  • Sorry about coming off as rude but all I wanted was an answer why they'd be easily replaceable because that's the only way Google can willynilly just fire the entire staff. Otherwise the premise doesn't make sense.

    But you're probably six feet deep on a five foot pole so apologies probably won't do too much for your.

  • I was basing my question on the plan how Google uses contract work. Well it's fucking hard to just throw that staff away if it's not easy or what? Try to fucking give two seconds of thought before being an asshole fucking shit head.

    My question was about them not being easily replaceable, like that other comment seemed to describe.

    Have a shit fucking life.

  • Tried browsing Temu on mobile browser. Fucking impossible. They push the app so hard that the website is basically unusable after few clicks. Compared to them, Reddit's gentle reminder feels like a favor.

    Anyway, turned me off totally from the site. If someone wants me to use their app when I'm potentially a paying customer, website or not, seems really suspicious. Seems like my instincts were correct.

  • Don't you think this show will be a little more than a vague reference or a quick cameo? I think you're making a really disingenuous argument here.

    And those cameos or shared-universe things should be negotiated anyway and probably are. It actually is also somewhat helpful for the show to share the universe with another popular show, otherwise they wouldn't do that. But this isn't that. This is them going "you liked Netflix's Daredevil, so here, enjoy". That's their selling point. It's not from the makers of Daredevil, it's the same Daredevil.

  • It's more like a default platform seeing as even former PlayStation exclusives are slowly getting a PC release as well. And I did call Starfield Xbox/PC exclusive, not just Xbox.

    It's probably not the word to describe what's getting released where and stems from marketing but it's commonly used in gaming so most understand its meaning.

  • Why do people behave as if Starfield was the first game not released on PlayStation?

    Who is doing that? It's just blatantly obvious that it would've been released on PlayStation without Microsoft meddling and their games sell a shitload, I mean Skyrim has been chugging along over a decade now. So I'm not really sure how Starfield is irrelevant to Ms buying shit conversation.

    It's not what being an exclusive means (let not get into linguistics here, I mean strictly the gaming industry term). I agree this specific case was anticompetitive but framing it as an exclusive just weakens this point in my opinion and allows to shift the debate away from it.

    Away from what? Everyone knows what it means -- or maybe I don't, please enlighten me in that case.

  • I'm still on my Bing diet from Google but they'd be an easy recommend if the search didn't suck ass. I'm not saying Google is that good either, equally bad on most cases, but from time to time I still need Google's help because they're getting me closer to what I want than Bing.

    But sure, focus on spammy, intrusive ads straight in the OS. Fucking idiots. I don't understand how they think they'll win that war without improving the product. I hate the AI as well because I can't trust it.

    Man behind 'dress that broke the internet tried to kill his wife'

    Keir Johnston has appeared at the High Court in Glasgow after being charged with the attempted murder of Grace Johnston at a holiday home in March last year.

    Idk I just thought this was weird so I decided to share it.

    (Opinion:) You're So Vain, You Probably Think This App Is About You: On Meta and Mastodon

    Those of you not plugged into the Mastodon community may not be aware of the predominant reaction to Instagram Threads. This started when it was merely rumored, reaching a crescendo with reports that Meta had been talking to a few of the larger Mastodon instances under NDA, presumably to encourage them not to “defederate” with Threads when it came online.1 Let me describe that reaction for you, with only mild exaggeration:

    Opinion: Meta's Threads app isn't ever going to connect to Mastodon, so stop pretending that it is

    What's the best thing (so far) you've seen in here?

    And why? Whether it's a comment, a post, a specific community/magazine, an instance, a meme -- whatever. What has stuck with you so far?

    Is there a r/moviescircelejerk adjacent in fediverse?

    I'm getting an itch to talk about hidden gems like Moon.

    Why are orcas attacking boats? Hint: It’s not a war on humans.

    This is almost certainly fad behavior that would stop if we left them alone.

    So what corners have redditors gathered to during the blackout?

    Here (kbin), Lemmy, Tildes... I hear Mastodon had a user spike. Is there something obvious I'm missing?

    I ask because I haven't felt the same mass of users that Reddit had. Obviously users have spread out, servers have been hammered, UIs have a learning curve and so on... But there might be other alternatives I haven't looked at that are worth that look.
