Of course it seems wrong when you say it like that.

They’ll be wearing stylish pool noodles on the tusks to minimize furniture and gonad damage.

Or we create them with softer tusks. Maybe that’s better, the. They’ll also be worthless to poachers.

Those are closer to horse-sized, but it’s a good start.

I’ve said this a million times before, but if we’re playing gods anyway, can’t we make them dog sized also?

I would totally get one or maybe two.

This is good news for bot farms working to sow division.

Nah, they should keep that stuff on Android. I like that I only have one app store. I used custom roms, weird alternative app stores and all that stuff for years on Android, but I like that iOS is built on a different philosophy.

Also, I just realized today that if EU forces Apple to open iOS to more stores, shouldn’t they force MS and Sony to do the same for Xbox and Playstation?

I’m using Voyager browse and interact with Lemmy. It looks more or less exactly like Apollo and it’s a webapp. There’s a few small things that’s not exactly as a native app, like double tapping the top of a scrolling window to scroll to top, but it’s really minor. I bet most people wouldn’t know it was a webapp if they weren’t told.

It even works with the sharing intent so I can share to native apps. Pretty awesome.

Well, if they didn’t care about being flooded with machine generated trash, they wouldn’t have set the limit to books you can self publish down to a mere three per day.

Here’s a basically fully automated service where you can generate a shitty book for $200. You can even have it printed as a paperback for more useless waste or have it AI narrated as a shitty audiobook.

I hate everything about it.

This can only mean that Google is about to axe a product that people like and instead introduce a new chat app.

I assume by “fail” you mean “didn’t succeed in preventing California from building an efficient high-speed rail system”, right?

You probably underestimate the amount of effort Apple puts into not doing this to maintain user privacy and for a good while, their services have suffered for it. As an example I’d highlight the year in review feature between Apple Music and Spotify. “Replay” is significantly worse than “Wrapped” and I believe the difference is data handling is the key differentiator. However, there are some advances in balancing privacy 2ith utility, as highlighted in this post from Apple ML research: https://machinelearning.apple.com/research/scenes-differential-privacy

Sure, but if we just didn’t do stuff because it’s hard, then we’d never chosen to go to the moon. That guy on TV said so.

We might not do stuff because it’s an awful and downright terrible idea, but both looking at humanity as whole and my own personal experience, that doesn’t seem to be much of a deterrent either.

Yeah, why should such a thing be regulated?

We all probably still remember the East Palestine accident, but all that turned alright in the end didn’t it?

Yeah it makes total sense. It’s a fantastic way to make sure you only get the most gullible, hardcore idiots that are easy to make money off.

It’s like those longer running scams. They have built in mechanisms to find the best marks, by disqualifying anyone who might not be easy to convince early.

Same here. If you cultivate a crowd of conspiracy theorists, that have a proven track record of being easily swayed not by evidence but by lack of evidence, then you got the full-day morons eating from your hand.

Stupid headlines like this, are making us collectively dumber.

What if push messages doesn’t happen on your phone but is somehow “pushed” from somewhere else?

Netflix was in competition with piracy. They competed mostly on two parameters: price and convenience, but catalog is also a secondary or tertiary parameter.

Piracy is kinda free unless you pay for newsgroups, seedbox or straight up membership. It’s also inconvenient for most people. The catalog is basically unlimited if you know where to look.

Paid streaming or digital purchases wins on convenience, but at a greater price and with a limited catalog.

With older content constantly being bounced around different services, aggressive anti-shsring measures and continually rising prices, paid streaming is becoming less and less attractive, as we’re slowly sliding back to the times of cable TV, albeit video on-demand this time around.

“prayer warrior” is one of my favorite concepts. Those two words are just so comically incompatible.

It’s a grown up Noogler.
