No, because I am using what I like.

WTF kind of logic is that? Something that you choose to do is not creepy. If they took your pics without telling you, then it would be creepy.

Show me the stats to back that up.

Yes, this is a social media hit piece. MSM hates social media because it’s a way for the public to circumvent their lies. The entire article is based on (likely fabricated) anecdotal evidence:

“It’s really bizarre to me that everyone’s gone to this place in their mind that content has to be so curated,” Bruening told us. “So curated that you can’t show what you’re cooking for dinner, because that’s not cool enough.”

Everyone? Did they take a global survey? Do they see my instagram feed? This person just has shitty friends. Or they are lying.

The Pixel Pass is basically just a bundle of optional services that can be added to your Fi account for a very slight discount.

$300 over 2 years is not slight.

I understand completely. This is profiteering and another example of google killing a product I like. Fuck google. They finally got me to switch to an iphone after buying Nexus/Pixel for a decade. I’m switching out of spite.

I have been a lifelong googler. Owned every Nexus phone and Pixel until the Pixel 6, when I got Pixel pass. They finally made me mad enough to switch to an iphone. I dislike Apple very much, but I can rely on their services still being around 2 years after they launch.

Multiple things can be true at the same time. The art vandalism deserves to be put on blast. I would be surprised if it was a corporate mole because I heard those people talk and I believe them. They think they were justified.

Netflix gained 5.9 million subscribers in the same period.

This story is for virtue signaling morons who want to BELIEVE that the password sharing crackdown didn’t work.

It did. And now those losers are upset they can’t mooch off paying customers anymore. Hence the headline.

There is plenty they can do. They created this mess with their algorithm. They can undo it by changing it, again.

Google does not objectively score or rank a site based on what you are actually looking for. They rank based on how much time other people spend on the site. How many other sites link back to the site. They rank based on how many words are on the page, regardless of if that actually matters.

This is why when you google a recipe, all the top results are blog posts from soccer moms telling a life story about food. You don’t care about that stuff - you just want the recipe. But that’s what google cares about.

Google can change this.

I’d really rather see coverage of the exploits found in discord, zoom, slack, etc.

You intentionally clicked on this link.

Word and PhotoShop

basically it has some killer features for my job

This is why people make fun of apple users.

Can we not compare a science fiction film about traversing entire solar systems and fucking time travel to landing on the…moon?

Can’t ask to be scratched if there are no claws to scratch me. I already know how you feel about this. And I do not care.

Lemmy users’ ability to cope with opinions and choices that don’t affect them is crazy. They argue strawmen in the comments. Just wild.

I work for a company whose entire production process is built on Autodesk Vault. Only available on Windows. We literally cannot use Linux if we wanted to. And the tards here are still going to downvote this because reality is inconvenient.

LOL when does the iphone get calling screening?

Never. Apple fanbois are hilarious though.

You can make great cheese, but you can’t fake 900 years of experience and the brand recognition that goes along with it. That’s why people illegally put the parm label on cheese that is not parm.

Romano and Parm are not competitors. You would not make a Caeser salad with Romano. I mean you could, but the food gods will smite you.

why wouldn’t you want all your audio entertainment in one place?

Your desire to have a product function in a specific way does not magically reprogram the product to meet your expectation. This is a classic IT end-user issue.

• Here is program X, which does Y

• I want the program to do Z and will attempt to use it for that purpose despite the developer warning not to do that thing

Spotify podcasts are not sleep aides. They’re going to enforce it if you don’t get the hint.

I pay for youtube premium because I watch a lot of youtube and it is easily worth the price. I paid $12 to see oppenhimer and that was only 3 hours. I watch way more than 3 hours of youtube every week.
