Based. We need all the union influence we can get in tech, particularly game dev. Make the MBAs in suits sweat a bit.

Google Messages definitely supports dual SIM, I have a physical SIM and an eSIM in my device and you can choose which one it sends from on a message by message basis

I don’t recall the previous commenter mentioning anything about Facebook. Making a comment that is anti something doesn’t automatically mean they’re pro something else.

Step 1: Feel like getting into a comment section argument

Step 2: Put words in the other guy’s mouth and argue against those

Step 3: Make yourself look like a bit of a tool

Is this the best use of your time?

Musk said. “If you get to the 100 million vehicle level, which I think we will … you’ve got a kilowatt of useable compute,” Musk said.

A whole kilowatt? “I think you could have on the order of 100 gigawatts of useful compute.” Ah.

“And unlike laptops and our cell phones, it is totally under Tesla’s control,” Musk added.

They clearly seem to think that they can do whatever they want with their customer’s property

don’t come with a requirement that drivers watch the road

Seems it’s like every other Mercedes then

Fuck Google too

If you wanted to do something like this you could put the charger on one of those electrical plugs with a timer, or a smart plug that’s switched on when the battery reaches a certain threshold

Millions of Facebook users outnumbering previous users 100 to 1 will kill it. Oh, there’ll be more activity than ever, but it will be a sanitised corporate safe space for advertisers, where millions of normies argue about politics, with misinformation and ads sprinkled throughout.

Mouth open, shadow on chin - they turned their logo into a soyjak

Seems fitting tbh

Everyone talking about hacking the firmware to extract the private key

Me just taking a photo of the deepfake

I’m running Ubuntu on my laptop and it has a dropdown list on the login screen to select DE

Sucks for them. This is what happens when you buy into the corporate, locked down, sanitised and monetised walled garden.

Privacy first and FLOSS software have been out there the whole time for people willing to invest the time (and money, but often it’s cheaper than the commercial option) to learn them and gain those benefits for themselves.

But if people want a device so they pick up the one with the shiniest marketing and then wonder why it’s shoving ads down their throat, well, that’s what they get for not researching the options. There are alternatives, they’ve been posted many times over in this thread and similar ones.

If it really starts supporting ActivityPub, you could start seeing Threads posts in a fediverse feed that also includes posts from Mastodon, Reddit alternative Lemmy, and any other platform that runs on the protocol.

Please no. The last thing Lemmy needs is a tsunami of Facebook normies. Instant Eternal September.

What does make sense is using Edge to download Firefox ;)

So can anyone with a copy of mspaint. Sick of these attempts to sterilise and censor

If (the royal) you can’t figure out Plex et al, then you pay the normie tax and deal with the corporations dictating your media consumption, and pay them out the ass for the privilege.

No such thing as having your cake and eating it too, but if you learn how to bake then you can eat all the cake you want.

I’ve seen the Tom Hanks dental plan and it involved an ice skate

The drug and cigarette analogy is dramatic, but the real heat is going to come from the claim that they only care about the supply side of the equation, not demand. In other words, their audience is locked in and has no power, and the ad suppliers (Google themselves) set the market conditions.

That is dangerously close to monopoly talk.
