I've been using DuckDuckGo as my main search engine for a while now. Lately, DDG seems to "correct" my searches. A LOT. I don't know if it's just me or if it's a universal thing, but when I type in a search sometimes not only the results aren't what I was looking for, but I see the query itself has been changed to something I didn't actually search for. It's INCREDIBLY frustrating. I just might have to find a new search engine if this keeps up.

@mike I’ve experienced similar issues. There are other search engines starting to index or specialize in blogs and indie web results.

Mojeek, Stract, Clew, Wiby, Marginalia and ooh.directory

Found this article about leaving Apple. Hopefully there are enough tips here to help if you're stuck moving away from Apple software.

Apple may label iOS 18 artificial intelligence features as a beta preview, signaling Apple is still playing catch-up https://9to5mac.com/2024/05/26/apple-ios-18-beta-preview-artificial-intelligence/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

@stux @9to5Mac Or we don’t update. Apps still work even in older iOS versions like 15 and 16. So I’m sure we will be fine for awhile on iOS 17.

I now find myself in agreement with @felimwhiteley. We are going to look back on this period in a few years and generative AI will be considered in the same light as blockchain and crypto are now.

@JoeRess @felimwhiteley I hope you're right and this turns into another crypto scenario. The alternative is not good.

@hyde @adamsdesk I've watched Sopranos several times, one of my favorite shows.

@chris My five days off was relaxing and I didn’t get anything done. I need more time off. Glad it helped your mental health.

I really love the style. 40 years later and it still looks super modern.

Consider me not at all shocked that Humane is shopping itself.

TBH, I expected Rabbit to do this first because the company doesn’t offer a compelling hardware product but because the software / approach is the real product and far more valuable. Well, if it worked better, that is. I figured Rabbit built a low-cost hardware box simply to showcase the actual product that it would/will later try to sell.

I get that this is supposedly "stored locally" and encrypted, but I don't trust this even the slightest bit. I don't trust that Microsoft can keep its greedy mitts off that data.

@mike I don’t want my banking details screenshot when logged in and trust Microsoft is keeping this local.

How big of a hard drive do I need to store all these screenshots? What is happening to my laptop battery life? 🤦‍♂️

    @chris What about Phanpy or Elk? I tried various desktop versions in Linux but they always seemed to be missing some features. I haven't used one in awhile, so that may have changed.

    @chris I wonder if Linux desktop client’s development is slow due to web clients? I haven’t seen much progress unfortunately.

    Good morning and happy Tuesday to the #Fediverse around us.

    Let's discuss what we each have planned for the day today or what we've already accomplished for the day.

    For me, it's work stuff with 3 meetings from 12pm - 3pm today. So busy day obviously.

    After that, hoping to get some video game time in with Diablo IV and/or Ghost of Tsushima. Not much else planned for this evening but to relax.

    @cliffwade Good morning, last day off of vacation and unfortunately it is raining, so most likely gaming or figuring out how to self host stuff. My long term project is to self host as much as I can for myself.

    jnv,
    @jnv@fosstodon.org avatar

    @cliffwade I have a Mac Mini that is always on. Would be nice to experiment with self hosting of other things like blogs, phanpy and other cool things I come across here. I currently have it running as a media server and tv using Hdhomerun hardware.

    Well my Phanpy trial ended on my Pixel. It stopped loading. Deleted the PWA and set it up again, just a black screen with a loading circle hanging there. Back to Moshindon now.

    jnv,
    @jnv@fosstodon.org avatar

    @adamsdesk I know but I haven't self hosted anything before, need to learn. I'm not sure why it stopped working on my Pixel. Will need to research it when I have time. I really miss it. I still use it on my other devices.
