I've generally found gnome users just use it

lol

The first public demo of Siri back when the iPhone 4S launched is more impressive than most AI commercials.

AI is getting billions in investment. Every single company out there is pushing employees to use it. Most brands have OKRs of shoving AI into their services.

And yet a chat box, removing objects in pictures or generating mediocre images is all they ever achieve.

Nobody goes beyond that. It's always the same as ChatGPT but with a modified system prompt. It's always image generation. Oh look we spent half of the quarter's budget but now our website displays an AI generated summary on top of the already easy to read information!

Which to me is irrefutable proof that AI is a useless money sink. Every company out there battling to grab your attention with AI, billions of dollars, market pressure and it's still useless?

People love complaining about some random obscure feature only they and 4 others use being """hidden""" in Dolphin which usually just means it's not a default button taking up half the UI, but can be added in ten seconds by using the toolbar customization features.

Okular is the best PDF software for Windows, beating Adobe's own solution.

I'm not. It's cute you believe you understand the legal context better than I do though. But that's still not an answer, I don't give a shit if you believe that's how it works or not.

Sure... and you're telling me that because?

Wouldn't really matter in a federated network like this. Mods banned you from a community? Make a new one. Account banned? Move to another instance.

There's zero reason to feel attached to online accounts like these, which is the only thing you can lose on Lemmy.

Don't let Nestlé know you have water

Don't worry, I wrote a program that can find the answer for you. It's been running for a while though...

Maybe somebody could come up with a program to determine if my program will halt or continue forever?

I use a dedicated MP3 player and a large FLAC library.

I use MusicBee, running on Wine, to listen and synchronize automatically.

I don't believe in subscriptions, and therefore won't pay for one: no music streaming, no Netflix, no Game Pass, no Adobe.

You could do something with the device, now you can't.

That's illegal here.

We have more genders so its easier to overrun the government

And non-US leftists should really reconsider using US technology that logs their data.

Today: I can sideload a non verified apk.

After the update: I grab the same apk and I can't sideload it.

Just DuckDuckGo it dude

Just Bing it dude

Just SearxNG it dude

Just Blorg it dude

Just BazoongaDoonga it dude

Buy more so that their economics and capabilities can be improved so they can sell better for cheaper.

So you do that and I buy when the price makes sense, thanks. Sorry, not paying a 60% premium for three year old hardware so "in the future it can become cheaper for others"

Reddit, and by extension Lemmy, have this infatuated vision of how private companies are actually great for customers because whenever somebody asks about Steam the explanation given is that if this were a publicly traded company it would be horrendous but because it's private everything is perfect and there are rainbows inside their offices.

The truth is EA will be just as aggressively profit driven as it already is, the new owners will try to reduce costs just like always, and IPs that sell more will continue to be prioritized just like before.

My biggest issue with the alternative phones is I'm not paying a massively inflated price for bad hardware just because it's using free software, sorry. Same goes for Framework laptops. I will tolerate paying a premium, but everything about the device must match the price tag.

but the developer will need to verify their identity with google.

If I purchase a device today, it's got the ability to install apps that are not verified. This is a feature. If now it's restricted, it violates our code.
