You’re out of your mind if you think the regular guy off the street should:

1. Know the difference between IMAP and POP3

2. Know the inner workings of iMessage

If Apple requires proof of understanding to sell their tech, they should submit users to a test. Otherwise, their tech should work how the users expect it to. And deleting messages when I press the damn “delete” button is how any sane person expects things to work. Now, if Apple wants to make a copy and store it in their asshole, and I have to penetrate them anally to delete it as well? That’s fucking debatable in court if it’s a reasonable expectation for a user to have.

It could be, if she wants it to be.

It could also be the type of case where her lawyers stop openAI from ever using her voice again, if she wants that to be the case.

Being rich opens up options. If openAI would be using my voice instead, they’d have a wildly less popular product but nobody to sue them for it, cause I’d be using my money to still dream about home ownership at some point before I die, not to hire lawyers or fight windmills.

Ahahahah imagine writing a short story to install a browser

They’re talking about a chicken. Source: they wrote the word “chicken”.

/c/fuckcars is that way, thanks for stopping by

Cars will never be dethroned. Yes, trains are cool - choo choo motherfucker. Yes, bikes are environmentally friendly. Yes, the car is a truly fucking horible answer to the question “how to get from A to B”.

But that’s because cars are the answer to the question “how to get from A to B comfortably”. I don’t want my baby and my in-law to get on the back of my bike when we’re going camping. I don’t want to take the train and then walk 2 miles from the station every single fucking day with 20kg of tools in my hand, because shit, the train doesn’t stop next to my house, and it doesn’t stop next to my work. I want to be able to have acces to comfortable transportation.

So the answer will still be the car. Even with everyone crying about it. Cause the cat’s out of the bag with cars, we made them efficient and cheap enough to not be considered luxury items anymore. And some countries (see: US) have their entire infrastructure built with cars in mind. You’re never putting the lid back on this, even if it’s a decent idea.

They’re not trolls, just Unix-pilled dumbasses who can’t accept their 4% club isn’t the literal holy grail they want it to be.

Linux is great, yeah. You know what else is great? Playing games. Not debugging drivers. Stable configurations. Not sucking Torvalds’ dick. Coming home after my job and just doing whatever the fuck I want on my PC, instead of putting on my “Linux user” overalls and going back to what is basically another job, trying and failing to get the fucking OS to do one teensy little thing that there are 50 half-documented solutions for, 49 of which don’t work.

Yes. As it should be. I’ll buy the car that chooses to mow down a sidewalk full of pregnant babies instead of mildly inconveniencing myself or my passengers. Why the hell would you even consider any other alternative?

This is a special kind of stupid.

Yes, I believe it’s called Tumblr

You can order whatever you want, you’ll get whatever the chef decides to give you. They have several Michelin star chefs on staff, but also several people who have never boiled an egg. If you order the chicken parm you might get a chicken parm, but depending on their internal kitchen decisions they might deliver a turkey sandwich or a Greek salad or caviar instead. It’s a gamble every time.

There’s a commission in the kitchen that gets paid money to push diverse food to the chefs, even outside of their normal creative process. Which sounds great, you want your diet to be as diverse as possible. But if you were hoping to feast on some eggs and bacon and instead get peas and broccoli, your taste buds might be disappointed with the… Creative choices.

When ordering, you might be tempted to think “the vegetable soup” contains some different types of vegetables. And depending on the chef, it might. But if you get one of the stingy chefs, your vegetable soup will only have carrots in it. You can still add other vegetables, but you need to pay extra. Sometimes you go from a $30 soup to a $2000 soup, if you want all the ingredients. And no, this is not a problem only with the vegetable soup, it’s with all food.

Some other food tastes excellent, but just when you get your third of fourth bite in and are enjoying the flavors, the entire waitstaff comes and tries to pull on your hand and make it as hard as possible to eat. You will still progress, but it will be harder and they don’t really care if you’re hungry or not, they just want to make it slower for you to continue eating. But don’t worry, if you give them 10 bucks they leave you alone for a few moments - then they come back and form the next paywall.

You have a limited time with your food. If you don’t eat it in time, they take it away and kick you out. No refunds.

Speaking of which - if you don’t like the food you got, good luck getting it removed from the bill. There’s like one manager that will comp partially tasted food if you didn’t like it, but the others? Not so much.

Now you’re just confusing cause and effect. Your life doesn’t need to be Linux because of some external event that sucks, it’s because of Linux that your life sucks.

Why cook them? Eat them alive.

So basically people are betting that they will be able sell the stock right after Feb 22 before it loses more than $0.50?

Not necessarily. With all it gained, they can even sell tomorrow. Or at any point before it takes the next massive hit.

I work on crap like this, and it depends. Yeah, diagnostics are done in the car - the main ones, that is. But for example BMW collects data from all their cars - they’re able to do some big data analysis. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the diagnostic info this app provided is an inference - your car has software version 4.3.21, and all cars on that sw version have experienced a certain bug at 200k km, so it’s time to go to the dealership or get a remote update or something. It could be done.

Most likely though, they’re just taking the personal data from your car and showing it to you. You know - after also saving it for themselves.

Does the data explain why women don’t go into stem, or does it simply state what women in stem self-report?

Don’t go into stem, you can’t read data. And I say that while honestly not caring about your genitals.

To be honest, if Microsoft didn’t give a shit about anti-trust laws and if they just let Apple die instead of investing in them, we wouldn’t have Apple today. Which - to be clear: would be a great thing.

Maybe we should actually all strive to be more monopoly-oriented, the laws be damned.

These are Apple’s devices

But that’s the thing - they aren’t. Not once they’re bought. At that point, they’re my device, or your device.

Surely you can see how having a single supplier can be a bad thing, right? That supplier has no incentive to deliver quality. Why would they?

If you want to start baking cookies and sell them, you need to beat several bakers in your town and several companies in the rest of the country if you ever want to be successful and profitable. This is because there are already several well-established suppliers who have proven they make great cookies - why would anyone buy from you?

On the other hand if you’re the only one selling - you can reduce cocoa content in half to save costs, you can replace quality ingredients with cheaper versions for the same reason, you can increase prices as much as you want - the cookie-seeking customer will still buy, because there are no other options.

Sure, you can also be the best baker in the world. You can put love and care into every cookie that leaves your shop. You can care about customers and make sure they get the best stuff, because you have a monopoly and you can enforce that view.

But in reality, what actually happens is that those decisions don’t belong to you. They belong to the soulless company that only has one purpose: maximize profits. And you can be the best person ever, but if you’re working for a publicly traded company you’re at the mercy of shareholders.

Why would you want this? Forget about apple, why would you want this in any field?

It is.

Personally, I’m not against it. Acting means by default imitating something. Pretending you are something you are not. If AI can do it as well or better than actors, I’m okay with that.

Maybe we’re at a stage where the voice actors of tomorrow will be simply those who can configure the AI to output the voice most fitting the role, rather than those who can reproduce it with their own vocal chords. They’re different skillets - I see no reason why one should be more important and worth saving than the other.

This is progress. The only bad thing about progress is that it won’t benefit the many, but the few that can capitalize on it. This, I do regret. But on the other hand - I’m sure all the horse ranchers were very much against cars when they first appeared, and not for environmental reasons, but for more selfish ones. And while it might’ve been sad for so many of them to have to start working in a different field, it’s also undeniable that cars have made a huge economic impact on the world and that living conditions as a whole have improved since their invention.

Idk. It’s a whole thing. I really hope these people can find a way to ride the wave. Because right now it looks like they’ll just be crushed by it instead, and I for one can’t justify impeding progress for the love of the few people stuck in the past.

Compared to anything nowadays, yes - Oblivion was awful. But let me tell you, I played that game as a kid and it wouldn’t have been even half as interesting with no VA. When you’re a stealth archer and someone gets close to you and you think you’re safely hidden, but then you hear “you’re not supposed to be here”, it scared the hell out of 15-yo me and made me run away sooo fast. I tried morrowind just after that and couldn’t stomach playing it - no VA? At all? It was awful.

Maybe we sometimes forget, games are also for kids. Kids don’t need the best acting. And while adult me can’t take oblivion VA seriously - it is still one of the best games I’ve ever played as a child, while Morrowind never even made it into the list because I was spoiled by playing Oblivion first, with its VA, bad as it is.

Well, indie studios aren’t known for huge budgets - they generally don’t include voice acting at all. Between no voice acting and AI voice acting, which is better?
