- Comment on What DID Apple innovate? 6 months ago:
Marketing.
- Comment on Solar rooftops gain traction as electric vehicles owners look to skip paying for electricity or gasoline: ‘Solar just makes sense’ 6 months ago:
Fast-charging an EV for an hour would use the same amount of electricity a home would likely use in a day.
- Comment on Asking ChatGPT to Repeat Words ‘Forever’ Is Now a Terms of Service Violation 6 months ago:
There was personal information included in the data. Did no one actually read the article?
- Comment on Over half of all tech industry workers view AI as overrated 7 months ago:
Big emphasis on the ‘A’
- Comment on Google witness accidentally blurts out that Apple gets 36% cut of Safari deal 7 months ago:
Only idiots think Apple is privacy friendly lol.
Apple has everyone fooled.
Apple are privacy-focused insofar as they will privately sell your data, sneakily.
- Comment on The people who ruined the internet 7 months ago:
Ja that’s right, I knew it was a plant or something. Thanks!
- Comment on The people who ruined the internet 7 months ago:
Now you’ve outdone Google.
Alright, calm down. If they “outdid” Google, they would have their own SEO dreamland platform. All they did was work within the confines of Google’s algorithms, A/B testing until something works. When Google makes changes they repeat. Overall the Internet is in a reeeeally shitty state due to the marketization of search results. There have been done things I have searched for whereby there were pages of what was essentially cloned articles. Many times I’m unable to even find what I’m looking for. Recent example, there was that article posted about that AI service / software that aimed to poison images, I don’t remember the name. I tried searching for the actual software / website. I gave up and never found it through the utter bullshit “articles” all spouting the exact same thing and clearly taking advantage of the “freshness” and relevancy of the tool.
- Comment on Scarlett Johansson hits AI app with legal action for cloning her voice in an ad | An AI-generated version of Scarlett Johansson’s voice appeared in an online ad without her consent. 7 months ago:
It is. Something something, using their likeness (in a commercial context).
- Comment on Meta faces permanent ban on targeted ads across Europe 7 months ago:
All of those are outside activities, right? In my town we have flyers and stuff in a few different locations. At times I get annoyed I can’t find information about events online, and then I think no it’s actually a good thing.
- Comment on The pirates are back - Anew study from the European Union’s Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) suggest that online piracy has increased for the first time in years. In fact, piracy rates have bee... 8 months ago:
That’s perfect. There was a thread not too long ago discussing how Amazon Prime removed am item from someone’s media library and gave them $5 as “compensation”. Imagine someone coming into your house and taking something they don’t sell anymore and leaving 5 bucks on your kitchen counter for your troubles. So many people in this world want their cake and eat it too, you can’t have it both ways. If it was agreed that buying a digital asset conferred some type of ownership, they might have an argument now. They made their bed, now they can piss off and do what they want with it, it’s theirs to do with as they please because we can never own a part of it.

Define stealing digital content.
- Comment on First Real Self Host Setup question 8 months ago:
Unraid (you pay for how many disks you have in your array, you can get the unlimited one for like $119 - would have to double-check but it’s around 100 bucks, it’s not subscription-based, so once you buy it you have it for good). Been using it for years, it’s great and is pretty easy to set up. If you have any questions let me know. They’re constantly improving it.
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
One day they find a way to inject ads into the downloaded file, don’t worry.
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
What are people doing to get this message? I haven’t seen a YouTube ad in so long I can’t remember.
-
Don’t use the official app, use something like NewPipe or the equivalent on iPhone, on desktop use Firefox with uBlock origin (go into settings and enable filters at your leisure)
-
Get a VPN that has adblocking built in (I use Mullvad, I honestly don’t know how effective it is because I have other adblocking as well on top)
-
if you want to get fancy with your home network, use AdGuard on a raspberry pi or docker or whatever works best for you

- Comment on Apple’s “carbon neutral” claims are facing increased scrutiny 8 months ago:
I tried looking into “carbon neutral” the other day and got lost in a sea of bullshit. I didn’t find a source that goes into the whole process in actual detail. I mean explaining things and giving practical examples of it all. I came out of it thinking, wow it’s all just complete nonsense. “We do what we can to reduce emissions, then pay someone else to ‘offset’ the remaining emissions somehow by mysterious companies”. Don’t ask any more questions, okay? It’s magic.
- Comment on Microsoft develops ultra durable glass plates that can store several TBs of data for 10000 years 8 months ago:
I almost literally yawned reading the title. “Journalists” regurgitating things they don’t understand and hyping them everytime like it’s the breakthrough of the century. I feel it waters down actual breakthroughs and makes people immune or at least apathetic to these stories because it’s the same thing over and over.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella admits giving up on Windows Phone and mobile was a mistake 8 months ago:
HTC TyTN II. Loved that thing. Used to pay Age of Empires on it.
- Comment on Looking for a Linux-Compatible Alternative to Descript for Podcast Editing 8 months ago:
Reached out (posted on their feedback site). Linux has been requested since 4 years ago so not high priority by the looks. With other issues I’ve been having I may move away from it soon if they’re not resolved.
- Comment on Amazon Prime Video is able to remove a video from your library after purchase. 8 months ago:
So you’re saying it’s relatively cheap for the privilege of being in an abusive relationship?
- Comment on Ever received a parcel notification that seemed a bit off? 📦 8 months ago:
It was shortened so wasn’t immediately obvious, though not from a common URL shortening service - not that that matters too much. But I’m the same, better to be suspicious first.
- Comment on Looking for a Linux-Compatible Alternative to Descript for Podcast Editing 8 months ago:
I’ll try reaching out, thanks!

Lucky!

Nope! Didn’t order anything so was pretty suss.
