You mean Chrome? 🤣

Alternatively, this is perhaps the only way for Microsoft to pressure hardware makers to stop shipping BIOS motherboards. They won’t naturally go away unless there’s an incentive.

• Ublock Origin, not Ublock

Even if you get rid of every nuclear power plant, governments will still pursue bombs.

Oh, that makes sense.

Google will literally sell you photo books.

Most of the big ones. Gmail, calendar, maps, YouTube, YouTube music, photos, tasks, pixel…

It’s more interesting to say the ones I don’t use tbh: Drive and Chrome.

But to do that, the algorithm has to know the right answer in the first place. Meaning a human has to tell it what’s right and what’s wrong.

Have you seen Google’s generative AI tests? They’re trying to do exactly that and it’s mostly useless.

Any metric that isn’t direct human curation can be gamed.

I like Google products but the search engine really has become shit. I’m not sure there’s anything they can do about it though.

You missed the point. OneDrive is the solution for my family. Why would they want to turn it off?

Alright, you do you. But I’m not going to turn it off for my family members who would be pissed if their computer broke and lost their files.

What about people who can’t be vaccinated?

That’s definitely a valid concern, I don’t think private enterprises should hold the secrets to protecting people from deadly diseases.

I’m amenable to the idea of getting first dibs on an idea you came up with (software, hardware, fiction…), but it’s been clearly abused to an insane degree by corporations who want to make a quick buck.

“Your body, your choice” has a limit once a super dangerous pathogen shows up and people start refusing the best tool we have to stop it for increasingly batshit reasons.

If you choose not to vaccinate, you’re directly putting everyone else you interact with at risk. So there’s a limit

Yeah, the lack of MTG players is really sad.

Idk, I’ve consistently seen that the instances defederated from (at least on lemmy.world) are either full of trolls or bigots.

Yeah, that’s definitely what I’m feeling. It’s a lot more irritating browsing here than Reddit.

Exactly! It goes like this to me:

“Billionaires and landlords are bad for society.” Hard agree!

“There should be less billionaires and landlords.” Okay, I agree with that too.

“We should kill them!” NO! FUCK NO!

I understand that if society is going to change for the better, that some people deliberately stand in the way and others will inevitably be forced to stop them. But there’s this new school of thought that says “My enemies are ontologically evil and all harm done towards them is morally good” which sickens me.

An act can be justified, necessary, and still immoral.
