Cue the world’s smallest violin. Not sure how this is any consumer’s problem lol.
Maybe, just maybe, advertising needs to become more carefully selected and regulated rather than the clown fiesta it has been since the dawn of the internet where Google and friends want to ‘set and forget’ and milk money for eternity.
But you know the reaction won’t be sensible lol, instead we will get an AI arms race of AI adverts vs AI advert reviewers.
In the UK what we call a daddy longlegs has wings and flies (a crane fly I think). Obviously a very widely used name for things with a small body and a bunch of long legs haha
I think it will be a success for them tbh. D&D and Pathfinder are both just gaining such popularity lately that they will find enough market even if the hardcore players turn their back on it. If they can onboard casual players easily, they will be willing to pay for it.
In some ways maybe but the fact there is enough space for everyone and people don’t have to fight for it kinda defeats the most interesting aspects of Place if you ask me.
All the more reason to use a vpn even for casual browsing I guess. Never know when someone wants to overstep and turn the most trivial thing against you. Even if this is the case now that its been denied, what’s to stop this happening elsewhere or at another time? The fact it’s been tried once means it will be tried again. No thanks to that.
That’s actually such a smart move for Shopify to incentivise use of their platform over others.
So if we ignore that birds can’t fly infinitely high, and also that they don’t live in the air they live on a surface, in essentially a 2D area the same as humans, maybe this is interesting? But not really lol.
I would say they didn’t really lose 80%, because they barely had them to start with. If you click a link on Instagram and bam you’re now a Threads user all ‘signed up’ ready to go? I mean yeah the barrier couldn’t be lower there.
Retaining 20% of those users is in fact impressive. That’s many millions of people.
Rum and raisin.
My friends call me an old man for this, but what can ya do its fucking delicious.
It doesn’t track posts that I have read and that alone is enough to put me off. I figured it wasn’t a big deal but then I lose track of where I am when browsing.
Happy with Sync now though.
Microsoft isn’t giving up on assistants (as per the article), its just going down a different route, more AI focused. This is sensible because Cortana is a flop, nobody uses it, there is no need to leave it running.
I’m certain Apple has the same plans around AI, however people still use Siri all the time. It’s not a flop, so it may as well stay running as more and more AI works its way over to it or its replacement.
It’s really weird to me that anyone would want it shut down when it’s so easy to just not use it.
I like Vivaldi a lot. It’s kinda where Opera went after Opera went to shit lol.
It’s owned by Amazon and they just don’t give a shit about it anymore would be my guess. There is no way with all of their resources they should be having any issues with it.
Its ok we get Boost, soon hopefully
I like the content but I’m struggling to really dive in regularly without better app support. Hoping Boost for Lemmy gets released before long and that will give a more refined experience.
If he was destroying it for the good of humanity he would have to somehow destroy the concept of it rather than a single platform.
Probably best spending 40 billion on education in the harm social media can do lol.
I really do think he’s just delusional. I won’t call him an idiot because there is clearly intelligence and talent in his head, but he’s gone off the rails in some capacity whether it’s mental health issues or power crazed or who knows.
