The most surprising part of this is they contacted the police department who obtained a warrant and actually helped them!!!

Empricorn ,

Heh. "Pootin"...

Empricorn ,

Eat shit, lobbying to make simple tax returns something you have to pay Turbo Tax, H&R Block, etc for.

Empricorn ,

But blood makes a terrible mortar!

Empricorn ,

I've heard it's because creating/reforming things rather than maintaining them is more valued at Google with their current company culture.

Empricorn ,

That would make sense why there's more features than there used to be, but it's just worse in every way. Same as Google, Reddit, Microsoft, etc...

CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information (futurism.com)

You know how Google's new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won't slide off (pssst...please don't do this.)...

Empricorn ,

Use DuckDuckGo. Like most giant corporations, the only thing they'll respond to is less users/money.

Empricorn ,

Well, they've got the people for it! It's not like they recently downsized to provide their rich executives with more money or anything...

Linus Tech Tips (LTT) release investigation results on former accusations (x.com)

There were a series of accusations about our company last August from a former employee. Immediately following these accusations, LMG hired Roper Greyell - a large Vancouver-based law firm specializing in labor and employment law, to conduct a third-party investigation. Their website describes them as “one of the largest...

I get it's fun to dunk on them with a meme comment, but that's literally the exact opposite of what they did.

Empricorn ,

Uh... Do you work for free? I sure don't. If courts assigned an impartial investigator, I certainly didn't hear about it.

Empricorn ,

But then they might come back?

Empricorn ,

Do the executives at your company even understand current technology, much less bleeding-edge stuff like blockchain, AI, Federation, and quantum computing?? Ours sure don't. Same with our politicians. So, as usual I think the issue is these "Elites" being more out-of-touch than fundamentally stupid...

Empricorn ,

Don't be nice when it comes to the Rules of the Road, be rational.

Empricorn ,

Well excuuuse me, Emeril!

Empricorn ,

If crypto had pivoted to freedom and prioritized mass-adoption, it would have been great. Instead, almost everyone who invested got more people to buy in, dumped it, and got their payday. So yes, very much like capitalism.

Empricorn ,

I have a long day of paying rent, then buying groceries, coffee, and fast food tomorrow. If you can detail how I will accomplish that with Monero, I am on your side. And keep in mind, "expensive, inconvenient currency-switching" may work for me, but it won't work for most people. Be realistic.

Empricorn ,

Even ignoring all his crazy stances, he's the CEO of an American EV company! What the fuck what would you expect him to say!?

Empricorn ,

Normalize carrying a deadly weapon that can near-instantly kill several people at once everywhere you go... You realize how insane that sounds, right!? Other countries are laughing at us!

Empricorn , (edited )

And now they're 5 minutes behind-schedule for staring at ghosts, dammit!

Empricorn ,

I'm calling the authorities. All of them.

Empricorn ,

*File System Table-stab

Empricorn ,

But it sure is memorable!

Empricorn ,

It's not easy. You have to be completely dead inside and ready to fire all your coworkers at a moment's notice!

Empricorn ,

What's your safe word?

Empricorn ,

I got like halfway through that word and now I'm being strangled with a gigantic dildo...

Empricorn ,

Have you tried Linux, communism, and being gay?

Empricorn , (edited )

Damn, speedrunning the Lemmy topics! I only do 2/3 of them, otherwise we'd probably already be married!

Empricorn ,

They should face The Hague for how bad Teams is. Currently I have the "option" to switch to "Classic Teams" (which needed to be a separate application because fuck-knows-why) via a toggle. When I do, it launches Classic Teams and freezes, requires another 2FA approval, or both. Then, it later closes and auto-updates to "New" Teams and I get to do the whole process again. And New 3DS Plus Teams 2024 ME+ Pro U has stupid floaty notifications that take up too much space and annoy me.

Thank you for listening...

Empricorn ,

Yeah, I figured it was EOL. But look for the option at the top and the toggle is there, in the current version!

Empricorn ,

Sorry, no. I was being facetious.

Empricorn ,

Some "AI" LLMs resort to light hallucinations. And then ones like this straight-up gaslight you!

Empricorn ,

You shouldn't eat micro SD cards, no matter how much it turns you on.

Empricorn ,

Anyone got a summary or a quick link? I'm OOTL...

Empricorn ,

It zucks.

Empricorn ,

Are you listening, Valve!? Put that in Portal 3!

Just kidding, they don't know how to make trilogies...

Empricorn ,

Yeah, they're bullies. They want to beat/kill unarmed minorities and college students for "not respecting their authority" (exercising their constitutional rights), not actually uphold the law. Cowards...

Empricorn ,

And the Phils! Philip is my fiduciary.

Empricorn ,

But if listening to an entire album was necessary 100% of the time, artists wouldn't release singles.

Empricorn ,

That's what Sting said too.

Empricorn ,

What a dumb strawman, you're guessing just like everyone else! Absolutely no one's saying they manufacture bioweapons. But one of the biggest companies ever, with almost 80 billion in revenue each year definitely has access to shady methods, even if they wouldn't put it on itemized expenses reports.

1 whistleblower dying before they can testify is a huge coincidence, 2 is an extraordinary one.

Empricorn ,

But they should participate, so technically they should attend meetings.

Empricorn ,

...and we don't have deer/frog eyes. Wow, this conversation has gone off the rails.

Empricorn ,

Yeah, I'm sure almost any other name is less charged...

Empricorn ,

"propagandists"? "narrative"!?

Lol they answered your question with the very first sentence! The rest is just expanding on the point...

Empricorn ,

Yep. I have a PC that was given to me by a friend, we aren't all able to afford the most FOSS hardware and software...

Empricorn , (edited )

Not everyone has the luxury of owning their own home. My apartment neighbor has a doorbell camera pointed directly at my doorway that activates every time I open my door to go to work, get food delivered, etc. Huge privacy violation, but our doors face each other, so I guess that's legal...

Empricorn ,

"Their property (and what it records off their property) is more important than your privacy."

Empricorn ,

Well. Today I have a new Hero...
