I always assumed incognito was just disabling history and cookies.

I wonder how a strictly linear thread structure is possible to transpose into a branching structure like lemmy

I don’t know how it is in the us but here in Germany many (single-brand-)dealers are also licensed mechanics (for that brand) - and since EVs are taking much less repairing than traditional cars they are basically shooting themselves in the foot by selling them

The main upgrade they need is the processor because the companies making those are not supporting newer Android-Versions and at some point that becomes a security-issue.

Problem is that replacing the processor to a newer generation usually means the whole mainboard is obsolete, too and then is very quickly doesn’t become easy to upgrade anymore

just switching between different types of cameras, screens etc. wouldn’t be as big of a problem but that’s also not part of the main-problem either

Solving security issues with the fingerprint scanner by not supporting it in the first place?

Do payouts for creators increase if people that watch them have premium? If not you are not buying it for the good content but for the service infrastructure

The problem is breaking up the network effect from messaging apps.

Noone is uninstalling WhatsApp since there’s always that one guy you need to keep in contact with that refuses to change.

Having aggregators like this is helping break up this

If only there was a law forcing messaging services to open an API for free choice of 3rd party apps…

Except if it’s in Chinese interest to skew the public opinion in a certain direction (like in this case the Anti-American and anti-imperialist-spins on the war against Hamas)

I’m sure the fact that that happened at the same time as Microsoft pushing their Game-Pass and their own Store is just by chance…

don’t kid yourself and think that they did that just for the benefit of the users and not to be able to get games and users away from Microsoft if that’s necessary…

That’s exactly why I don’t understand people defending Steam just because right now they are only using their monopoly against the developers but not against the users. One day that will change and move will have seen it coming.

Same with Google abusing YouTube creators for years but only now when they start pushing against adblock people look for alternatives.

Too many people are just lazy and complicit

Most people tbf

Luckily I didn’t do mine at all since it was obvious from the start that eventually stuff like this would happen once enough people gave their DNA away like that…

The whole period before about behaving responsibility and using masks showed you all you needed to know about how responsible and interested in the general wellbeing most people were so it only made sense to not leave it up to chance with that.

And it’s not like anyone was forced - only other people were secured from coming in contact with irresponsible and self-centred people that couldn’t care less about them

Not to mention identity fraud already being commons there

For sure fraud won’t be totally rampant…

Also I think the hardest part of being a bank is the shitton of regulations (especially in Europe) and not the software.

Twitter might need to hire a lot of experts and lawyers in that field to make it work.

Also banks are all about trust - and that’s precisely what Elon lost for most people in the last year

I thought teachers aren’t paid well in the US? Aren’t most people complaining that they get far too little money?

The problem is identifying it. If it’s necessary to preprocess every image used for training instead of just feeding it is a model that already makes it much more resources costly

creators to jump ship

that’s why I said it’s impossible - it the same kind of monopoly Steam has in that it’s impossible for the creators to NOT be on that platform because of the size it has but unlike Steam Youtube has started acting anti-consumer now instead of just anti-creator as in the past

YouTube has a monopoly that is nearly impossible to challenge because of the network effect.

Sure there are costs but it would be better if as many people as possible would be ready to jump ship to create an alternative

Apple has successfully trademarked everything that remotely looks like an apple with a bite taken out - there’s a good chance it’ll work
