bro read ‘entrepreneurial glands’ and really got mildly infuriated about it

my brother

getting an suv changed my life

i’m so tired of nothingburger feel good ‘stories’ about search trends

this really is just reddit lite

i don’t think it’s lying, necessarily. i suspect that it’s embellishing, and it’s inarguably providing an incomplete, intentionally flattering picture.

the precipitous fall of print media over the past couple decades is something that would one day be written about in the history books if they weren’t also full of shit.

you really think someone would do that? just go on a once-respected publication and tell lies?

nobody wants to believe that they’re a villain, even mid-moustache twirl

Moreover, users of the satellite receivers were involuntarily taking part in attacks and might have experienced reduced device performance during these occurrences.

the article isn’t 100% clear, but this line suggested to me that they were being used to perform attacks themselves (although it also states “Allegedly, the functionality was needed to counter the attacks of a competing entity.”)

anyone else remember low orbit ion cannon DDOSing? i guess life imitates art

edit: receivers. doy. reading comprehension is hard.

if they expect you to do a consultant’s work, they should pay you a consultant rate

b) this is a remarkable incentive to NOT acknowledge criticism. I mean, if I’m Meta and I see this often, what is the incentive to not just force everybody to EULA away as much as possible?

how incredibly fucking dishonest. profit motive is more than enough incentive for them to continue to do what they’ve already been doing for close to two decades.

“don’t boycott exceptionally shitty companies or you’re responsible when they just get worse” is possibly the worst take i’ve seen so far on lemmy.

do you struggle to play peekaboo? how do you not grasp that they’re feeding into the same software ecosystem and your data is being stored in the same database?

it’s nice that the issue doesn’t affect you, but acting as if it doesn’t affect anyone else is solipsistic and tone deaf.

obviously the problem isn’t with jaws 3 specifically, it’s with an ever-growing trend in the entertainment industry.

It’s like AI upscales became a thing and the studios tossed out whatever previous methods they used, that seemingly worked JUST FINE, in favour of new technology that has GLARING flaws such as this.

i’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that they saved more money on the cheap method than they’ll lose based on the quality of the ‘remasters’.

“the original is available illegally or secondhand” is not even a little bit reassuring. of course someone will preserve old media but a large barrier to access is obviously not ideal.

Because I wasn’t trying to get the best deal

then why are you mad that you didn’t get the best deal?

not only did they gut the API for actual people, they carved out exceptions for “low volume users” to keep the bots inflating activity

now they’ve literally stolen from the people who paid to support the site in the first place. absolutely shameless

i really don’t want old friends or distant family finding me though

“there are too many elephants” was not on my 2024 bingo

as a consumer product, yeah. but teams is ubiquitous in business and govt.
