Yes, once Billet changed their mind after not liking the review, they mistakenly sold it and paid them back.

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
Uhh, he promotes Linux at every step? You are free to dislike him and his content, but he’s absolutely a force for Linux adoption.
The explanation made sense to me. They found Honey was stealing from creators, but still saving money for users, so it would be very self-serving to make a fuss about it, instead they only let other creators know. From the users point of view it was still a great product (from what was known at the time).
This is true, but the CEO change had nothing to do with it. It was already happening before any of the drama, due to Linus wanting to have more time for making videos instead of having to manage the company.
That’s what most people took away from the drama. No one looked into it later to find out was made up because that’s no longer interesting. As is usually the case with Internet drama.
(Emails eventually came out showing Billet Labs told them to keep the cooler, and then lied about it)
2·3 days agoSure, but having to deal with that could certainly be annoying to someone who just wants to use the computer that’s already turned on.
Because they use the same PC?
15·3 days agoAlyx is not Half-Life 3. But that will probably be the case, yeah.
1·4 days agoIt is you who is misinformed, because they did specifically say you will be able to bypass it with ADB (which now is going to be made easier, presumably).
One place they said so is here: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/09/lets-talk-security-answering-your-top.html
That’s not a dark pattern…
I’m sure it will be like the Steam Deck, meaning you can absolutely install non Steam games on it, but they still have to work under Proton (meaning the vast majority of games work, except ones requiring kernel anti cheat).
3·5 days agoNo. The Quest runs Android.
5·6 days agoThat’s fair, but did they refuse? They offered a way that probably works fine for most people. OP did not send a reply saying they are unable to use it or indicating any problem with their response whatever, so from their point of view they successfully helped OP with their enquiry and OP did not ask for anything further.
For all we know if OP replied they can’t log in they would delete it for them no problem. Or they wouldn’t, but we don’t know that.
I don’t see how they were treated wrongly, EU citizen or not. They offer a way to delete their data, I don’t think that having to log in is an obstacle.
How does your story show that they don’t respect GDPR though? I’m not saying they do, but I don’t see it in what you wrote. You told them to delete your data and they replied that they already do when you delete your account.
Where is the problem?
2·6 days agoThe Google Play app is not on Google Play, so that question doesn’t make sense. It couldn’t add the warning to a store listing that isn’t there.
Not that anybody would see it even if it was, you are obviously not installing Google Play from Google Play.
9·11 days agoHe made a comment in a discussion, as can anyone. People disagree with his comment. Intervention my ass, all he did is express his opinion, which everyone is free to ignore.
The comment you replied to did not dispute that. They said Windows games run on Windows, not that they don’t run on Linux.
There are already ads in Google Maps, there is nothing for them to follow.
I rewatched the series finale now, and his conclusion seems as I remembered:
He didn’t even bring up his issue in the conclusion. If you can timestamp any “fuck Linux”, I would love to see it, because I really doubt he ever said that.
That being said, while it’s obviously his fault for ignoring warninigs, it’s ridiculous something as basic as installing Steam got him into that situation in the first place, it’s pop os’s fault for shipping a broken package. And yeah, things like that really don’t happen on Windows.
