I’ve been saying for years that Mozilla is a profit-driven corp, just like any other. If they operated at Google’s scale, they’d be evil at Google’s scale, as well. It’s not the first time they’ve done something like this, and likely won’t be the last.
Somebody with better aim. I very much doubt we’ve seen the last attempt on his life. Groups on all sides are inching closer and closer to extremist acts lately, and don’t show any signs of slowing down. We’re in for chaos now.
For generative AI, yes.
Heat, alone, doesn’t dry your clothes. If you’ve ever had a blocked exhaust tube on your dryer, you’ll know that clothes can be hot and wet. You need the airflow to carry the evaporated water away.
We have guns on the left, too. We just aren’t as masturbatory about them.
You take that back, Peanut was pure and sacred!
First time I’ve seen Lenny on Lemmy.
Because when you see somebody with -1000 karma, it’s a pretty good indicator that you shouldn’t waste your time engaging with them.
I think you can’t see anything recent, only posts a year or older until you log in.
Brand new account, shilling for Rumble, under the guise of free speech (which Rumble does not offer). Hmm, really paints a picture.
Where’d you get banned from, and what did you say to get banned? C’mon, just tell the story you’re clearly wanting to tell.
What are you talking about? Vigilante YouTubers have notoriously been a detriment to police investigations because of how rarely they actually cooperate with law enforcement.
Ackshually, the name “Travis” comes from the root word “traverse”, which is of Latin origin, not Greek. So it would actually be Travia.
I’ve got some bad news for you about ActivityPub then.
Thanks for pointing this out. I’d never heard of this site before. From their front page: https://fedia.io/media/dd/05/dd05739fe84d5754670a5985712d74afa8a49f6dae81a8afa01e460ff04ccf11.png
That should tell you a lot about whether or not to invest any energy into reading stories from there.
Yeah, I dunno what the facepalm is supposed to be about. 99% of the rest of the world has about 1% of the tech knowledge that the average Lemmy user is going to have. These scams are wildly effective, and it’s not really a matter of general intelligence as far as who falls victim to them.
Terms of service/privacy policies would be on a per-instance basis.
better noise cancellation on the mic (though I doubt anyone uses that)
Oh brother, do people ever use the controller mic. They especially love to do it when they play music from their phone speaker on their lap. And they never use headphones, so when you unmute yourself to say “Hey, can you turn your mic down a bit? I can’t hear the game,” you end up blowing out your own eardrums hearing yourself through their TV at full volume.
That’s fine, I’ll take that trade.
Probably a pessimistic take, but I don’t expect this to have any discernable impact on sales, or any other effects that would discourage publishers from these practices. The average user doesn’t care about or understand how these things work; they’ll see an anti-cheat warning on the store page and think “Okay, tell the colonel I’ll be on my best behavior then” and continue to buy the game.
In theory, this would be true. But in Mozilla’s case, “reinvesting into its employees” means giving the CEO a pay raise in the same year they did huge layoffs. They may be not-for-profit on paper, but the actions from their execs are exactly the same as you’d see from any other for-profit corp. Being not-for-profit is just an excuse for shitty business practices and doesn’t change anything in any significant way, imo.
