That’s Like saying I don’t pay rent to the landlord, the house has already been built.

If a society agrees on this being right, no more houses will be built. And no movies will be made.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk gives X employees one year to replace your bank - ‘You won’t need a bank account... it would blow my mind if we don’t have that rolled out by the end of next year.’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
At least he understands what’s going on. I think Elon doesn’t have that level of consciousness.

Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard

Zuck: Just ask.

Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS

[Redacted Friend’s Name]: What? How’d you manage that one?

Zuck: People just submitted it.

Zuck: I don’t know why.

Zuck: They “trust me”

Zuck: Dumb fucks.

Elon is so bad that we like Zuckerberg more than him

The thing about from financial transactions is:

a) governments will insist on regulation and influence

b) the recipient needs to use the same system.

If my landlord and my brokerage aren’t on TwitterFinance, there’s no way to use it to send them money

The thing is: in the not to distant future encyclopedias will be a thing of the past.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They use to tell us we couldnt trust Wikipedia. Now we know. Wikipedia is the only website you can trust.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Technically you could cite a version in the version history. But Wikipedia isn’t about being right. It’s about trying to get It better

catalog-like search what’s that?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Youtube's Anti-adblock is illegal in the EU⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Do you wish for more consent popups or do you hope that youtube is afraid of causing friction and will go back to how things were?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube intensifies fight against ad blockers showing pop-ups, and users are frustrated | Blocking ad-block users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Netflix is able to only serve paying customers.

Sure, granting view credits for ads is a little more complicated, but definitely within googles scope.

So they can block everyone, unless you either pay or watch ads. Unpopular, sure. But they have a huge library and a constant stream of new content, so enough people would put up with it. They can also start soflty, and only tighten the screws later. Lets start with one ad per day.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube intensifies fight against ad blockers showing pop-ups, and users are frustrated | Blocking ad-block users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
The reason while they have all the content, is precisely because they can generate revenue for channels. I much prefer payment through subcription and ad views to annoying in video sponsors and product placements
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube intensifies fight against ad blockers showing pop-ups, and users are frustrated | Blocking ad-block users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
For now. If YT really wants to end it, they can
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Europe gives Elon Musk 24 hours to respond about Israel-Hamas war misinformation and violence on X⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
The EU decided that it rather doesn’t have any platforms than some which allow hate/propaganda/childabuse. The intent is to fight the mentioned things and ideally remove them from society. By and large, this decision is a democratic one and fine.

Platforms may continue operation, if they promise to remove all stuff. Here there are two options, one stipulating that all content needs to be checked before its published. Thats the draconian approach. Currently its fine to only go after user reported stuff.

Now to your first question: They fon’t gaf about musk and don’t care if he removes the stuff. But if he choses not to, they will shutdown twitter for europeans. Thats why they adress him, because he as a major shareholder and CEO (is he?) calls the shots there.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
It’s my go-to player for various podcasts. I don’t end up watching, just listening. But it’s YouTube nonetheless.

While I don’t normally use it for music, the magic of it’s recommendation engine has led me into several amazing music niches, wich I wouldn’t have found otherwise.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Prime Video is able to remove a video from your library after purchase.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
At least in Germany there are Limits to t&c’s. To put it simply, there musn’t be any ugly surprises.

The merchant retroactively cancelling your purchases would be an ugly surprise of that nature.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Prime Video is able to remove a video from your library after purchase.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Ianal, but I assume they might get into trouble for the use of words like buy and own, if this is how they treat the purchases.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit abandons user privacy - Ars Technica⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
whats wrong with personalized ads? is it much different from booking different TV channels for different audiences?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BMW Is Giving Up on Heated Seat Subscriptions Because People Hated Them⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
That’s business. Bmw isn’t a cost effective brand in the first place, so anyone on a budget shouldn’t complain in the first place
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨More than $35 million has been stolen from over 150 victims since December — ‘nearly every victim’ was a LastPass user⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
People with less might just not complain loudly
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BMW Is Giving Up on Heated Seat Subscriptions Because People Hated Them⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
We need to view this seperate issues:

One is putting all options into a car and only making them available to customers who pay. This somewhat makes sense, and while it is annoying, it might benefit customers and automakers alike.

The other is making a hardware option a subscription. I personally hate that, but it just might make sense. People also rent houses and lease cars, why not add some customisation?

There might be a third question: Why do people even buy Beamers?

The only thing that matters is voting with your wallet
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Top physicist says chatbots are just ‘glorified tape recorders’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Just set your expectations right, and chat it’s are great. They aren’t intelligent. They’re pretty dumb. But they can say stuff about a huge variety of domains

What’s stopping some printer company from being nice and pleasant?

Is us, who buy the cheapest model in the store without considering maintenance cost?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Environmental protection is collectivist. It’s what is best for everyone. (Including future generations).

But abortion is a good exception.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I like your thinking.

I think unwanted children are the worst. lets put aside that the family won’t be happy. It’s these children that will cause trouble, populate prisons. They’ll be an absolute drag on society. It’s not even they’re fault. Growing up without love is tough
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I’m European. Do you think the American teens getting pregnant are actually surprised? That just seems inconceivable (pun not intended) to me.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Nah, it’s a fairly good way to differentiate between collectivist and individualistic ideas.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The state of Playstore⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Since mobile gaming has died for me anyway, i have no reason to browse the store. For what I use it for, it’s fine. It has the apps i need and updates them.
