Don’t forget they bought Activision and own games like Diablo and WoW.

The patent seems to be for PC games though I’m sure it would apply to both.

on Garbage Trucks Now Have AI Cameras To Score Your House and Clock Code Violations in c/technology@beehaw.org · 6d ago
Probably fines first, and if it’s bad enough, the city could foreclose or condemn the property.
Mostly fines though.

My city has rules about all kinds of things, much like an HOA would.
Once I got a letter from my city because my trash cans were on my driveway.
My neighbor gets violation notices for his grass all the time.

on Bernie Sanders says if AI is coming for workers, it should bring a four-day workweek with it in c/technology@lemmy.world · 6d ago
Everyday, I wish that I had become an electrician.
Unfortunately, I can’t afford to go back to school.

I suspect many of us will be getting 7 day weekends whether we want it or not.

on Time for a new course in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev · 12 Sep 2026
I got a degree in development a few years ago and couldn’t find a job. There was nothing out there for a junior dev. I was persistent for about a year then, I just gave up.
Now I work in Commercial Real Estate but I can see this industry is about to be decimated by AI also. They are slowly starting to figure it out and build AI tools that do their job.

There was a guy sitting in it. I could see him when it passed me.

I saw one speeding (10 over the limit) on the Interstate in Kansas City. Had a California plate, but I’m assuming it came from Austin?
No fucking way, I’m getting into one of those death traps and then letting it drive me across country.

Do you think Minecraft and Roblox get DMCA takedown notices from each other?

on Delta Will Use AI To Cut Costs And Set A Different Ticket Price For Every Passenger—CEO Says Profits Could Rise 50% in c/technology@lemmy.world · 25 Aug 2026
It’s a fantastic job for a teenager. I had a great experience before joining management.

Here’s a “fun” semi-not relevant fact. Movie theaters were excluded from playing OT in the Fair Labor Act in the US.
They were able to lobby congress when it was drafted and said they couldn’t afford it. Most people who work there are part time and it’s fine, but assistant managers and other full-time non-salaried positions get screwed.
Source: I was an assistant manager at Regal Theaters in the mid-late 2000s. I did not get OT. I made something like $6/hr.

on Ubuntu is growing faster on Windows 11 than on native Linux PCs, says Canonical in c/technology@lemmy.world · 20 Aug 2026
I’m a Fedora user myself. It’s pretty well built but I’ve had a lot of issues especially with the Wayland stuff. That’s getting better for sure but Ubuntu has the type of tech support that older people are used to.
It’s probably still the most popular distro, still today, which means there are going to be more resources for them.
If my mom has to open the terminal, she’s going to give up and go back to windows.

on Behold, "the whole story of Steam's economy in one picture": the top 1% of games earn 84.5% of estimated revenue, and most games barely make anything in c/games@lemmy.world · 20 Aug 2026
Arguably more striking is the rate of Steam’s growth. “Steam’s catalogue grew faster than its revenue,” the report says, and this has seen those earning extremes widen. A massive 19,714 games were released on Steam in 2024, and 2025 passed even that at 23,107.
Go back just five years and Steam looks very different with 7,427 games released in 2018 – more than even 2019, and the highest on record at the time. 2026 has already doubled that at 15,814 games released, and the year still has several busy months ahead of it.
How many of this are AI garbage? It seems like no coincidence that the number of games corresponds to the increased AI push.
I would love to know how this breaks down with you cut out all the slop products.

A lot of negativity on using Ubuntu. I agree with the hate for Ubuntu but if i was trying ease my mom into Linux I would put her on something like this to begin with.
Ubuntu is a good starting point for people who aren’t comfortable on computers.

on YouTube now requires creators to have twice as many watch hours to start earning money in c/technology@lemmy.world · 14 Aug 2026
In the beginning, YT was more like what you describe. It’s not anymore.
Where you are wrong is that it is Netflix now.
YT sees themselves as a competitor to Netflix. They have said this publicly. And Netflix is trying to compete with YT. They are actively managing it like Netflix without paying anyone for the “shows” that gets added to their streaming service.

I agree with @ji_reilly@lemmy.ml.
If it was a human that was reviewing all that footage, maybe but if it’s all automated by AI, especially as AI gets better, there is no noise. Only a camera logging everything you do in a searchable database.

I could never trust Brave. You can’t be a search or browser company and also run an ad network. It’s a conflict of interest.

This is what they are monitoring for, to try to match people up who might do vandalism on the cameras.
You gotta say “DEFINITELY NOBODY TIE BLACK GARBAGE BAGS OVER FLOCK CAMERA.”

I agree with you on quality, but I’d point out that YT is also requiring a lot of people to work for free.
Imagine if a mechanic’s boss told her they wouldn’t pay her until she changed the oil in 800 cars for free.
My favorite part is that the exploit was an Oracle issue. The Ellison family sucks.
