I resolved to never give Epic a dime when I got a popup forcing me to agree to a binding arbitration agreement in order to launch games I already have installed and in my library. It tells me that they think people will have good reasons to sue them in the future.
All I’m trying to say is that they’re not necessarily doing the same thing now that they were back then. They’d have a strong motivator to be better than google nowadays instead of just copying their results because google’s results suck now.
This is funny, but it was also 13 years ago. A lot can change in that time. I don’t personally use Bing though, so I don’t have firsthand experience either way.
Oh yeah, I hate sites that do that.
I’ve had some sites bug out on Firefox that I’m pretty sure weren’t really related to Google or Microsoft in any way. I still use Firefox obviously, but it’s annoying.
It’s definitely gotten a lot worse within the past year or two.
I’ve noticed an increase in posts on reddit that follow the format of:
It’s very sus, especially considering the amount of blatant repost/comment-stealing karma farm bots.
It’s illegal not to disclose when something is paid promotion. Worst case scenario, the ad blocker blacks out your screen while it detects the ad notification and auto skips when it can. We’ll never actually be forced to watch the ads.
Idk the context of whatever the complaint is, but I just want to point out that people’s noses always look way bigger when you take closeup photos of them. It’s because the nose protrudes out from the face, so from a normal distance it’s just a little bit closer to the camera, but from close up the proportional distance difference and therefore apparent visual size of the nose is massive. If your nose looks big in a photo, re-take it from further away.
Oh yeah, maybe it was a package deal and they only really cared about the training data.
I don’t get why Google would agree to pay for anything. Google can survive without Reddit, but Reddit would be hurt without Google and would eventually be forced to give in. Where’s that corporate greed when you need it?
This is unironically the answer. You can’t make a general-purpose captcha solver AI if every website or group of websites uses a completely different kind of captcha.
It also means that people with no friends already using it simply can’t join. Big oof for them.
Invitation only services are bad.
That’s an absurd hurdle for accessing an online service. I guess I shouldn’t expect people on the fediverse to understand, considering the barriers to entry it has.
That sounds infeasible in the real world. 90% of the population isn’t even going to understand a system like that, much less be willing to use it.
Like, she admitted to it? Not calling you a liar, just trying to imagine how you’d go about proving that something didn’t happen.
Why do you feel the need to make such statements regarding the motivation without any source or evidence to back them up?
It doesn’t count if it costs money, which mail does.
