Except that FileZilla does come with bundled adware from their sponsors and they do want you to pay for the pro version. It probably is the shittiest GPL-licensed piece of software I can think of.

The sheer waste of energy and mass production of garbage clogging up search results alone is enough to make me hope the bubble will pop reeeeal soon. Sucks for research but honestly the bad far outweighs the good right now, it has to die.

OpenAI really captured the essence of “oh shit I didn’t study for this exam at all so I’ll just try and bullshit my way through it”

What about the Space Force?

You are making it sound like China and its large corporations weren’t also very interested in profits and market domination.

I find the political discourse, at least on some topics, very juvenile on Lemmy. You know, screeching about how billionaires aren’t people but parasites and need to die, hundreds of upvotes. That’s some edgy, frustrated teenager bullshit. Or at least it should be, guess some people never got the memo about inalienable rights, equal treatment, vigilantism and how two wrongs don’t make a right.

Seriously, this thirst for blood is disturbing and if it isn’t just venting then, well, look how the French Revolution turned on people. That wasn’t very poggers.

There’s also this idea that everybody who isn’t 100% on board needs to be defooed and marked, preferably as a fascist. Which plays into the hands of the actual fascists because the non-fascists hate each other too much to collectively tell them to fuck off, despite their differences.

There, that’s my venting done for today.

I hear the voice of the machine spirit!

It’s almost like marketing makes it sound like it’s a fully-managed, worry-free service where users can just call up Bill Gates himself instead of hundreds of management portals someone has to babysit.

I got one, even though they must know that I’m not a US resident. Hope the people who didn’t leave at least aren’t dumb enough to give them money. “Special program” bullshit reads like a scam mail.

Heck, the good king being kept in the dark by his evil underlings is a really old trope too.

Same thing in Germany, literally “if only the Führer knew!”
