Almost $700,000,000 in revenue if you multiply the price by the amount sold.

I used it, but then one year it was telling me I owed money. When I double checked on TurboTax, it was the opposite. I went with Turbo Tax. I’ve been wary of FreeTaxUSA since…

Ooooh no! We might, like, get to keep our jobs and homes.

Lucid is a Saudi-backed company. Buy an EV from Lucid and Prince Bonesaw gets a cut.

The tough thing is Mac laptops are the best. New ARM-based chips deliver an unexaggerated 15-20 hours of battery life. It is game changing to be able to use your laptop without being tethered to the wall all the time. It gives a low battery notification with 2 hours left. 2 hours was the full battery life of my last Intel-based laptop. You’re just not going to find that with any other laptop these days.

Windows is spyware. I use Mac, but if I didn’t I would go Linux. Wouldn’t touch Windows with a ten foot pole.

George Carlin Estate Files Lawsuit Against Group Behind AI-Generated Stand-Up Special: ‘A Casual Theft of a Great American Artist’s Work’ (variety.com)

George Carlin Estate Files Lawsuit Against Group Behind AI-Generated Stand-Up Special: ‘A Casual Theft of a Great American Artist’s Work’::George Carlin's estate has filed a lawsuit against the creators behind an AI-generated comedy special featuring a recreation of the comedian's voice.

I agree it’s fucked up, but damn if it isn’t well done and pretty spot on. It’s crazy to hear about recent events from the voice and perspective of George Carlin. The special had me ready to pick up my pitchfork.

I feel every other hardware manufacturer with a store that sells software for it should be held to the same rules then… Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo…

phoneymouse ,

Why does Apple need to bring this lawsuit? Why isn’t NSO being prosecuted by the justice department for violating the computer fraud and abuse laws, just as an individual would be if they did the same thing NSO did?

phoneymouse ,

This is the real answer

Clickbait… the launch video definitely discusses the battery

phoneymouse ,

Right? The launch video shows the battery.

phoneymouse ,

Don’t buy it… go use your spyware infested Google or Microsoft devices instead.

phoneymouse ,

No it doesn’t, it’s $200 cheaper.

phoneymouse ,

Why wouldn’t he grab one of her legs?

phoneymouse ,

Seems like a clickbait title, based on other articles I’ve read.

Been using DDG as my default for about 4 years now. It’s actually just gotten better as Google has gotten worse. I used to use the bangs a lot to check Google from DDG, but do that less and less.

Do you find the limited number of searches enough? I’d do it if it were unlimited for $5, but not going to pay $10 for a search engine.

phoneymouse ,

That was the moment I deleted Facebook from my phone. Deleted my account a short while later.

phoneymouse ,

Pretty much every other platform charges 30% too. Steam? 30% Xbox? 30% PlayStation? 30% Google Play? 30% Samsung Galaxy Store? 30% YouTube Ad Revenue? 45%!

The only one that doesn’t is Epic, which charges 12% and recently it came out that they were struggling to make the store profitable.

So, not sure why Apple gets singled out here.

phoneymouse ,

Seems like the customer would be violating the TnC, not the repo owner

phoneymouse ,

Right… a violation of our TnC… doesn’t matter. Maybe for the customer, not the repo owner.

phoneymouse ,

Startpage is owned by an ad company. Always been a bit sketched out by that.

It’s going to take years, but Lemmy will kill Reddit. People like authenticity. Reddit will lose authenticity as it antagonizes its user base through its monetization efforts.

A core group of people who value that authenticity above all else migrated after Reddit betrayed its values this past summer. They will be the early adopters of this brand new community. It’s happened before on the internet. People hate bullshit. They want to connect with real people that have good intentions and are good faith contributors, free of the influence of investors trying to monetize those relationships.

Reddit is bringing back r/Place at perhaps the worst possible time (www.theverge.com)

Reddit is bringing back r/Place at perhaps the worst possible time::Reddit is bringing back r/Place — a collaborative project where individual users can edit pixels on a giant canvas — at a time when user dissatisfaction with the platform is very high.

Let’s organize to post a message “Use Lemmy.world”

“Use Lemmy” works for me
