Kind of. If anybody signs up for that premium lite they’re fools.

I’m really sick of companies making changes that are clearly negative, and claiming it’s a good thing, like in your example. Somehow they’ve all come to the conclusion that if they just say it’s a good thing people will believe it.

Could be, but once you start involving genetic engineering, you probably can also just heal the Pokémon.

For what it’s worth

“Recent comments at Ignite about Windows 10 are reflective of the way Windows will be delivered as a service bringing new innovations and updates in an ongoing manner, with continuous value for our consumer and business customers,” says a Microsoft spokesperson in a statement to The Verge. “We aren’t speaking to future branding at this time, but customers can be confident Windows 10 will remain up-to-date and power a variety of devices from PCs to phones to Surface Hub to HoloLens and Xbox. We look forward to a long future of Windows innovations.”

Current Lemmy will circlejerk about the end of any company or product with the smallest nudge.

Every slightly negative post above a certain threshold of views will have comments about abandoning whatever thing it’s about.

Yes, that’s the same thing every time Firefox is mentioned here. It’s like people here WANT to be angry.

You got an open source alternative to Google home/Amazon Echo? I’d buy it.

uMatrix

I used uBlock origin and have for years but I’ve never heard of uMatrix. I see from the description kind of what it does, but what’s the benefit here?

All good. I think we’re thinking of this from different aspects anyway. I’m thinking a company just subscribes as part of their office subscription and Microsoft is doing the heavy lifting of the cost and hardware. I don’t know how OpenAI makes money besides their little subscription.

(which you seem to do and keep on posting here)

I’ve only made the comment you’re replying to. I’m not whoever you’re thinking.

You keep mentioning cost, and in the grand scale of “there’s no such thing as a free lunch” there’s a large cost but for users, they’re just paying for a license from Microsoft to have copilot in their visual studio software or in M365 apps, etc.

So for helping with development, it’s really not that expensive for the users. Also, “they” make lots of ridiculous claims, and i don’t know who said it, but no developers in 5 years is a wild claim that no one should’ve thought was real.

Considering you’re a hobbyist and probably don’t have marketing, it’s too soon to say it’s a flop. Many games like that pop off later once it gets seen.

Yes. Since the mascot is an elephant, it’s Toots instead of Tweets. To the other person’s point, toots are fine for what I showed, anime type channels, but less legal things like piracy, onlyfans leaks, etc. wouldn’t be great there, since it’s not a private group of just the interested parties.

Way bigger. You could have many thousands.

Well, they did it just out in the open in some dusty warehouse. Comments I’ve read say that’s a pretty big deal.

This didn’t happen at the theme park, this happened at Disney Springs, which is basically a mall.

Fair enough

Sure, but you know most people do not have to do what you just described.

And the credit rating one I can certainly get behind but some of it sounds like BS

It is. There’s no change to your credit rating or report over whether or not you paid interest. It’s not even a reported statistic. At best, you could argue that if they see the credit utilization is low and your payments are always on time that you probably don’t pay a lot of interest, but that is a typical indication of good credit.

It’s more likely that they had one credit card and not that long of a credit history with it.

To people thinking of joining Nebula because their marketing team/shills are currently spamming this thread, see peertube (federated like lemmy, open source)

Peertube is fine, but like lemmy (but worse), there’s barely anything there. Nebula at least got creators from YouTube to make ad-free versions for Nebula. If the channels that a person are subscribed to don’t exist in Peertube, that’s not an appealing alternative for them.
