I wonder though why they’ve been making losses for years - probably because of all the acquisitions? Looks like they were just another “grow now, revenue later” company that is now too big to be able to afford itself

… to the franchisees 🙄 To everyone else though, we’ll get a livable wage.

And let’s be honest, this devastating financial blow they speak of probably just means 1 less yacht for them.

But why do they want to charge based on usage? Their users are already subscribed. It’s not like they run cloud services or anything. There is literally no cost to them except for the self imposed analytics stuff.

I don’t fully understand why they need to do this. What is the cost of their service? Using the tool is already a subscription service, what else do they want? It’s not like they have cloud services. They just want free money I guess?

I really cannot wait until millenials and GenZ grow older take over the world. The youth of today are just so much smarter than us, and I feel like they are more exposed to internet media that they aren’t easily influenced. I just hope there is enough of the world left for them after we are done with it.

I agree, I think a good compromise like school owned, locked down devices would still achieve the same thing

A calligraphy test is not irrelevant if you are studying to LEARN calligraphy. If you are arguing that calligraphy as a subject doesnt need to exist then fine then don’t study it. But you don’t learn it by asking AI to do it for you.

That’s a very good point re: privacy. ARKit does work really well for scene detection like the room shapes, plane detection stuff etc but I was mostly thinking about the VisionKit stuff too (not the VisionOS ones) wheee you want to be smart about things. E.g. if you want to be able to detect text in mixed reality (like real time translation) or if you want to recognize objects not just by their shape.

It is going to be a privacy nightmare I agree but it is also severely limiting the possibilities of the software right now

Was eading up on the use cases for this, one of the big ones is mixed or augmented reality. But they don’t give developers access to the cameras yet. There isn’t really much you can do with it outsode of games like the Oculus but they aren’t marketing it as such.

Australia has such great potential as a fight destination but the home cooking is just blatant every single time

Ruud >>> Spez

Lol I just remembered Elon’s tweet that led to him firing an Android dev. Who’s doing poorly batched remote procedure calls again? 😂

Lemmy has been great hasn’t it? It’s not as big but the content feels more meaningful.

Boost was my go-to and I’m waiting for the new one for Lemmy. But jerboa has been doing the job for me so far. Especially the newer versionsB

It’s so great to see. Just proves what everyone was saying all along. Communities are built by the people that participate in them, and not the tools. Get rid of those tools and we’ll find other ones.

Same here - sometimes I fire it up just to do some hunting and fishing

Great recommendation on Euro Truck Simulator. I didn’t think I’d like it either but it is great fun especially for the limited time I have to play games nowadays

I’m thinking about setting up an instance but am worried about costs - can anyone share any information on how much it has cost them so far? Especially the bigger instances, since usage might spike after the Reddit changes kick in, and I’m worried about suddenly getting a huge bill
