You may be right. Disney sent a cease and desist to Google right before this “partnership” with OpenAI was announced. Seems like Disney wants to integrate and control AI using their IP on their own terms.

It’s dudes in the Philippines this time, actually.

Yep, Kushner was a part of that deal too. Here’s a good summary of the political behind-the-scenes. Tiktok, EA, now CNN all going into Trump/MAGA hands within the past year. Netflix actually wanted to buy Paramount before the Skydance merger with David Ellison (Oracle Larry Ellison’s hellspawn) as CEO, and now they’re seemingly being cucked again for going after WB.

Add another one: my brain completely deleted the “King” part and I thought he was talking about the Protestant reformist before reading the replies about OJ and Rodney King.

I should sleep.

Librewolf is my stopgap atm. We’ll see that the future holds.

I thought that they were joking, as stuff like this also happens in open software and can take ages to fix (if it’s even kept up to date for a lot of niche software), and most of us use SOME sort proprietary software even if there’s a bigger % of open source enthusiasts on Lemmy.

That’s why the Android/iOS comment was even more out of place.

But then again, this is Lemmy…it might have been literal…

Furthermore, what do two different mobile OS have to do with a desktop one?

Thank you! This was what I was hoping someone would suggest.

Bro…my weather app is selling my data? 😦

I just wanted up-to-date travel conditions in a convenient widget. My taxes already pay for the meteorology, why do they need to sell my data too??

I’m not calling anything fake or a conspiracy, I’ve just been seeing a lot of people discussing things as facts and when I ask for firsthand sources (ie. the text messages you describe) they say they have personally don’t have one, someone just told them about it.

The OP provided a link for me though, so I was able to go through them myself as well. Your comment was also illuminating, thanks!

Yeah, this is what I was looking for, not random comments that go through different filters. Google was giving me speculation garbage. Thank you!

Every sentence revealing more about Larry Goone’s state of being made my eyebrows climb higher towards my hairline.

Truly you cannot make this shit up anymore, this would be a caricature of an adult in any other century.

Oh I see, thanks for the clarification. I thought perhaps someone went around and interviewed people who knew the shooter and that’s what the “allegedly” was for (2nd hand but somewhat verified), since there’s so much information about the family out there too. My bad for the misinterpretation.

Ok but where is a source reporting this? My googling is getting me Reddit or other right wing forum comments, or news articles repeating those comments as “sources”. Is it all just baseless speculation right now?

Source that he was queer?

PETE DAVIDSON?? The guy whose origin story is literally that his dad died during the 9/11 terror attacks orchestrated by the Saudis? THAT Pete Davidson??

As nice of a sentiment as this is, I’m already seeing colleagues that have dedicated their entire academic and public sector careers to Canadian institutions get passed over for promotions and jobs because there are other Canadians fleeing the states with prestigious names in their resume like Yale, Harvard etc. These people haven’t worked/experienced a day in Canada since they were 18 years old, but are now expected to be leaders in big Canadian institutions. Some are already floundering, tbh.

Not saying new blood isn’t good, but the Americanization of our institutions is already getting somewhat bad. You can see why many of my colleagues wouldn’t be happy about that.

Finally got 120Hz screens on base models

Wifi doesn’t work

Ok Apple…

I’m already in the EU, so under the UK branch of the subsidiary. Theoretically, I would be immune to the algorithm manipulation from the US. In practice, who knows. The UK hasn’t really been pushing back against US Tech interferences.
