Do they think they'll get more back from selling people's data than they'll have lost in sales?
Yes
I see you're describing a case-by-case basis, but I'm still failing to see how it's case-by-case. /s
Enshitification. Private equity buys up everything, squeezes it for all its worth, forces it to lose all its customers, and then sells off all remaining physical assets (land, buildings).
Look behind the downfall of most big country wide names and you'll see a private equity firm running this same playbook right around the time they started losing quality.
They think they own most of the guns because they've built a whole culture around it. What they don't realize is there are plenty of non-Rs who own guns too as a hobby or protection, but their whole identity isn't "I'm a gun owner" so they don't go around hoopin' and hollarin' that they own guns.
Agreed. I thought the movie was a great addition to the Mad Max films. As others have pointed out, some of the CGI was lacking, but other than that it was extremely enjoyable and well paced.
We ultimately don't know what is going to survive the digital revolution. I wonder what's going to be lost to time and what historians and archeologists will be able to recover and view centuries or millennia in the future.
Between this and the study of whale language, are we on the precipice of actually being able to have a rudimentary conversation with another intelligent species on the planet?
To the top with you! I see some opinions quoted, but yours is the right answer.
Background CGI for ensuring consistency and immersion is what CGI excels at. Human-based CGI still has the uncanny valley. I loved Furiosa, but you can easily tell when they had CGI humans for stunts.
It's just another tool and directors need to choose the appropriate time to use it and when not to.
Does ActivityPub report back bans to the user's home instance? I could see a moderation tool that let the admin autoban their users if enough federated instances had banned them.
I always report. However, I heard that the report only goes to the admin of your instance. Maybe future releases will support cross instance reporting and the ability for admins to "trust" bans by admins from other instances.
Here's one: https://kbin.social/m/random/t/1060795 I always see them popping up under random@kbin.social
Bots are already proliferating the fediverse. Kbin is constantly spammed with "buy online drugs here" links. Transparent bots (those that are tagged as bots) try to boost engagement by reposting things from Reddit, but are still perpetuating one of the worst aspects of reddit even if they're being upfront about it. AI generated articles posted on obvious junk websites are constantly being spammed by the same accounts.
It's a difficult problem to solve.
and in a stunning failure of corporate communication
This is my main takeaway from this situation. Seems like the casino knew it was getting a deal too good to be true and CF went straight to strong arm tactics instead of inviting the other side to the table to discuss the issue and find a way forward that's good for both parties.
OP has been spamming this website for a few weeks now. It's nothing by click bait, AI generated garbage.
The part I have a hard time wrapping my head around is the fact that we all saw this coming for the last 4 years, and yet here we are...
I hope/choose to believe that the reason we're here is that those leading the charge in our justice system knew they not only had to have an airtight case, but it also had to slowly tear him down and erode his support.
There are plenty of leaders throughout history who were exiled, deposed, or voted out only to come back stronger than ever. By taking an extremely methodical approach to all of the legal challenges against Trump, they've forced him to spend the majority of his time, energy, and money on those battles.
As always, time will tell...
