Don't don't be evil

Google Pay is officially dead in the US. Just got the email.

We are writing to inform you about changes to your Google Pay experience. As we continue to provide safe and seamless payments to users around the world, we are also simplifying the app experience in the U.S. For years, Google Wallet has been the primary place to securely store payment cards used for tap and pay in stores,...

eee ,

I don't really remember what the names of Google apps are anymore. I just know there's an app I can use to tap to pay, and I have a custom icon for that app (since all of Googles app icons are so similar it's confusing).

Once they deprecate one app and move to the next, I'll just change the icon on that.

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.)...

"It's your responsibility to make sure our products aren't nonsense. All we want to do is to make money off you regardless."

This is a feature, not a bug. It's designed to wean you off using twitter.

Should companies work on improving access to services and making sure paying consumers get a better experience?

Nah, let's spend more money paying lawyers to go after a few people, that'll show em.

that's to stop people from spamming signatures with user+1@gmail, user+2@gmail, user+3@gmail, etc.

eee ,

Spamming user+1@gmail, user+2@gmail takes absolutely no technical knowledge whatsoever - anyone can do it with 1 gmail account.

Spamming user1@domain, user2@domain etc requires 1 of two things:

  1. you can sign up for multiple email accounts using a third party service. You're going to run into trouble with Gmail or other big providers if you start creating accounts en masse.

  2. you create your own email server. this requires someone with selfhosting knowledge and some basic coding (or rather server config) experience.

Apparently smaller tech firms are loving office mandates, because it allows them to hire talent that they normally would not have access to at their budget.

Beehaw has pretty good conversation. I enjoy my discussions on their communities. It also has an extremely low bar for defederation – it’s defederated with even lemmy.world. I don’t like that, would not use that as my home instance.

Haha that's an instance I haven't heard about in a while... I personally blocked it because I want to talk to everyone on lemmy, not just half the population when I have a conversation on lemmy I don't want to respond to a post that less than half the lemmy population can see, and they've defederated from the largest instances.

And i guess that's the good thing about the lemmyverse - you decide what level of control you want.

didn't phrase that well, what I meant was when I have a conversation on lemmy I don't want to respond to a beehaw post that less than half the lemmy population can see.

i mean, my phrasing sounded contradictory but the thought process is logical lol

bass-ackwards

is this how kids say ass-backwards now, or is this an attempt to avoid the (nonexistent) lemmy profanity filters lol

eee ,

really? I haven't used Bumble myself but I've heard stories of guys with inboxes full of women just saying "hi"

eee ,

they're all owned by match.com anyway.

U.S. customers can buy a yearly subscription of Drive Pilot in 2024 EQS sedans and S-Class car models for $2,500

yeah, fuck that.

This is the most privileged thing you could say.

"Hey, why isn't everyone eating sustainably sourced GMO-free, organic, locally-grown food all the time?"

Spoiler alert: it costs more
