the lack of control group undergoing the same monitoring means there is a high chance of bias.
I would also want to see secondary measures such as the amount of queries people did and what they actually used it for. Might be worth tracking over time to see if there is an increase or decrease in use. These sort of secondary measures give some confidence that it is useful and its continuing to be so and its not just people behave differently when watched.
He made that pretty clear in the run up to the election really, commit to nothing and do nothing just deliver soundbites. All he ever cared about was being in government, he had no reason to be doing it other than the power itself.
They finally realise that supporting a genocide might land them in the hague for crimes against humanity. It might, it certainly should but I fear that today the rich and powerful are beyond the reach of the law.
Even if your in and have a history of good questions and responses it is still ridiculously hard to get a question accepted. Stackoverflow is dying due to its own choices and its driven many people away from it. They caused their own peak in 2014 and its amazing it took this long to decline.
That was the point, politicians all over the EU have designed the system to do exactly that. The entire dither and delay tactics and watering down of measures, laws and scrutiny were all in the pursuit of extraction of maximum money from the governments into private hands in the name of investments and the politicians took their bribes to make it happen.
After he acquired it all and spent decades doing illegal stuff for which Microsoft received extensive anti trust fines. Lets not kid ourselves here is trying to redeem himself for his prior billionaire behaviour and it often comes off more as “greenwashing” than actually helping people.
Wealth based fines would be extremely based. Most people would pay nothing and the wealthy would be paying a heck of a lot more. Which is why it will never happen its all about punishing the workers.
So many of the GPUs have been crippled for the purposes of gaming and there is zero incentive for Nvidia to produce drivers for those cards to do anything else. Alas they will just end up in landfill.
Microsoft remains convinced we want clippy everywhere regardless of how many times we have rejected these solutions!
Depends on the headset, they don’t all work on Linux unfortunately.
This has been ridiculous. I have no idea how long my CPU will last and whether it will just randomly start failing. Intel has run out of spares and it seems to have had so many stabs at fixing the problem now that if we believe this is really the last one we are the fools.
These CPUs need a recall.
A right to repair is long overdue but more than that when it comes to medical devices it’s obvious battery replacement is going to be necessary and should be user accessible.
Having now flooded the internet with bad AI content not surprisingly its now eating itself. Numerous projects that aren’t AI are suffering too as the quality of text reduces.
Twitter is defined entirely by what is followed, you can stay completely out of the toxic far right stuff and block those that don’t know where they are. There are still plenty of sub communities there that exist no where else and you can control your feed better than Lemmy and other forum like systems. Twitter overall is declinimg but it’s not the full picture because what is happening doesn’t impact lots of people who use the platform that much.
They are a lot more expensive than expected at the moment, once they start selling at the 30$/KWh they were proposed at they will be fantastic but if they stay at their current price LFP is going to be a lot cheaper.
The first attempt of many, the tech industry will normalise a subscription model alongside the hardware they just need to find the right justification that doesn’t have universal push back. It worked for games, the trojan horse used was (often token) multiplayer addition and it will work in hardware too once they find the right combination.
That doesn’t produce any practical competition however. Some vertical splitting of the search business seems reasonable so we end up with multiple companies doing search out of it.
The law comes in two parts, the actual written bit that says what it is and the enforcement. Most people consider the first part what is necessary and lobby hard for it but really the most important bit in a practical sense is how it gets applied and enforced, without which the law is worthless. In many countries one way to defang laws is simply underfund the legal system or quangos that do the enforcement, another is putting someone in charge at the attornies office who de-prioritises those cases. The law as written isn’t worth the paper/bytes its written on unless there is a plan for enforcement that doesn’t involve every poor person using the rich mans legal system against giant corporations with infinite defence money.
He is just a continuous liar, its about taxes it always is.
There is no end to the greed of those with millions and especially billions and they aren’t content to just keep running a profitable business, they have to get all the money.
This is just the history of humanity and finances forever, the one saving grace in all this is every big business gets complacent in its money making and seeks ever increasing profit (and becomes management heavy) until a young upstart finds a way to do it a lot better and cheaper and disrupts the market. Google has become the big lumbering unable to change organisation seeking maximum profit now, its become IBM.
