Funnily enough asking the new whatsapp beta AI integration how to disable it does not get a response

CEOs are weird. DDG might be a privacy champion but it is still a for profit company. Meaning Weinberg wants to make bucks too. If Chrome is worth $50bn what does that make ddg worth? If Google get slapped with an anti-trust and forced to break up, who might benefit from the big bucks that might be floating around? And ever noticed how CEOs tend to fail up? Fluffing google is a nice advert for the next head of google search here.

Show me monetisation strategies, and hence value per user for the installed base if you want to claim that kinda figures imo

And if you start fucking with them then they will all go to Google’s new browser. Just like the old one. Not all, but you get the picture. Chrome isn’t worth $50bn to anyone but Google

Given the core of the product is open source (see chromium) I find it really hard to believe that the brand is worth that. Google could sell it for an amount and release Android Internet and it will do almost exactly the same thing. And users I suspect won’t care. Google needs broken up for sure, but the browser brand makes little sense to me being separate

Great read. Hard to see how people could fall for these myself but some must or they wouldn’t still be operating. I’m more surprised they aren’t asking for bitcoin

Jerboa, very Reddit is Fun like, on f-droid too!

To get back on topic: I bet you pull your phone out at the urinal

Old habits die hard. But the most teenager comment I have seen on lemmy needed a rebuttal

Sure, loads of sewage. But it also had smaller settlements, less people, and human waste was recycled more in times gone by too. Far more water was far more drinkable even 150 years ago

Lol, we definitely have had clean drinking water for far longer than we have had dirty drinking water, thank the industrial revolution for that. And try skipping a shower for a day - you’ll be fine. Soap also has a long history https://www.soaphistory.net/soap-history/ over 4000 years

So literally wrong on all three points. Perhaps you need to read more instead of doom scrolling and swapping nudes on your smartphone

Sony apparently has your back still

No SD card, no 3.5mm connector, no purchase

Dunno about found. I think that requires intent. This is a happy little accident

IRC!

/me laughs in European

Membership confers little, and offers the ability to attend afaiu. He ain’t attending anything anyway. He isn’t voting on boards/leadership. He can, and is, being ignored rather than risk the wrath. Because plenty of other society members should also be fucking kicked out too, but if they only do one…

The real fix is likely to be a fixed term membership. Every five years you need reapproval

Meanwhile, in the real world…

Except of course that http has a myriad of response codes that are more useful than a 200 with an error body. This was a serious mistake of GraphQL imo

Would watch the hell out of that

The monarchy hasn’t done enough for years for any overseas territories. No surprise, Charles should have been in the US and talking about Jamaica before Starmer visited. He would have too, but all monarchs have been hamstrung by the foreign office for a long time. The English parliament does not care
