No u

I appreciate being able to check if I remembered to lock the doors.

How exactly does that work with a keyfob…?

I’d like to see a Sankey graph of where Valve’s money goes before I praise them that much for helping out a Linux distribution a bit.

I’d say it’s a lot more than “a bit”. It’s an enormous amount of help that pretty much everyone in the Linux (professional) community can, has, and will attest to.

I don’t agree that they’re a monopoly, because they’ve done absolutely nothing to prevent competition. Other stores do it to themselves.

I do agree though that their fees are exorbitant and their contributions to Linux are a teeny tiny fraction of their wealth, but I appreciate it regardless.

and a way to tell Windows that they could go without them if they don’t collaborate.

Ehhhh it’s a step in that direction. But as long as 96% or whatever of their users run Windows, it’s hardly much of a bargaining tool.

I do think that’s what they’re working for. After all Windows could flip a switch at any time and royally fuck them.

I wasn’t trying to make an argument either way. Just stating facts…

Honestly the quality of games is the tip of the iceberg.

This is going to be one of those “Ubisoft investigates Ubisoft and found that Ubisoft did nothing wrong at Ubisoft”-situations, isn’t it?

No, this is going to be one of those “our stocks are tanking and investors want someone’s head on a pike” sort of meeting.

I can absolutely Google. But I choose not to. Because fuck Google.

When I did a web search it just directed me back to this same page.

Ah, that makes more sense, thanks.

Google away, my guy 🤷

Ive tried many different third-party apps. Because they give me a reason to.

since it’s trivial to host

LOL people around here truly do be delusional.

If you have Mastodon you can just try it?

I’m not giving access to my Mastodon account to some random service I’ve never heard of for no reason.

But I feel like describing it at length

I don’t need length. Any sort of description at all would be helpful.

Because the vast majority of the time it’s correct and often extremely useful.

For example, I spent 20 minutes looking for a solution yesterday with no luck and CGPT spit it out in 3 seconds, and it worked.

Yes, AI will give bad outputs, but if you’re not dumb enough to put glue on your pizza, or not actually verify important information, you’ll be fine.

They can overhaul it and resecure it all they want but it doesn’t matter because no one trusts them, because they’ve been giving you a plethora of reasons not to for decades. And it would take them decades to earn it back, if they actually tried.

OK. There’s absolutely no information about it?

E: This is the proper way to share something like this

You don’t know what you’re talking about.

I wish they were wrong, but they aren’t. The top posts on any given day on Mastodon get ~100 interactions and a handful of comments. The number of active users on Masto has declined by ~35% in the last year alone. Not to mention Mastodon has way too many things that make it difficult to use and understand outside of federation.

I take solace in the fact that Zuck actually almost certainly reads my comments giving him shit about his AR/VR trash.

I’m so confused. I thought this was illegal?

The OpenAI non-profit will continue to exist and own a minority stake in the for-profit company

Wait what? Are they restructuring to a for-profit or not? They already have a separate for-profit company.

Ai is ruining the internet.
