Korkki, in Russia admits its homegrown consoles can't match the PS5 or Xbox Series

But then who on this planet was expecting that.

Flamekebab, in Samsung, Google take on Dolby Atmos with new 'Eclipsa Audio'
@Flamekebab@piefed.social avatar

Samsung and Google? Two companies well known for maintaining tech long term rather than getting bored within a few months.

HeroHelck,

Yeah I had a huge laugh, this is just gonna suck for the people who get suckered into it.

AFC1886VCC, in Meta Now Lets Users Say Gay and Trans People Have 'Mental Illness'

As far as internet content goes, hate is winning. All the major social media platforms have been overrun by sexist, racist, LGBTQphobic commentary. And these platforms will simply follow the money, pushing hate content via algorithms as good people leave the platforms.

hushable,

And these platforms will simply follow the money

This, remember that every single pride sponsorship and rainbow coloured logo was approved by a marketing department after extensive market research deeming it to be profitable

@BombOmOm@lemmy.world avatar

Glad to see more handhelds picking up Steam OS! So many portable competitors have been hampered by their OS sucking down limited resources while providing an inferior UI and UX.

Glares at Armor Crate

KinglyWeevil,

I have it for fan/led management on my pc and it has so much potential, but overall is just so bad and has so little support.

Mrkawfee, (edited ) in Meta's Nick Clegg to step down, will be replaced by well-connected Republican

What a weasel that guy turned out to be

Led his party (Liberal Democrats) to a stunning election result in 2010 and joined a coalition with the Tories. Proceeded to become their human shield, covering for their austerity and shredding of the welfare state. Then fucked off to Facebook when the electorate punished his party in 2015.

eran_morad,

Sounds like your standard issue politician.

Chozo, in Meta slammed for 'disturbing' AI profiles, including a fake Black queer mother

People are taking issue with the fact that the AI was black and queer, not that it wasn't a real person in the first place. Once again, the right is angry at something that literally does not exist in real life.

GrammarPolice,

No, people are taking issue with the fact that Meta is clearly trying to force a stereotype down our throats. At least i am.

The right probably IS pissed the AI was black and queer.

mypasswordis1234, in Californians Say X Blocked Them From Viewing Amber Alert About Missing 14-Year-Old
@mypasswordis1234@lemmy.world avatar

Using (only) corpomedia to announce information at government level should be illegal.

samus12345,

As of Jan. 20th, they will fully be one and the same.

FreshLight, in In 2025, People Will Try Living in This Underwater Habitat

Will it be filled to the brim with billionaires so it can also malfunction and we are on time for the annual billionaire sacrifice to the sea gods?

MonkderVierte,

Researchers are rarely rich, despite deserving it more than others.

MonkderVierte, in Microsoft Bing is trying to spoof Google UI when people search Google.com

Usual Microsoft, using shady tactics instead of creating a better product or just focusing on their own thing and respecting user choice. They should grow up sometime.

whodatdair, in Not even OpenAI's $200/mo ChatGPT Pro plan can turn a profit

Fuckin LLM bubble needs to burst already. I want some crazy compute cards to play with.

Also, who knew the only people who would pay 2400/yr for access would bebe the ones who plan to make hundreds of queries per day. What do like, people try to think about value for money before they buy stuff?! What are you all, NOT a filthy rich?!

SaltySalamander, in Is it possible to design a social media app or service that rather than focuses on farming engagement, it tries to promote quality content?

Define quality.

TAG, in YouTuber LegalEagle sues PayPal over 'sleeping leech' Honey extension | TechCrunch
@TAG@lemmy.world avatar

I agree that Honey is a sleazy extension, but should I be worried that if they lose, it will set a bad precedent? From the video, the Honey extension works by injecting a Honey referral code into all online shopping transactions, possibly overwriting whatever influencer referral code the user was under. If Honey loses, the court decision is likely to say that an extension creator is liable if they tamper with referral codes and tracking links.

This will be a problem for privacy extensions that strip out tracking cookies and referral URLs, since they are also messing with influencer attribution, though not for profit but at the request of the user.

Godnroc,

Nah, honey was marketed as a coupon tool without mentioning the referral manipulation it did that is its actual business model. Those privacy extensions just need to call out that they remove referral trackers too and everything is fine with them.

spicehoarder,

Not an issue because FOSS

Ulrich,

That makes no sense. The problem is not that and extension is tampering with tracker links, it is that it is falsely attributing itself as a sales representative.

Bronzebeard, in US adds web and gaming giant Tencent to list of Chinese military companies
