I specifically do not include politics in my Lemmy experience. I get enough of it everywhere else, and there are plenty of places to hear unpopular opinions about politics. Honestly, I would unsubscribe if that went away.

As for mass downviting, I see the appeal of a rule. There are some new voting options coming in 1.0 though, I’d hold off until those come and then revisit it.

I particularly hate these trucks because they’re perfectly “I need a family vehicle but I’m too insecure to drive a van”.

They knew this ahead of time.

This was measured. Calculated. They had reports, meetings, they knew roughly how much outrage would be. This is all part of their plan.

The only thing that would change it is not buying PlayStation.

Which is of course the only thing gamers will not do. As soon as the next big title comes out (also in Sony’s plan), gamers will forget this and move on.

I bet they also calculated the “timed boycot” of PS+ into their plan. Can’t you just hear someone saying it. “We expect maximum of 7 days of light use due to a potential boycott, probably no more than 30% of our total base”

They’re never reversing course on it, as long as people keep buying.

Just like most AI, it makes the user lazier. And I’m someone who is forced to use AI for work and I can confirm.

Why would police actively try to solve a crime when they could lean on flock? Even if it gets it wrong they can say they tried and then move on.

Don’t kid yourselves, the majority of people will eat this shit up

Agreed. Disappointed with how many people just fell for it.

Shed paid to make this shit up folks. We’ll read it, which means she succeeded.

Absolute rage bait article. Guaranteed none of these stories of her happened, and this is just to lure readers. The more readers and ad revenue, the more options she gets.

Not solves. They have not used the term solved anywhere in there. They are ten possible answers they say.

Which means they have let AI run around and maybe come up with an answer, but they have no way of knowing if it’s true, or at least don’t want to say it is. Interesting.

The company is hemorrhaging money. This is marketing fluff to try and keep investors interested, and trying to buy some pr because they’re offering some free tokens.

On paper, logged-out users look like a bright spot after growing 27%. In reality, they’re much less valuable. Logged-in users create posts, comment, subscribe to communities, and develop habits that advertisers value. Logged-out visitors often arrive through search, consume a single page, and leave.

Yeah, what did we fucking say. I had some millions of karma on reddit. Then they shut down my app, and I up and left. A good chunk of other members of posters and commenters left as well. They shrugged us off. We’re only a few percent.

Except for the 90-9-1 rule. Of a user base on average 90% will lurk/vote only, 9% will comment, and 1% will post. So it doesn’t matter if it’s a small percentage of your total users, if it’s a good chunk of the people who post and comment you’re fucking yourself.

Just checked and I have crossed over 1000 posts here and have tens of thousands of comments. All unmonitized, all useless to reddit. Enjoy your AI comments, reddit.

Don’t worry bud, we’ll be here for you

Park, like not just braked but fully parking gear, so not at a red.

It is illegal to show anything like that while the car is in gear.

However, it’s completely fine as soon as you turn it on, or are sitting parked, or in aux mode.

I’m forced to use it at work and my token usage is monitored. Here was yesterday:

Build things thing, but remember: DO NOT DO THE THING.

Sure thing! I’ll build out and I will not do the thing

WTF YOU DID THE THING

You’re absolutely right, I did the thing even though you explicitly told me not to do the thing

I wonder if they will have metrics for how many times I’ve all caps sworn at it.

I’m a server asking with it.

I went from thousands of requests per minute down to 5. Five. Database was pegged constantly at 100% serving requests down to ~50% now. Huge difference.

Has it happened? I know they’re testing on the cascades but haven’t seen anything for a full start date

imagine hating a group of people for just being themselves, when it has absolutely no bearing on your life or how you live.

Yes but that doesn’t make the joke very funny. I also made this before that setting existed.

Tech companies “move fast and break things”. Their answers would be “What standards, we’re not in the movie industry, we’re a ‘tech’ company”

We’re what, 14 years past when they should have done that? Windows 8 introduced the new UI style, and then Windows 10 was their chance to cement it. You can’t even blame compatibility, Microsoft’s own controls were all behind the legacy UIs. You can tell they were pushed and rushed out the door when nothing was ready.

At this point their UI has been so hacked and slashed that the fact that it compiles is a shock to me.

Yeah they truly automated the best part of my role. Now it’s monitoring Claude sessions and more meetings.

I’m planning an exit, can’t be tomorrow or next year, but 5-10 years if this continues. I think they’re going to see an exodus of senior talent over the next decade.
