True. But back then they made money on advertising. Now we’re funding them directly.
Do you part - cancel the service.

- Comment on Reporters Without Borders sues X 2 days ago:
The press freedom group Reporters Without Borders on Thursday announced that it is suing the social media company X, accusing it of spreading disinformation.
After Reporters Without Borders, or RSF, discovered that it was the target of a disinformation campaign this past summer, the Paris-based group filed 10 reports of policy violations with X, formerly known as Twitter.
Since none of the posts in question have been removed, RSF opted to sue the company in French courts “for its complicity in disseminating false information, misrepresentation and identity theft,” the group said in a statement.

The person who found him marked the event by saying, “Hi ho! Kermit the Frog here”

None. Go nuts.
- Comment on Why are people preferring Blue Sky over Mastodon? 2 days ago:
Because no one made a droolproof guide to migrating to Mastodon and Bluesky put money into it.
For people who can’t remember their password, it’s preferable.

Well is it an American-born cat weighing 300 kilos and with the intelligence of a toddler and the morals of a seagull? Because they could run for president.
- Comment on Here’s the paper no one read before declaring the demise of modern cryptography 2 weeks ago:
Man, quantum computers has been about-to-break-encryption since the 90s. The hype never ends, just a new crop of people first hear it then figure out it’s bullshit.
- Comment on Dropbox lays off 20% of staff, says it overinvested and underperformed 2 weeks ago:
As soon as I read that, years ago, I thought “Well Dropbox. That was a very poor choice.”
I haven’t considered it since.
“You can use it with Dropbox!” they say.
Yeah, nah.

Was Condi Rice one of them?

It is pretty neat. Plus the kind of music-box music in the background is . . somehow appropriate for floating in space.

- Comment on How are scammers getting my email address? 2 weeks ago:
A program to send to [list of firstname.lastname pulled from the census]@gmail.com or whatever is pretty easy. Also merchants sell the email lists for $ so if you’ve bought anything with that email that could be it.

Welp. Can’t defend that.
- Comment on What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs 2 weeks ago:
I suppose that’s a little like working to save the earth and working for big oil. Yes, one could do both but . . why?
- Comment on Concerns about medical note-taking tool raised after researcher discovers it invents things no one said — Nabla is powered by OpenAI's Whisper 2 weeks ago:
Agreed.
we can think of it as a person who can think quickly
No.
Do not do this. This way lies madness. It’s a text prediction system which is incredibly complex just to get it to barf out three sentences that sound about right. It is not “thinking” shit.

TFW you continue fucking around with Windows rather than learn Linux
- Comment on Microsoft CEO earns $30.6 million more despite laying off over 2,000 employees in 2024 — salary package represents a 63% raise from the previous year 3 weeks ago:
Fun Fact: Micro$oft is an evil-as-shit corporation and always has been.
- Comment on New slop just dropped, from OpenAI 3 weeks ago:
Art is subjective, but this isn’t really art, it’s just AI slop. It’s incredible to me that this is what OpenAI thinks we should be excited about.
It was neat at first but now, two years later, as Schmidt is arguing we should abandon environmental goals to power AI, and billions in venture capital has been thrown away on this instead of actual, useful, functional technologies, it’s clear this isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
This is their flagship video, already couched in “dreamy” and “fantastical” descriptors and it’s terrible. Generative AI is garbage. Actual data science and ML isn’t sexy and the profit margins are less.

They were magical.
- Comment on What Ever Happened to Netscape? 3 weeks ago:
When Microsoft released IE6 2001 they didn’t bother releasing another major version for 6 years as they were so dominant.
They were also, eventually, much too late to matter, convicted of being a monopoly as a result of the IE money grab.

Oh it took me a solid month of trial and error, scrolling through xda and other forums reading every how-to and watching plenty of vids and I finally got it to work. But it was not even fun. Yes starting with a Pixel is better, but f* teh googlez.
