I’m glad I chose iPhone instead!

Technology@lemmy.world•AI slows down some experienced software developers, study findsEnglish
1·4 months agoYes I read what you wrote - most of it makes sense. I guess I never associated the interest rates going up with Ukraine, I always thought they were a response to the economy slowly getting better and worries of inflation caused by the 2020-2021 stimulus packages. Aka Biden was trying to prevent excessive inflation as the stimulus packages bore fruit (which obviously didn’t work). But I do remember the interest rates being one of the big drivers of the layoffs once the tech companies no longer had near-infinite near-interest-free capital.

21·5 months agoWas it really Russia’s invasion, or just because the interest rates went up to prevent too much inflation after the COVID stimulus packages? Hard to imagine Russia had that much demand for software compared to the rest of the world.
What’s wrong with Google? AI answers are pretty convenient.
Can you get it for iPhone?
I thought Valve was the one who created Proton in the first place to let people play games on Linux

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•hypothetical: after Google sells Chrome, new owner f***s up, users flee to other browsers. Can Firefox step up and attract+keep a significant qty of users?English
4·8 months agoI don’t know but Internet Explorer somehow managed to mess it up badly enough to be widely considered inferior by the vast majority of the population, despite being pre installed on Windows. So I suspect Chrome could fall in the same boat if it’s bad enough. Though I guess there are still open source forks.

Technology@lemmy.world•‘You Can’t Lick a Badger Twice’: Google Failures Highlight a Fundamental AI FlawEnglish
32·8 months agoHonestly, I’m kind of impressed it’s able to analyze seemingly random phrases like that. It means its thinking and not just regurgitating facts. Because someday, such a phrase could exist in the future and AI wouldn’t need to wait for it to become mainstream.

54·9 months agoThis smug attitude is why vegans get a bad rap. Sure eating vegan helps, but you don’t have to go all the way. For instance, eating chicken instead of beef or reducing the amount of meat you eat. Imagine if the same thing was applies to transportation: it’s a lot easier to convince people to make your next car electric than to have no car at all (assuming America where commutes are long and public transit ranges from mediocre to nonexistent).
To be fair, California is kind of dysfunctional and constantly trips over its own regulations when trying to get anything built. For instance, needing excessive environmental impact review for things like trains that will obviously help the environment, or limiting ferry boats crossing the bay to protect the environment even though it likely results in more people driving instead.
So far the news and downloads pages still haven’t been updated
If I can’t download it, and the site says the latest version is 2.10.38, is it really released?

Technology@lemmy.world•uBlock Origin is no longer available in the Chrome storeEnglish
1·9 months agoYes, obviously I prefer to keep my secure credentials private to avoid having my bank account compromised.
I’m pretty sure any popular modern browser can be trusted not to leak that data, even Google Chrome. If anything I trust Chrome more because Google has an incentive to not obliterate trust in their security.
Now browsing history for advertisers is a different story - that is something I explicitly don’t care about. And that’s what I was obviously referring to in my first comment.

1·9 months agoYes, when it comes to sharing sensitive information publicly, I do care about privacy. Especially bank information - a regular bank statement could probably be exploited for identity theft - but it’s also nice to keep at least a little plausible deniability about who I am IRL (for employers and such).
When it comes to websites and browsers aggregating browsing history to use for advertising - which is what I was referring to in my original comment - no I don’t care.

1·9 months agoIt could be used to take my money, which directly and drastically harms me and benefits you. Or worse, “steal my identity” and take out a loan in my name. Things like bank statements could also potentially be used for that, and I have no reason to give them to internet strangers.

Is DDR3 affected too?
