  So they:

  • Didn’t ask editors/users
  • noticed loud and overwhelmingly negative feedback
  • "paused" the program

  They still don’t get it. There’s very little practical use for LLMs in general, and certainly not in scholastic spaces. The content is all user-generated anyway, so what’s even the point? It’s not saving them any money.

  Also it seems like a giant waste of resources for a company that constantly runs giant banners asking for money and claiming to basically be on there verge of closing up every time you visit their site.

  Because they don’t care. Even if it leads to potential abortion legal charges.

  Yeah it’s broken right now. You are subscribed it will just take a long time to take. Come back and check again in a couple of hours.

  Physical goods are no different in that when you pre-order something you really have no idea what you’re getting. You’re counting on the reputation of the company to deliver on their claims. Which is often a bad idea.

  I sure as hell am glad I bought my Switch and and several games second hand

  I had a Switch but I sold it after realizing that even second hand games sell for 90% of new. I’ve no idea how the economics of that situation works out…

  Not a fan.

  Let me know when PieFed finds itself with a half decent frontend.

  You shouldn’t expect full interoperability with this alone! At most, you should expect that your public posts get shared with your followers on Mastodon (i.e. an outbox)

  Any plans to support PDFs or video conversion/compression?

  You don’t start a good faith discussion with unfounded accusations. Goodbye.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨iFixit says the Switch 2 is even harder to repair than the original⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You can assume whatever you want. You get what you give.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨iFixit says the Switch 2 is even harder to repair than the original⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t get to accuse me of trolling and then continue asking questions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Arc Browser Is Dead⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not dead. As far as I can tell the author just made that up, because they didn’t cite any sources, and the actual official sources indicate otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Arc Browser Is Dead⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  LOL no. 96% is not irrelevant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Arc Browser Is Dead⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Because 96% of people aren’t using Linux to browse the web.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Arc Browser Is Dead⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The Browser Company, the developer behind the Arc Browser, has announced that Arc is going away

  Where? Where did they do this? Why is there no link? They said several times, very recently, that it was not going away. They were just not going to be adding new features anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Arc Browser Is Dead⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Zen does

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The american crypto mafia⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It has their name and where it came from so. Yes?

  That’s not what I asked.

  Are you expecting people to direct link everything even when it is already atributed?

  I mean is that really too much to expect of people? To simply copy the link where they found the information and post it along with where they shared it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨iFixit says the Switch 2 is even harder to repair than the original⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re the one that said it, not me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨iFixit says the Switch 2 is even harder to repair than the original⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is based on what?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨iFixit says the Switch 2 is even harder to repair than the original⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  “magical” glue? I don’t know what you’re talking about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨iFixit says the Switch 2 is even harder to repair than the original⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Every minute of my day does not have a monetary value, no. And if your does, I pity you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨iFixit says the Switch 2 is even harder to repair than the original⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well that’s sucks but I still don’t understand why I’m being quoted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨iFixit says the Switch 2 is even harder to repair than the original⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re literally not LOL.

  If they glue in the battery it doesn’t cost me anything extra to remove it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨iFixit says the Switch 2 is even harder to repair than the original⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not repairing it, that’s just breaking it further.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨iFixit says the Switch 2 is even harder to repair than the original⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m neither but you are a jackass, goodbye.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨iFixit says the Switch 2 is even harder to repair than the original⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oof.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨iFixit says the Switch 2 is even harder to repair than the original⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re saying having appropriate tools for the job and the difficulty of the job have no relationship?

  Typically not having the right tools makes it impossible, not hard.

  Are you against right to repair? It seems implicit in your comments.

  How the hell do you reach that conclusion? Where’s the logic there?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨iFixit says the Switch 2 is even harder to repair than the original⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s neither, it’s impossible

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨iFixit says the Switch 2 is even harder to repair than the original⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m well aware of what I said, thank you. Is there a point you’d like to make?
