This meme gets funnier and funnier every time I read it!

Crypto enthusiasts don’t really care or understand decentralization. If you talk to crypto bros you will realize pretty quickly that a lot of them are very very low IQ morons.

I was at an event and met a crypto bro. He tried to explain to a group of us that btc is like moss and the world is the forest. A couple people legitimately “got it” and began to get excited about crypto.

Get out of here with your reasoning. It’s more fun to feign outrage because it gives me an opportunity to feel smart. If you start to invalidate my superiority by pointing out how arbitrary and dramatic my response is then I’m going to downvote you.

What do you think would be a sensible dress code? Or would you say that all dress codes are bad?

I’m just curious. I don’t have a strong opinion one way or the other.

Well, if your argument is: “any company that becomes a monopoly will abuse monopoly power”, then sure I agree with you. You got me there!

My argument is: “given a reliable financial alternative to advertising, a company will be able to resist enshitification for a long time, as long as there is no absolute tyrannical monopoly.”

I assumed the last part was implied and I’m sorry for the confusion!

You have to pay for kagi so they are not incentivized to serve ads. They are incentivized to give you a good set of search results so you keep paying.

This is standard. You always get rid of the upper management. You give them a lot of money and a round of applause and then you put your own people in. Everyone at the top will be Microsoft.

“wow you have the entire knowledge of the world in your pocket what do you use it for?”

“Tiktok.”

I have read through it and I really think she did assault contra.

These are, what I understand to be, facts.

1. They were super close and had a falling out.
2. Contra said someone close to her assaulted her.
3. Contra says she won’t name names because internet justice is misguided and bad.

So from those facts we can speculate further. The community firmly believed contra was referencing Abigail during (2). I’ve read into it and I firmly believe Abigail did that. I refuse to watch PT now. Ofc, my personal opinion is irrelevant to anyone else but at least know that there is a significant contingent on the internet who believes this.

Here is a rumor I found doing a 5 second Google search. It is not proof but it is also not me being a random speculator.

This is not the only place I’ve seen this conspiracy.

Here’s a rumor https://isptdangerous.wordpress.com/

This is not proof but it’s also not me just randomly speculating.

They had to sell the console distribution fights to Ubisoft so at least you can look forward to that!

Didn’t this person assault contra?

Can you follow rss feeds on the fediverse?

In order to grow a chat app you need a consistent and stable interface over a long period of time. It can’t have too much bullshit in it either.

In order to grow your career at Google you need to build ridiculous shit and then leave once you get your promo. Entire departments get reorged so someone can hit their people manager quota.

Product groups, business units, “orgs”, VPs, SVPs, it’s all just a game and “everyone’s playing except you.” This is why Google kills shit. Because Google rewards behavior that results in killing shit.

Telemetry, in the context of software development and UX design, is either a decision by the misinformed or just an excuse to save costs by axing the Windows QA department.

That’s very silly. That’s actually such a ridiculous opinion I’m pretty sure you’ve left out some assumption that would make it make sense.

Except this isn’t 1982 and that computer is running Windows 11, not Multix. The CPU probably has at least 8 cores and the NIC can do at least a gigabit. A network retry is not going to matter.

I agree, it should be opt in. Where I disagree is with how strongly people react against it.

If you buy a car and it only comes with Bluetooth do you have a meltdown? Do you kick, scream, and cry that Big Car is going to steal your data? No that’s fucking ridiculous. But grown ass man children on Lemmy act that way when Microsoft wants to know how many gigs of ram they have.

Microsoft has more to lose than almost any other tech company. They also have more process, legal enforcement, and bureaucracy than most other tech companies.

There’s no fear of a lone engineer moving fast and breaking things at Microsoft. If someone at Microsoft had an idea for how they’d use your data they’d have to pass it through 5 chains of command, 2 tech orgs, and Legal just to begin the process.
