But would they though?

Their terms of service tend to say “fuck you, talk to our lawyers”.

Shareholders should be pleased, right? Providing a service is a cost. Innovating by “not doing it” should really help their bottom line?

I’m waiting for Google to get refreshingly direct, and simplify their terms of service to:

“1. Fuck the law. and 2. You agree to take personal responsibility when the law eventually notices Google’s bullshit.”

This is so cool.

Also, I find the Windows compatibility funny, like modifying a compact car to add a flat bed just for hauling chicken droppings.

It is so technically impressive, but would make me question all of my life choices.

Not my living room. Nice try, fuckers.

Anything you do on USPS also goes to Google.

Opening a PO Box in person should avoid this issue.

Post Office Boxes are the solution.

Doesn’t outlook support imap?

Officially, it can. Many organizations turn IMAP off “for security reasons.”

Edit: Microsoft routinely turns off features for security reasons, so this comment may age poorly, if not already.

Stupidest timeline.

Makes sense. Building a home ‘steam machine’ alternative for my home TV has been on my own todo list for awhile. (Unless I can get my hands om the real deal before I get around to it, I suppose.)

Thanks.

Thats makes me wonder if the dip there is natural wear and tear taking SteamDecks out of play, and folks not replacing them because there were none in stock for awhile this summer.

Does anyone have their Steam Holo yet? Or could that drop just be all of the Valve staff taking a break from their game testing?

Lots of organizations have a “ooh scary Linux” server or two that they rely on, but failed to retain the talent needed to maintain it. If you’ve been running desktop Linux, and know some basic command line tools, you’re way ahead of most people they will interview for the role.

The downside is that they might feel that they can maybe just keep ignoring their problem for another year, and some will.

Yes. And perhaps, given time, accessing the wrong version of certain sensitive historic events could even be tracked that way.

politicians like political donations.

Really meta can’t figure out are we humans or not with this massive of data they collect?

That part really pisses me off. Asking for any kind of identity verification is just them gas lighting their users.

This sounds a lot like gripes that older generations have always had about younger generations.

But this younger generation is the youngest one yet!

Thank you for your wisdom, Comrade Shark Fucker.

Why reference the imperfect copies gen AI makes when you have databases of the real original artists and pictures and 3d scans of real things in the world out there to reference.

I think it is because one of these approaches requires skill and time, the other requires a ChatGPT subscription and George Jetson to push one idiotic button.

It makes people feel that they can contribute in fields where they were previously (and still are) useless.

Pandora’s box is open and will never close again.

Yes…but this Pandora’s box just had a fart in it.

We know we can’t put the fart back in the box.

We just want people to stop acting like it is about to revolutionize modern cinema.

All it is going to do is clear the room.
