When a company is using AI in place of a person, it's not a sign of that they are "futuristic" or "forward-thinking..." It's a sign they are cheap, chase fads, and make short-sighted decisions that are not designed to improve their relationship with their customer.
Anyone using some headless white-label monthly subscription version of ChatGPT in an attempt to save a nickel on their bottom line - even if it means making everything worse for the company, product, employees, and customers in every way possible - is probably someone you don't want to do ANY kind of business with - whether you're a contractor, customer, or client.
Except FOSS. Because if you can fork it, it cannot be enshittified… every time they attempt to, another fork can be made.
Favorite video about Pete is from Some More News back a few years ago just before Pete helped Biden consolidate all the fragmented neoliberal support he needed to suddenly turn the tide right before Super Tuesday that was otherwise resulting in Sanders gaining ground.
Pete is a weasel… a well-spoken one and perhaps once a decent dude… and even an ally in our country’s current dark moments… but Pete is NOT fit to lead when the left has a chance at any sort of power.
He will sell us all out for the rich donors who showed up for his wine cave campaign fundraiser. And trading Main Street voters for Wall Street voters is what REALLY has been what most helped Republicans win… at least since at least Reagan’s era.
I don't care what format someone uses as long as software I use supports it. I'd rather save as much bandwidth and support as many features as possible. Animated GIFs and JPEGs are literally ancient formats from the 90s at this point that are terribly optimized and so limited in their feature support. I want 120fps HDR animated images that can be bigger than 640x480 without playback being choppy and the file size being over 200MB.
Maybe I should start like a service where we get someone like a dedicated “agent” who has their assets hidden to buy tickets for you for a small fee… and then transfer them… like an agency… for travel…
WAIT a second 😱!
I know everyone who recognizes this super in-joke is like over 40. 🤣
True that no matter what - Phil IS a CEO, which means he's not a good dude... but I guess I just look at it as shades of gray.
I think Microsoft decided it doesn't want to do ANY kind of hardware, because of how poorly they did both in the X era, and in international markets like Japan...
And like you said - if Xbox becomes a brand rather than an actual piece of hardware, then there's no reason to buy an Xbox. I had a 360 starting right before Halo 3 came out in 2007, but with every single one of their games being fully multi-platform with ZERO exclusives I never had a reason to get any of their systems after my original Elite.
