A $120K marketing budget for a single beat of a campaign would match a company with credit cards with limits that large. Usually you don’t use a credit card for marketing spending though and your Google bill is paid by a bank account. It should have been flagged but they could be using their company cc’s recklessly making this a normal transaction.

It’s going to pop before 2027. It’s a pop not a deflate, the money will disappear in a 48 hour period, not that the theoretical money every existed.

When you have ownership of the project you care.
We go by description of the PR. If you can briefly describe the changes you want to merge, We will consider accepting it. If you have two paragraph or more, insta close. If someone has made large changes, there is no way they can have a short description, either break it down to smaller PRs or admit you don’t know what you are doing and are trying to merge garbage.

That is your problem, it’s super slow and server management is hard. I am seeing that Sable seems to be popular.

People have that job already. How do you think that websites where you can upload amateur porn, filter and block CSAM? Someone has to view the flagged material.

on Take-Two Interactive is using DMCA 512(h) method to dox everyone posting about the leaks. in c/games@lemmy.world · 25 Aug 2026
This is legally known as a fishing expedition. It is really really bad. If the court issues subpoena for this nonsense, they are saying that your rights don’t matter when a wealthy person(corperation) accuses you. In fact everyone around you right’s also don’t matter. If any of those 100000 people has the money, they need to file against it to block the subpoena.

You can’t do that. There is a reason only one company in the entire world can do it. It’s because it’s really hard to do and it is an iterative technology.

on Viral De-Flock America campaign urging people to destroy AI cameras on Halloween night gains momentum in c/technology@lemmy.world · 20 Aug 2026
You could just wrap your phone in tinfoil, but there is an exact way that you have to do it. If you have ever been somewhere remote without signal, your phone will nuke it’s battery trying to find signal by increasing the antenna’s power. You have to put it in airplane mode to save your battery. Not matter what you do, even turning your phone off, the antenna will be live sending some signal. The takeaway is that even with a hacky Faraday cage, your phone will try it’s hardest to phone home and could win with a tiny tear in the foil.

on Nvidia AI Chip Found in New Russian Missile, Ukraine Says in c/technology@lemmy.world · 13 Aug 2026
You severely overestimate Russia’s technological capabilities. For the last 30 years all of the money has been moving to politician’s pockets. They are not losing in Ukraine because of a fluke, they are losing because they are a hollowed out shell of what they used to be.

Can we not legitimize these projects that will never fucking happen by reporting on them. I know the tech news places need clicks but this is not based in reality. My space tech proposal is that we all fart into jars and send the full jars to space-x for tax credits, where pure methane gas will produced. The rockets will have a pressurized 60KM long line attached to provide natural gas as a booster fuel, then detached to be caught an aircraft carrier. This will save big $$$.
If they have a Workspace account for the entire business, they could be big enough to be in the “Google actually cares because they bring in $$$” category and will drop the charge.
