Surely people see this for what it is, a censorship mechanism that relies on people's laziness and preference for convenience for effectiveness.

Even if Apple Intelligence were good, why would anyone in their right mind allow a middleman to interfere with their ability to communicate with others?

It subordinates all creative output to the priorities of advertising. On Lemmy (in fact any web forum) I'm a member and a discussion participant. I don't 'make content' for it - it suggests the only value in my posting to a Lemmy is to 'attract eyeballs'.

The ability to dress and chisel marble and have your creations still talked about half a millennia later, and being the most recognizable singer on the planet, aren't fungible.

Has Lemmy ever noticed how much the Anglophone web speaks like advertisers now?

I'm off to Youtube now to watch some content. Gotta get that new content! Thanks to modern networking technologies I'll never run out of content! Does the non-English web do the same? Are the French and Russians and Chinese similarly indoctrinated?

Let's rewrite some Wikipedia entry intros to see our adopted term work its wonders:

Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni[a] (6 March 1475 – 18 February 1564), known mononymously as Michelangelo,[b][1] was an Italian content creator of the High Renaissance.`

Eric Arthur Blair (25 June 1903 – 21 January 1950) was an English content creator who wrote content under the pen name of George Orwell.[2][3]

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American content creator. Dubbed the "King of Content", he is regarded as one of the most significant figures of the 20th century. Over a four-decade career, his content broke racial barriers in America and made him a global figure. Through content, he proliferated visual performance for artists in popular music; popularizing content including the moonwalk (which he named), the robot, and the anti-gravity lean. Jackson is often deemed the greatest content creator of all time based on his content and subscribers.[1]

After watching Content on Youtube I'll probably visit the zoo to marvel at the meat. Then later I might load Pornhub and watch some meat. By then it'll be time for some dinner, so the butcher will fix me up with some meat.

This language demeans all creative endeavour. It trashes our ability to communicate. When read out loud it's infantilising too.

Murdoch media

You're mistaking the tool for the wielder. It's not some stuffy mastheads deciding Australia will remain a cheap quarry, it's capital deciding.

For the same reason captive animals die quickly in the wild; the same reason Mozilla fixates on its social justice campaigns and pays its CEO millions while presiding over a collapse in market share. When the basis of your ability to survive is guaranteed, you get lazy. Malfeasance grows like mould. There's no need for prudent capital management when your competition is eliminated by government dictat. The tiger gets fed by the zookeepers, its teeth can go blunt.

The management layer is notoriously shit in casinos. Governments literally babysit them by appointing people to senior management when it gets particularly bad (ie. when even the public pegs the real object of casinos: bringing offshore money into the country to help government fund itself).

Your video is in violation of the Community Guidelines

This comms near-constant links to media coverage of what the Empire is up to. I'd like to see some information about what the Alliance is doing about it, so I can work out who to fund and raise awareness for. How organized is the Euro equivalent of the EFF? The Can/Aus equivalent?

This whole thread is a Reddit-style two minutes' hate session that gets pissy about the language of his post without addressing the content.

Eich is right to be wary of US Intelligence infiltration of the non-profit sector, and his characterization of the sector's hiring preferences is probably accurate.

Also the image presented by the glowies concept is hilarious, and demonstrates again why the Right memes better than the Left.

The term to use is filsharing

because you know servers don't need that shit.

No. Dead wrong. It's precisely the frontline staff who need customer feedback, and if makes them uncomfortable then so much the better.

It's the rank and file's job to pass criticism of the service offering on in team meetings, culture surveys, etc. My job sucks this week because I have to do x and yet the customers all hate it. Staff will drive change to policy when it's their ears copping the response day-to-day.

'I couldn't possibly bother the floor person' is code for 'I am going to tolerate in silence any corporate policy no matter how obnoxious', and line management and the executive know it.

The world is a cruel place, for I am a dog person

Tried asking on the comm's Signal chat?

Paywalls are a tacit admission that the business model is dreadful.

If an Israeli can do her grocery shopping and carry an M16 on her back, Aisha from the Strip can play with Mittens and keep sentry.

What I've learned over the last few years:

• Only academics, commentators and researchers truly care about collective security, where the whole world gains because certain technology and is commonly agreed to be off-the-table
• Everyone else (that is, corporations including government and private enterprise) only cares about zero-sum security - your insecurity is my security gain - but they pretend in their messaging to care about collective security. It explains why nation states continue to demand purpose-built backdoors into hardware and encryption implementations, and why employers are content to treat your mobile phone like their own property, demanding apps, RATs, etc. be installed
• Most cybersecurity is thinly-veiled compliance, and amounts to certified bureaucrats implementing products from that small bunch of vendors with the means to influence policymaking
• The public messaging around security always uses the noun in the abstract, which to me is telling. Security for whom? Security against what? Security for what? See also social media and the term "safety".

Don't worry, I remember this. Would love to see a torrent sometime

Rare Google software W, regardless of the real impetus.

BHM, Pride Week, Cyber Monday, Black Friday, Heritage Day, International Week of the $thing, etc. is just corporate giving its marketers a reason to sign in each morning.

Badda Bing Badda Bang is the best holodeck episode and a DS9 top-ten, and its central conceit has made it more relevant than ever, now there's a common recognition of the value and significance we derive from virtual worlds, and our habit of anthropomorphizing LLMs.

NASA has to interpret the boss's demands. Like every other US public org they're looking for anonymity by being center of the pack.

If you concede your powerlessness, why would you issue them in the first place? I'm reminded of signage in workplace kitchens, requesting that people wipe benches and ensure dishes aren't left in the sink - a conscientious worker will follow it in nearly all cases (either by accident or deliberation), but it's pointless when in front of a careless worker.
