Bit of a shock for me. Wish they’d announced that they were about to announce that the announcement was about to happen.

“Download our app and consume ads on it because… becaaaaauuuuuusssseeeeee, um, let’s say SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN? Maybe terrorism? Just pick a reason you’d believe and get the app, okay?”
Should still be somewhere. Maybe in the carpet or the sofa…
And that’s why we must lock every one of our free citizens up. Y’know, for their protection.
Since Goebbels used the phrase “If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear”, then he’d be the one arguing against the right to privacy. The fascist dogma is eroding privacy in favour of surveillance - ostensibly to protect the people, but really just to control them.
No no no, that’s just “Florida Man”, that’s the one dude you keep hearing about. Florida Georg is a statistical outlier and should not be counted.
“We do not use the term ‘serf’ here. It makes the serfs uncomfortable.”
“In fact, if we look at the only marker that counts - money - then corporations are even more people than people are.”
Yeah, once you’ve given the app permission to snoop out all your data, they have what they came for and don’t need you to keep it any longer.
“My profits from fencing your wallet could not exist if stealing your wallet were punished.”
“Ah, you’re right, how silly of me, carry on.”
WON’T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!! I am clearly loudly screaming about the children, so anybody who is against me with their logic or reasoning or well-founded objections must then obviously be AGAINST the children because these are the only two (2) options that exist. So you better shut up and take whatever abuse I can dish out because you don’t wanna look like a terrorist! Or a pedophile? I forget what boogeyman we’re currently using as an excuse to get people to agree to taking away their rights.
The artists whose stuff was stolen with the intent to profit from replacing their labour with the click of a button.
“Yeah, well, but having no mods is actually great, we don’t even need no mods and these grapes are too sour anyway.” - not an alt account of spez at all
I think you just answered the question why monopolists are working so hard at preventing that.
Corporations want gamers to want mass subscriptions because they want to rent out their games forever instead of getting only a single payment for their product. And then they find flimsy excuses to push subscriptions for products that do not warrant subscriptions but are mutilated to squeeze some way of adding subscriptions into them. And then the corporations let games without subscriptions fail while pretending that subscription-based services are delivered because there’s demand and not because they don’t want to deliver finished products that don’t generate easy endless trickling revenue streams.
Aaand that’s enough internet for today.
but creating a training database for your commercial product is distinctly different from research
Oh, but they are researching how to massively profit off stuff they steal from other people, so it counts again.
What’s not to get? You convince the more gullible to put money into it, when enough people have fallen for it, you grab and run. Really nothing new.
X, the platform formerly known as twitter, is now dealing in sour grapes.
But maybe this one correct take negates the 517 instances where he made it look like he was a grade-A asshole last week alone.
