They only offer Premium LITE now, which feels extremely ironic after rejecting it all these years. It’s like: “So, you declined my offer for years but have you considered… a WORSE OFFER, human?”

So the dollar goes back to a German expression and Marxism also originated in Germany. How ironic that the country was forcefully split with both systems competing against each other. History really does rhyme quite often.

Sounds like a content highway but implemented in the narrowest, most awkward and least usable way imaginable. And they‘re paving the ruins of the search result page that they themselves bombed to bits with it. I‘m almost surprised they didn‘t try to sell this to premium users as the solution to a problem they created. The fact that they roll this out to free users tells me it‘s utter slop that I‘m never going to use.

They know it‘s no use telling you all the things you know yourself deep down. No good advice will ever be anywhere near as effective as an idea from your own mind. And they‘re really trying to massage your brain towards having that idea. I think I got that from Inception and even though the older I get the more I think Nolan is kind of a hack, it‘s a good practice. Or at least I think so. I‘m no therapist after all.

Love the meme though. I get the frustration from just not moving forward but the best therapist I have ever had did just listen for about 90% of the time and Shared his own life experience for the other 10%. He was an older guy and he was absolutely fantastic.

Unfortunately those are insanely cheap to operate for how effective they are. If anything they’ll invest even more in hacker groups and the like to generate income similar to the North Korean model. Though the Russian economy looks extremely dire. They can only keep up appearances for so long until inflation spirals out of control. A war economy needs meaningful military accomplishments to function and so far they’ve had none to really speak of. At least not compared to what they have to give up for it.

Sorry, I really don‘t mean to be rude or hurtful, but from all I‘ve seen and I mean ALL I‘ve seen Chinese consumers have no taste whatsoever. Yes, their manufacturing has become great if they actually care about something but this argument is not about stability. What I mean is the more a company relies on the Chinese market and tailors their commodities abd luxury products around Chinese consumers, the uglier they become. Just look at European cars lately. Hideous. So yeah sorry again but I take that as a seal of quality for Apple‘s UI design.

And I wish they would tone down the hype. Maybe we can meet in the middle?

It looks to me like all they accomplished was making the job more dreadful and I‘m afraid the people making these decisions will see that as a partial success.

Would be a shame if people had so sift through AI generated gore before the bots like and comment it. But seriously, good on them.

What are people even watching on Disney all day? I assume it’s just a constant stream of cartoons for toddlers?

If abiding to the law destroys your business then you are a criminal. Simple as.

It’s what eroding the education system over decades, a pandemic, fake news and the rise of AI does to a generation.

I fear for the near future. Hell I fear for the present.

No. Not necessarily but the internet will become worse nonetheless.

I read it more carefully and you are right. The title is actually wrong as I have mentioned in the edit. Thank you anyway.

Not being able to criticize leaders that the International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants against is bonkers and simple censorship.

EDIT: After reading the official announcement thoroughly, I have to say the title seems… wrong? There are very specific things that are not allowed, some of which I can agree with. Others however, I do not.

Saudi Arabia is humanities dumbest prank.

These have been in use in German cantinas for a while as well. Usually inside hospitals or larger office spaces.

I’ve seen it a while ago and immediately knew this is exactly what’s going on. Didn’t know it was this wide spread though.

Are they hoping lobster Jesus will kickstart a new religion and bring in many paying followers or what‘s their angle here?
