  • TikTok faces calls for ban amid claims of anti-Israel ‘indoctrination’

    Jump

  • They ban it because TikTok won't do western propaganda exclusively. You can't even say in the media that Israel is wrong, even if you use 100% documented sources.

  • Apple backtracks, reinstates Epic Games’ iOS developer account in Europe

    Jump

  • Of course they do. They have acted like they got a choice for too long, so it's good to see they won't get away with it.

  • Is the Fediverse truly decentralized? Not exactly.

    Jump

  • Whoever wrote this blog post missed the point in the way the fediverse is decentralised.

    It's not about hosting. It's about ownership. And that means hosting can change at any moment. Because no one company decides anything.

    That's why we really want the fediverse. Because it's not build for late stage capitalism and monopolies.

  • Apple is working to make it easier to switch from iPhone to Android because of the EU

    Jump

  • Amazing work by the EU.

  • Spotify, Epic Games, and others pen letter to EC, claiming Apple has made a 'mockery' of the DMA | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • And they absolutely will, if they go through with it. EU uses the "spirit of the law" approach, so there's no way they'll get out of this.

  • Will the digital euro really be equivalent to cash?

    Jump

  • Also very good points. This is in general a very good move by the EU, and I'd wish we had it as a currency in my country.

    It's also a choice to use, so if you don't like it then keep use your VISA/MasterCard.

  • Will the digital euro really be equivalent to cash?

    Jump

  • With this digital euro, all fees are paid by the EU. Which is the right way to do it. It shouldn't cost anything to spend and transfer money - just as it doesn't with cash.

    I can't get my head around how much money VISA and MasterCard is pulling out of society today.

    How banks take fees for you to do a simple money transfer.

    Scumbags.

  • Will the digital euro really be equivalent to cash?

    Jump

  • You can.

    Only once tho.

  • Reddit: 'We Are in the Early Stages of Monetizing Our User Base'

    Jump

  • Agreed.

    But it's just a little hypocritical to not use reddit because of this, if it turns out it's much worse to use Lemmy in this regard.

  • Signal and Threema want nothing to do with WhatsApp

    Jump

  • Ehm, they don't show up magically.

    You have to backup directly to your new phone, otherwise it won't get transfered.

    I just did this, and I can 100% confirm that not backuped data won't go to the new phone.

  • Reddit: 'We Are in the Early Stages of Monetizing Our User Base'

    Jump

  • And why would anyone believe they'd stop if it wasn't legal.

  • Reddit: 'We Are in the Early Stages of Monetizing Our User Base'

    Jump

  • Question: Wouldn't Lemmy instances easy be able to this without many users knowing?

    And would they also be able to sell data from other instances, because they can load data from federated instances?

  • Elon Musk Says First Neuralink Patient Can Move Computer Cursor With Mind

    Jump

  • Show it then.

  • Big Tech is extremely unimpressed by Apple’s EU App Store changes

    Jump

  • Let them get fucked by EU fines then? At least they are big enough to not just be a slap on the wrist.

  • AI hiring tools may be filtering out the best job applicants

    Jump

  • I don't think you know how LLM's are trained then. It can become racist by mistake.

    An example is, that there's 100.000 white people and 50.000 black people in a society. The statistic shows that there has been hired 50% more white people than black. What does this tell you?

    Obvious! There's also 50% more white people to begin with, so black and white people are hired at the same rate! But what does the AI see?

    It sees 50% increase in hiring white people. And then it can lean towards doing the same.

    You see how this was / is in no way racist, but it ends up as it, as a consequence of something completely different.

    TLDR People are still racist though, but it's not always why the AI is.

  • EU to hit Apple with €500m fine over antitrust music streaming complaint from Spotify

    Jump

  • I wouldn't call it hate by any means. We more feel sorry for them. Even though over 50% did it to themselves.

  • EU to hit Apple with €500m fine over antitrust music streaming complaint from Spotify

    Jump

  • You're welcome back if you like.

  • Are there any genuine benefits to AI?

    Jump

  • This already happened with the industrial revolution. It did make the rich awfully rich, but let's be honest. People are way better off today too.

    It's not perfect, but it does help in the long run. Also, there's a big difference in which country you're in.

    Capitalist-socialism will be way better off than hard core capitalism, because the mind set and systems are already in place to let it benefit the people more.

  • Are there any genuine benefits to AI?

    Jump

  • Very true. I learned how to code surprisingly fast.

    And even the mistakes the AI made was good, because it made me learn so much seeing what changes it did to fix it.
