Well, if they didn’t care about being flooded with machine generated trash, they wouldn’t have set the limit to books you can self publish down to a mere three per day.

Here’s a basically fully automated service where you can generate a shitty book for $200. You can even have it printed as a paperback for more useless waste or have it AI narrated as a shitty audiobook.

I hate everything about it.

This can only mean that Google is about to axe a product that people like and instead introduce a new chat app.

I assume by “fail” you mean “didn’t succeed in preventing California from building an efficient high-speed rail system”, right?

For me it was the Joan of Arc thing.

But I think more generally the implied notion that mentally unstable people shouldn’t be helped because of art.

I’ve researched this by watching literally dozens of minutes of videos on YouTube. Real hardcore stuff with some things that most sheeple probably wouldn’t be ready to accept, but it directly contradicts the main stream media narrative, so you know it’s true. Also, basically all the claims were widely discredited and it’s pretty obvious that so much energy wouldn’t have been put into disproving something that was actually untrue, unless someone was trying to hide something from us.

You probably underestimate the amount of effort Apple puts into not doing this, to maintain user privacy, and for a good while their services have suffered for it.

As an example I’d highlight the year in review feature between Apple Music and Spotify. “Replay” is significantly worse than “Wrapped” and I believe the difference is data handling is the key differentiator. However, there are some advances in balancing privacy 2ith utility, as highlighted in this post from Apple ML research: https://machinelearning.apple.com/research/scenes-differential-privacy

My thought exactly. Arabic numerals imply the decimal system and then people can’t use their grandma’s recipes anymore.

Sure, but if we just didn’t do stuff because it’s hard, then we’d never chosen to go to the moon. That guy on TV said so.

We might not do stuff because it’s an awful and downright terrible idea, but both looking at humanity as whole and my own personal experience, that doesn’t seem to be much of a deterrent either.

Yeah, why should such a thing be regulated?

We all probably still remember the East Palestine accident, but all that turned alright in the end didn’t it?

Yeah it makes total sense. It’s a fantastic way to make sure you only get the most gullible, hardcore idiots that are easy to make money off.

It’s like those longer running scams. They have built in mechanisms to find the best marks, by disqualifying anyone who might not be easy to convince early.

Same here. If you cultivate a crowd of conspiracy theorists, that have a proven track record of being easily swayed not by evidence but by lack of evidence, then you got the full-day morons eating from your hand.

Musk’s posts go to everyone I’m pretty sure. Many people unfollowed him and he didn’t like that, so now you get his excretes whether you want to or not.

Stupid headlines like this, are making us collectively dumber.

I expect you’re kidding, because it’s hard to believe someone made it onto Lemmy without knowing this, but here goes anyway:

They never said “don’t decrypt client side”.

Lots of things you probably use every day is end-to-end encryption.

HTTPS in your browser uses TLS to ensure that the content you receive is encrypted on its way to you and that it hasn’t been tampered with on the way (confidentiality and integrity).

What if push messages doesn’t happen on your phone but is somehow “pushed” from somewhere else?

Netflix was in competition with piracy. They competed mostly on two parameters: price and convenience, but catalog is also a secondary or tertiary parameter.

Piracy is kinda free unless you pay for newsgroups, seedbox or straight up membership. It’s also inconvenient for most people. The catalog is basically unlimited if you know where to look.

Paid streaming or digital purchases wins on convenience, but at a greater price and with a limited catalog.

With older content constantly being bounced around different services, aggressive anti-shsring measures and continually rising prices, paid streaming is becoming less and less attractive, as we’re slowly sliding back to the times of cable TV, albeit video on-demand this time around.

“prayer warrior” is one of my favorite concepts. Those two words are just so comically incompatible.

They will make up stories that ultra sounds scans is a nefarious way of vaccinating you without consent and consequently refusing to go to important checkups.

They’re incredibly predictable. Just pretend to barely understand the subject matter, then invent the most alarmist way of misunderstanding it.

It’s a grown up Noogler.

Effigy, eh? Yeah, nothing burns like an effigy.
