We who take Aaron’s side

We are in the right, so we don’t have to obscure facts.

Yeah, when I created my Lemmy account I had to choose an instance before knowing anything about Lemmy yet. And .ml seemed like the default one to choose, given https://join-lemmy.org/ told me it is ran by the devs.

Oh well.

I sometimes find a small seed in seedless watermelons.

Since it’s end to end encrypted, Ente just sees some raw bytes, it has no way to tell if what you uploaded is an image or not. So in practice it supports whatever the client can display, so your browser for the web version.

Probably. Extrinsic vs intrinsic motivation.

I spend hours toiling at work, then I finish work and switch to my hobby project, on the same desk/peripherals (KVM switch), same IDE and same tech stack, and work on it full of energy and finding it fun.

I have no clue why this works for me.

What’s a realistic reply to “oh my God, I’m so sorry!” if you are pretending you got that out of the blue without any context?

I’d assume someone close to me died and I don’t know about it.

Yeah that looks worse

If either of you opened the article, you would know you are correct. There is a picture in the article, the ad is a static banner next to the paused video.

Google probably only spent months researching this and they only have all the tracking and user studies to know what you said. Please ignore the obvious fact that you are looking at the screen when you are pausing or resuming a video, KingJalopy knows better and Google is just dumb. Nobody will see any of these ads and they are adding them in vain.

No one said they are unpaid or have zero qualifications either.

You live in a fantasy world if you think it’s possible to catch 100% of mistakes internally. Even safety critical equipment with many layers of checks fails and kills people every now and then (medical equipment, bridges).

I confirmed you made it up and can’t link a source.

Fair enough. Still commendable for taking the heat himself without ever mentioning which employee made the mistake with misallocating the review item to the charity auction.

Source on “he’s ok with ad blocking as long as it’s not done to him”? Doesn’t sound like something he’d say.

Doubled down? After being called out they slowed the upload cadence, are taking more time to make sure mistakes don’t get through, and changed their production process. They also formed a volunteer team of “beta tester” viewers who see each video pre-release to catch any mistakes they didn’t internally. I think they handled it well. Of course it would be better if they didn’t have a problem in the first place, but I’d never call it “doubling down”.

Yeah, with lots of leaked customer data. Nothing about using voice data to make a marketing profile. Unless there is a second leak I don’t know about.

But judging by your inability to link it you just made it up.

Yep

Yes, it was secret in the sense they didn’t want their competitors knowing about it.

It wasn’t secret to people who were invited and signed up for the program.
