Does any company remain being the same company after ~20-40 years then?

Does the TV series Silicon Valley no longer make sense in today's culture?

Who says they aren't selling the data? They are probably selling it to every company trying to do a language model at the moment.

Who knows. Perhaps a lot of us are lacking a sense of community and instinctively seek it out in the wrong places. Still, I'm not going to care about who Taylor Swift's new boyfriend is unless she cares about the same for me. I&#x

I've been mentioning how weird parasocial relationships like this are to people for at least 10 years now and everyone thinks I'm being ridiculous. I still don't think anybody should be caring about social interactions when i

Embedded firmware to run individual components is one thing and a software running on CPU for your entire car is another. My random 2016 Subaru is like this. I haven't needed to update any firmware on my cars parts since buying it. It

Proprietary software on wheels. No thank you. I'd rather buy a mostly mechanical machine.

Why should they have to let me? It's my computer.

I just noticed this today and think it is great. Now there is even less reason to browse Youtube videos unintentionally. I don't see why they even allow you to turn watch history off if they want the website to rely on it. Not complain

Very clever. Get everyone hooked on a free ChatGPt and then fail to monetize it and go bankrupt.

Isn't the whole idea of the scientific method is that you don't prove things true? You just test things enough until you are not able to prove it false?

We need servers in space. I wonder if the latency would be good or bad.

I agree that they should be capable, but I don't think it should be done by almost anyone.

I'd prefer everyone I know stop using Discord and start using Matrix, but that will never happen.

If they previously worked in some expensive city like San Fransisco and had in writing that their work from home arrangement was permanent they could move to a forest somewhere with negligible housing costs and still come out ahead. Althoug

Who said anything about not profiting? Of course people are free to choose to do bad things and there is nothing we can do to stop them. That doesn't mean they deserve praise or shouldn't be called out on it. It is shameful in my

Simple. You get rid of the free with ads version and then sell the software for whatever amount of money. Or if there has to be a free version it wouldn't have ads. It would just not have the pro features which you would have to pay fo

That may be so, but for every game like this there are a dozen that aren't. I just happened to not be interested in any of the above mentioned games. Still, I think the trend of releasing completed games is slowly becoming in favor aga

What really sealed the deal for me checking out this game is the promise to not have any microtransactions. That's a trend that has only been getting worse for 20+ years now and I'd gladly pay full price for a game that simply giv

No other Lemmy UI whether it be a webapp or mobile app has ads. This is exclusive to Sync.

by izzydata 3y ago
I didn't say any such thing. I said they should sell the software rather than put in ads and then get people to pay to remove them.
352.
by izzydata 3y ago
I'm going to have to give this one a huge thumbs down. Injecting ads into a free and open source webapp that previously did not have any just to get people to buy your ad free version is the kind of thing Lemmy is trying to get away fr

That seems more encrypted then would be necessary. There would be the locked down DRM verified by Google internet then there would be the internet that just requires an open source browser and only works to get to all the non-DRM internet w

Sounds like this would spawn an entire second internet.

How would a word itself contain its own definition of what or how? If you take the word "corruption" which is similar you can see that is implies something is being made more corrupt, but it fails to say what or how. I can't

It's no wonder they constantly re-invent the wheel with Android every year. They must be at a total loss of how to make anything novel with it.

I'd like to believe it is reversible. It's not a genetic problem so it is a problem of environment. If you tech detoxed for a whole year living in the woods or something then tried to read Moby Dick it would likely be very tolerab

I think it is still basically a bribe. Like all video game journalists and influences they will receive early copies to make their content. Video game studios don't actually give them money, but early access is what allows these people

I find that google is "useless" in the sense that it is no longer the best search engine. There are many solid search engines as options now so why pick google in particular? I think for most people its just a habit. I don't

Does it matter what most people care about? I don't believe the goal is to get all the traffic from everyone wanting such a service. I think the people who do care about having a site that isn't driven by ads and corporate interes
