The bastard went ahead and did it anyway, even when told no.

Wiz ,

Tech-bro's finest minds.

Wiz ,

Yeah, it seems like Musk's innovation is calling it GIGAFACTORY!

Obligatory exclamation point.

Wiz ,

Out of curiosity, what did you buy?

Wiz ,

It helps if you start with a bunch of slavery money.

Wiz ,

My question is, does the neutral implant even run Doom?

Wiz ,

All twenty of us Esperanto speakers just entered the chat! 🤩

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year (www.billboard.com)

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

Wiz ,

It would be nice if we had a monetizable platform on the Fediverse for vocal artists and musicians.

Wiz ,

Boeing: "Two down, ten to go!"

Wiz ,

Those hitmen aren't cheap, either!

Wiz ,

Yes. How many times did she ask him to stop contacting her?

Yet he kept coming at her, all like, "Just debate me!"

No. Take a hint, dude!

Wiz ,

No, he started being an unhinged freak when it was a private email exchange.

Wiz ,

It wasn't slanderous. It was her opinion about a couple items. The bad part was him hounding her after she repeatedly said to leave her alone.

Wiz ,

Lemmy is a dirty, dirty app, but that's not why!

Wiz ,

That was my first thought.

Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time?

I'm sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I'm sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I'm sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it's been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one back?

Wiz ,

I'm sick and tired of wanting to type Mastodon and it keeps coming out as Masturbation! Thanks autocorrect!

Wiz ,

Support PeerTube. It's needing content, and it's a little janky, but it's federated.

Wiz ,

That's PeerTube.

Wiz ,

There are some reasonably priced and free PeerTube servers for hosting content.

Wiz ,

Does it federate with the Fediverse? That's the point I was trying to make with PeerTube.

Wiz ,

Yes! Please do!

Wiz ,

The benefit of PeerTube is that it federates, so content can be followed and broadcasted to the Fediverse.

Wiz ,

Check out PeerTube, which is on the Fediverse. Content can be followed and broadcast to Mastodon and others.

Wiz ,

Maybe web rings of the 90s were not such a bad idea! Let's bring 'em back!

Wiz ,

Never. Trust. Google.

Wiz ,

They've updated that box in about 2010 to remove that phrase.

Wiz ,

And as it turns out, Google is pretty evil.

Wiz ,

Maybe you could try not following him if you don't like it. 🤔

Wiz ,

Are you on that particular French server? It is this a hypothetical problem?

Wiz ,

The best approach to "free" things is to understand that it's never sustainable. Eventually it will have to become a paid subscription or ad supported or both.

It will become enshittified unless that new service is open source and "free as in beer". With no profit motive, it can grow gradually and be supported by it's users. Like Lemmy/ kbin / Mastodon.

Wiz ,

With an asterisk.

Free* is never Free

Wiz ,

That's fine. Probably not venture capitalists that need paid back.

Wiz ,

Nebula is good. Maybe different models besides YouTube are in order.

Some seem to do OK with:

Peertube + LiberaPay

Wiz ,

I'll hang into my cash and hope for a fork by some non-tankie devs.

Wiz ,

What are you referring to "looking like Reddit"? And why would you want their API lock-in, paid ads disguised as content, and obvious AI bot posts?

Microsoft is once again injecting pop-up ads into Google Chrome on Windows in a bid to get people to switch to Bing (www.theverge.com)

The software giant first introduced malware-like pop-up ads last year with a prompt that appeared over the top of other apps and windows. After pausing that notification to address “unintended behavior,” the pop-ups have returned again on Windows 10 and 11....

Wiz ,

Strangely, I have not seen this on Firefox with Unlock Origin.

Wiz ,

That's the point, my friend!

Wiz ,

Do you know what's also getting more clicks than last year at this time and the year before? Lemmy!

Wiz ,

I'm not the OP, but I would love to know!

Wiz ,

Ublok Origin on Firefox works great, and is free.

Discount code available for half the price of free!

Wiz ,

"As an AI language model..."

Wiz ,

That makes total sense. Thanks!

Wiz ,

Mi ĵus volas diri ke via uzanto-nomo plaĉas al mi!

Wiz ,

A browser could be top dog if it was just less shitty than the others, like the Brother printers, that print without bloatware and mob tactics of HP.

We want a browser that just browses.

Wiz ,

"It looks like you are browsing porn. Can I help?"

Wiz ,

You may be in an abusive relationship with your browser. 💔

Wiz ,

How much does a banana cost? $25,000?

Wiz ,

It hasn't worked much outside of the laboratory, because they just released it from the laboratory. They've already proven it works in their paper with about 90% effectiveness.
