I had a friend who did this for a living, he had two phones so he would run Uber Eats and Doordash at the same time in order to try and optimize, and even then he spent a lot of time just sitting around because these apps are extremely inefficient (and later they started cracking down on people trying to increase their pay by doing both, dunno if it’s still doable now).

Hear hear for living too far away from DD to be tempted by it. I used to waste a lot of money on it back in like 2021/22, but I moved to a town whose only “fast food” is a burger grill that’s attached to the gas station and run by exactly one guy and if he’s on break when you show up then you can either wait until he’s done or leave and go to the grocery store.

There’s no way that they should be allowed to advertise “no ads” when there are in fact ads. This is consumer protection so basic and obvious that it should be a slam dunk even with the current government… right?

the CCP is evil, Ukraine

Do, uh, do you know which country it was that invaded Ukraine?

Most companies that have open source products make their money in providing support for it to other companies, so theoretically OpenAI could do that (in fact top level AI developers are pretty rare so they could charge way more than other companies do for consulting) but that wouldn’t be a hundreds-of-billions-of-dollars business plan because it’s much too sensible.

He starts a lot of shit, but dammit if he isn’t right most of the time.

when it’s the state/government/leadership that is using acts of violence

So when a corporation uses or sponsors acts of violence it’s not authoritarianism? I guess Coca-Cola-funded fascist death squads are just smol bean libertarians fighting the oppressive tankie socialists!

You can’t even get your talking points in order. The main people on lemmy.ml are anti-capitalist, they would accuse those who would censor them of being anti-communist.

True but only for terminally online liberals. I still haven’t heard anyone in real life ever use that word.
