IIRC Amazon emails specifically don't mention products that you've ordered in their emails to avoid Google being able to scrape product and order info from them for their own purposes via Gmail.

Bored script kiddies?

essteeyou ,

Magneto!

essteeyou ,

When a company of his does bad it's his fault, when one does good it's other people's fault?

The guy's a fucking prick, don't get me wrong.

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...

essteeyou ,

If the results are negative you just pay them and don't release the results.

essteeyou ,

It's not going to be long before this seriously injures or kills someone.

essteeyou ,

Once again, we're probably relying on the EU to do something.

I really want to use my PinePhone Pro, but it's been in a box since the week I bought it.

I thought I was going to start hacking around, but then I didn't have the time. It has everything I want from a phone, except for software.

essteeyou ,

Bluetooth also introduces significant latency (noticeable for gaming) and lower audio quality. What a bad deal.

essteeyou ,

It can solve existing problems in new ways, which might be handy.

essteeyou ,

That's how it currently is, but I'd be astounded if it didn't progress quickly from now.

essteeyou ,

A printing press is not a technology with intelligence. It's like saying we still have to manually operate knives... of course we do.

essteeyou ,

5 years ago I don't think most people thought ChatGPT was possible, or StableDiffusion/MidJourney/etc.

We're in an era of insane technological advancement, and I don't think it'll slow down.

essteeyou ,

There are other people in the world. Some of them are inventing completely new ways of doing things, and one of those ways could lead to a major breakthrough. I'm not saying a GPT LLM is going to solve the problem, I'm saying AI will.

essteeyou ,

I was in a self-driving taxi yesterday. It didn't need to bump into things to figure out where it was.

essteeyou ,

Proof?

essteeyou ,

Saying something like that doesn't make it true. That's not proof.

Are you claiming that absolutely nobody is working on AGI because LLMs exist and are hot right now?

essteeyou ,

Who was making this "real progress on AI" that you mention? Why did they stop that when an LLM became popular?

essteeyou ,

So they don't go out of business.

essteeyou ,

If the port isn't named Linamp then I'll be mildly irritated.

essteeyou ,

This sure felt a lot like I/O 2023 Part 2.

essteeyou ,

You must have really ruffled some feathers!

Self-hosted website for posting web novel/fiction

Hey hello, self-hosting noob here. I just want to know if anyone would know a good way to host my writing. Something akin to those webcomic sites, except for writing. Multiple stories with their own "sections" (?) and a chapter selection for each. Maybe a home page or profile page to just briefly detail myself or whatever, I...

essteeyou ,

This Grav?

essteeyou ,

Thanks, that was unreadable!

essteeyou ,

There are millions of things that are relationship dealbreakers for people. I can't see myself loving another man, that doesn't make me homophobic, it just makes me straight.

essteeyou , (edited )

You previously said it's transphobic "If you're attracted to someone and then pretend you aren't simply based on the fact that they're trans" and I don't quite agree.

Say, for example, that I, a straight man, am attracted to a woman. After a while I discover that she's gay. I'm attracted to her, but I may pretend not to be given the situation. That doesn't make me homophobic, I'm just making a decision based on information.

Edit: just to be clear, I'm happy to have a discussion, but if what I'm saying is causing offense or upsetting you, I'll stop. I just want it to be clear that I have no intention of "winning" the conversation. :-)

essteeyou ,

Thanks for taking the time to make your point so clearly. I agree with everything you said there.

Perhaps I had the point wrong when I joined the discussion. :-)

essteeyou ,

Hey, I'd like to license your comment, how much?

essteeyou ,

What electric car was better than a Model X in 2015?

essteeyou ,

The irony is that you said "mouth" and the comic says "moth"

essteeyou ,

I don't see "dipstick" in the wild very often, but I always appreciate it. Are you English by any chance?

essteeyou ,

Google users didn't originally have gmail, so if Google paywalls it nobody is losing anything?

essteeyou ,

I think they did pretty well considering the couple of months the teams had to work on this.

The rules might need to be updated a bit though. Safety cars don't make as much sense to me when there are no people involved.

The "don't pass under yellow" rule kind of screws things up when you've got a full course yellow for the half of the race that wasn't under the safety car.

essteeyou ,

What's the cost of not doing it in the long run?

essteeyou ,

I meant for my question to be rhetorical. It should be unthinkable not to do it in the long run. $20bn is a lot of money, unless you consider the cost of completely fucking up your planet or whatever.

essteeyou ,

So he's about to rehire all those people he laid off, right? Surely he's not just saying this, but still expecting everyone who's left to cover all the work he's surprised by. Surely he knew these details before he fucked over a bunch of workers, right?

essteeyou ,

Someone will wait for them to go bankrupt first. Poach any staff they need, and leave the rest to unemployment.

essteeyou ,

If you let them go bankrupt first then you can buy cheaper, and don't need to let go of a bunch of surplus employees. I think it'll be about the bottom line. I guess it all depends on the price and any likely competition for the purchase.

essteeyou ,

If they've gone bankrupt and sold their office space and laid off their staff then it's definitely not going to cost the same.

essteeyou ,

Calling it a recall or an update won't change that. Enshittification is happening everywhere all the time anyway.

essteeyou ,

And a mouth ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

essteeyou ,

Not aimed at the person I'm replying to specifically, but SUPPORT YOUR LEMMY INSTANCE. :-)

essteeyou ,

It only gets complicated when you have dependents? Like a massive percentage of all adults...

essteeyou ,

Oh yeah? Watch us.

essteeyou ,

That headline is brilliant!

essteeyou ,

Holy cow, I looked up Penny Arcade because of this and it's still going! I think the last time I read it was next to an xkcd comic in Google Reader.

essteeyou ,

... we wore an onion on our hips, as was the fashion at the time...
