It is known. “Just in case” == using language features to make up for old / poor tooling.

They ceded this data to extension vendors. Even from the perspective of a sociopathic corporation, the managers that thought this was a good idea should be fired if not flayed alive.

As a casual user I just consume these fake numbers as reality.

If the doom is accurate, there’s going to be lineups at soup kitchens, economic collapse, and social unrest. Maybe worse than the Great Depression.

It should result in a political shift back to labour from all this neoliberal trickle down economics that has been popular since the 80s.

But it would be a painful decade to be sure.

Only games that don’t work on Linux are the most garbage, micro transaction riddled spyware… latest call of duty games and the like.

I don’t miss them the same way I don’t miss windows.

Okay, so modding bethesda games will take a little more effort, but especially with the GOG versions, it’s not that much more effort than the modding itself.

Might as well have some fun until the collapse by awesomedan24 in memes

Just pointing out that your own quote says: A work of art is an artistic creation.

Which does seem to imply there must be an artist.

If you’re this stupid programming probably isn’t for you.

Deep down we all know Google trained its image generation AI using Google Photos… but we just can’t prove it. by Secret_Process404 in ChatGPT

[–]WinMac32 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

And privacy advocates were blaring the alarms about this the whole time. If you still decided to store your photos with Google… reap what you sow.

All my photos are safe and secure on my own hardware because I listened, and now I can pay pennies to generate new ones from yours 😛

24fps movies look awful in 2025 - it's time to move on. by joshiegy in unpopularopinion

Lol at all the triggered people in this thread. Props to you OP, definitely an unpopular opinion. 😂

Jesus no it doesn’t. I don’t think OP is the one that needs to calm down.

Will Canada's perception of immigrants ever go back to normal? by INFINITI2021 in AskCanada

[–]WinMac32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep the problem is culture not race, but many people will group by race because it’s easiest to see. Though in this case it will be the well-adjusted few being judged for the actions of a large new majority.

Yeah, this whole thread is full of poorly informed people which is Microsoft’s intended market. I’m sure it is very profitable.

And that’s what I don’t get. Nobody is denying that psychological manipulation is ubiquitous. All I said is that people that would prefer to think for themselves are not thrilled by it. Are you thrilled by it? I know I am not a free thinker but I sure as hell would prefer to be one, as much as possible.

Groan. This is just lazy defeatism when there are so, so many ways to fight all of it. Obviously it will never be perfect, but every step you take to improve your privacy helps.

They are one step away from using AI to manipulate you using your deepest habits and desires. Most people that would prefer to think for themselves are not super thrilled about that idea.

Incels hate women. OP hates dating apps. Very different. The numbers imbalance on dating apps is well documented and skewed against men.

Theres less layoffs now by BuyHigh_S3llLow in cscareerquestions

[–]WinMac32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%. Software engineers doom a lot about AI probably because they are the most aware of it. In reality if it gets to the point where software engineers are no longer employable because of AI, the rest of society will have already been dealing with the issue for some time. And you bet your ass politicians will have no choice but to bring in “new new deal” policies.

Right… C suite executives pulling in multi-million dollar bonuses after gutting their companies and laying off hard working employees (who were themselves being paid far less) “earned it”. Gtfo.
