I just don’t use my phone. I have a card that I use only after I pay. The store I go to does not have dynamic pricing. That’s the most they’ll get from me.

Hey now, back when they cancelled sharing I cancelled my Netflix, and eeeeeveryone else said they were going to as well. Mines still cancelled, apparently others buckled? That’s on them.

Interesting. I fully expect it to be a bunch of Linux nerds. However, us linux nerds share job postings with others.

I have only received jobs for the last 10 years via social features. I hate it, I don’t enjoy it, but networking and people skills are the way to a good network. I started blogging and recruiters started pinging me regularly. It has a place

I’m both sad and happy Andor was only 2 seasons. It said what it needed to and nothing more.

You mean the games that they depend on children making? Are they really mad that their free unpaid child labor isn’t doing enough?

As someone who had waning hope, down to only a trivkle now, of a new (decent) mass effect or dragon age game… Well, it’s done now.

Casting director needs to be blacklisted from Hollywood. Couldn’t have done a worse job

Been saying for a while, download your stuff now folks. It’s a constant battle to prevent this shit. I’ll be mailing my reps (are you?) But plan for the worst.

AI enables the hubris that you can be an expert in any field. I use it daily, it gives you just enough info and knowledge that you feel that, right before it makes a huge fucking mistake.

That’s all this is, these people gain the arrogance that they can simply pick up another field. Same as management and executives. Anyone working with AI daily knows that’s all it is.

Does it help? Sure. In the hands of a capable engineer who knows what the hell it’s doing. In the hands of some entry-level or non tech person? Horrifying results and pure arrogance.

This is one of those things where we should be saying… “WHY THE HELL DOES OUR WATER INFRASTRUCTURE NEED TO BE ON THE INTERNET”

Completely shocked. The fact that they never took the beta tag off of it was clue enough for me.

Reverse the thinking. Adults don’t have views like conservative bigots.

Not mentioning that they don’t need to do anything anyway. The ask is they do anything, meaning they could reverse engineer it, or they could simply release the source code. That by itself is enough to satisfy stk.

I didn’t believe it until I started my own community. Now I’m ecstatic that I have about 3 posters.

I specifically do not include politics in my Lemmy experience. I get enough of it everywhere else, and there are plenty of places to hear unpopular opinions about politics. Honestly, I would unsubscribe if that went away.

As for mass downviting, I see the appeal of a rule. There are some new voting options coming in 1.0 though, I’d hold off until those come and then revisit it.

I particularly hate these trucks because they’re perfectly “I need a family vehicle but I’m too insecure to drive a van”.

They knew this ahead of time.

This was measured. Calculated. They had reports, meetings, they knew roughly how much outrage would be. This is all part of their plan.

The only thing that would change it is not buying PlayStation.

Which is of course the only thing gamers will not do. As soon as the next big title comes out (also in Sony’s plan), gamers will forget this and move on.

I bet they also calculated the “timed boycot” of PS+ into their plan. Can’t you just hear someone saying it. “We expect maximum of 7 days of light use due to a potential boycott, probably no more than 30% of our total base”

They’re never reversing course on it, as long as people keep buying.

Just like most AI, it makes the user lazier. And I’m someone who is forced to use AI for work and I can confirm.

Why would police actively try to solve a crime when they could lean on flock? Even if it gets it wrong they can say they tried and then move on.

Don’t kid yourselves, the majority of people will eat this shit up
