- Comment on Duffy to announce nuclear reactor on the moon 1 day ago:
How stupid.
- Comment on Microsoft CFO calls for 'intensity' in an internal memo, after blowout earnings 2 days ago:
They stopped venturing a long time ago. Microsoft should’ve been split up. Then maybe some of their consumer products would’ve survived and thrived.
- Comment on Microsoft CFO calls for 'intensity' in an internal memo, after blowout earnings 2 days ago:
- cloud services exceeded $75 billion
- Office productivity software and LinkedIn, delivered $33.11 billion in revenue
- Personal Computing unit, which encompasses Windows, search advertising, devices and video games, totaled $13.45 billion
Writing is on the wall. Xbox and Windows made money, but a fraction of what Office and enterprise services made.
- Comment on It's utterly hypocritical that the "defence" industry/sector is not called what it really is, the war industry. 4 days ago:
I’ve always heard to it referred to as the “military industrial complex”. Eisenhower tried to warn us about it in the 1950s.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
“She controls his agenda.”
Define agenda. Are we talking meetings calendar? Because people like Putin and Peter Thiel influence what Trump actually says and does.
- Comment on Microsoft is killing off Windows 11 SE, its Chrome OS competitor 4 days ago:
They were stupid not to give it away for free, with a paid upgrade path to the full version.
- Comment on Google loses app store antitrust appeal, must make sweeping changes to Play Store 5 days ago:
Bizarre ruling. There are plenty of other ways to get apps on an Android phone. Amazon even had an App Store for a while.
- Comment on Zuckerberg says people without AI glasses will be at a disadvantage in the future 5 days ago:
Zuck says a lot of things. Reprinting his sales pitches as news is a disservice.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x04 "A Space Adventure Hour" 6 days ago:
I’ve entered the mourning phase for Star Trek and have finally stopped watching. Similar to what happened with Doctor Who. Instead of telling good sci fi stories, it’s morphed into “Wow whacky can we be?” It’s all singing all dancing puppet show hour now.
It doesn’t help that it’s on the “we fire people to please Trump” network.
- Comment on Lemmy User Feedback and Improvement Thread: Share Your Complaints, Suggestions, and Ideas 6 days ago:
The All feed is useless because it’s the same meme or news story posted 100 times each day because everyone thinks they have to start their own sub for memes or news stories.
- Comment on Lemmy User Feedback and Improvement Thread: Share Your Complaints, Suggestions, and Ideas 6 days ago:
Lemmy needs a hierarchy similar to Usenet, or a way to tag each c/ with keywords to make it easier for the user or client software to block huge swaths of topics the user is not interested in.
Examples: Memes. Sports. News. Politics. Entertainment. Music.
It would improve signal to noise ratio in the All feed, allowing users to find new content they are interested in, rather than simply 100 dupes of things they are not.
- Comment on Puppets Explained, Sybok Teased, TAS Episode Scrapped, And More ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ SDCC Reveals 1 week ago:
I would much rather have seen a TAS-style SNW episode than puppets.
- Comment on Billionaire Peter Thiel backing first privately developed US uranium enrichment facility in Paducah 1 week ago:
Can’t wait for some of this uranium to mysteriously go missing and then no one be held accountable.
- Comment on On Tuesday afternoon, ChatGPT encouraged me to cut my wrists 1 week ago:
I cannot wait for the evangelicals to start freaking out about “satanic” AI!
- Comment on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 | SDCC Surprise 1 week ago:
😆
- Comment on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 | SDCC Surprise 1 week ago:
They need new show runners. Paramount just got bought out by SkyDance, so we’ll see if they make any changes or leave this franchise on its current course.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
I haven’t had a problem with NSFW content when that setting was turned on. There are occasionally shirtless pics of men There’s also a lot of clothed anime titties (think Lara Croft).
If you’re really worried about what your children are going to see, you really should installed some sort of parental filter software. BlueSky is not the only app that can expose children to adult content.
I believe there are also a lot of pre-made blocklists you can set up on blue sky that might help you. Though I have not tried that myself yet.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Learn to install parental filtering on your device if you’re worried about it.
- Comment on StarLink reportedly down world wide 1 week ago:
Bizarre that there’s a single point of failure for the entire network.
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxi Stops Mid-Intersection After Running a Red Light… The Influencer Onboard Calls It “Impressive” 1 week ago:
How much was the influencer paid to say this?
- Comment on Bringing Back Trelane | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1 week ago:
Did they finally retcon him into the Q continuum?
- Comment on White House unveils sweeping plan to “win” global AI race through deregulation 1 week ago:
All deregulation wins you is nobody buying your low quality product.
- Comment on Just a reminder that one out of three calories produced in the US gets thrown away because of shit like this 1 week ago:
There are laws in place now in most US states that encourage businesses to donate unused restaurant food. You’d think a “Christian” company like chik-fil-a would do that.
- Comment on OpenAI CEO Sam Altman thinks some jobs will be 'totally, totally gone' thanks to AI, but he still wouldn't trust ChatGPT with his 'medical fate' 1 week ago:
I wouldn’t trust ChatGPT either, but I don’t think it’s designed for medical uses to begin with.
There are AI engines used in medical fields and they can be advantageous in making connections that we haven’t found before. But ChatGPT ain’t it.
- Comment on Listening to stuff on your phone with bluetooth headphones has a fringe benefit of letting you know when you forgot your phone somewhere 2 weeks ago:
Wireless CarPlay has that effect too. If you don’t see CarPlay maps on your dashboard then you know you’ve driven off without your phone.
- Comment on 6G mobile could divide the world 2 weeks ago:
And yet I’m in a major city and often my phone says LTE.
I have not been impressed with 5G.
- Comment on To survive the AI age, the web needs a new business model 2 weeks ago:
You do that and the prices will just keep going up. See Netflix/streaming as an example. Enough $ is never enough. Line must go up.
- Comment on Common sugar substitute shown to impair brain cells, boost stroke risk 2 weeks ago:
You’d think they’d list that in their website.
- Comment on Common sugar substitute shown to impair brain cells, boost stroke risk 2 weeks ago:
Ingredients:
“Maltodextrin, Monk Fruit Extract”
No mention of erythritol.
- Comment on Some thoughts on Surf, Flipboard's fediverse app 2 weeks ago:
That is one janky app icon for a developer group that named itself “Icon Factory”.
