Wtf is this thinking.

Open Ai wouldn’t use something or someone without consent? There’s a plethora of lawsuits and evidence that they did that with pretty much every medium out there.

I dislike this sentiment. Just because something is FOSS or open source, doesn’t mean it’s not harvesting your data or doing something nefarious.

Wtf is your problem copy and pasting your comment everywhere? No one keeps asking for your opinion on each comment.

When?

Anyone have a non-paywalled link?

I rarely see that,. But what I see all the time is Linux lovers being toxic fanboys trying to shove their “passion” down everyone’s throat. Also, 99% of them being wrong about what it can “offer”.

Its a pure superiority complex fanbase.

Okay, wow.

You do know rent is just someone with a mortgage on a house too right? (Paid off or not)

And if that landlords mortgage goes up, that will also make the rent they charge go up. ( Often far more than the rent, as it’s percentage related. So, if your friend was renting, he’d be even worse off…

So, what you’re saying is… Is house rates went up on his mortgage right?

And because of that he became poor?

So you’re saying your right with the assumption that if he rented his rent wouldn’t also double??

Absolutely is. It’s fucking outstanding how big corps are eating it up.

Alrogithm corp = nothing new, boring low evaluation

Change it’s name to:

AI corp= 1 BILLION DOLLARS!

AI isn’t new. Algorithms “are” ai. All apps always used it. But it’s changed from algorithms to AI.

Lemmy users don’t respond well to reasonable criticism or facts.

Only toxic and stupid comments allowed.

If you donate to the devs, of course they still have to pay taxes. That’s still income.

Okay? And physical stores don’t? This isn’t news and doesn’t address your claim whatsoever? It doesn’t compare spotify vs indi labels.

Discoverability, publishing, advertising, gigs etc.

Wohh there, that’s a lot of claims with 0 proof.

Can yo source any of that?

You’re completely right. People suck steams dick are ridiculously hypocritical and blond.

I was mocked for defending Epic trying to compete withs steam. They’re doing great work for Devs and gamers. But sadly, blind gamers (who claim they hate monopolys) aren’t self aware enough to see the trees through the forest.

Let me frame this another way.

Google is monopolistic and kills any other competitor from competing. Thus preventing consumer choice.

Google is already one of the biggest companies in the world. I’ve never given them a penny in my 2 decades of service use. Yet the line goes up.

They exist because of us the consumer.

They also don’t pay, let alone treat, their creators fairly. Although they are 99% the reason they exist.

Yet Google wants more because line must go up.

There are other services I pay for such as nebula, float plane, patron specifics. But not all creators can sustain that. And I doubt it I pay for YouTube that will change. Because spoiler alert. YouTube don’t pay well. It’s sponsors and merch that keep creators alive.

Kind of a shit response to such a well written reply. Most of us would use this guide likely don’t already have any of this set up. Imagine spending so long setting this all up when there’s a good reply that can further improve on stuff before it’s in place.

Good for you knowing this before everyone else who knew! Really impressive! You’re so cool!

Now stop assuming everyone has read news that you have.

Absolutely spot on reply.

Brand recognition and memory triggers is what big brand ads are about.

Cleanex, Hoover, Coke, most cologne/perfume ads, Old Spice…

What stock price are looking at? It’s up 50% this year.

And before you quote that it’s lower than its peak during COVID, so is the majority of not all big tech firms.
