It feels like such a solution in search of a problem, why would I need wireless earbuds for possibly the single device I own that, if I'm using it, will never be more than wire-length away from my ears, it's literally either in my hand or in my pocket

Changing your search engine doesn't stop Google from controlling 80% of Mozilla's revenue or almost the entirety of the rest of the browser space
I just don't like that we're relying on the goodwill (or need for token "competition" to try to avoid antitrust) of Google for Mozilla to stick around, an ad company shouldn't be de facto controlling almost every single browser
I've always been curious how many lines of code in Chromium and Firefox are from salaried software engineers, and how many are from community contributions
The problem with the buildout of Chinese high speed rail, that the US won't really have should it start investing into it, is that China already had a very robust passenger rail system
They WAY overbuilt their high speed system, and now tons of lines are hemorrhaging money because people are opting for the slower, but significantly cheaper, traditional rail system that the high speed one has to compete against
Canada is closer to the EU than the island of Great Britain is
Arguing with someone, within the confines of the marketplace of ideas, about how the marketplace of ideas should be abolished, is a fools errand
If they refuse to even agree to the basic social ground rules of discourse whatever they have to say isn't even worth entertaining
Every single one of your upvotes on lemmy is already public due to how the protocol works, it's just currently obscured by a bit of work to get them (have to run your own instance, assuming there already isn't some online tool to easily look them up)
Making them publicly and easily visible would only remove the illusion of privacy we currently have, not actually make your upvote logs less secured in any way
I tried that but it doesn't run very well on the Pentium II
We already had first Microsoft anti-trust suit, but what about second Microsoft anti-trust suit?
Depending on how important these large language models end up being to society, I'd rather everyone be able to freely use copyrighted works to train them, rather than reserve their use solely for the corporations rich enough to pay for the licensing or lucky enough to already have the rights to a trove of source material
OpenAI losing this battle is how we ensure that the only people that can legally train these things are the Microsofts, Googles, and the Adobes of the world so, bizarrely, as much as I think OpenAI has turned into greedy corpo scum, I feel compelled to side with them here
