What’s the other reason why you listen to them?

I think the negativity is more about it being used for AI than to solve any important problems with the world.

After they decide to abandon their AI project can we use them for something meaningful?

Because politicians are loyal to mega corps.

I love hearing stuff like this. 51, 000 years old is already insane. 75,000 years old is 24,000 years older than that. I can’t even imagine 24,000 years older than today.

Why can’t we get movies about this shit instead of another Marvel sequel? I want some scientifically accurate adventure about life in 73,000 BC.

Banks don’t take this into consideration when assessing collateral?

Sure, I didn’t say they use the system browser - I said the opposite. I’m saying the OS should be able to block non-HTTPS connections. If you have control of the OS you can control what protocols are used by apps, unless I’m missing something.

What cases are there for non-HTTPS? I can’t think of any. It’s 2024. All communication should be encrypted.

We need a switch like Firefox has that disallows anything non-HTTPS, but from the phone level. Companies like Apple and Google could also eventually warn apps that they’re going to make it the default setting.

How is DPI a problem if it’s encrypted? That would only work if the attacker had installed their CA cert on your client machine, right?

Big creators make a ton of money from their videos. I’m fine with the Fediverse adding ads, or creators doing sponsorships. We need a separation of concerns. Fediverse is removing centralized corporate control.

We need a way to get good content creators money on the Fediverse.

IMO a very small amount of storage should be free but after that the user needs to pay. It’s the right thing to do for hosts and for the environment. If content creators need massive amounts of video then that will incentivize them to make money on it.

The only people left out are small, niche channels that have quality or important content but don’t make much money. Maybe they could be cut special deals by the hosts / donors.

Switch to Kagi

But then how do you make money with a browser if you aren’t getting Google money and don’t spy on users?

Interesting! Anything you’d recommend?

I agree. But also add in the movie industry that’s been complete trash for a while now. Not to mention books. I’m not sure if we’ll ever see another Harry Potter level book again, at least in our lifetimes.

My take is we’ve already left the golden ages of movies, music, and books and probably won’t get another for an extremely long time.

Video games are going through the same downfall which streaming services brought. Physical media left the movie scene as a standard while ago, but video games took longer. Now it’s going to be all streaming and subscriptions where you can never own anything.

Once that happens, enshittification will peak, companies won’t be incentivized to make the games good anymore, standards tank, and people will forget how good things once were.

Obama won before and he was part black. Why would that be a problem now?

I just want that popup tooltip thing to stop blocking the most important part of the UI when I delete a message in Proton Mail… That’s something obvious and should take 15 minutes to half an hour of a decent dev’s time.

I’m really appalled by how bad Proton’s project management is.

OH SHIT… which one was Brazinni again?

That being said, I can’t trust MKBHD is not hallucinating either.

Doesn’t Fediverse mean “these applications can federate with each other”? How would you federate with Lemmy without ActivityPub?
