system sucks and tries to funnel money from people’s pockets at every chance.

How do you think this will play out in the upcoming years? Is there anything the common person can do to end this ridiculous system? Do we even have the power to change anything by asking for it in numbers?

Pixel 9 models below $600 (self.googlepixel)
submitted 5 months ago by bokherif to c/googlepixel
 

If you go to websites like Swappa right now, you can find brand new Google Pixel 9 models for less than $600. Considering Google is trying to sell these phones above $800, I think the market already decided what this series of phones should cost really.

Hi there,

I’m looking for an app with a good widget that would let me track the stocks I’ve invested in. The main issue I’m having with the system app is that the widget is limited to 6 symbols and if you are using an app to track multiple stock prices on a widget, I would love to know what you use. So far tried a few apps but had no luck. Thanks in advance.

Reddit ads between comments (self.enshittification)
submitted 6 months ago by bokherif to c/enshittification
 

Was recently browsing Reddit and noticed a new type of ad which pops up in between comments now. It used to be a few ads in between posts and you would get an ad as the top comment when you click on a post, but now they’re injecting ads in between comments when you are even scrolling comments lol. When do you think this will start having an effect on regular people? Do you think the enshittification will slow down or come to a halt if these companies start losing revenue due to lost customer base?

Any unofficial YouTube clients? (self.apple_enthusiast)
submitted 7 months ago by bokherif to c/apple_enthusiast
 

Hey folks, there are a few apps in the Android world which I use to watch YouTube without ads. Some examples are ReVanced, NewPipe etc. I was wondering if there is a similar app that I can use to fulfill the same needs such as ad blocking, downloading and viewing on iOS. Figured if anyone knew it'd be on Lemmy. Thanks in advance!

Backup filters/blocks? (self.boostforlemmy)
submitted 7 months ago by bokherif to c/boostforlemmy
 

Hey everyone,

Been using Boost for a long while now and I'm wondering if the filters/blocks I've made over the past few months persist when I install the app on a new device. I really don't want to see some communities/instances on my feed and does anyone know if this syncs with my user account? Is there a way to backup these filters I've enabled? Appreciate any response.
