I’m gonna posit something even worse. It’s trained on conversations in a company Slack

Unfortunately I am primarily an android user, as I always have my phone with me.

I shall give it a go for desktop at some point though

Friendship ended with Firefox. Waterfox is my new best friend ❤️

Sure, but I’m still feeling like complaining that there isn’t a business that’s made affordable pay-to-search a thing. (That I know of)

I’m not taking back that $120 USD/year for search is way more than most people would be willing to pay

Though yeah, I suppose saying their business model isn’t working was hyperbolic, I must admit.

The business model just doesn’t make sense then (using search partners).

Because $60, let alone $120 US, a year is far more than most people would be willing to pay.

Dunno what to say, it’s just more than most people can justify paying for the service.

I’m gonna stick with DuckDuckGo and the newly free mullvad cached search

Presidential pardons are one of the dumbest powers. Change my mind.

(Plenty of more stable countries get on fine without it, and don’t have to deal with this nonsense to boot)

Old man yells at cloud these damn Americans using “ironic” when they mean “sarcastic”

I’d happily pay for search, but Kagi is way too expensive.

10 searches a day, for $5/month? (US)

Like, that is way too much.

I can receive thousands and send thousands of emails per day for that price. Is search really that much more expensive?

This is what I’m planning to do with some textbooks I want for my work.

$200-$300 and you want me to download an app that may or may not even work in 10 years?

Nah, I’m gonna future proof my access no remorse 🏴‍☠️

I will pay though, because it’s tax deductible, and also because it I ever get questioned on it (since I use them around coworkers and management), I’m golden.

I found this help article where they say “Although not all non-genuine supplies may cause quality issues”.

They said they recommend using theirs, but up until this they didn’t say you couldn’t.

Plus, it’s been universally understood that you have been able to use third-party cartridges. I really think if you’re persistent enough, you’d get a refund in Australia. Because else (in Victoria at least) you could take them to VCAT for like $70, which will cost them wayyy more in lawyer expenses than the price of a refund.

This is not legal advice, but I reckon a refund under Australian Consumer Law is extremely doable if they go down this path (for existing printers).

I’m curious how this will go down in Australia. Seems like a pretty solid slam dunk refund, oh the product doesn’t work as advertised anymore?

Cool, I’ve had this for 5 years and now I’d also like a full refund under Australian Consumer Law.

Motherfuckers.

(I don’t actually own a printer)

I wonder if they “Spanish” flu it all over again by claiming it started elsewhere.

You are underestimating how many people will give up at the slightest inconvenience.

I can tell you, when vigorously enforced, you can get the vast majority of a population to play within your walled garden (China, as an example).

Sweden however, yeah, unless they wanna go full internet firewall, not sure exactly how they plan on enforcing this.

AI can’t imagine an image full glass of wine because there are barely any images of that in any dataset out there. AI can’t think, just massage it’s dataset into something vaguely plausible.

It’s almost like this not-for-profit, for-profit subsidiary thing is a cancer (or at least, my selection bias of late thinks so).

Can someone ELI5 why a foundation can’t develop these products directly, with a for-profit subsidiary? Is there something forbidden about rasing revenue for a not-for-profit via product sales? Would this even fix anything?

Thanks for sharing, this is batshit insane. When you’re political ideology starts to run against reality, it’s a sign to adapt your ideology, not enforce a new “reality”.

As a leftist, modern communists with a hard-on for the Soviet Union baffle me. My comrades, they weren’t liberating the masses of the fraud of religion, they were just creating their own…

It’s all fun* and games until there’s human to human transmission.

(*Darwin award “fun”)

As someone who’s been to China a handful of times in recent years. No. None of the VPNs I’ve tried work any longer. Couldn’t tell you the technical reasons why, just that they just no longer work.

If the US decides to implement a great firewall, people who aren’t very software savvy are basically screwed.

Awwww yeaaah. Welcome friend, stay a while

This is fair, however, not ubiquitous and all their servers are expected to place nice with others.

Thank god email is federated, and not locked down to a particular company
