Nah, I still think it’s terrible even though I know what it does. The final product just looks like straight up garbage.

Hmm… New account, defending a company that doesn’t care about your opinion, and saying that everyone but the corporation is the problem.

Bro… Are you aware that you are a bot?

I’d still rather have people that realized this than have them still be part of the cult. Of course she’s an idiot and I hate her very much for her choice. But literally nothing I can say or do will change the past and bitching about what could have been is pointless.

Both can be correct. I didn’t know plastic was as bad as it was when I was a kid. I laugh at how stupid I used to be all the time.

Besides, if that man is still alive he’d be like 95 and in the exact same situation as the rest of us. Maybe we could joke together about how fucking stupid we are while cursing the corporations that lied to us.

Edit: bad math

I’m only surprised that they are paying for it.

Because more people care about porn than open source software.

Which is definitely fair. I’m just saying that just because I can’t afford a 5090 doesn’t mean I won’t be able to play games. Sure, I won’t be able to play GTA VI but I can still play thousands of other games.

I have played and enjoyed a lot of AAA games over the years. God of War, The Last of Us 1 & 2, Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077, the new DOOM games, Battlefield 6, and pretty much any other popular AAA game you can think of over the last five years. You know what my top games are in terms of playtime? Stardew Valley, Factorio, and Rimworld. And it’s not even close.

Yes, but they will also hold your bank account. Which for me would be a net positive so maybe you’re right lmao

Pretty sure all the people praising this don’t realise this, hence my comment.

Datacenters are not just for AI.

This is potentially worse than you’d immediately think. Literally everything that exists in “the cloud” is in a datacenter and is not exclusively AI. Remember when AWS went down and half the internet went down with it? Now imagine the datacenters actually got destroyed and it wasn’t just a software bug. Imagine if the datacenters went down for your bank account or healthcare provider. Sure this is only happening in the Middle East at the moment, but as we’ve been learning more and more these days, if it can happen “over there” it can happen here too. Wherever “here” may be, this can affect you.

ETA: Added some words.

I used to pay for premium a couple years ago because I still wanted to support the creators I watched, but ever since they started implementing AI everywhere and stealing peoples videos for training data I figured Google doesn’t deserve my money no matter how small. I’d much rather watch with uBlock and spend that $20 I used to spend on YouTube Premium on the various YouTubers Patreons.

I just hope this gets more huge companies to start suing. I’ve already accepted that I won’t see any of that money again so I’d at least love to see how far this goes.

My guess is that the IP got flagged. In my personal experience, around 70% of VPN servers in California don’t let me post on Lemmy for some reason so I just avoid that area entirely at this point. Unfortunately, shitty people use VPNs to do shitty things too.

The purpose of this is that right wing news media will only report what Trump said while never mentioning the rebuttal. Now they’ll do whatever they want and when they get push back they’ll say “yeah but you said we could” and all of his fans will back him up. And since Trump purged most of the senior military that opposed him the military will most likely back him up too. So now if there’s an international incident involving the illegal use of US military bases in Spain they can say it was Spain that broke the agreement.

Facts don’t matter for these people. They only care about what their dear leader says while everything else is noise or ignored entirely. Essentially, this message isn’t for us or Spain, it was for MAGA.

Been awhile since I checked out this website and only now just found out there is a new one right next to the office I work at.

I have not seen a single person say this is a good idea. From Reddit, to Twitter, to Bluesky, and Lemmy. It’s pretty much universally hated everywhere you go.

They’re just reading the room. They’re not doing it because they think israel is bad, they’re doing it because it’s economically disastrous to do so. Within the next few years the US will be in the same position if it keeps going the way it is. We’ll be too “high risk.”

Yeah, but what about $7.99?
