Yo! TIL, cool

counterpoint, learn nondestructive editing and you can use any image tool you want that supports it. IMO this is a far nore useful skill than investing time into one app that can’t even do nondestructive🥲

many such cases. good to call it out, and needs to happen more often and consistently as toxicity is the #1 barrier to the “year of the Linux desktop” in my experience

based design tastes ngl tho

it’s a counter culture movement! there’s no movement without a culture to counter i guess

i don’t think bubbles last 40+ years, i wouldn’t hold out for a change anytime soon :(

market researchers have figured this out several decades ago

and no the market hasn’t deflated so there’s your answer

as a relative outsider looking into this this is a profoundly bittersweet/wholesome story lol. almost akin to bill watterson. glad fans of his can know he’s okay 💙

Marketing is just mass manipulation and propaganda with a palatable name. :(

It’s all marketing. You likely only know that Dominos had the system patented because it slaps a big patent number right on the tracker. The fact that you’re discussing it is essentially free advertising and increases brand awareness. So, this post suggests that the investment in patent lawyers was likely worthwhile for the company.

Largely, consumers seem to derive the below listed perceptions when they recognize that a product is protected by a patent:

1. When a message about a product being protected by a patent is conveyed, the company as a whole is perceived to be innovative

2. The patented product is perceived to be superior

3. The patented product is perceived to be unique, as no one else can copy the patented product

(this is not a defense of any of these practices; simply indicating what is going on here)

genuine question: why call the police anyway? say the tesla driver was right and there was no compatibility. what were they thinking the rivian driver is gonna do? worst case scenario is they are gonna realize their mistake and… leave?

like how is this different from me seeing someone accidentally filling a minivan with diesel and calling the fucken cops about it? i feel there is something more malicious going on here than “a need for education” unless i am missing something.

i can’t and nor do i want to because my instance admin did me the blessed service of defederating threads ❤️

100% agree

those were fun times but how is that at all similar lmao

hate this take. can we stop calling normal, non-techie people idiots?

it’s like saying the safety on a gun was designed for babies and makes the FOSS community look toxic as fuck.

linux users when the windows sudo replica still values user security and uses uac and doesn’t just let you make changes to core system files because you happened to know a four letter command 👿👿👿👿

“it’s not an MBA thing, it’s a technical progress thing”

proceeds to describe how MBAs (Samsung marketers and business leaders) are doing this with technology

again with the acting like i disagree with you? lol

i don’t know why you worded your comment like we are in disagreement haha

samsung is forcibly inserting themselves into the chain of custody. in a world where cell phone video is finally spotlighting existing police brutality , the idea that my evidence could get thrown out because of some MBA’s idea of what constitutes a “real picture” is nightmarish.

bullshit positions like Samsung’s seem harmless till you see photographic evidence get challenged in court because the waters are already so muddied.

almost happened in the Rittenhouse case.

i am the one who yeets
