It’s less stupud to listen to Taylor Swift than it is to Ben Shapiro.
Choose who you listen to wisely. And no, her being a singer has little influence on that decision.

I’d argue anything over 30°C is hot, but yes.
No.
As the AI said, the l in “LLM” (Large Language Model) stands for lntelligence. (Notice the “l” is a lowercase l).
So, AI is very lntelligent. Gotta give it props for that.
Therefore, AI is very dumb
The only unfair thing about the upcoming election is that this guy is running. And also not in prison, but that’s not directly related to the election anyway.
Doesn’t Windows give a popup saying “Do you want to extract the folder before running the executable” anymore?
Edit: typo (funning to running)
Dionysius is the smurf in the picture
Meta … can’t guarantee “what a third-party provider does with sent or received messages.”

Both are, or at least should be, ridiculous.
Yes, an app costs money. Yes, servers do cost money. But do they need to use servers? No. For example, self-hosting. Or just connecting the car to the cellular network (which they already do, mind you) and just let the phone talk to it directly, no manufacturer server required. Just pay an ISP for cell service and you’re set. Are there problems with such a solution security-wise? Yes. And while I’m not an expert in cybersecurity I think the risks are about the same for this and a server model.
Hell, they might not even use servers for anything other than checking if you’ve paid your subscription in order to lower costs already (as if a few thousand unlock requests a minute couldn’t be managed without a problem on a Raspberry Pi). They don’t need some huge, expensive and power-hungr supercomputer for that, so I don’t see a need for such a steep price.
Are the features useful? Absolutely. Would someone be willing to pay this price? Also absolutely. But the festures objectively don’t cost that much to maintain and competition should and could put an end to it.
It’s just corporate greed, and it feels to me as if we’re getting closer and closer to the fabled oxygen subscription, and we have to call manufacturers out on their bullshit while we still have air to breathe.
Just don’t buy their cars or at least their subscriptions. Get your car ‘jailbreaked’. What will they do, remote disable it? I think we’re still not that far down the dystopia plotline that a boycott couldn’t work.
Your oxygen subscription expires in 2 weeks. Please take note that absence of oxygen leads to hypoxia. Due to the detrimental effects of the war in Ukraine we have been forced to increase prices by 420%. Would you like to extend your subscription?
Yeah. ‘Decay’ has a natural whiff to it, while ‘enshittification’ reeks of it being actively made that way.
Thanks, never heard of it & will switch to it myself!
Just as short and not as inappropriate.
Honest question: What are the alternstives?
I agree that enshittification is a, well, shitty term, but I know obly it to describe the problem at hand.
Alternstives I think of are walled gardens, collapse of the internet as we know it, lockdown of social media sites, etc. - none of them all that simple and miss the point enshittification has.
OpenAI says it’s impossible to create useful AI models without copyrighted material
Good riddance, then just don’t.
Complaining in and of itself isn’t bad. Hell, a bug report is a complaint and it’s very much useful. As are feature requests. Whining definitely isn’t good, but complaints can and often are useful, warranted and lead to a positive outcome
I mean you’re not wrong, but it kind of skips a lot of in-between steps.
I mean if they want their safety they can feel free to keep it. No need to limit others to the App Store.
What I don’t understand is him getting sacked. While he did name a few people and cut ties, I don’t see the people named couldn’t stand up with him after being named. It seems as if they really support the war crimes in Gaza.
I’m very much drawn to the idea that users individually make the choice, but I don’t think openly embracing Threads is a good idea.
I’d much rather prefer a Fediverse without Threads than Threads without a Fediverse.
Depending on which country you live in and who (or better: what) you are - if you’re a McD McEmployee, you’ll might personally feel the McWrath for filing the complaint - not just having the weight of theorethical jobs lost on your soul.
