Next: make it so games can’t suddenly lose their music license. This is so incredible annoying. I know it’s depending on what the publishers negotiated, but it shouldn’t be possible to suddenly patch out soundtracks because of a license expire.

I always laugh at stuff like the small dust cloud of the cucumber, as if it just popped into existence and caused air pressure.

Fdroid is pretty good, I get most of my apps from there by now. I don’t game on my phone though.

- Comment on Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button? 4 days ago:
I use my phone on 10% brightness, in a completely dark room often (every day, every morning, every night). Not sure about you, but I guess face-ID doesn’t work then.
- Comment on Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button? 5 days ago:
It’s much better to reach. I’ll never buy a phone again without finger print reader below the screen. On my S10 it’s also very reliable. It works 95 of 100 times and those 5 times my finger was just weird on the screen and not centered.

Sounds more like them trying to boost their stock price with rumors.
- Comment on “Model collapse” threatens to kill progress on generative AIs 1 week ago:
Yup, old news and wrong news. Also so many people who hate AI but don’t understand how it works. Pretty disappointing for a technology community.

In German venomous and poisonous is the same word. It absolutely does work.
- Comment on unwatchable!! 1 week ago:
Well, language eveolves, maybe the distinction isn’t that important any more. Other languages don’t have it and usually you add more context to something. Also when was the last time you tried to eat an unknown animal? Or where in a situation, where you had to decide if the dangerous looking animal is only supposed to be uneatable instead of venomous?

- Comment on The two most upvoted comments on any Lemmy instance are on Feddit.dk, but you won't see them on your own instance 2 weeks ago:
It causes people to wander off as they think theres not enough interactions compared to other social media. The first comment you linked shows only 141 points for me.
- Comment on Discord lowers free upload limit to 10MB: “Storage management is expensive” 2 weeks ago:
It’s a big lie. Why not offer the option to delete automatically after 24h if 15mb extra is so much storage?
Or is it about bandwidth? Why no automatic compression on desktop? Oh wait, that feature existed in the past was scrapped. They think you’re fools.

Some good companies will provide you with paid education, of course it’s in form of a training, to an important topic used in that company.
- Comment on Research shows more than 80% of AI projects fail, wasting billions of dollars in capital and resources: Report 4 weeks ago:
In a few years either people hate AI bots so much, that products with it start losing sales, or every coffee machine will have one. Exciting times ahead.
- Comment on Research shows more than 80% of AI projects fail, wasting billions of dollars in capital and resources: Report 4 weeks ago:
This is very broad. Compare AI to software projects and it’s like a 5% difference. Picking every non AI and put it into the same pool is very misleading.
- Comment on Research shows more than 80% of AI projects fail, wasting billions of dollars in capital and resources: Report 4 weeks ago:
That’s great. Like 5% more fails than regular software projects. Why do people see this as validation for AI failing? Lol

That’s when you write an AI auto reply cron. Hehe

No, going by them, they just talk to an AI voice and it will pop out a finished product.

But coding never was the difficult part. It’s understanding a concept, identify a problem and solve it with the possible methods. An AI just makes the coding part faster and gives me options to quicker identify a possible solution. Thankfully there’s a never ending pile of projects, issues, todos and stackholder wants, that I don’t see how we need less programmers. Maybe we need more to deal with AI, as now people can do a lot more in house instead of outsourcing, but as soon as that threshold is reached, companies will again contact large software companies. If people want to put AI into everything, you need people feeding the AI with company specific data and instruct people to use this AI.
All I see is middle management getting replaced, because instead of a boring meeting, I could just ask an AI.
- Comment on YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers 5 weeks ago:
Then google got greedy and ruined it’s own ad service. Imagine google would’ve stopped at this early point. A single, non flashing banner ad would generate as much as 5 multiple second video ads do now. But ads got used more and more inflationary, to the point where we are now.

There 2D is like our 4D. The same way we can’t see 4D, they see 2D as normal and 3D is unachievable to them as for us 4D

- Comment on Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say 5 weeks ago:
Downvotes are one of the most important indicator if a post is trolling or nonsense. If it only shows the total, you lose all sense of perspective. A post could have 2 upvotes and 1 downvote or 10000 upvotes and 9999 downvoted, this massively changes the context of a post. Also why should I not use a vote to say I disagreed with something? I don’t always want to write a detailed explanation, especially not when people reply with “did an AI write this?” or simply ignore what I said. Most cases are not like your comment where there’s a valid reason to explain something.

Yup. Host your own instance and you could even write a browser plugin to make them visible to every user.

I don’t want votes to be public, but they already are, so.
