As a Canadian who watched the debate, holy shit I thought the clips I see online were rare occurrences, not every sentence.
It was like watching an incoherent fight at the old folks home (and nothing to do with politics).
It’s disgusting how many times I’ll catch myself opening an app I closed less than 2 minutes ago because I was bored.
I love the duality of all the genuinely thought-provoking conversations on tech/news communities, and then all the humour just being 2010 9GAG.
…but I’m not complaining
You can livestream there?
The majority of the ads I get on Twitter now are deepfaked Elon shilling coins — I don’t know how any advertiser (or user) could have any faith in that platform anymore.
Ah perfect, rules that are inherently up to interpretation and selectively enforced.
Attempting to fine homeless people for not having a place to live was already laughably ignorant, but now you’re extending it to everyone and everything? DON’T YOU DARE FUCKING DOZE OFF AT THE BUS STOP OR ELSE.
(edit: I had trouble finding actual information in the articles, so I’m basing this reply solely off the title.)
IMO it’s one thing if you posted things publicly on the internet and it’s getting scraped, in the same way a human would find it.
But it’s disgusting when all these companies retroactively update their TOS, or force you into zero privacy to continue using their service.
I will say, I don’t know what they’ve done but it’s been fucking up my casual circumvention nicely. Now I just get forced into almost 10 minutes of ads every time, and the ad bars shows up underneath videos, the end cards at the wrong time…
It’s insane how many people already take AI as more capable/accurate than other medium. I’m not against AI, but I’m definitely against how much of a bubble of being worshipped that some people have it in.
I feel like Apple is much less threatening as a monopoly than a loooot of other companies..?
Please do. Keep making headlines for self-destruction.
I feel like we’re at the age of the internet where a strong minority (see: Lemmy users) care deeply about all the ugly exploitative and anti-consumer nature of big tech, but the vast majority of the population just… doesn’t care… and shrugs off (and enables) the continual downward spiral.
If this is anything like the flag to bring back the old Chrome downloads bar (I miss you), then enjoy it while you can.
I don’t own anything Nintendo but I thought there would only be like 200 games.
I’ve found Google alternatives great for things that are… filtered (copyright etc), but honestly no matter what search engine I use, I swear none just give you the results for your query anymore. I’ve still been finding the Bing-based ones horrible quality for relevancy and defaulting to Google.
The thing that makes me most sad is that the old Twitter is genuinely why I have the career and connections I do today. Now I can’t even stand opening the site.
They really said “because we can’t get crime under control, you can’t have health measures”
I didn’t read a single thing beyond the title but… yeah that checks out
