Right because it‘s only „not propaganda“ when we complain about American tech products? They even said that Chinese consumers gave it mixed reviews and how controversial it is. It’s clearly a Chinese product for the Chinese market. I don‘t see what‘s anti-China about not explaining the exact relationship between everyone involved in the headline when they explain it in the first paragraph. What‘s Anti-China about the claim that the Chinese public largely rejects the idea? I think that‘s a good thing.

I pretty much only use Microsoft at work so it‘s my employer‘s problem when things go sideways there. But I understand not everyone can make the switch. Too much software and hardware drivers are still pretty much Windows only.

Isn‘t this why they‘re putting human workers into driving cages so they don‘t collide with working robots?

That‘s the only way to truly get rid of their shenanigans. I started degoogling a while ago. I learned that a faulty spam recognition system at Youtube can ban all your accounts (they know your google alts even when you never linked them) instantly for a comment you posted in a livestream, thinking it‘s spam. That includes your mail accounts and google pay. Just like that. Imagine that, you lose access to your mails, the google app store and your preferred paying method without a warning because you posted the same laughing emote 3 chatters posted before you. It is very dangerous to be too dependent on a single platform so I moved my mail somewhere else. I pretty much only use Youtube regularly now in terms of Google products.

I would opt out just in case. I remember using Adobe Acrobat at work and noticed they read every single PDF and generate a few comments about it even when you never asked them to. Meaning they‘re scanning through potentially confidential data. I have no doubts Google will do the same sooner or later.

So what made 2007 even better for you? I feel like that‘s important to know since these games didn‘t come out in 2025. You could‘ve played anything in 2007 that came out before that year.

There are entire media agencies that only do vibe coding. And that might be enough for a one-off event but many of them „develop“ long term solutions without knowing the code or it‘s vulnerabilities so it‘s safe to say their existence will be short lived.

I was finished with Windows before Microshit finished Copilot.

Well my guy have you actually used and I mean really sat down and used your burning pile of slop for an excuse of an OS? I bet you haven‘t because you don‘t have to. Your assistants have to deal with that and they get paid to not complain about it. Meanwhile you get paid to waste oxygen and have lost touch with reality to the point you‘re no longer able to contribute to society in your current position. How sad.

Just play Vintage story at this point. The development of this has been such a dumpster fire in terms of how the project has been handled from a top level from the very beginning that I don‘t have any hopes it will release in a decent state under its new old owner.

Well if we gonna make a post every time some rich fucker sells tech stonks now it will quickly evolve into spam. I mean, we already know AI is overblown and we don‘t need to take a single glance at someone‘s portfolio to know that because this is a technology community and we‘re informed about what big tech keeps promising and underdelivering for 3 years straight.

Or he simply got cold feet because Nvidia‘s stocks didn‘t implode yet as far as I‘m aware. The truth is this is pure speculation just like the entire slop ma- excuse me, stock market. There are better communities for tinfoil hatters and rocket monkeys.

I think your post just really proves my point because nothing you said is really about the topic of this community anymore. There are better places on the Fediverse specifically designed for politics or economics. As a rule of thumb, if a headline is about stonks, it shouldn‘t be posted because the comments will only derail further away from the technology topic.

You see that is exactly the problem I have with these posts. You don‘t actually know if the trading portfolio of a mega evil asshole actually has any impact on the technology world. Stocks are just gambling and he could make the wrong move here. Like 90% of high traffic posts in r/technology was just random billionaires trading stocks at some point. It was utterly pointless.

I thought we decided to not post stonks crap in here. It‘s what completely ruined the technology community over at Reddit before the entire site was ruined.

Zizek said it a while ago too, claiming that the general disbelief in a coming war actually increases the chances of a war. Voters and politicians as well as economists were getting careless because a war was just unthinkable and made dangerous deals with Russia that blew up in our faces.

Oh I know that book. In the end you‘ll be delivered crap automatically because the government decided AI knows what you need better than you do and you‘ll struggle to explain to the AI that you really don‘t want nor can afford that dolphin dildo sitting unopened on your couch table. But the balance was already drawn from your bank account so tough luck.

Because who wouldn‘t love to live in society where minors are being stalked by strangers for profit?

I mean every German who ever heard of GEMA knew this was inevitable all the way back in 2022. They threatened entire cities to the point some of them don‘t play music on Christmas markets anymore. You can‘t win against those guys, just hope for a hefty settlement.

I‘m looking forward to next year when AAA studios will continue to disappoint even harder while indie games flourish and gain market share. Maybe the AI bubble pops too. One can only hope.
