Never even heard of this game

I’ve recently learned that debit cards now have benefits like chargebacks that credit cards were the sole keepers of for decades. Debit cards were losing too much ground to credit cards so they started doing the same things.

Are you sure you don’t have a dark mode extension on? It was black text for me

Calling nexus mods shady is hilarious.

When he got kicked out by the board I was quite happy, literally “omg they’re actually going to follow their principles” but then nope. Apparently nobody in the company could see it for what it was and people outside didn’t want their “chatbot to go away!”

Your data is worth about $5-$10 a month, at least for Facebook. A month.

Discord isn’t social media. What is with everyone just referring to every tech company product as “social media”!?

It’s not enshittification because it literally doesn’t follow the second part of your own definition. Needing to change your offerings because your internal prices increase is normal business. Enshittification literally is from companies offering stuff to entice users and then they realize they have nothing else to offer to businesses, so they remove features in order to sell them to businesses or to increase ads.

Yep and if OpenAI goes under the whole market will likely crash, people will dump their GPUs they’ve been using to create models and then boom, you’ve got a bunch of GPUs available.

How is no one pointing out that a mouse subscription would make it so that if you missed a payment then (the majority of) people literally wouldn’t be able to re subscribe since, you know, most people use a mouse to do things on the internet.

You might be too young. They’re referring to a service called StumbleUpon that did almost exactly what you posted here.

Everyone that doesn’t have access to those is using gpus though.

Just because someone claims something to sue a company does not mean it’s true. You gotta go through the whole court process and prove it.

It says Valve “forces” game publishers to sign up to so-called price parity obligations, preventing titles being sold at cheaper prices on rival platforms

I’ve never seen any publisher claim this, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true. But it sure doesn’t sound like that has anything to do with being a monopoly. Epic, GoG, Ubisoft, etc. could all do the exact same thing.

Anyway, thanks for the link. I was not the one to downvote you on your last comment. You did what I asked.

Ok but you made a claim that they were leveraging their market position to maintain a monopoly. So please describe how they are doing that in any way shape or form.

What are they doing to leverage their dominant position?

Really weird that the article doesn’t mention that the campus is 4 times the size of both apple and Microsoft’s campuses combined. It just mentioned it being larger. But 4 times is crazy.

What in the world are you talking about. Using contractors is not “paying people less than they’re worth”.

These companies still don’t understand why Nintendo has such a strangle on the handheld market. No one playing on handheld cares about performance benchmarks. They care if the game works and is fun. And they care about a good user experience.

Valve nailed it with proton, so that’s why Linux gaining is increasing so quickly. If you force Windows, it doesn’t matter if you get a hundred more frames a second. You’re gonna have a shitty user experience.

Also the difficulty is in the production line and custom swappable components, not the case design.

Just use kagi. Statistically better.

I informed my SecOps team and they reached out to Slack. Slack posted an update:

We’ve released the following response on X/Twitter/LinkedIn:

To clarify, Slack has platform-level machine-learning models for things like channel and emoji recommendations and search results. And yes, customers can exclude their data from helping train those (non-generative) ML models. Customer data belongs to the customer. We do not build or train these models in such a way that they could learn, memorize, or be able to reproduce some part of customer data. Our privacy principles applicable to search, learning, and AI are available here: https://slack.com/trust/data-management/privacy-principles

Slack AI – which is our generative AI experience natively built in Slack – is a separately purchased add-on that uses Large Language Models (LLMs) but does not train those LLMs on customer data. Because Slack AI hosts the models on its own infrastructure, your data remains in your control and exclusively for your organization’s use. It never leaves Slack’s trust boundary and no third parties, including the model vendor, will have access to it. You can read more about how we’ve built Slack AI to be secure and private here: https://slack.engineering/how-we-built-slack-ai-to-be-secure-and-private/

None of that applies if you’re a paying customer like me, and I see all the same bs. So no, it’s really just bad design, it’s not trying to do any of the stuff you mentioned.
