I mean yeah it's selfish, but it is definitely righting a huge injustice:

There is literally no customer centric way to watch these shows, or most modern media at all. Where can I literally buy shows that I can then resell. Where can I get a subscription service that's focused on giving me the best content possible and not trying to squeeze value out of me by influencing what I watch or selling my metrics or up selling me to a bigger plan after killing the previous plan or any number of other dark practices. Where can I buy DRM free offline files of these shows so I can watch them on an airplane on my own hardware without Internet?

It's fucked up that there is literally no way for people to buy their entertainment and not be fucked over more for trying to do it the legal way and spending money. And piracy needs to exist as a breaking point to stop these companies from getting even worse.

This is not true: QR codes have built in error correction, they are designed specifically for the purpose of working when many pixels are distorted

This looks like a bad 15 minute Photoshop job. Why does she think it was AI? Where is the proof AI was used?

Or is this just more news cycle bullshit trying to throw in the latest controversial keywords 🤔

He's right though. We can't go a day without some inane bullshit about musk getting posted. This event happened 8 years ago, it's not even news. It should have "2015" in the title. This is a bad post, and I'm disappointed we always have to have these kinds of posts around.

the company will add search functionality for terms only "once we are confident in the quality of the results."

So is meta now taking responsibility for all search results?

You have it backwards. This is not too stop fake photos, despite the awful headline. It's to attempt to provide a chain of custody and attestation. "I trust tom only takes real photos, and I can see this thing came from Tom"

But they already changed it from $0 to 0.2, how do you know it won't be 10 dollars next year after you've already spent 5 years making your game?

What if you only were charging a dollar for your game and people like it so much they install it 5 times over the year? Easy to do with multiple devices or reinstalling OS's

The problem is unity is forcing this on people who may have spent years and lots of money entering into a different kind of business agreement.

Very untrue. Consumers have the power to buy far cheaper Android phones where they have far more freedoms, but not only do the majority of American consumers refuse to do this, they voluntarily and systematically shame those who do.

Statistically, Most American consumers are pretty dumb and act against their own interests

But is he getting a hefty stock based compensation package? Can he sell those stocks before he bails?

"why did my rent go up by 400 dollars?" "Because my favorite bagel spot raised prices by a dollar"

It's another subpar Bethesda game in a long line of subpar Bethesda games. Lifeless bland NPCs, tons of glitches, bad gameplay issues, and the same "shallow ocean" criticisms we've been going over since Skyrim.

Why is this in the technology community? This is mostly about medical malpractice, the fact that she streamed a video of what why was doing isn't very technologically interesting or relevant to the tech field as a whole.

Disgusting, everybody has a right to privacy, privacy settings shouldn't be behind a paywall.

Didn't the mods say they were going to do something about musk/Twitter spam?

This isn't even about something Twitter did

This isn't even about something Twitter might do

This is just a dude talking about what everybody knows about Twitter. And musk fans upvote anything Twitter, and musk haters upvote this out of a sense of validation that is shit.

Voting is not good for this, please ban the musk spam

  1. Why is your son streaming on mobile data?
  2. Why does your son have access to government hardware?
  3. Why did you hide it?

Three strikes and you're out. Anybody can make a mistake, but you're way past a simple parenting mistake here.

Almost all user agent strings start with that Mozilla prefix because Mozilla made the first browser with "fancy" features, so in the early internet many websites checked for that string to determine if they should serve the nice website or the stripped down version. Later when other browsers added the features, that also had to add that to their user string so users would get the right site. Which just cemented the practice.
