“Enormous enthusiasm” for AI should be a fireable offense.

They’re working on a non-Google alternative, last I heard.

Done. Thanks for linking the comm.

The God of Arepo

Reimena Yee turned it into a comic. Let me know if you know a good comm for it.

It could work with accessibility captions and transcripts.

I’ve done that when posting on !microblogmemes@lemmy.world

This looks like brainrot, just from a different era.

Whoever he is, he writes ok.

That said, I’d be surprised if the members who left the NRA went to join Giffords instead (pro-background checks organization).

There’s plenty of other gun groups ready to exploit MAGA voters defend the second amendment.

Thanks for explaining. TIL.

Does changing my DNS server change this result?

That one’s down for me, too.

For the most part, it’s believed that carmakers are doing way with Android Auto support simply as a way to expand their control over user data. Because Android Auto utilizes your phone’s connection, all of the data that runs through it goes straight to Android and the phone manufacturer. So, by utilizing built-in systems, the car manufacturers would indeed be able to collect more data about how you use the systems in place, while also possibly getting more money out of you through subscriptions.

You are unfortunately correct.

Why did Flattr dissolve?

Depending on where you look, Grindr CEO George Arison’s net worth is $20–80 million.

He joins a growing list of gay executives hell-bent on proving that enshittification isn’t just for the straights.

To Torvalds, Chromebooks “are the path toward the desktop.”

What does he mean by this?

I struggle to believe Chromebooks will meaningfully contribute to more people adopting Linux, because Google is more interested in getting people to adopt Google instead.

Simone reminds me of the class perspective: musicians here behave like atomized small owners, caught in their enterprecarity, who (legitimately) ask for some defense of their property rights, attacked both by hackers and by the big monopolists of platforms and AI. Because from these property rights, in this case IP, comes a rent, and from this rent, independent artists and label owners try to make a living. Again, right or wrong, this is what’s happening.

I remember reading somewhere that independent artists make basically no money from Spotify.

Is that still true, or have creators found a way to claw back value from the platform, and that’s why they’re defending it?

Now that we’ve gotten what we wanted (seeing him get his ass beat in a real fight), I hope the world forgets him quickly and permanently.

He has contributed nothing of value to the world and deserves no more of our attention or money.

Me, neither. But calling him out is still “engagement” in the platform’s eyes.

They don’t care whether it was positive or negative, as long as they can sell it to advertisers, shareholders, and data brokers.

Great, this will be my last comment, too.

Many of these fixed fight accusations come from people with little to no experience boxing, but who will claim with so much unearned confidence how “obvious” it is.

It is possible that Tyson threw the match. I’ll give that oxygen to people with the experience to know what they’re talking about.

More importantly, these accusations fall into an even bigger trap: giving Jake Paul attention.

Jake Paul built up a string of wins against fighters who weren’t boxers, boxers with inflated win/loss records, and boxers who have been retired for years.

Every claim that a fighter is “obviously” throwing against him fed the metrics. It creates hate watchers who want to see him get beat in the next fight. It tells the networks, this makes money.

If we had collectively recognized the trap, stopped shouting “rigged!” and signaling how much we wanted a next match, a “real” match, Jake Paul wouldn’t have been able to ride the hate-hype train to a $100M+ payout for a broken jaw.
