Turns out it costs more to make things in Europe.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the answer to the question that's posted all the time on gaming forums of: "Phones are so powerful these days, especially compared to the Switch, why can't we have real games on phones without microtransactions?"

Great, now take the same freedom fighter bots and tell them to argue IP policy on social media online. We can hear all about the right minded ways to think about intellectual property and how all the comments around here are misinformation.

It's like people lose their minds when you throw an enemy into the sentence. I don't think these people crafting propaganda bots are heroes, even if they are on "my" team. Go down this road, and you can throw away forums like Lemmy, it'll just be bots arguing with bots.

What poor quality journalism writing.

How can you have a headline like that without addressing what makes the contents of the program unusual and what makes the program controversial?

I hate the cynical nihilism around here so much. It plays into the Republican and big business hands so well it might as well be propaganda.

We had net neutrality before under the Democrats. The Republicans got rid of it when they took power.

Bothsidesism is juvenile bullshit.

How are they managing to do this? Surely it requires a permission in Android to access the list of installed apps, right?

I recall Dorsey publicly coming out in support of Elon's Twitter well after the sale. Maybe there was no ethical conflict for Dorsey and he likes what he sees.

Yeah, maybe all of this wouldn't have happened if the equity was split among the employees.

I mean, their message is a little weird, but so is the hysterical scaremongering that's been going on against them ever since they changed ownership.

There literally is no evidence they do anything unseemly with peoples' data, yet the scaremongering persists. What exactly are they supposed to say other than to emphasize this fact? Anyone who would distrust them based on this post was already definitely prone to distrust them.

It blows my mind that half a year after the public launch of ChatGPT that Google Assistant seems to be getting dumber instead of smarter and Bard is a completely different silo'd product still.

My Google Assistant a while ago picked up a problem. I use it to set timers all the time. Suddenly, one day it wouldn't understand "set a timer for 3:30" anymore and I'd have to say "3:30 pm". Then its dementia progressed and it was setting timers for the next day unless I specified "today at 3:30 pm". Then the day after that lucidity returned and it regained the ability to do the basic "set a timer for 3:30". It doesn't feel like it actually understands language at all. I appreciate that they're making updates, but I wish they were updates for the better.

The first company that will sell me a smart speaker that works like ChatGPT/Bing/Bard/etc. and I throw my Nest speakers in the garbage and switch brands.

So her biggest issue is that the tablet wasn’t on the dock when it needed to be used. Because she took it and wanted to use it for herself. Having a smart home hub means you can’t take it away and use it to surf the web.

Is this to downplay the pain points she encountered? Because reading it another way it seems like a total indictment of the concept behind merging a tablet with a smart hub.

KeePassXC

Why specifically KeePassXC instead of KeePass?

In a way, it looks even worse for a company that it was ahead in the fundamental research, and the corporate bureaucracy and management held it back so much that competitors took the difficult ideas invented there and turned them into products first. My intuition is that it's easier to fix being behind on a research and technology level than it is to fix having bad corporate culture and complacent management focused only on protecting existing cash cows.
