The same people who hate Microsoft and such are the same that tweaked/hacked the poo poo out of Windows 7 and all its processes and features etc to free up like .00001% ram

Opening a swanky overpriced burger joint is just like a club. Keep a queue outside and you'll have droves of people lining up

Yeah ublock is dope It's funny how anytime a really good product like that comes out you know they're gonna sell out eventually and go against what the whole point of the program was Like I remember all those good free PDF readers I've been using over the years that just slowly turned to poo poo and the free spyware cleaners that eventually add spyware themselves, etc I can't think of any other good examples but yeah

God damnit that was the other example I couldn't think of! I remember that whole scandal where it was installing spyware and the dude took all the pertinent screenshots and they still lied through their teeth about it You guys remember that lame rear end Facebook alternative that was popular for a month that took pride in not being ran by a corporation and having no ads and data mining etc. I wonder if they sold out yet

King Vidiot posted:It's probably because the sad truth is that people making altruistic programs that do useful poo poo out of the goodness of their hearts still have to eat and pay bills, and they can't devote thousands of hours upgrading their software without getting paid at some point. And even if they can, chances are some greedy gently caress or multiple greedy fucks will pounce on the Good Free App and offer a ton of money to the programmer who will immediately sell it off for a ton of money. The greedy gently caress(s) will then make a ton of money for the first few months until everybody gets fed up with the adware and spyware and then they'll migrate to another program that's similar but ad free. Oh you better believe I'd sell out for enough money as well. It's just that with programs like that it's not a matter of if but when

is ccleaner just bloated as poo poo now and keeping with the theme of the things we are discussing in this thread? What's the alternative?Fiend posted:Yelp is firing all their Literary Science majors, their research department is probably next. I hate the company as a whole and their shady tactics but is there really any alternative?

Solice Kirsk posted:The point of the app is to make app money. So no, that's exactly what the app is for. so did yelp start out that way or? I mean obviously money talks and once it blew up they knew they could just make a killing being predatory on small business' I'm surprised a worthwhile contender hasn't came up yet besides Google reviews. Which yeah doesn't really get used I love the little "we NEVER charge to alter reviews" spiel they do/did on the main page or whatever Any worthwhile spyware/virus to run 24/7? Even any point anymore? Is the built in Windows defender good enough? I know AVG and avast were good once upon a time but probably bloated and shady as poo poo now

I just use Yelp if I'm looking for something niche or somewhere in unfamiliar. I ignore any review below 4 really unless they don't even have that "Excellent food and service. That said there was some flies on the patio where we were eating. If I could give negative stars I would, 0 stars"

lmao it's 2016 which one of you losers still willingly listen to the radio I mean really I mean I did in the 90s because there wasn't any other alternative and even then it sucked. Even in a population dense area your options are always oldies, a rock station, and that rock station with the zany host(s). Even then I knew it sucked and the commercials were obnoxious and way too frequent Or I guess you guys love the sick pranks they pull on people's spouses in the AM
