Yeah not criticizing, just recognized it and remembered I commented.

All good brother.

Update: I used my blender for another week recently and I have since forgotten about it again.

“It”

You’re welcome?

Yeah this is straight up illegal. The FTC and EU don’t give a shit if this was “just a test” or “a whoopsie doopsie.”

Big ol’ fine incoming for every day this isn’t fixed.

The law does apply to social media posts.

The social media company has to mark sponsored content and give users the means to do so themselves (when the partnership is between the user and a third party rather than the social media company).

Unfortunately it’s hard to prove and profitable to lie.

These stories are so dumb/intentionally misleading/outrage bait.

Executives have predefined stock sale schedules at regular intervals. This allows them to convert their equity to cash and avoid conflicts of interest. That is, it’s hard to gain an advantage over the market when you sell exactly the same amount every month for the next 4 years.

Where was everyone’s outrage the other 99% of times this guy sold exactly the same amount of stock?

Might have to block this bot if it posts puff piece CEO bullshit under the guise of “technology.”

Copying my own comment from another thread:

In those workers’ defense, the delivery companies spent hundreds of millions of dollars on a disinformation campaign to trick the public into thinking that voting for 22 was in their own interest.

It’s absurd that it was on the ballot in the first place.

Damn. This makes so much sense but is also so disheartening.

They had essentially a perfect product and a total monopoly over their market. Apparently, even that isn’t enough for some executives.

What’s even the point of trying to double or triple dip at that point? Maybe they made more money in the decade they got away with it, but the product is considerably worse than it used to be and now their dirty laundry is out in the open.

Shit’s depressing.

Just to clarify, skiplagged does do things a little differently.

For example: they saved me $300 flying from Japan to SFO because they booked me an additional leg from SFO to SEA. If you searched for the first leg on any aggregator (or the airline’s site), it was available but cost $300 more than booking the 2-flight itinerary to SEA (which would never show up if you searched for flights to SFO).

For what it’s worth, I agree that this form of pricing is absurd and should be illegal. The fact that skiplagged even exists indicates something has gone wrong.

I assume it means “minimum 15 years before eligible for parole.”

I’m reasonably confident that the cost to outfit officers with body cams and to give them all raises so they play ball would be significantly less than tax payers already cover in terms of police abuse settlements (ignoring the other benefits of making officers accountable for their actions).

Oh don’t worry. I also have a bag of frozen berries in my freezer that are also 12 months old.

I’ve been asking why cars don’t have more obvious visual indicators since I was like 8 years old.

It’s pretty weird that we’re basically just working with 2 sets of lights and blinkers at this point.

For AV’s specifically, a pretty significant/obvious missed feature is some indicator that the car “sees” you. Pedestrians make eye contact with drivers to check if crossing is safe. How is there no equivalent for AV’s??? It’s such an obvious miss.

By that same logic, the customers are also at fault because the requirement has been in the terms of service since day 1.

Not taking sides obviously this sucks, but blaming Arrowhead seems arbitrary.

I think the most likely outcome is one of:

  1. Sony pays to reimburse people who lost access
  2. Sony pays to reimburse anyone who demands a refund
  3. Sony removes the requirement entirely
  4. Nothing happens

I literally have a blender on my counter that I haven’t touched in… probably 12 months.

It’s exactly a money thing.

Publishers are usually responsible for all the shit people get angry about, but they’re also footing the bill to build the thing years ahead of time.

I wish it wasn’t all memes, but at least it’s active.

Consider the humble “em dash” — some people use it to interject a completely different sentence in the middle of another — the next time you’re trying to avoid parentheses.

It’s also like the perfect example of a gamepass game.

I loved it for like 3 days and then it ran out of depth and I haven’t touched it since.

They have those in the US too.

Such an obvious scam. “Do this thing that might lower your rates.”*

~in 99.99% of cases rates increased~

That’s a B+! Fire all our engineers immediately.

  • some tech CEO, somewhere

The point is this is one sale of many.

Yes, hypothetically the CEO could influence the date an announcement is made for their own personal gain, but it’s not worth it and there will be many more sell events in the future.

Long run, trying to scheme an announcement to gain more at 1/100 sales isn’t worth it.

CEO John Riccitiello shifted 2000 shares last week on 6th September, … part of a trend over the past year where the exec has sold more than 50,000 shares in total and bought none.

This is a drop in his equity bucket and any gains this article implies are due to “insider trading” will disappear in subsequent events.

It will also contradict itself and make the same mistakes even if you point them out.

Can be useful as a starting point, but you basically need to fact check everything it says.

I mean I’ve never used either of those apps and my computer doesn’t even have a camera.

Sounds like textbook bloatware to me… 🤷‍♀️

According to SteamDB at the time of this writing, the all-time peak player count for Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs on PC has yet to reach the game's 64-player quota. Only 52 players have ever been recorded to be playing the game on Steam simultaneously since its debut

At the same time, I think I would actually use this tool if it were available on a corporate machine.

I already assume my employer is recording everything I do. So, I have zero expectation of privacy.

I regularly have like 30 different tabs and text documents open that meant something to me a couple days ago, but I’ve since lost the context. Being able to ask my computer “why was this important?” or “how did I find this?” would be super useful.

If you’re still in the zone, I meant to clean my apartment this weekend… but got distracted.

You don’t need to go back.

That game falls firmly into the “formative/great for its time” category.

Your memory of it is better than how you’d react to it today, I assure you.

Don’t blame the devs.

It’s the execs and PMs who have other priorities.

Total… Star Wars? Star total wars?

Why would we compare it against an average coder?

ChatGPT wants to be a coding aid/reference material. A better baseline would be the top rated answer for the question on stackoverflow or whether the answer exists on the first 3 Google search results.

No there isn’t?

A massive fire broke out at an amusement park in western India Saturday, leaving at least 27 people dead, including four children, police said.

The fire occurred at the park in the city of Rajkot in Gujarat state.

Police Commissioner Raju Bhargava said the fire was now under control and rescue work was underway. The bodies were difficult to identify because they were so badly charred, police officer Vinayak Patel said. 

Bhargava. the police commissioner, said that police were working to determine the cause of the fire. 

"We will be registering an offense for negligence and the deaths which have occurred. Further investigation will take place once we complete the rescue operation," he said.

The amusement park was privately owned by Yuvraj Singh Solanki.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote on X that he was “extremely distressed by the fire... in Rajkot. My thoughts are with all those who have lost their loved ones. Prayers for the injured.”

Oh interesting.

Maybe I’m using Lemmy wrong, but I generally avoid subbing to multiple communities with the same name because it usually results in a lot of duplicate content in my feed.

Maybe this is an exception.

I hope you reconsider your stance cuz you’re making a lot of assumptions about people based on very limited information.

You do you, but throwing out applicants because you think they personally agree with everything their past employers have done is ridiculous.

FYI emojis work fine 🤷‍♀️
