I don't care if it's Google, Amazon, or fucking Walmart. If the product makes sense as it is right now and the price is on par with other services, I'll pay for it if it makes sense for me.
I'm not going to avoid something or complain about shit that hasn't even happened yet. If you don't like the corporations and want to avoid supporting them, fine, but I'm exhausted with people giving bullshit answers as to why xyz isn't fair.
Oh wait - they don't. They take losses from it. A business, meant for making money, is suffering a loss to provide goobers like you content and have the goobers making that content profit enough so they aren't in poverty for choosing to make videos for a living.
You people really throw logic out the window when you talk about shit like this. You want corporations to make less money? Go fix the fucking tax laws not bitch about average membership fees like a fuckwit.
.. No. It's $15 a month unless you sign up every single person in your family. It still boggles my mind how people have grown used to the idea of using services for free. The internet isn't free. Everything costs money, even Lemmy. YouTube has server costs. Employee costs. And dare I say it, profit margins because they're a business.
You need to pay for services you use. I'm exhausted with online entitlement that it all should be free.
This.. this is nothing. Oh no, my messages on public servers are being scraped! Good thing I haven't said anything in a public server I didn't fully intend on being there forever.
The Discord haters will feast on anything. Granted, this should still be shutdown as a TOS violation but acting like this is a profound intrusion on privacy? Get ahold of yourselves. This is no different from Tweets being scraped or Facebook wall posts. Don't add the bot to servers you don't want it on and it's a nonissue.
I learned from a chef that an oven would work better due to the even heat applied all over but in a pinch or if you don't want to do all that, the stove top could be fine.
Friendly reminder we've had photoshop for decades. Legislation can't keep up with technology and trying to do so will almost always come at the cost of constitutional rights. Like freedom of expression.
If I want to photoshop a dick on Trump's face, nobody should be allowed to tell me no. It's not fucking "interpersonal violence".
Because if they actually try they'll be shot dead in the streets by hellfire drones. Texas doesn't win against America. Especially not a gaggle of hicks who can't even spell secede.
The people who hate AI always seem to have no fucking idea how it actually works and it's frustrating.
People were required to teach the AI how to do it's job. A 'new employee' is going to make frequent mistakes during training. Yes - it took a long time to train a program to identify a person, match them to their ID, identify a product, match it to the UPC, then make absolutely 110% sure that item remained on the person when they left with no mistakes. For it to be flawless even when you shove it into your backpack.
Should the people training it have been paid more for their temporary position? Sure. Should Amazon have been transparent about how they were teaching the AI? Sure. They still did not rely on Indian workers for their stores, they relied on people to teach the AI, like doing a captcha, that the store relied on. Any human being would have done the trick, India just allows its people to be exploited the most apparently. Headlines are meant to make you click, not give you accurate information.
Experiments in technology don't always work. This was a bold plan that they gave years to which would have been a really cool thing to have. Just grabbing your shit and leaving? That's like EZPass for retail. There was definitely money there, they just couldn't get to it in time.
The two dozen people who actually enjoy eating bugs with like sauces and shit will truly never starve. I envy them. To have no fear. To see these little fuckers and go "Oh fuck yeah, food."
Whaaaat? You're telling me that the IDF, the only ones in the region with airstrike capabilities are responsible for the three separate and highly coordinated attacks on clearly marked food aid vehicles for starving Palestinians? Surely it was Hamas, the group that would only serve to benefit from these vehicles making their way into Gaza to feed their starving people as well as themselves.
I don't care if it's Google, Amazon, or fucking Walmart. If the product makes sense as it is right now and the price is on par with other services, I'll pay for it if it makes sense for me.
