  • If your games are breaking on update, isn't that the game devs' faults?

  • artificially incompetent

    Borrowing that: AI = Artificial Incompetence

  • Man, Douglas Adams was a real one.

  • Once again, the community claws back features from the grip of capitalist enshittification.

    Hot take: don't buy Apple products, specifically because they gatekeep functionality for the crime of...checks notes...using your own hardware on platforms not made by Apple.

    Absolute kudos to the folks who figured out how to free their AirPods, but you shouldn't have to fully buy into Apple's ecosystem to get a full featureset, and they won't care to fix things unless and until their behavior affects their bottom line.

  • I vaguely remember it having a USB mode, but it's been a long time. Check the settings.

  • Also, chargebacks aren't zero-sum for the merchant. It costs them money on top of the cost of the sale, so enough people doing it would likely lead to legal action against the AI companies that negatively affect merchants' bottom line.

  • The original Steam Controller case has a compartment for a set of spares. It's not really a big deal having to carry and swap batteries, though not knowing what the charge level is can put you in a bind when your controller goes out at an inopportune moment!

  • That's honestly probably a good sign. It means we've now come to a point in scientific achievement where that is a genuine possibility that we consider.

  • Right? How about neither option? How about Authoritarianism is bad, regardless of who's doing it?

  • Precisely. Just ask Naomi Wu (SexyCyborg) how much she enjoys the surveillance state, how much she enjoyed being disappeared for a few months, how much she enjoys being told not to do any more techno State Resistance content, and how much she enjoys being able to leave but can't, because her partner is queer.

    Really, its a bunch of people who either like being in an in-group and/or they like feeling superior/powerful by promoting authoritarian communism.

  • Saving for months ≠ using money earmarked for necessary expenses. I saved for months to buy the parts for my PC, and all of it was discretionary income.

    But I otherwise agree that you should not spend your necessary funds on unnecessary expenses.

  • Fair enough. I'm just hopeful I've given them a little spark of doubt and a reminder that multibillion dollar companies aren't in the business of telling the objective truth.

  • This is not a good source. This is effectively, "We've investigated ourselves and found [that AI is a miraculous wonder]." Anthropic has a gigantic profit incentive to shill AI, and you should demand impartiality and better data than this.

  • Cool, know what job could easily be wiped out? Management. Sam Altman is a manager.

    Therefore, Sam Altman doesn't do real work. Fuck you, asshole.

  • It's resistant, though, specifically because you can fork it. Don't like where things are going? Like the features of a previous version? Fork that version and run with it.

    It does mean extra work for somebody to maintain that forked version, but the option is nonetheless there.

  • Cool, and I bet it will be just as trustworthy as WhatsApp (i.e. not at all).

  • I love that this exists

  • You can't update your system files with flatpak.
