Yeah, and due to the falling replacement rate the world population itself is starting to level off and may even start to decline. That's why conservative political parties are all doing everything they can to force people into having children, because large corporations can only exist with a large and ever growing customer base.

It's the eternal cycle:

• Small platform has quality experience because most users are genuine and engaged, and user base is too small to be "worth it" for corporations and trolls
• Platform grows slowly until it reaches tipping point of popularity and network effect
• The platform has explosive growth, drawing interest of corporations and trolls
• Corporations enshittify while trolls crank out misinformation and rage bait
• Users reach tipping point and leave large platform to smaller platforms that don't have corporate interests and trolls
• Repeat due to network effect

At it's core, Salesforce is basically a database. You can create custom objects (tables) and fields (columns) tailored to your business' needs to store anything and everything. But you can't just easily replace it with a database because they have tons of layers of automations and workflows built on top to make it insanely user friendly: Customer sends an email and it's automatically logged and tickets opened, sales person has a call and can create quotes and they are automatically sent to the correct people for approvals, managers can get access to accounts managed by their team but not the entire company, etc. It's the "works out of the box but still let's you customize them" business process automations and UI that make Salesforce what it is.

Encrypted data. Could be backups of important service details in case all their servers are seized, leaked or sensitive data they are holding as leverage, or a private porn collection. Nobody knows until they release a decryption key.

It's not a "community", it's one person making all the posts because I guess they wanted to make hating Linux their entire personality. 🤷

That team writes emulators that run directly on Nintendo consoles, so they would likely test it on development versions of those consoles the same way actual console games are developed and tested. Otherwise they would be testing a Switch version of an SNES emulator running inside a Switch emulator on a Windows PC that would introduce it's own errors.

I personally don't think it's so likely that Nintendo would write and maintain a Windows emulator just for their museum if an open-source project exists that they could legally use for free under that project's license terms. Only someone with insider knowledge would be able to say for sure though.

Emulator projects should all add a clause in their EULA that specifically forbids Nintendo from using their software, then they can sue Nintendo for breaching their license. Give them a taste of their own medicine.

Yeah, Tesla made this claim about the model X being full self driving in 5 years and being able to become an autonomous taxi while you weren't using it. Still waiting on that one...

When did people stop wanting to learn anything? Everything has to be dumbed down to the level of toddlers otherwise people can't be bothered.

To me the fediverse is great because you need higher than a room temperature IQ to use it so the posts are already far greater quality and the interactions are more meaningful than any other social network. Meta can keep all the screaming adult children in their platform.

They're too late, there's going to be way too much AI generated garbage in their data and so many social media platforms like Reddit and Twitter have already taken measures to curb scrapers.

My new rule of social media: Unless I know and trust the person or the organization making a post, I assume it's worthless unless I double check it against a person or organization I trust. Opinions are also included in this rule.
