  I actually think things are much calmer here than the more mainstream communities like Facebook or Reddit.

  This shouldn’t be relevant but actually yea, ax has a good point. Plenty of people don’t really understand things that aren’t part of a big brand online.

  Paypal has a reputation for this kind of thing from before Trump 2.0 though. They’ve ben doing this since at least 2003.

  The end game doesn’t involve having customers at all. The rich think they just wont need an economy anymore once their slaves die off and automation and AI replace them all.

  They wont be able to help themselves though. They will get bored and start eating eachother.

  PayPal wouldn’t dare attack Steam for accepting external payment methods with rules they don’t agree with and can’t change because they don’t own those companies. In addition to opening them up to potential lawsuits, it could catastrophically backfire if Valve simply said “fine, we don’t accept PayPal anymore, but we do accept crypto now.”

  PayPal would die in a week. The investors would drag out a guillitine by the next earnings call.

  I’d imagine it’s sort of like reading porn rather than watching porn. Different people are activated by different things.

  My understanding of that was Facebook just gave up on human moderation and let an AI do whatever it wanted. Still unacceptable but totally foreseeable.

  Oh please understand I read your comment as intrigue and not hostility. I welcome the conversation, including any rebuttals that could prove me wrong.

  I like it here on Lemmy. People complain about the tankies but overall it’s actually been very tame and friendly compared to Reddit and conversations like this are just a joy for me.

  It solves a problem we don’t really have anymore.

  This is actually pretty interesting. Russians are typically more tech savvy than you would expect. A factory full of them and this still happened.

  The only flash drive I ever had fail me that wasn’t made by sandisk was a generic microcenter one, which was so cheap I couldn’t bring myself to care about it.

  Well it’s heavier and slower than native code and due in part to being an oracle technology people kind of avoid it anymore. It’s kind of a legacy language at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta to spend hundreds of billions to build AI data centres⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The planet is dying, we have pretty much given up on even pretending to do anything about it, and the rich are using the time we have left before mass die offs to get AI up and running early enough to perfect it.

  Just a thought that occurred to me today. In better times I would dismiss it as nothing more than an amusing conspiracy theory but lately…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Say Hello to the World's Largest Hard Drive, a Massive 36TB Seagate⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I can certainly understand holding grudges against corporations. I didn’t buy anything from Sony for a very long time after their fuckery George Hotz and Nintendo’s latest horseshit has me staying away from them, but that was a single firmware bug that locked down hard drives (note, the data was still intact) a very long time ago. Seagate even issued a firmware update to prevent the bug from biting users it hadn’t hit yet, but firmware updates at the time weren’t really something people thought to ever do, and operating systems did not check for them automatically back then like they do now.

  Seagate fucked up but they also did everything they could to make it right. That matters. Plus, look at their competition. WD famously lied about their red drives not being SMR when they actually were. And I’ve only ever had WD hard drives and sandisk flash drives die on me. And guess who owns sandisk? Western Digital!

  I guess if you must go with a another company, there’s the louder and more expensive Toshiba drives but I have never used those before so I know nothing about them aside from their reputation for being loud.

  I think they were trying to lean too hard into the warring gamers battling it out, and the black woman represented the original PSP while the white woman represented the new white PSP, player 2.

  But they put it on a fucking billboard where the only context we have to go by is beating the shit out of a black chick. What they fuck did they expect people to think?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vintage gaming advertising pictures: a gallery⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Like artistically I can see what they were aiming for with this but they not only failed to understand the medium and audience, but when the obvious interpretation came to their attention they did not fucking care.

  Just incredible.

  Nothing. But this does it all in bull instantly for free.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vintage gaming advertising pictures: a gallery⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m surprised you didn’t post that PSP ad with the white lady beating the shit out of the black lady…to promote the sale of a white PSP.

  This looks….abusable. I mean, the immich thing is nice but what’s stopping me from breaking into an iCloud account, dumping the photos into this and letting it tell me the best way to stalk someone?

  Also, Java in 2025 is an odd thing to see. What problem did using Java solve?

  Matter is fine too. It’s off the cloud. MQTT is great but generally not exposed directly to the consumer.

  You would think after ditching a bunch of rich fuckers on an island they wouldn’t get another chance to try that again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I like my home automation tech but it needs to serve a purpose. Just being connected to wifi is not a selling point for me. Lights that turn on in the morning when I need to wake up are great. A thermostat that can reduce energy usage when nobody is home is also great. But a grill….what the fuck does Internet access do to improve the grilling experience?

  And if it requires the cloud to work, I don’t consider it a functional product.
