Microsoft Store needing my microphone... for what?

The other day, I had to purchase something on the Microsoft Store... This popup came up asking me for microphone permission.
Why, the fuck, would the Microsoft Store need the microphone? Come on... this thing is getting very insulting.

retoor retoor

Yeah, it is crazy. For me it is very degrading if I have to make a video for the bank again. What the actual fuck. And now companies are implementing passport requirements and stuff that have the same degrading shit making degrading shit the standard. Just how reporting and blocking etc became default at sites now.

> 'For me it is very degrading if I have to make a video for the bank again.'.

One of the companies to which I applied had this shit during recruitment. I was desperate for a job, so I went through that shit process... felt dirty afterwards, though.

Yeah. Some people have a weird desire for that. The internet worked fine before that got implemented.

Estonian Defense Minister Resigns Over 70 Million Euro Waste of Ukraine Aid

Estonia's Minister of Defense Hanno Pevkur has announced his resignation after it emerged that his ministry transferred 70 million euros of EU funds intended for Ukraine to companies that had never previously sold an artillery shell.

Estonian public broadcaster ERR revealed that the government...

The idiot that had spent that amount definitely should. Fucking hell, that's a lot of money.

We could have so much better lives if these idiots actually spend on the population.

My guess would be that guy received some "finder's fee" for all those contracts.

You can use it as PWA. Not the same as an app, but better than in a browser tab.

'Jesus Simulator'... that PEGI rating descriptor.

While sifting through the tons of garbage of newly released games on the eShop, I've stumbled upon this thing, that appears to be a ripoff of the 'I Am Jesus Christ' https://store.steampowered.com/app/1198970/I_Am_Jesus_Christ/ , called 'Jesus Simulator'...

Some of my ideas were implemented into this piece of art!

Parasites are everywhere. Like, for instance, there is this game in the making 'Yandere Simulator'. https://www.yanderesimulator.com/ . At the time it popped up, it was quite innovative. Never seen anything like that. It's been in 'beta' for a long time, now. The scum parasites have, of course, stolen the idea && started releasing impersonations years ago on Google Play Games, etc.

Well, he was streaming on twitch and we were telling ideas, advices etc. The game is absolute piece of art, and my favourite rogelite.

I wasn't actually suggesting the creator stole yours. For all I know he just came up w/ it on his own. Also possible.
