    The price increase of Disney+ over the past 4 years

    Jump

  • It's why I cancelled last year. I got it for free through my FIOS Internet connection for a few years, but after that went away I paid for a year. But the price increase was just not worth the like 2 shows and maybe one movie that I watched on it a year.

  • Reddit embracing all out enshittification

    Jump

  • It has definitely become more noticeable on Reddit that huge numbers of either compromised or sold accounts are being used by bots to sell shit. They are in basically every thread now, getting upvoted to appear more legit until someone calls them out and they delete their content.

    Reddit is definitely on the way down. And a decent amount along the way. But unfortunately, it still is the best option for a modern day message board. I want to use Lemmy more, but there just isn't enough content being posted by enough people.

    Jump

  • The break down of the content isn't my biggest issue. The problem is that there just isn't enough content.

    Thankfully some mobile apps besides the official still work and Old Reddit still works on desktop.

  • Reddit embracing all out enshittification

    Jump

  • Via context clues I think this means conversations that have a high likelyhood of buying something.

    Like a thread asking for a phone recommendation is likely going to end in a sale. But it's written by a PR drone and thus doesn't look like English.

  • Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads

    Jump

  • If Roku actually does this I would definitely never use them again. Completely asinine behavior. Especially because most people aren't even using stand alone boxes with their smart TVs.

  • To be fair, this is just a patent, not Roku saying they will do this. But if they do, then absolutely.

  • is this the moment spez became Heisenberg? Reddit CEO warns users: "We know your dark secrets'

    Jump

  • Proving all of it is authentic would be difficult, but I don't think that is necessary. It isn't really disputed that reddit is the largest repository of human generated content currently. It was one of the reasons the whole reddit protest thing was even as big as it was, because when the reddit results left Google, searching for real information from people became a lot harder

  • is this the moment spez became Heisenberg? Reddit CEO warns users: "We know your dark secrets'

    Jump

  • Not a smart move, right before the IPO.

    Really? I think the opposite. He said this in a profoundly stupid way, but what he is saying is that reddit is still the largest collection of human generated content. And not just the sanitized stuff you post on Facebook or LinkedIn, but your actual political opinions, your fears, your hobbies, the totally real secrets you posted to the weekly "What is your darkest secret" AskReddit post, your porn preferences, etc. And that is likely very valuable.

  • Roku’s Ultimatum: Surrender Jury Trial Rights or Lose Access to Your TVs

    Jump

  • Compassion is definitely needed here the user shouldn't be blamed.

    But it is also true that essentially every smart TV is garbage. Never connect them to the internet or use their built in software. Something like an Apple TV will be faster, provide a better experience and be easier to use than any smart TV. Same with something like the nVidia Shield.

  • OpenAI introduces Sora, its text-to-video AI model

    Jump

  • What it was the end of was talentless painters who were just copying what they saw. Painting stopped being for service and started being for art. That is where software development is going.

    I think a better way of saying this are people who were just doing it for a job, not because of a lot of talent or passion for painting.

    But doing something just because it is a job is what a lot of people have to do to survive. Not everyone can have a profession that they love and have a passion for.

    That's where the problem comes in when it comes to these generative AI.

  • Apple Vision Pro Owners Are Struggling to Figure Out What They Just Bought

    Jump

  • The people who buy something like this (hopefully) have enough money where $3,500 doesn't matter or are developers who want to get in early on something that might be big in a few versions.

    Everyone else should avoid.

  • Sony is erasing digital libraries that were supposed to be accessible “forever”

    Jump

  • This is nothing new. Buying digital and streaming only versions of media just means you are licensing it. If you care, either break the DRM and reencode, or just pirate it directly.

  • GenAI tools ‘could not exist’ if firms are made to pay copyright

    Jump

  • Do you mean the whole thing or something specific like free commercial use being illegal?

    I think the answer to both are the people who created the art, text, etc that these generative AI tools are going to make mostly obsolete.

  • German railway seeks IT admin to manage MS-DOS and Windows 3.11 systems

    Jump

  • Imagine both the annoyance and job security having to manage MS-DOS and 3.1 systems for a railroad would entail.

  • GenAI tools ‘could not exist’ if firms are made to pay copyright

    Jump

  • I'm arguing for free commercial use being illegal, absolutely.

    And that fee should scale based on who is using it for commercial purposes. Microsoft and Google should be paying far, far out the ass for their data.

  • GenAI tools ‘could not exist’ if firms are made to pay copyright

    Jump

  • I'd be fine with this argument if these generative tools were only being used by non-profits. But they aren't.

    So I think there has to be some compromise here. Some type of licensing fee should be paid by these generative AI tools.

  • Aren't the Russian hypersonic missiles essentially just regular ballistic missiles? I remember reading something saying that calling them hypersonic was a stretch, and they have been intercepted by standard missile defense systems which actual hypersonic missiles wouldn't be.

  • It might even be from before then. I could swear I saw this copypasta back on the GameFAQs message board in the early 2000's.

  • Rich is an interesting way to put it. Bailing out the rich are tax cuts aimed overwhelmingly at the rich, not taxing capital gains and other ways the rich try to hide their true income and not auditing the rich because it is too much effort.
