pennybanks··on No One Knows What Universities Are For
but this is a very natural evolution though right?

i mean i dont know if its indeed recent or not i feel like maybe it just is what the market is demanding.

maybe the market didnt require to be education to make a living wage back then. and maybe now it does thus the race.

i mean you cant tell people not to get educated or moreso not to make as much money as you can right.

pennybanks··on Vanguard just went live and LoL players are claiming it's bricking their PCs
lol players never complain about cheaters and they complain about everything. like every little thing. they complain a lot about smurfs though. actually they do complain about some botting which iv seen as well. not sure if bot or human bot but they are there at the lowest levels trying to speed level to 30 and sell accounts. but i mean everyone at that level are people starting a new alt account and just play/afk fun modes til level 30

im sure its because riot and moderators are cleaning up any mentions of vangaurd in a negative light. but im sure its also because people just really dont care but the amount a push back, complaining, whining etc about vangaurd from the lol community is interesting in how quite its been. just because that community are master complainers and do it almost as sport. limit testing on how insignificant something can be and have the whole community up and arms. especially about skins or balance.
pennybanks··on YouTube's Legal Team sent me a letter [video]
childish is a good way to describe how he and many people think when it comes to companies. the smartest people will just refuse to use any logical thinking and display extreme bias.

pennybanks··on ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say
think it sets a shitty precedent that anyone from any country and distribute whatever weird product they want to and as long as people want it. if it isnt addressed.

maybe i would think differently if it wasnt banned everywhere else. and china didnt ban every western tech company.

isis recruitment apps, wholesale fent stright from china apps. whatever its my right! going against something blindly just because you want the freedom to do it whether or not you will is odd no? shouldnt you use context.

its not that they dont care, they care a lot. chinese way of thinking is if you know how its made/how it works you can always make more, make another. no company is above the govt, china.
pennybanks··on AI Is Smoke and Mirrors
but i think that point of view is important for 99% of people that will use AI. since most of them will be potential consumers and the more you can hype and mislead the better for some looking to take advantage. i mean im seeing it with every new startup or company now and im not even that super knowledgeable but numbers do not look correct at all. everyone lives in the "business world"
pennybanks··on $10M says we won't see human-superior AGI by the end of 2025
ima guess most billionaires are narcissists. and this media oxygen stuff i mean it works right. to do able to get attention of the press and that many people is a only reserved for a very small amount of people on this earth.
pennybanks··on Reddit CEO defends $193M compensation following backlash from unpaid moderators
what would a for profit sub look like? paid entry? a specialized market place that takes commission? wouldnt it just be like fb marketplace if they did create a sub with profit in mind?
pennybanks··on Reddit CEO defends $193M compensation following backlash from unpaid moderators
forsure. I think it was like top 3 recently. i dont know if the numbers came out but the deal with google to let them use data to train their AI had to be a pretty penny tho.
pennybanks··on Firefox on the brink?
i assume instead of google outright purchasing the company due to monopoly issues and internet outrage, they instead are just doing what they are doing now. thought i read they are up to 90% funded by google.. so its a little silly how these browser warriors champion their precious firefox or whatever other browser and condemn the evil chrome. but if you think about it they are all basically chrome developers. building ontop of chromium or working on firefox where those devs and chromes collab.

but in my opinion that isnt the reason google keeps firefox funded. i just think they do it for goodness sakes and not to cannibalize the only "competition". it really wasnt too long ago when it was chrome and firefox the two sleek awesome browsers saving the internet from nasty slow internet explorer.

pennybanks··on Report Phone Spam – Shut down robocallers and text spammers
ya but now they are the racist carrier. racism hunts. witch hunts. in the far future these 2 events will look no different
pennybanks··on Choose the browser that best suits your privacy needs
well i guess you can say spyware but piece of crap is probably not accurate. i mean its got the most features by far and seemingly has the most resources and manpower being dedicated for development and upgrade. crap is not so accurate.

also because a company uses a lot of tracking on their product doesnt make them an AD company lol.

but lets not get it twisted every browser is technically spyware thats the business of web browsers... i mean brave is to me the most deceitful. for one a VPN that installs background processes for windows users even if you dont want it. reinstalls on updates. and you know how much brave loves to force those background updaters on you. https://www.ghacks.net/2023/10/18/brave-is-installing-vpn-se... https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/33726

or how the most popular browser privacy test is run by a brave employee.. hmm guess which browser scores the highest and a favorable testing environment with the settings https://privacytests.org/ he eventually disclosed his employer in the back area of that website somewhere so thats better i guess.

another one is how certain settings on brave search always reverts back on. or just one the send analytics one. if you use search on a different browser not their own. and etc.

and firefox is funded in large part by google.. do you really think they dont share information?

honestly acting like your browser is superior because no tracking is so silly lol. just use whatever browser you want and tune settings to your liking. harden if you must and move on. is it that much of a hassel? would you rather pay subscription for no tracking? youll never not be tracked by ads on a free model its too much incentive and the internet is too controlled. you know when you use these product you pay with your privacy and ads its honestly a great deal. at least for me and probably most of the users. imagine paying monthly for edge having time limit package tiers, having to buy packs of google searches, websites have a entrance fee if they dont sell products.

btw im on thorium on linux i dont have a edge/microsoft bias. nor am i some shill for big companies i tend to use alternatives. but im not a sucker anymore for the illusion of privacy nor am i a big company fear monger.

oh ya also who said they are banning ubo?
