The town square shouldn’t have regional muzzles as a feature.

overseeing product development for Facebook Video

So she’s the one who oversaw the misleading Facebook Video numbers that destroyed or maimed a whole swath of websites?

Turns out Umbrella Corp was an AI company that pivoted?

Shareholders

“If you let me do this, I promise ai will invent a cure for asthma.”

“We need fewer regulations and more money so we can bring about AI gods that will cure all diseases and fix climate change.”

“We will boil the planet to the edge of survivability and at the last moment, a super intelligence will be born that knows how to fix it all and return our planet to normal.”

Yeah, and doing it on platform/in context means lower friction too. And sometimes has perks only available that way.

Interesting. AFAIK YouTube takes a 30% cut on donations.

Twitch takes 50% of subs.

Sounds like the self hosted person is the only one who actually made an improvement?

I might be out of date on my numbers.

Fair point.

So how many quit? Can you name them? Where did they move to?

No browser UI to get in the way? Is it really that difficult to manage?

I was ready to say “I don’t get it, is this just a fat shaming joke?” And then I thought about it more.

How many years until prices go up? I bet they marked down 1-2 years where they realize they can’t up the prices. But after, it will creep up.

Yeah, a fraction of a cent per customer is double dipping. w/e

Is a single beer for a corgi like a six pack for a gamer?

Interesting point. Then you understand why Apple is making moves to try to be a real player in gaming.

All three of us see how gaming performance is plateauing across various hardware types to the point that a modern game can run on a wide range of hardware. With settings changes to scale across the hardware, of course.

Or are you going to be a bummer and claim it’s only mini pcs that get this benefit. Not consoles, not VR headsets, not macs, not Linux laptops.

There really is a situation going on where there is a large body of hardware in a similar place on the performance curve in a way that wasn’t always true in the past. Historically, major performance gains were made every few years. And various platforms were on very different and less interoperable hardware architectures, etc.

The Steam Deck’s success proves my point, and your point alone.

The thing is, people don’t wanna hear it. They wanna focus on the very high end. Or super high refresh rates. Or they wanna complain about library sizes.

That’s not at all what I was getting at. My point is the people claiming this is the worst they have seen have a limited point of view and should cast their gaze further across the industry, across social media.

Right. Subs like these are great fodder for people who just like to make shit up.

I’m sure there are individuals doing worse one off shit, or people targeting individuals.

I’m sure Facebook has run multiple algorithm experiments that are worse.

I’m sure YouTube has caused worse real world outcomes with the rabbit holes their algorithm use to promote. (And they have never found a way to completely fix the rabbit hole problems without destroying the usefulness of the algorithm completely.)

The actions described in this article are upsetting and disappointing, but this has been going on for a long time. All in the name of making money.

I’ve never had a cat that is into catnip, but I had one that was into black olives.

They would come running from the farthest parts of the house if a can was opened, and they would only play with the olives and rarely eat much of them.
