Googled Androids yes, not degoogled ones. There’s a big difference.

elouboub@kbin.socialto Technology@beehaw.org•Scarlett Johansson hits AI app with legal action for cloning her voice in an ad12·2 years agoWould be hilarious if the picture there were also AI generated (it sure does look like it to me).
Android is opensource. It has closed source components, but they aren’t necessary to run Android.

elouboub@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Elon Musk gives X employees one year to replace your bank - ‘You won’t need a bank account... it would blow my mind if we don’t have that rolled out by the end of next year.’111·2 years agoDespite my distaste for the dude, more competition is good. Imagine if he really does make cheap, near instant, worldwide transfers possible and not just to 150 countries or something, but to all of them. There’s an insane amount of remittance in the system. It’s the entire raison d’être for some banks. If you can enter that ranking around the middle, you’ll be making mad bank.

“junking”. Install linux on it you mugs!
elouboub@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.ml•A police dog attacked a Black trucker on his knees. An Ohio city is dealing with the aftermath73·2 years agoBro, I’m asking you for your thoughts on an alternative and you just rage on about some perceived slight to your intelligence or what not.
If you don’t have an alternative, then say so. Stop beating around the bush pretending to hoard some plan you do not possess. It wasn’t a difficult fucking question you nutjob.
elouboub@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.ml•A police dog attacked a Black trucker on his knees. An Ohio city is dealing with the aftermath64·2 years agoYou haven’t answered the question. Who should enforce the law? I’m not sure if you have a problem with the concept of police or with the implementation thereof.

elouboub@kbin.socialto Games@lemmy.world•Microsoft’s CEO say it’s ‘doubling down’ on being a game producer and publisher | VGC123·2 years agoI bet you they’ll start pulling their games from stores in 2-3 years or release new ones exclusively to their own. The games will be made as difficult to run in wine/proton as possible. Probably they’ll introduce some new graphics layer that’s windows only and since they own huge game publishers, they don’t have to worry about any other platform ever.

elouboub@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Youtube's Anti-adblock is illegal in the EU1426·2 years agoWhile I kinda sympathise, I won’t be filing a complaint. I want Youtube to become so shit that even the average user will start looking for alternatives. I want ads plastered everywhere on that site and adblockers to fail miserably at blocking them. I want the average user to be so bothered by the ads that when they stumble upon an alternative they try and convince people to switch. I want content creators to be so bothered by it that they make videos promoting the use of another service.
Make this a competition for alternatives. Don’t make it easy for users to stay on Youtube.
elouboub@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Europe is looking to fight the flood of Chinese electric vehicles. But Europeans love them5·2 years agoCar batteries you can swap by hand in a few minutes without going to the shop, reverse charging (a car battery can power your home for a while), face scanning tech to ensure you aren’t distracted by your phone, capacitive door handles, resistive car doors that limit how far you can open them if there’s an obstacle in order no to scratch the doors, intercar communication, and that’s what I picked up from watching a video for a few minutes.
BYD added a few thousand patents since 2011 and that’s just one of the car companies. They have played around with designs, materials, and much more. IINM they are also working on solid state batteries.
And of course modernising the supply chains and making it possible even produce a car cheaply, quickly, and better quality than a Tesla. If that isn’t innovation for you, then I don’t know what is.
Oh, you’re still paying for Netflix? Well… sucks to be you!
elouboub@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Europe is looking to fight the flood of Chinese electric vehicles. But Europeans love them7523·2 years agoLol, a car industry that hasn’t innovated in years is suddenly threatened by innovation. Still, fuck cars. We should make them nigh obsolete with better public transport.
elouboub@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Europe is looking to fight the flood of Chinese electric vehicles. But Europeans love them6·2 years agoEU rules are even stricter than those across the pond. There are entire classes of products banned from the European market due to impact on health that the USA will happily poison their population with.
Just have to pay google 800$ to leave the google ecosystem. Seems legit.
