When will people stop supporting this clown?
Remember when some people were like “well, I don’t support him, but I’ve had this Twitter account forever, so I’m not leaving.” This is what happens. Things just get worse until you gain plausible deniability for continuing to support the bullshit.
Who saw this coming???

You also can’t do shit with their service, app and web, if you’re on a VPN. It just refuses. Even – and this may be illegal – unsubscribing from their emails.
This is the way
This result is predictable for a lot of different things that started as products and seem to be ending up as services.
Microsoft wants Windows to be a subscription service with the associated perks to the company (namely, targeted ads, and also extreme control over anything the system does, including this ad scheme), and so an increased number of people seek a more traditional OS.
The movie industry pushes streaming down everyone’s throat as a highly fragmented market where media ownership no longer exists; thus an increased number of people start to return to physical media.
Car companies push to paywall features of their cars behind subscription services. An increased number of people seek used cars which have no such paywalls.
The patterns are clear, in my view, but the C-suite is always driven by a naïve lust for ever-increasing profit.
Yeah some apps do, some don’t. Connect for Lemmy had it until the latest update
Meh.
It’s not designed for or good for VR gaming. As an AR device, I find it a bit silly since I can just look at a real screen. It would be a novelty at $100, but at the price Apple wants I kind of think of it like a joke.
Which specific community on Lemmy did you comment in?
My thoughts exactly. By this reasoning, Candy Crush Saga could get taken down for copying Bejeweled.
$3000 is way too much for a tarp stapled to the back of an overpriced pile of shit
We paid for the development of the internet. We contributed the content. Now we watch the yacht owners take advantage of both because regulators are asleep at the wheel owned by corporations.
Sometimes I will think of an hour and half as 150 minutes
You’re still thinking of a pattern – but there is a conflation between cardinal numbers and proportion/percentage. An hour and a half is 150% of one hour.
But no, that doesn’t happen with imperial systems, because there just aren’t really patterns to that level.
Many companies are using AI to generate AI training data. Most of them are data brokers where the margins are becoming razor thin. It’s totally a bad idea, but it is definitely happening.
Ahahaha what do you think it’s 1995?
I’ve tried to make this point several times to folks in the industry. I work in AI, and yet every time I approach some people with “you know it ultimately just repeats patterns”, I’m met with scoffs and those people telling me I’m just not “seeing the big picture”.
But I am, and the truth is that there are limits. This tech is not the digital singularity the marketers and business goons want everyone to think it is.

I mean, the point of Debian is stability. If I’m running Debian then I’m not even gonna want to try and install the thing until after I’ve seen 100 people use it. I don’t think they’ll be looking for it in repos.
it still exists
The windscreen is made from high-tech Apple SpaceGlass, and the integrated HUD (*Pro car only) presents all non-Apple cars as green bubbles in real time
Nearly always suspend. It just works for me and I’ve never had issues (Arch and Pop). I rarely, rarely have power outages so the end result is the same.
