• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palantir CEO Alex Karp praises Saudi engineers and takes a swipe at Europe, saying it has 'given up' on AI⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The guys views make no sense. He’s basically a socialist who struck it rich and is now a conservative trying to use leftist ideas to attack the left. He still calls him self a socialist.

  Build fucking housing you dolt. Democrats really fucking don’t understand supply and demand. Single family zoning all over the state is the problem, so fix the fucking problem.

  You also have no stability. With a wage, you know what you’re getting and your employer can’t just cut wages easily. With gig work, you can wake up one day and suddenly they’ve slashed payouts without any negotiating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doom: The Dark Ages' PS5 physical release reportedly has just 85MB on disc, and Xbox isn't much bigger⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know much about the Dark Ages because I haven’t played it yet. I am somewhat skeptical of the shift in tone and the introduction of melee components like shield. Doom is about blasting demons on Mars. The medival stuff is a bit weird. I actually did like Eternal though, and felt it brought back the faster gameplay that 2016 lacked.

  You don’t go through US customs to leave the country.

  Same, once they violated certain principles, it was clear the site was dead. We need to do our best to build lemmy into something. It’ll take years.

  I wouldn’t even consider buying a car because of their policy around car play. Won’t even look at it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fucking leeches⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In reality, you would have needed to own these rental properties for decades to have enough cash flow in them to make you enough to live on AND pay for their mortgages, maintenance, insurance, taxes, and property management. This is likely

  The word “Forensic” is doing a lot of work here. There is nothing forensic about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do most Americans use an iPhone?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The ads are in the app store and about apps. Googles ads are all over the web and they’ve embedded trackers in every website that call home and tell google what you’re up to. Most android apps also have Google libraries in them that track you. Chrome monitors your off Google activity. Gmail extracts purchase receipts from online shopping and monitors your spending to serve ads. Meanwhile, Apple forced app developers to ask for permission to track users and pissed off the entire tech industry. The two are not the same from a user privacy perspective.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do most Americans use an iPhone?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re not even making an argument, just an assertion. Are you by chance a software engineer? If you really understand what Google is doing on a technical level, there is no comparison. No they are not the same. No Apple is not just as bad. Just think about it, Google makes their money selling businesses ads. Apple makes their money selling you a phone. The incentives are very different.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do most Americans use an iPhone?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I personally do not trust Google at all. Their entire business model is ads and tracking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do most Americans use an iPhone?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just use nextdns for ad blocking. You can install your own profile that is basically a pihole at the os level for cell and WiFi traffic. It blocks web ads, but also any trackers embedded in third party apps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are there so many graybeards in FOSS?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Idk. As an engineer that already works 60 hours a week, the last thing I want to do with my remaining free time is spend more time in front of my computer on another project working for free. Not to mention, most engineers sign a lot of bullshit legal paperwork stipulating that their employer owns all the code they write, even in their free time, which makes it hard to get involved.

  Yeah, I’ve been intrigued by Kagi, but would never use a search engine logged in.
