I dunno, there’s a pretty big distinction. “Please use our shitty thing” vs “Please make our shitty thing better so people want to use it”

It’s placing “blame” on the industry leaders for failing to make something useful

Oh you don’t have to convince me it was a mistake, his comment just wasn’t what it’s being made out to be. “Find a use for it or we’re fucked” is a lot different than “please use our product or we’re fucked”

I was expecting something much worse but to me it deels like he’s saying “we, the people working on this stuff, need to find real use cases that actually justifies the expense” which is…pretty reasonable

Not defending him or Microsoft at all here but it sounds like normal business shit, not a CEO begging users to like their product

Fuck billionaires but how would that make any sense? Money is federal and citizens are free to move between states. A state can’t take all your shit if you decide to leave.

California isn’t a shitty place but imagine if a southern state applied that logic to a normal person. “You’re free to move but we’re taking all your stuff so you’re actually trapped here hehe”

Yeah let me just replace these rolling wheat hills with a rice farm. It’d totally work because wheat and rice have the same growing conditions. Dumbass

According to the article, the actual performance is on par with a GTX 660 Ti

Sounds like it’s about equivalent to Intel’s latest GPU. Both are running about a little over a generation behind AMD and Nvidia.

Sounds like it’s more than “a little over one generation behind” if it benchmarks near an Nvidia card released 14 years ago??

I just installed Linux the other week and it WAS super easy to set up for me. I was really surprised but everything just worked

You can call them idiots but it is you who misremembers. Snapchat’s role in the snappening was a failure to crack down on 3rd party clients.

Snapchat didn’t store the photos (that we know of), a 3rd party app’s server did

Insane that it hasn’t been deleting when it’s apparently AI.

I definitely will, I liked the last one! I just wanted to clear up what the scandal was - it wasn’t something anyone could think creators should have seen coming

Another thing even the most cynical person can easily see is extortion!

I know we’re all jaded nerds on this corner of the internet that are well aware of “if you’re not paying, etc. etc.”

Haven’t watched this video but IIRC the real scandal was that the extension would change the cookie to identify Honey as your referrer so the content creators whose referral you actually used didn’t get paid. No matter how jaded you are, you can see that as the theft it is

Why remind everyone that this dude exists?

This isn’t even political

Inflation covers everything* but not everything has gone up in price.

• not literally everything but more than the essentials like groceries

I give her credit for sticking to the Epstein files and I give her credit for being vocally angry about the delays. I will not give her credit for being “smart”

And again, not at all the first rat off the ship. She bailed when Trump snubbed her.

Don’t give her that credit. She stopped getting what she wanted so she bailed. She was not the first rat off the ship either. She didn’t come to her senses or anything.

That said, I support her efforts to splinter the party. Not because I agree with her but because it benefits me

Calling academia “evil incarnate” for that is a bit much.

Your last two sentences defeat what came before…

Work is work. It’s not passion projects, it’s work. You don’t have to love it

Calling him the “no kings” hitman kind of implies he is on the left but it doesn’t seem like that’s what you meant. I imagine that’s why you’re getting downvoted
