following its acquisition from Sony

Has anything good EVER come from big company acquisitions AT ALL?

Geocities -> acquired by Yahoo -> crap -> death

Youtube -> acquired by Google -> ad crap

Blogger -> acquired by Google -> crap

Macromedia -> acquired by Adobe -> Monopoly crap

Washington Post -> acquired by Bezos -> political crap

MySQL -> Acquired by Oracle -> copyright crap

Github -> acquired by Microsoft -> crap

Reddit -> acquired by Conde Nast -> political crap

Twitter -> acquired by Musk -> utter crap

Every single time I see a cool startup get bought by a big player, all I can see is the service going to shit.

It’s one thing to be uncooperative with Linux development.

A very different thing is to introduce vulnerabilities into existing working code.

Intentional? Better use Negligent. It’s hard to prove intent; knowledge of something going on is much easier to prove.

Agreed, fantastic story but I’ll be damned if I wasn’t moved to tears.

Hey, Robin! I know you have to vent sometimes into your works, but give the poor guy a break, won’t you?

• Hyperion Cantos.

• Neuromancer.

Precisely to stop people like you, Donald.

Here in Mexico we have a saying, “más católicos que el Papa” (more Catholic than the Pope), referring to people who are too zealous in their faith and keep judging others.

Again, WHY ARE YOU NOT CONDEMNING THE COMPANY???

You know you totally sound like a shill, don’t you?

I’m not saying you are, I’m just saying that for someone claiming to be a sheep you howl a little bit too much.

Repeat after me: There’s a difference between free speech and being a bigot.

Interesting that your first reaction was to condemn the union and not a billion dollar company for laying off their workers after record profits.

Billionaire doesn’t give a shit about the working class. News at 11.

Obviously you either didn’t read the article or don’t care about actors being forced to enact sexual assault scenes. I’d rather think it’s the first, because from your response I’d assume that you simply don’t care about the actors’ well-being and just want your fap material.

Please pay more attention the next time, and at least pretend that you care. This is about informing the actors and getting their consent.

And don’t come with that crap about unions; in the game industry unions are practically non existent.

So read the article, twice if necessary; you might learn a thing or two.

When techbros said “you can type a question and the AI will answer”, they seem to have forgotten that we expect the answers to be true and accurate.

And they seem to have forgotten that to do that, they actually need a database of facts.

Not necessarily. Corporate money has a hidden contract. Mainly, you will develop what we tell you to develop and you will stall what we tell you to stall.

Google money is ad money. It’s DRM money, it’s private silo money, not general development money.

If you believe corporations drive all good development in the world, look at how many projects have been bought and killed by Microsoft.

In fact, why would Firefox accept money from one of its competitors? That’s SUPER fucked up.

Just think about the anti features that Google mmay want Firefox to implement: Unlockable ads, third party cookies, user tracking, and so on.

Is tha the development we want?

I say, let’s open fundraisers and keep Firefox free of corporate influence.

It’s a threat to the Mozilla CORPORATION, not the Mozilla Foundation nor the browser.

Nothing to be really scared about. Move along.

My colleagues and I have developed an artificial intelligence system that helps buildings shift their energy use to times when the electric grid is cleaner.

Meanwhile, AI systems are getting trained while using the equivalent of several countries’ use of electricity.

What a bullshit article. The headline itself is so deceptive it makes my blood boil. Now everyone will think AI is a net positive for reducing power usage while it’s all the contrary.

How on Earth is genocide moral?!?!

“Edit: I had no idea… I thought it was the norm”

Thanks for confirming the article 😁

That little fang there tells me she’s up to no good.

Especially after the events that transpired last week. Politicians need to show the people that opposing them nonviolently IS viable. It’s in their own best interest.

Otherwise it’s “fuck the rules, let them try”, and based on history they WILL try.
