Most major streamers tried to follow the Netflix model where they had enough for everyone in order to justify its subscription. It may be better if the major companies broke up their subscriptions so people can subscribe to far less content.

They are still a union protected job on construction sites and the docks in NYC.

I’m not surprised. Google wants people to use this and making customizable bands available near cost is a good way to push adoption.

France is the only country I’ve been to in Europe that does a good job providing water.

It depends on the tourist place. Europe is very stingy with water, but other tourist parts of the world aren’t.

Google destroys its products all the time. This isn’t new.

Well, what else would those engineers work on? Most of Meta’s product lines are either stable or dead. If they weren’t going to AI, they would just be going away.

Colleges haven’t been training people how to read for centuries; it has been assumed that people entering college could read and write with a pen for a long time and college shifted with it.

And the collegiate system wasn’t based on Confucian teaching styles.

Yeah, but part of it is because students complained, the current ranking of universities don’t include quality of undergraduate education, and the public didn’t really understand what college was for when providing funding with strings attached.

You can argue that primary and secondary school was about workforce productivity, but college was designed for leadership training.

Unless the existing staff break down and can’t do enough work to keep the place running, management don’t care.

They’re greedy, not stupid.

The point of an undergraduate degree isn’t knowledge; knowledge is only the first level in Bloom’s Taxonomy, a set of six levels of how people understand different topics.

The problem with the use of AI in college is that students are supposed to get to the application point in undergrad and that college is supposed to provide that practice. Using AI in college is like using a machine to lift weights. Sure, the weights are moved, but it doesn’t benefit the person who needed the exercise.

Don’t you understand, the Fediverse is serious business!

Well, the Lemmy devs have stated that their goal isn’t to design a system that scales well and it shows. Part of it is that there may be a future where there are too many new users for a mod team to handle, especially if the barrier for signing up is extremely low.

Maybe, but without Google Play Services, it is going to be effectively dumb for the general population.

Hello. Nice to meet you too. I hope you like it here.

It is great to see that people in China can participate in this little slice of Internet.

Yeah. If it was just sex, there are states you can go to to get that cleared up.

But if you look at history, there are a lot of unplanned pregnancies which resulted in shotgun weddings and extended family structures which supported these events.

I wouldn’t dare.
