It seems like everyone is forgetting that time exists, and corporations will learn from their mistakes and evolve.
Email was developed, standardized and freely distributed long before the internet became what it is today.
If email were created in this day and age it would look very different and probably fail because of corporate mismanagement (while CEOs take their golden parachutes).
Are you kidding? Lemmy itself is 100% public and easily scrapable. It’s likely easier to get data on users.
How long ago did those things happen, and what makes you think the uber wealthy capitalist owner-class hasn’t learned from their past “shortcomings”?
Why would multi-billion dollar corporations allow things like that to happen to them again?
I don’t think anyone anywhere is claiming 8GB RAM is enough for software and AI development. Pretty sure we’re talking about consumer-grade hardware here. And low-end at that.
No worries lol, explains my confusion of you bringing to Stalin lol…
Did you reply to the wrong comment? Because my comment you replied to said nothing about Stalin or Zuckerberg or any of that shit. I literally have no idea what you’re talking about.
“At that age”
Buddy, how old do you think people are when they’re supposed to start checking for prostate cancer?
Who is “us” here? Speak for yourself.
“Really guys, we just want to spend more money than we need to! This won’t stop people from smoking, we just really want to spend more money to design logos, packaging, advertising, etc.”
Come on, dude…
Right. Because it is always about money, and if their sales figures weren’t going to go down, then it seems like they’d end up saving a ton of money by completely cutting out their entire advertising budget. No need to even design a logo.
There’s a word for that, it’s called “casing.”
Obviously not “hacking,” unless they’re locked up by a computer or some shit.
A hacker using software like that to test vulnerabilities seems similar to me in some ways.
Very Cronenberg
Still happens.
Animal Well was coded by one guy, and it was ~35mb on release (I think it’s above 100 at this point after a few updates, but still). The game is massive and pretty complex. And it’s the size of an SNES ROM.
Dwarf Fortress has to be one of the most complex simulations ever created, developed by two brothers and given out for free for several decades. The game, prior to adding actual graphics, DF was ~100mb and the Steam version is still remarkably compact.
I am consistently amazed by people’s ingenuity with this stuff.
I’m sure they have a list of all of the library’s customers as well.
Oh yeah nothing bad could ever happen from effectively removing an entire section of the population from certain parts of the Internet completely.
I can’t imagine that ever going badly.
Bruh, you brought Stalin up?
I’m so confused by what you’re trying to say.
Will every reader also know the finer nuances of the 3 downward arrows, one of them referring to Stalin’s authoritarianism?
Yeah it seemed like you were implying (or actually just saying) that one of the arrows refers to Stalin’s authoritarianism. Which is a bad thing, right? Do we agree on that? And I have it as my profile pic… So I dunno how else I was supposed to take your comment?
And to be clear, again, it is not true that one of the arrows refers to Stalin in any way.
Huh that’s interesting…
Maybe we can hear directly from them about their views on Stalin:
The Three Arrows were adopted as an official social democrat symbol by the SPD leadership and the Iron Front by June 1932. Iron Front members would carry the symbol on their arm bands. The slogan “neither Stalin’s slaves nor Hitler’s henchmen” was also used by the SPD in connection with the symbol.

So lol at you falling for some kind of bullshit agitprop just so you can attempt a clever comeback on Lemmy.
I’m using it as a general anti-fascist symbol, and I like the idea of vandalizing swastikas with it.
That’s why you gotta laminate your seed phrase, at the very least. And put it somewhere where it will stay for a very long time and that you’ll remember (maybe hidden in a certain book, or put a false bottom in a drawer, I dunno get creative). Doesn’t matter what you have or don’t have on a disk, the Bitcoin isn’t on the disk, it was the words you should be protecting.
Why would it not be profitable, it’s still user data?
