Bold of you to assume it’s just your liftime

If they’re following the standard, which they often do but sometimes don’t, white indicates 2.0 and blue indicates 3.0+. I think there are more but I don’t remember the other colours.

For me this is fighting over semantics. It doesn’t really matter if it’s legally piracy or not since nobody is gonna go after you for it either way. It’s about whether what you’re doing is moral or the intended way. You can use adblocker, but then you’re just freeloading. Fact of the matter is that nothing is free and everything needs compensation when at scale. You can rightfully claim that YouTube shoves too many ads and that it’s a monopoly so it abuses it’s position, but at the end of the day you’re using the service without compensating for it, so you’re stealing at least something.

Drones aren’t the be-all and end-all, especially at this stage in the war. They can cause a lot of damage but countermeasures are being used more and more and you can’t win a war with just drones.

I honestly think the same. Dudes old as shit, has money and a family. He doesn’t need the stress and obligations that come with the presidency. Maybe he gets a kick out of being in power, but from everything I saw about him I’d wager he would much rather just retire and live the easy life.

I have power toys insalled and I love it for a lot of its features, but I never got used to using the run menu.

Interesting design but I’ve literally never used the start menu for the past 5 years I think. I only ever press the windows key and then type the name of the app I need.

Why do you think so? I feel like they’re some of the most useful reviews I come across.

There’s this very nice template you can use to quickly make a more detailed review without having to write it all yourself. You can always just google “Steam review template” to find it.

Think you mean dark patterns.

No it actually wasn’t. Idk if you used basically any search engine nowadays but SEO bullshit has destroyed useful results for like 90% of searches.

Why do people hate on Aribnb so much? I mean I don’t like what they’re doing to the housing market, yes, they’re inflating housing prices by reducing the incentive to sell, and there’s a housing crisis basically everywhere right now. But the product itself is quite good. It may be the largest one but there are still competitors, and the prices are typically far cheaper than a hotel. When I look at e.g. Croatia and the coastline, on Šolta for example you literally have a single hotel that’s wildly expensive, or short term rentals. I know I’d definitely never go for the hotel personally.

Also I don’t get the “tech bros solving nonexistent problems argument”. Like sure, technically you could do it yourself without the website, but that’s like saying that why would anyone make a flight aggregate site or Ebay. Those things are possible via other methods, but this makes it far easier.

Like I legitimately want to know what people’s problems are with the actual product, cuz from my perspective it’s pretty good. I agree that it perpetuates overarching problems like overturism or the housing crisis, but I’m talking about the app and service itself which a lot of people here seem to have a problem with.

I mean, what’s the problem with attached bottle caps? They’re pretty cool, and they don’t really get in the way.

Didn’t even see that one. Probably just a missclick.

The fact that X86 came after a full stop so his phone auto capitalised it.

Honestly, the worst part of the AI craze is that so many people hear AI now and immediately hate it even though it can really do some amazing stuff, e.g. in medicine. AI as a blanket term just has so much variance, there’s a ton of trash and a ton of great stuff.

One thing I don’t get is that e.g. I have Revolut installed, I use it regularly, Google knows this yet still half or a quarter of my ads for months now has still been Revolut. Why??

I mean if you make a gmail account just for your Google account, you’ll either have to log into your Gmail account to check emails or miss potential important emails related to your account, which you would get if they were sent to your main email.

To add to that, apart from the Apple cloud processing, data can be sent to OpenAI if a prompt is deemed too complex, but even then you’re asked whether or not you want it to talk to OpenAI’s servers each time, and apparently OpenAI isn’t allowed to store any of that data, tho idk how much I’d trust that part.

They also claim that whenever data is sent off device, only the data directly relevant to the prompt is sent.

I just… I… what goes through this man’s head? Why is literally every sentence he spews completed bullshit? And why do so many people fall for it?
