That’s exactly what arbitrary is. It’s not for a good reason, it’s so they can push bullshit later. The limitations were chosen arbitrarily because they’re not real limitations, they’re entirely imposed by a Microsoft for their own ends. A non-arbitrary limitation is like minimum graphics card requirements for a game - won’t run without it. What do you think arbitrary means?

They’re not trying to get me to upgrade my OS, they’re trying to get me to buy a whole new fucking system for no good reason. Every last one of them can die in a fire.
And that’s before we consider that Windows 11 is actually a downgrade.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump confirms US is seeking 10% stake in Intel. Bernie Sanders approves.
2·9 months agoYou’re missing the point. The return isn’t going to go to tax payers, it’s going to go to rich people, so it’s not a return, it’s just paying rich people who weren’t even involved. Enriching the rich like everything else the republicans do.

211·9 months agoYes. Of course. Because that’s what will happen, that money will go into improving services for the public rather than being funnelled into a rich pricks pockets. Totally what will happen, no reason to doubt that whatsoever.

I actually didn’t mention my preference of web browser, I just commented on how obviously stupid you were being due to your being unable to decipher pretty simple comments. Interesting assumption to make though.

Technology@lemmy.world•The Ugly Truth About Spotify Is Finally RevealedEnglish
21·1 year agoThere are literally musicians with Only fans accounts because Spotify makes then such a pathetic amount of money. Every single artist I’ve ever seen comment on Spotify who hasn’t been amongst the most popular bands in their genre for decades have always said that Spotify is absolutely awful for artists.
Albums/singles traditionally weren’t money makers, merch and concerts were. Nobody is saying record labels weren’t and aren’t shitty, but believe it or not it’s possible for both of them to be shitty at the same time.

No, they claim it is for a good reason to excuse it so they can get away with all the stuff they want later whilst hopefully (from their perspective) making more profit now. It’s the thin end of a wedge.
Stop defending corporations for anti-consumer behaviour. You do realise that YOU are a consumer as well, right?
