No, DOGE is about dismantling/looting the parts of government that are capable of regulating and taxing oligarchs in the name of ‘saving money.’ If they somehow do actually save any money (and with the recent removal of most of their ‘successes’ from the website even that is heavily debatable) it will just go into more tax breaks for the rich.
Data harvesting is just part of the looting, but it’s gravy, not the main course.
If I could steal a car by downloading it over the internet without depriving the original owner of it and with similarly low risk of getting caught/prosecuted for it I would absolutely steal a car. I wouldn’t steal a font tho, that’s just beyond the pale. :P
That’s kinda interesting. My first thought on seeing that image, though, was ‘ramen + autism = good!’
May I be the first to say…
Every question in a headline should always be answered with ‘probably not.’ If you are no longer intrigued then congratulations, you’re one step closer to learning how to stop being influenced by bullshit media. The same is true of ads too. If they’re asking it’s because they can’t legally state it, they have to couch it in a question and let your mind unpack it for them. Stop performing unpaid labor for these people whose only purpose is to deceive and manipulate you.
Welp, time to delete that shit and find replacements. Notepad++ is a solid upgrade over notepad, there must be something similar for paint that doesn’t have a steep learning curve?
The scientists didn’t actually read all 1,140,328 discussion-board submissions written by 16,791 students between the fall term of 2021 and the winter term of 2024.
"I think we can infer this is due to the availability of AI because what other things would produce these significant changes?”
Yu and his research colleagues didn’t interview any of the students and cannot say for certain that the students were using ChatGPT or any of its competitors, such as Claude or Gemini, to help them with their assignments
If this had been actual research this might be an interesting result, but it’s not. It’s pure speculation without a shred of verification.
I don’t doubt that it’s possible, but it would cost $7,000 or some shit.
Yeah, what’s even funnier is after noticing and appealing the temp ban I logged off and the only time I went back was to check my mail for a response which is when I noticed the perma-ban, so between those two time periods I was literally not even on reddit, so I have no idea what the fuck they were on about.
Indeed, Nazi scum can fuck off.
Yup. What’s left of their user-base is cranky, well-entrenched against their bullshit, and not afraid to show it. See: the APIpocalypse, etc. I would bet they lost millions of users over that, and now they’re alienating tens or hundreds of thousands more. They have a pretty shit business model which largely relies on enshittification.
I had no idea that was a thing, nor who I would have done it with considering none of my friends or family use reddit. Much less how I could’ve done it without even knowing about it.
They 7-day banned me for ‘encouraging violence’ for saying I didn’t think Mangione deserved to go to jail for what he did. I appealed it and it was lifted, but not before it was upgraded to a permanent ban for ban-evasion on other accounts (I’ve never had more than one account in my 14 years of reddit.) The perma-ban was lifted on appeal too, but by that point I was just like fuuuuck off.
And this right here is why I laughed my ass off when they were doing their IPO and offered me an early buy-in. The company has never made a profit to my knowledge, why on earth would I imagine its value would go up?
What we do not see, from even the most enthusiastic promoters of standardization, is the argument that standardization is for the benefit of capital.
Ok, I’ll make it. Companies participate in standards organizations because it is strictly in their best interest to do so for several reasons.
If these companies didn’t benefit financially from participation a lot fewer of them might participate; big companies like IBM for whom pushing technology forward is a part of their identity would probably still participate, but the little Taiwanese company that only makes CD players probably wouldn’t give a shit and would only adopt the standard after the fact to avoid losing sales with none of the expense of contributing to the standard.
Wow, what scummy bastards. I used the browser for a little bit, and I kinda figured they were up to some shady shit when I noticed a crypto-wallet was included, but I ignored all that shit and it was fine. But if I’d known what the CEO or the company in general had been up to I’d have dropped that shit like a bad habit long before I did for other reasons.
I’ve literally never noticed an ad on desktop since I joined discord in like 2010.
Yeah I was thinking about that if desktop gets ads, cause at least ublock origin can block most things.
Welp, good thing I don’t use discord on mobile. We’ll see how it goes when they come to desktop.
You probably should’ve led with the fact that this is Chinese phones, not like Samsung and shit.
