You're out of your mind if you think the regular guy off the street should:

  1. Know the difference between IMAP and POP3

  2. Know the inner workings of iMessage

If Apple requires proof of understanding to sell their tech, they should submit users to a test. Otherwise, their tech should work how the users expect it to. And deleting messages when I press the damn "delete" button is how any sane person expects things to work. Now, if Apple wants to make a copy and store it in their asshole, and I have to penetrate them anally to delete it as well? That's fucking debatable in court if it's a reasonable expectation for a user to have.

It could be, if she wants it to be.

It could also be the type of case where her lawyers stop openAI from ever using her voice again, if she wants that to be the case.

Being rich opens up options. If openAI would be using my voice instead, they'd have a wildly less popular product but nobody to sue them for it, cause I'd be using my money to still dream about home ownership at some point before I die, not to hire lawyers or fight windmills.

The movie will only be played on Nokia phones and any attempt to look at the movie on another type of device will be swiftly prosecuted.

Sony has been moving exclusives to PC to essentially hook people on franchises to encourage them to buy PlayStation shit

There are ~120 million active Playstation gamers globally. Source: https://www.statista.com/statistics/272639/number-of-registered-accounts-of-playstation-network/

"Of that amount, ¥479.3 billion ($3.2 billion) came from game and content sales. Revenue from console sales totaled ¥287.5 billion ($1.9 billion), and revenue from game services was ¥133.9 billion ($887 million)."

Source: https://hc.games/sony-gaming-division-revenue-6-billion-consoles-sold/

So - Sony makes most money selling games, not consoles. They made 2 billion from selling consoles, and 4 billion selling games. All this for 120 million players worldwide.

There are about 1.8 billion pc gamers worldwide. Literally 15 times as many as Playstation gamers. Sony is selling games on the PC to reach this market and hopefully turn that 4 billion from game sales to 40 billion from game sales. Hooking people on franchises might be an added bonus, but that's not why they're doing it. They're doing it because if they manage to sell a 5 dollar game to every single pc gamer, that's more than their entire business is worth today, consoles and franchises and everything.

millions of years of evolution wiring our brains to make sex feel good so we don't accidentally kill off the human race by forgetting to do it

They're talking about a chicken. Source: they wrote the word "chicken".

They're not trolls, just Unix-pilled dumbasses who can't accept their 4% club isn't the literal holy grail they want it to be.

Linux is great, yeah. You know what else is great? Playing games. Not debugging drivers. Stable configurations. Not sucking Torvalds' dick. Coming home after my job and just doing whatever the fuck I want on my PC, instead of putting on my "Linux user" overalls and going back to what is basically another job, trying and failing to get the fucking OS to do one teensy little thing that there are 50 half-documented solutions for, 49 of which don't work.

Yes. As it should be. I'll buy the car that chooses to mow down a sidewalk full of pregnant babies instead of mildly inconveniencing myself or my passengers. Why the hell would you even consider any other alternative?

[–] Skates@feddit.nl 3 points 7 months ago

That probably would be the opposite extreme, and I have a feeling entirely different situations will rise out of that.

Tbh idk what I'd do. It's good I'm not in a position to decide. I just think the federal government offering people incentives to bypass privacy is dangerous and wrong.

[–] Skates@feddit.nl 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

Hey man, you're kinda narrowing down the entire problem of the right to privacy being consistently shat upon by your government into "well I knew one person where it was justified so this means those who argue against it fuck kids"

I understand what you mean and if you want to carve an exception into the law for CP I'd be all for it - maybe everyone is a mandated reporter of child porn, and all suspicions MUST be reported to the FBI and the evidence handed over. But I don't wanna get swatted just because my wife and I are into BDSM and we photographed a particularly rough session. Or because I took some pics of some clear plastic bags filled with flour that I put in my trunk to prank a friend. Or a million other things a geek squad guy might misinterpret and call the police for.
