Technology@lemmy.world•One year after being bought for $44 billion, X is worth $19 billionEnglish
38·2 years agoHadn’t it already massively dropped in value before the purchase was finalized, and that’s why he wanted to back out? How is everybody overlooking that?

Technology@lemmy.world•Sundar Pichai argues in court that Google isn’t evil, it’s just a businessEnglish
670·2 years agoLol, how simplistic do you have to be to believe this means anything? First off, you need to believe in good and evil, which are completely arbitrary. And do you think they thought “hmm, we need to start doing evil things do extract more profit… Change the motto so everybody knows! But then we’ll pretend to not be evil when confronted about this change…”
Maybe being evil would be to not change the motto and start doing evil acts anyway. Simpler answer is that somebody probably thought it was a stupid thing to have on there in the first place, and was likely thought up by a Cheeto stained LOTR neckbeard.

World News@lemmy.world•Sunak proposes raising smoking age every year to create 'smoke-free' generationEnglish
5·2 years agoOf course. Why else would a billionaire want the job of leading a country?

33·2 years agoCalling him smooth brained is looking past the fact that it’s just plain corruption. He has interests in the oil industry, and they are against public rail. Hold him to account for what he is, a criminal.

Technology@lemmy.world•The Firefox browser now has a built-in page translator that works even without the InternetEnglish
72·2 years agoI could never find any that worked well, and the translations in chrome were too good.

Technology@lemmy.world•The Firefox browser now has a built-in page translator that works even without the InternetEnglish
231·2 years agoThis is a game changer for me. I always loved Firefox and tried to use it exclusively, but living in a foreign country is hard when you’re learning the language, and I had to switch to chrome sometimes due to the lack of translation in Firefox. Now I can finally remove Chrome!

Technology@lemmy.world•Google Podcasts to shut down in 2024 with listeners migrated to YouTube MusicEnglish
31·2 years agoIt’s more the principal that Google doesn’t care about their ecosystem or users. There would be uproar if Apple killed their podcasts app, since it has been around for so long. But Android users are just used to this shit now.

7·2 years agoWhat an awesome app. Really, it’s unusual to see an open source app be so polished. Thanks for the recommendation.

1003·2 years agoThis is why Google will forever be behind Apple. Any app that can’t be monetised gets killed. Why give Android users a stable ecosystem after all? Fuck the users. Google fucking sucks.

4·3 years agoExactly. Though usually once somebody does, that’s when the authorities get involved.

149·3 years agoGood. There are people out there who ruin all the nice things. Just host your own damn server and download your own content like a normal person.

World News@lemmy.world•We just hit 1.5 C above per-industrial levels for the first time.English
76·3 years agoWell the guy acts surprised, like nobody has seen this coming for 50+ years and especially the last 20 years. Put some thought into having children before you do. If more people did, we wouldn’t be as deep in the shit as we are today. And people are allowed to criticise other poeple for having kids when they shouldn’t.

3427·3 years agoWhy did you choose to have kids knowing what kind of future they would have? This is the reason I didn’t, and also to reduce my footprint in the world. I mean even 20 years ago, it was obvious nothing was going to change. So I don’t know why somebody would willingly have children these days.
Why are the memes on Lemmy so bad? Am I just past it?

Technology@lemmy.world•Should I use chromium based browsers or firefox?English
2·3 years agoNice!


That would require bravery from a lot of people. Few have been as brave as Navalni. Let’s hope his death shakes people’s apathy.
