  Consent required for free use

  I think that’s explicitly forbidden by the EU, and it’s a German domain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK’s Major Porn Providers Agree to Age Checks From Next Month; Aylo, Owner of Pornhub, YouPorn, and RedTube, Will Add Age Assurance Checks by July 25.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Children will only have access to the illegal porn sites that don’t “protect children”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder how many civilians Israel killed in the process. It’s probably a lot more than 0.

  There are like 60 highly-specific cat subreddits but only 2 general ones on Lemmy.

  I mean, SpaceX is a private company owned by Musk…

  I wonder if hydrogen fuels poses any unique risks as compared to petrol.

  It’s highly explosive.

  Probably not if you factor in the inefficiency of human digestion and wages.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half of companies planning to replace customer service with AI are reversing course⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  all these tickets I’ve been writing have been going into a paper shredder

  Try submitting tickets online. Physical mail is slower and more expensive.

  It’s a solvable problem with larger context buffers, but the resource requirements grow exponentially.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half of companies planning to replace customer service with AI are reversing course⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  AI-based romantic companions, sexting, and phone-sex are going to be huge if they aren’t already. It’s going to be like “Her”, because we live in a Black Mirror episode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half of companies planning to replace customer service with AI are reversing course⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It has the same energy as upper management firing their IT staff because “our systems are running fine, why do we need to keep paying them?”

  They should have brought it home and killed it in private like a civilized person.

  I put what I’m looking for into DDG and then click the first result. 30% of the time it’s PH, and 30% of the time it’s Xvideos.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI company files for bankruptcy after being exposed as 700 Indian engineers - Dexerto⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The lying is unacceptable, but either they hire temporary workers to obsolete themselves, or they force tenured people to obsolete themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI company files for bankruptcy after being exposed as 700 Indian engineers - Dexerto⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What would have stopped them from just collecting the data in their own stores, and then developed the tech?

  I won’t pretend that Amazon avoided that due to ethical concerns, but doing that would have almost the exact same ethical concerns.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump says a 25% tariff "must be paid by Apple" on iPhones not made in the US, says he told Tim Cook long ago that iPhones sold in the US must be made in the US⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Congress has a lot of power to moderate the president, but the Republican majority has completely failed in that role.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump says a 25% tariff "must be paid by Apple" on iPhones not made in the US, says he told Tim Cook long ago that iPhones sold in the US must be made in the US⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone talks about it behind your back. Sorry.

  It’s basically “lose a huge amount of money or do me favours that cost you 1/100 as much”. Surprise, surprise, they do the favours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The real Pocket is the Google money they made along the way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d prefer a self-hosted option. They could even do it the KeePass way where it just saves to a file and you’re responsible for syncing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re going to do that regardless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stack overflow is almost dead⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s issues on both sides. A lot of people who ask questions are clearly just asking others to do their homework or otherwise haven’t made any effort, but there are also a lot of people who are unnecessarily hostile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stack overflow is almost dead⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Then the author marks the question as answered because doing Y solves their problem…

  Good for you, but I actually need to do X and Y wouldn’t work for me. At least change the title so it doesn’t come up as the top result in search engines.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stack overflow is almost dead⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Question closed as off-topic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Industrial Light & Magic's Chief Creative Promotes AI Slop During His TED Talk⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone can write anything on UrbanDictionary. How often do you actually see that term being used?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Industrial Light & Magic's Chief Creative Promotes AI Slop During His TED Talk⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You wouldn’t be calling it “slop” if you thought a human made it in photoshop, which means your judgement isn’t actually based on the quality of the image.

  What’s the point of calling it “slop”, then? What is “slop” even supposed to mean if it’s not describing quality?
