Yeah, that’s the wrong word. “Extracted” or “looted” or “stole” are all more appropriate.

Depends on a number of factors. A ton of companies have moved to web based tools for a big chunk of their workforce. If those web apps are more or less standards-compliant you could pull it off with minimal retraining.
I want to be a mouse rabble rouser building mouse-scale guillotines.
This reads a lot like nuance trolling. The “mystery” seems extremely one-dimensional: most fans aren’t “pay a ridiculous amount to see a band from a half-mile away” fans.
The headline is missing “again.” Chiquita, AKA the United Fruit Company, has been abusing Latin American nations for the entire time it has existed.
If it’s “use my name a likeness, maybe my voice work,” I’m not mad, it’s people paying to do stuff the devs would need to pay someone else to do instead. If it’s “I have some ideas how this story should go” I’d be a bit more concerned.
Very cool that the Minneapolis PD I’d just outsourcing forensics to <checks notes> discount retailer Target?
What’s next, the state of Arkansas outsourcing public education to Walmart?
I suspected as much. This kind of thing doesn’t materialize from nowhere.
That was my exact thought. I wonder how long they’d been doing this prior to October 7.
I love the “you’d have to plant trees everywhere therefore it’s not possible” logic. As if silviculture/silvipasture were not possible. As if we couldn’t take vacant properties and plant there.
A lot of content sites have altered how they write articles to be in line with google SEO to drive traffic. In doing this, the content that can be found by any search engine is now of lower quality.
I don’t like the headline. Musk is scum, but the Internet is responsible for this. If Google’s loony “internet on balloons” project had scaled up, it’s just as likely these Amazon tribes would be using that service to turn into porn-and-social-media addicts.
The problem is that a fuckton of the web is SEO poisoned, so even a better search engine will find garbage because for a lot of subjects garbage is all that’s available.
The best chef in the world can’t turn shit into anything you want to eat.
Even better if you could build your own room in Roblox and arrange furniture until you figured out what pieces you wanted and where to put them.
Or, you know, a school. You know, where there are children? Maybe children who have physical limitations who have been called gimps?
Oh well, who cares about the educational environment and getting kids exposed to FOSS options instead of commercial software?
It was always private equity. It’s amazing how effective owning the press is when you want to blame something nebulous like a generation of people rather than admitting to just squeezing every drop of money out of companies you took over.
“Private Equity Firm [NAME] is Ruining [INDUSTRY]” is going to be an accurate headline every time we see it.
Materially supporting a fascist isn’t nothing.
I read this headline and my first thought is that someone will use it to depict a celebrity or politician in a porn or gore (or both) context. That’s my reason for being against it.
The “THIS IS A DEEPFAKE VOICE” label really helps human brains tell that it’s a deepfake voice.
