It’s systemic, and whether or not it’s perpetrated directly by big tech, they are the primary beneficiaries i.e. increased ad sales.
This is a problem that requires regulation, which means it will not be addressed meaningfully, as that won’t happen anytime soon.
I wonder if this will have a significant negative impact on Pixel sales.
Not entirely true, but necessarily false either.
Projectivy launcher for Android TV is great and will remove home screen ads, and provide a much more streamlined interface overall.
Apple TV is really nice though, clean, smooth, and stable. I honestly would recommend that to most people, especially if they already have Apple products.
There were backups!
Unfortunately, they were located three rows and two racks down from their source.
In their defense, they clearly never thought the building would burn down.
And let’s be fair to them, who’s even heard of lithium batteries catching fire?
This was a once in a millennia accident, something you can’t anticipate, and therefore can’t plan for.
Unless you’re talking about off-site backups. Then maybe they could have planned for that.
But who am I to judge?
I have no idea what you’re going on about.
It’s not a matter of betrayal, it was a video revealing another area of influence in society that is now controlled behind the scenes by private equity.
Whose work was I shitting on? I was shaming people who were down voting that very well sourced and informative video, that documented private equity’s quiet takeover of major YouTube channels.
Maybe you should review the comment thread and see if you meant to respond to someone else, because that’s the most charitable explanation I can come up with for your responses to me.
I didn’t single out any particular YouTube channel for individual scorn. My comment was in reference to that very well sourced video about private equity buying up / investing many YouTube channels, of which they provided sources for in the description of the video.
The video which made the accusations, not me, provided sources for all of the claims.
Did you even look?
Sorry, that was rhetorical, obviously you did not look.
Anyone down voting this should be ashamed of themselves.
Like deeply and personally ashamed.
The type of shame that follows them for the rest their lives, because that’s how scummy you’d have to be in order downvote someone shining a light on how private equity is buying out major YouTube channels.
Something that I was entirely unaware of, and appreciate your comment regarding.
I guess it depends on your needs, but given that they are CS students, they may want newer updates than Debian Stable provides.
I know snap is shit, but Ubuntu is still one of the default recommends for new users, but yes, my preference is Mint for new users.
Sounds like someone purchased, or otherwise gained access to, T-Mobile’s targeted customer advertising and marketing profile data.
Or, the kind of information that data harvesting applications gather, and then sell to data brokers.
I wonder if they have a grudge against T-Mobile, this is an early stage of a larger plan, or if it’s just for the lulz?
IMO Ubuntu or Mint first.
Eventually they’ll learn the way of either Fedora or Arch for their workstations, and Debian for their servers, but that does take a little time getting used to Linux as a whole.
They tried several times, and that was before Israel had a nuclear triad.
So, no.
I think in this scenario OOP is better off just helping his friend get Linux set up, as requested.
But, by and large, I agree with your stance on Mac computers.
They typically just work, the build quality is usually phenomenal, and most importantly, no Microsoft.
I can’t imagine the levels of pain I would be in if I had to provide tech support for my elderly parents Microsoft Windows experience. Thank God they use all Apple products.
Do not use Cosmic for this brand new user.
It’s still beta, and I assume your goal is to have them keep using Linux.
Ubuntu or Mint for new users.
I vote Mint, but either works.
No one goes to bat this hard for someone they don’t support.
Maybe the rest of the people here don’t know about Ethan’s long history of being a vile and detestable human being, but I have a good idea.
And no, I’ll never feel bad for, or side with, the pro-genocidal and open pedophile that is Ethan Klein.
To anyone else reading this, Google anything I’ve said, the receipts are available for everyone to verify.
Hello Ethan, I didn’t know you were on Lemmy.
Got to say, I’m not a fan, you seem pretty psychotic.
Although I guess you could be a h3 fan, but that might actually be even more disturbing.
Edit: I’m surprised so many people here are pro-Ethan when his biggest, and most vocal, issues are that Israel isn’t committing genocide, anyone who says they are is a Hamas agent, and that Palestinians are sub-humans.
He’s also an inveterate liar, racist, and has an entire account dedicated to making pedophile jokes on Reddit, about himself being a pedophile.
That was great, things for sharing!
Can you elaborate on their use of the ban hammer of injustice?
I don’t use it, so I’m unaware of any dramas, but mass banning sounds interesting.
That’s my point, I don’t use LLMs for those operations, and I’m aware of their faults, but that doesn’t mean they’re useless.
So yeah, I look forward to the AI bubble popping, but I’m still going to use LLMs for type of tasks they’re actually suited for.
I don’t think many people on Lemmy are under the the spell of AI hype, but plenty of people here are knowledgeable enough to know when, and when not, to leverage this useful, but dangerously overhyped and oversold, piece of technology.
My hunch is that the OEM is looking to go after enterprise phone sales and views Graphene as a competitive advantage for that market.
Blackberry seems like a natural fit, but I don’t know what their manufacturing capacity is looking like these days.
