LinkedIn generated $15.7 billion revenue in 2023, an increase of 7.4% year-on-year

Basically, Goodrazi got touchy when asked about his organization’s efforts to neutralize government-spearheaded free tax filing programs. He hit back that Patel’s question — the editor said that Intuit is “legendary for lobbying against free direct federal e-filing” and then straightforwardly asked how much of their budget is allocated towards lobbying efforts — was “fundamentally” based in the “wrong premise” and was “inaccurate,” before declaring that Intuit doesn’t “lobby against free.”

Can’t wait to see what job they are turning into a gig next.

It is astonishing that the leads on this game didn’t take any notes on the successful parts of other team shooters released during that timeframe.

Oh no! Big tech company bought out my barely functioning, small, energy inefficient AI business! Whatever will I do with these wads of cash!

Oh cool! Now the govt can create data collection regulations and ban TikTok if an investigation shows they are in violation of those laws! Oh yeah, I forgot it is just foreign adversaries potentially collecting US data that is the problem. Thank goodness they are strong arming TikTok into selling itself to a pre-existing media company instead!

From the article, the data collection hinges on a bot going into a public server then scraping the history. Still a problem that Discord should act on, but it looks like there is no need to worry about private servers.

Which forces Tiktok to sell or be banned, correct? The issue I see is: why not just create regulation for the root problems instead of just focusing on that app? The only reason I can see, is that their priorities do not lay with protecting people, but forcing a foreign business to sell it’s IP to strictly American companies. Wether that decision has to do with the intentional or unintentional promotion of the US’s direct involvement in the genocide in Gaza or just Big social media companies lobbying for the removal of a competitor, we can only speculate. Both sides are doing their best to push this bill, when have the ®s collectively banded together to create positive change? The point being, reading the bill is cool and all, but you do have to ask, “Why target a specific company instead of the alleged problems of foreign adversaries getting their hands on our data?” If we had hard data collection and selling regulations, it would not only allow them to ban predatory apps (foreign or domestic) but also ensure sensitive data cannot even reach our enemy’s hands.

What are your sources saying the reasoning for the bill is?

So they are going to put in place some hard data collection and selling regulation, right? Right?

I can’t wait for people to start inserting disruptive code using white colored text in their resumes.

I am extremely tempted to @ some guy who was shilling for nvidia and saying they weren’t a monopoly.

It will kill industries temporarily, until the corpos realize their success came from the artists.

Rip, god damn it, Tumblr.

I think it does. I was able to check the opt out setting from the app and it was already on. I don’t remember turning it on, so it might be default? I did update the app prior, so you might need to do that first.

I can toggle the opt-out setting from the app, I think it is default to opt-out? Can someone check what their default is? It is down the visibility setting.

Edit: Just remembered that I did update the app today, so you might need to do that first.

Yeah, don’t be unrealistic. We can’t just have a group of competent individuals properly plan out how to dismantle a monopoly to allow for proper competition in the industry. If they don’t hold onto their monopoly, how will we ever see technological advancements?

Screen capture being disabled in private mode on firefox is really reassuring to me.
