Another W for the EU. I just hope they stop making so many sus decisions and don't accept the chat control laws and stuff like that

Win I guess.

[-] GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml 13 points 3 weeks ago

Basically it's a victory of any kind

[-] roguetrick@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Win/Loss records are generally abbreviated as W/L. Take the L is it's opposite.

Not sure when people started to use 'W'. It appears multiple times in this thread

Edit: then again I'm of a generation where 'y' means why and not yes. Maybe I'm just not hip anymore sadfaceemoticon.jpg

Maybe I'm just not hip anymore

y

I wanna say it became a thing from Twitch streamers when e sports was a big thing, but I'm by no means sure that that's correct.

“Bowing to regulatory pressure” is always a weird phrase to me. “Meta decides to follow the law” isn’t catchy enough I guess

That's how I communicate my intention to pay a parking ticket. “Bowing to regulatory pressure”

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 weeks ago

Well honestly, that's too soft. They did not decide. They were pushed by regulators to follow the law. So bowing to pressure is more appropriate in my view.

The choices are always “accept” and “maybe later”

[-] Tyfud@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Gotta let the shareholders know value is only paused. More value will be created once we finish abolishing the remaining rights of EU Citizen's privacy.

Shareholders are always worried about their value. Gotta pause growth. Can't stop growth. Growth is infinite. The universe is infinite, and so is the capitalism machine.

It's pretty sad the government has to tell a company to not be shitty.

[-] Couldbealeotard@lemmy.world 31 points 3 weeks ago

That's normal and expected. What's sad is that there are countries with governments who don't tell companies not to be shitty.

[-] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 6 points 3 weeks ago

And that is where Meta will be training their AI 😬

Prepare yourself for pro-gun, anti-woman's rights, weirdo religion, tiny-penis truck, simplified-English AI

And even sadder is that users choose to still use those companies.

At the end of the day, we all have a choice. This happens to those that allow it. We try to stay safe from burglars, traffic accidents, illness, etc., but choose to still use these companies. That's a choice, and there are ways to improve our lives, like removing them from our lives.

Don't forget millions upon millions of low-information, low-empathy voters and non-voters who let it happen, many who still lazily believe that corporations are our friends, that "what's good for walmart and Exxon is good for 'Murica", that they are still the client and not the product, and the far-reaching implications of this.

This is completely off topic, but does anyone miss the Play Store UI in the article image? Man what a throwback.

[-] asexualchangeling@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago

It was reading this comment that made me realize that I hardly ever use the play store over f-droid anymore, because off the top of my head I couldn't tell you what the UI looks like

[-] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

I like the new UI more in terms of actual visuals, but it unfortunately has come with more ads and more general bullshit. I just use aurora store if I need something from the play store now!

[-] arxdat@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 weeks ago

So it's just a matter of time--gotcha
