Apple is busy fighting DMA in EU and Google is busy fighting the monopoly case in US. What are they supposed to do, fight human rights abuses instead of protecting profits of shareholders?!

Addition: his father is a founding member of a right wing party in Turkey

I haven’t played any game I bought last autumn sale ¯_(ツ)_/¯

No, there’s no API for that

I strongly think what you did is incorrect but I appreciate you sharing your view, and disapprove those who downvoted you. Upvoted.

Agreeing with you on Palestine, but I think Trump will be way worse, in that case and many others.

You clearly haven’t read the full essay.

So long as the capital markets were willing to continue funding loss-making future monopolists, your neighbors were going to make the choice to shop “the wrong way.” As small, local businesses lost those customers, the costs they had to charge to make up the difference would go up, making it harder and harder for you to afford to shop “the right way.”

Food for your thought.

I don’t know, to quote someone I read here: “The world shits when the US farts”

US electing an authoritarian might encourage authoritarians all around the world (even more)

My rational side wants to see Harris win, but the anarchist in me wants to see Trump win, just to see what would happen. Not living in the US, obviously.

Trump winning could be a disaster for the whole world since US is such a major player in basically everything, but my anarchist side does not listen.

“Vote with your wallet” means more money gets you more votes.

Some users leaving Reddit/instagram/twitter is not a problem, especially considering network effects, but some advertisers leaving is a crisis.

If you’re a fan of the idea, you’re either a nazi or really really ignorant/naive/misinformed.

So I’ll assume the latter and try to briefly explain to you why it’s so bad: people bad, authoritarianism inevitable, results in ‘oops you’re not “human” because you lack/have X, you must die’

Humanity, just like nature, thrives with diversity. Eugenics starts with “getting rid of nasty diseases” but it’s always 1 bad classification of “disease” away from genocide.

Good points, you made clear this is no black/white case, it depends on how much we can trust cloudflare. It’s a US based for-profit company so the answer is “not much”.

However, if you check the link, you’ll see that they’re able to distinguish AI bot scrapping from other forms of scrapping. They also give the website owners a choice, so if it’s about principles, owners can choose to boycott, as most are already doing with robots.txt, which AI bros have no respect for.

Cloudflare does not benefit from a handful of websites getting all the traffic, and their track record is good so far. They also don’t profit from people visiting websites with a browser, they don’t show/own ads. To me, they have enough credit for me to believe they can protect open web.

We’ll see how this take ages though. I still won’t put all my eggs in a single basket.

Ikea’s are nice too

“We can scrape open internet” is such a CEO take. I’m no fan of Cloudflare but what they’re doing here is good for open web and bad for AI bros

JARVIS is AI. LLMs are superpowered autocorrect. We don’t have anything close to AI yet.

My favorite character is Goku from original DB. IMO he got dumber and dumber as the series went on, and he lost his original character a bit too. DBZ is cool and all but original DB was on another level.

RIP Akira Toriyama.

I think you can say the same for nearly all social platforms in the new age of internet. “influencers” generate “content” for their “followers”

Was going to tell you that she didn’t die in a model 3 but you found out yourself!

Lets ask the dead billionaire

lol, except the high prices in your country provide welfare and health benefits to everyone, a safety net for less privileged. High prices in US allow billionaires to buy their 4th yacht
