- Comment on Nintendo Is Now Going After YouTube Accounts Which Show Its Games Being Emulated 1 month ago:
Should is the key word here. You pay a lawyer to find out, which probably isn’t worth it.
- Comment on Temporary rule: No shitposts on vegan pets and feeding them. 2 months ago:
That’s fucking gold.
- Comment on Why my apps will soon be gone from the Google Play Store 2 months ago:
When its not optional to publish email only, the proposed solution is pretty reasonable imo.
- Comment on Bluetooth 6.0 adds centimeter-level accuracy for device tracking — upgraded version also improves device pairing 2 months ago:
Does it actually improve the pairing experience? I am skeptical it will make any difference.
- Comment on Amazon cloud boss echoes NVIDIA CEO on coding being dead in the water: "If you go forward 24 months from now, it's possible that most developers are not coding" 2 months ago:
You can definitely ‘chat’ with copilot, like other llms as well as the inline editor auto complete.
- Comment on Microsoft finally officially confirms it's killing Windows Control Panel sometime soon 2 months ago:
I have been able to live with everything else, but this is the one that kills me every time.
- Comment on Ars Technica content is now available in OpenAI services 2 months ago:
Yeah. That post has over 900 comments, which is rare even for an Ars article. Mostly negative sentiment, which I get.
- Comment on Current best lemmy clients 2 months ago:
Not seeing it on f-droid yet.
- Comment on Google Is the Only Search Engine That Works on Reddit Now Thanks to AI Deal 3 months ago:
It’s a never ending onslaught of beginner questions and experienced folks with domain knowledge burn out. I’m sure it’s good when it’s new and fresh and everyone is exited to participate, but that wears out. It’s why things went away from mailing lists, or why mailing lists started getting archived, so they could be searched.
I guess with most things it comes in cycles, and we’re at the on demand answers cycle right now.
- Comment on Google Is the Only Search Engine That Works on Reddit Now Thanks to AI Deal 3 months ago:
Ephemeral discord servers are awful because they don’t scale and they can only ever help the lowest common denominator of questions/issues. We need something else, but it has yet to present itself as a solution.
- Comment on Microsoft says it won't let you use Mail & Calendar app on Windows 11 3 months ago:
This looks really good. Thanks, I had no idea it was out there.
- Comment on The AI-focused COPIED Act would make removing digital watermarks illegal 4 months ago:
Regarding obsolete models, that’s only partially true. There’s loads of content that are effectively “finished” and won’t be changing, and will grow obsolete at a fairly slow pace. Meaning they’ll be useful in the models once trained for years.
Obviously new technology and similar ideas/content that didn’t exist when the model was created won’t be there, but the amount that changes and or is new is relatively small each year compared to all the historical content.
- Comment on The AI-focused COPIED Act would make removing digital watermarks illegal 4 months ago:
Nah. They will cross licence with the other big players effectively closing the market to anyone they don’t bless.
- Comment on The AI-focused COPIED Act would make removing digital watermarks illegal 4 months ago:
How’d that work out for them? Answer? Not well. History repeats itself, so here we go!
- Comment on Scalpers Work With Hackers to Liberate Ticketmaster's ‘Non-Transferable’ Tickets 4 months ago:
To them it’s a feature, not a bug.
- Comment on Proton just launched a privacy-focused alternative to Google Docs 4 months ago:
This is fantastic. Been waiting for this for years.
Had to jump into the Web app to see if it was really there, and it was and worked just like they said it would.
- Comment on Lemmy is the best social media 4 months ago:
Former kbiner, but out of the loop on this one. What’s I miss?
- Comment on Internet Archive forced to remove 500,000 books after publishers’ court win 4 months ago:
Maybe the fact you have to be there and read it while connected is the secret sauce to prove that it’s a “real” library, meaning they have a fixed number of copies (max players connected to the server at any given time) and that helps them get protected the same way a real library is?
- Comment on Squarespace to Go Private in $6.9B All-Cash Transaction with Permira 5 months ago:
There are definitely still shareholders, they’re just private.
- Comment on Stack Overflow Users Are Revolting Against an OpenAI Deal | WIRED 5 months ago:
I’m right there with you. It’s nice to know it’s been there if I needed it. I don’t find myself there very often anymore and when I do it’s often to compare official docs to other ways to approach something or because the getting started section of the official docs felt weird or wrong.
- Comment on Republicans are pulling out all the stops to reverse EV adoption 6 months ago:
People that pay the tax on gasoline.
- Comment on That time when Microsoft bought and killed Nokia phone unit 6 months ago:
Windows phone keyboard was leaps and bounds ahead of iOS and Android. I still miss that keyboard. Swiftkey on android just isn’t the same.
- Comment on In a thousand years teachers will have a hard time explaining the origins of one of the most dangerous and ill-conceived weapons ever invented: the lightsaber 6 months ago:
Can you read data off a floppy disk today? How many others can? How many in fifty years can? The point is that left alone our physical media of today is not compatible in the future because you need specialty tools to read it.
Anyone can pickup and read a piece of paper or a rock with carvings in it. The point is that not only does the media need to survive, but the means to make use of it needs to survive as well.
That is the key issue with technology today. Someone needs to keep loving the data from floppy to zip drive to thumb drive to hard drive to whatever is next or it’s lost.
- Comment on IRS says its number of audits is about to surge. Here's who the agency is targeting. 6 months ago:
Werfel noted that the IRS’ strategic plan over the next three tax years include a sharp increase in audits, although the agency reiterated it won’t boost its enforcement for people who earn less than $400,000 annually — which covers the bulk of U.S. taxpayers.

- Comment on How working for Big Tech lost 'dream job' status 6 months ago:
I would argue that devs getting 500k in stocks are at least decent at negotiating and other soft skills.
You don’t get that kind of compensation for just having tech chops.
- Comment on ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say 6 months ago:
it’s not like it will auto-delete.
You’re probably right it won’t, but it definitely could be done by Apple and Google.
- Comment on Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works 7 months ago:
What would you classify google or apple portrait mode as? It’s definitely doing something. We can probably agree, at this point it’s still a reasonably enhanced version of what was really there, but maybe a Snapchat filter that turns you into a dog is obviously too much. The question is where in that spectrum is the AI or algorithm too much?
- Comment on Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works 7 months ago:
This is what I was wondering about as I read the article. At what point does the post processing on the device become too much?
- Comment on Paying people to work on open source is good actually 8 months ago:
I think if you look at your average “package” from GitHub, that is published to npm, nuget, or the associated language rep, by and large they’re not making any money.
Sure big projects are making money and have paid development teams, but that’s not true at the individual library level in many cases.
- Comment on Sustaining Proton’s mission over time | Proton 8 months ago:
Yes, it’s mentioned in the post.
