How do you how shitty it is or not? Have you examined their code? Do you trust them blindly to let them run arbitrary code on your device? They are preferring to shove their app into our devices for many many reasons that non of them are for our benefit.

And uninstalling right after is closing the gate after the horses are long gone

Edit typos

What a sane person would want to install a shitty carrier app just for that? There should be a way to do it via their web ui in the least

Reminds me of the ‘joke’ where a secretary goes into her bosses’ office with a high stack of résumés, puts it on his desk. He then randomly takes half a pile and throws it in the garbage. The secretary, surprised and a bit shocked, asks him why did you do that for? Those are perfectly good résumés. To which he replies I don’t hire unlucky people.

I think that was op of the top comment here said - that they post it for everyone, without expecting a profit, for people to enjoy. But scummy actors are using their art to gain profit in immoral methods.

To bring the 2 points together - once something is online(fully agree with what you said) bad actors will inevitably use it to gain profit and commoditize it.

Totally, although the thing is I bet one day tvs will come with a built in sim card, or worst yet will disable themselves until there’s an active internet connection or some other scummy method

I always felt that there’s something deeply broken about people who enjoy doing dishes

How will that work? Will they cover the subscription fee for the sim anywhere in the world? Or do you mean the fridge owners will cover it?

“Smart” fridges are the dumbest shit ever; given that, pi hole or some ad blocking DNS? Block access to Samsung servers?

Don’t understand people who are willing to let all that data pass through 3rd party servers

he green dawg

I’ve seen and heard some fucked up shit in my life but damn tech and ai just keep giving some novel sadistic shit each fucking day.

Its slavery.

Fifty-two percent of surveyed workers believe they are training AI to replace other workers’ jobs, and 36% believe they are training AI to replace their own jobs. 74% were concerned about AI’s contribution to the spread of disinformation, 54% concerned about surveillance, and 47% concerned about the use of AI to suppress free speech, among other issues.

Medidwhy do we allow this to happen just that some sadistic fucks would get richer?

Yeah you’re probably right and I’m wrong, my hate of israel got the better of me

Yummm tatses like hasbara propaganda

Yes, but mostly their shitty pathetic parents

Perfection

Seems people started communicating with selfies so fucking weird

Mood

A puffer fish right?

Religion and fiat are always at the top

1.indeed you do. Still it is advised to think before speaking. 2.I said nothing about “micro”. It sounds like you have great expertise in this area and clearly know how it all works so kudos you won 🥳

You won’t be able to do none of that, cause none of it is yours. If anything, I feel like I’m overestimating you just by having this discussion. Not clear to me why you feel so entitled to the products of others. You are a gamer, it is barly a hobby.

I agree with most of what you said,.

On the other hand -

1. If you don’t like their approach, stop buying their games.
2. Servers today are much more complex than what they were 25 years ago, and making them in such a way to any idiot could run on their laptop requires substantial effort. I can see how it might not be financially feasible for every company to do. Relaaing the server software will introduce a whole new category of issues that the company will need to face. Shipping a stack of 20 independent services that are orchestrated together is not a single binary, and is not meant to run on any platform.
