I don’t fully understand why they need to do this. What is the cost of their service? Using the tool is already a subscription service, what else do they want? It’s not like they have cloud services. They just want free money I guess?

I agree, I think a good compromise like school owned, locked down devices would still achieve the same thing

A calligraphy test is not irrelevant if you are studying to LEARN calligraphy. If you are arguing that calligraphy as a subject doesnt need to exist then fine then don’t study it. But you don’t learn it by asking AI to do it for you.

Lol I just remembered Elon’s tweet that led to him firing an Android dev. Who’s doing poorly batched remote procedure calls again? 😂

It’s so great to see. Just proves what everyone was saying all along. Communities are built by the people that participate in them, and not the tools. Get rid of those tools and we’ll find other ones.

I think the main problem with these companies and the startup/tech bro culture (mostly in the US) is that they are growing for the sake of just growth itself, because they want to get their own. The original idea is to grow as big as they can, IPO, then sell it off. They weren’t designing things to be profitable from the start. So eventually they all reach a stage where they are hemorrhaging money too much, and that is where all the enshittification happens (investors come in, they try to make it a real business now, but it wasn’t really feasible to be a business to begin with).

Same here - sometimes I fire it up just to do some hunting and fishing

Great recommendation on Euro Truck Simulator. I didn’t think I’d like it either but it is great fun especially for the limited time I have to play games nowadays
