Fair, I do the same

That’s very good wording from them. I was worried they were going to try and throw ublock under the bus, when really ublock has had a boot on it’s neck from these big tech giants.

I’m very mixed. It’s a small team, they do great work and keep the internet functional for a huge chunk of us, and they’re burned out. It’s a defeat. However no one who uses adblock should be using Facebook either, it’s a garbage platform that is literally 97% ads. (I think I saw someone flipping through posts and only got to a “friend” post after going through like 30+ other garbage)

Sad and frustrating news.

I can honestly put up with a lot, especially in a doctor’s office. Hell it’s the only place I’m okay with something up my ass. I would walk out if my doctor came in with those glasses. I will go and find a new doctor. There is no way I am okay with a personal camera in that exam room.

Our parents. My mom is addicted, spends every spare moment endlessly scrolling. I tried for a while to get her off but you can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped. No shit she spent 10 straight hours on it once. Didn’t move at all, she is their ideal consumer.

Didn’t they just force it today or something? Not sure if I’d call that a huge commercial success if they’re forcing all of their users to use it

That LLM response from the search bar when you were just searching for a file? That’s not free, we have to pay for that! If you didn’t want it you shouldn’t have accidentally triggered it by needing to search for a file. That’s on you.

There’s no way a corporation can. It’s a very human experience, and corporations are the polar opposite.

Congrats! I know it’s yet another app but I think you’ll find the audiobooks tailored experience is so much nicer

Holy shit 25 fires? It’s too bad it took this one to catch him. 1 million seems low for the sheer property value at risk alone, not counting everything else

Right? Now I’m wondering if it was for some bullshit gambling payout.

Yes that would be the joke.

I was honestly rfully ready to be a sucker to buy a ps5 and gta6 on release day. Was ready for it. Money saved and set aside. All this anti consumer shit just made me not immediately.

Maybe that’s a good thing. Maybe the last thing they would do is sell off the up to better firms.

I just don’t use my phone. I have a card that I use only after I pay. The store I go to does not have dynamic pricing. That’s the most they’ll get from me.

Been saying for a while, download your stuff now folks. It’s a constant battle to prevent this shit. I’ll be mailing my reps (are you?) But plan for the worst.

AI enables the hubris that you can be an expert in any field. I use it daily, it gives you just enough info and knowledge that you feel that, right before it makes a huge fucking mistake.

That’s all this is, these people gain the arrogance that they can simply pick up another field. Same as management and executives. Anyone working with AI daily knows that’s all it is.

Does it help? Sure. In the hands of a capable engineer who knows what the hell it’s doing. In the hands of some entry-level or non tech person? Horrifying results and pure arrogance.

This is one of those things where we should be saying… “WHY THE HELL DOES OUR WATER INFRASTRUCTURE NEED TO BE ON THE INTERNET”

Completely shocked. The fact that they never took the beta tag off of it was clue enough for me.

I didn’t believe it until I started my own community. Now I’m ecstatic that I have about 3 posters.

Just like most AI, it makes the user lazier. And I’m someone who is forced to use AI for work and I can confirm.

Why would police actively try to solve a crime when they could lean on flock? Even if it gets it wrong they can say they tried and then move on.
