I thiiiiink that all this email actually means is "Find My Device will now include bluetooth devices at their location last seen by an Android phone, which means that if your phone is disconnected from the Internet but Bluetooth is on then Find My Device can still find it if another Android device passes nearby (unless you disable this feature)".
But uhhhh wow Google used some pretty alarming language to describe it
@mcc I assume they'd use something like what Apple built for Find My, which is pretty good at being private, but also, it would indeed be nice if they actually said that.
@Uraael@ErikUden You're confusing things here. I haven't said anything on whether I want Palestinans to have a state and citizenship, I simply pointed out why it'd be hard for an AI to say that.
I strongly believe in individual freedom, I don't like nations.
But that's not how our world works.
Still I think it were better for Palestinians to have a state and citizenship and all that comes with it.
@sfb@ErikUden Our world works the way we want it to. It's not hard-coded. If we want to recognise a people without the usual formal documents and pomp proclaiming statehood, we absolutely can.
But please recognise this isn't an AI problem here. This is the programmers [ab]using the software to modify how it responds re: Palestinians. GIGO applies. The fact of non-statehood is entirely irrelevant to what we're seeing here: the AI is not considering the socio-political or geo-historical ramifications of the question in any sense. It is following Rule-scripts:
=IF(x="Palestinians, "It's Complicated", [otherwise] "All people are free")
Pretty good summary of the drawbacks of having a single-user Mastodon instance that result from ActivityPub's architecture (and partially from Mastodon's implementation): https://mull.net/mastodon
It's nice to be in control of your account, but you need to know what you're getting yourself into.
@jglypt And tbh it worked like shit until the 4.2 update, it wasn't really possible to find what I wanted anyway, they only fixed everything there in 4.2
So I've just been doing some tidying in the garage and I found this old #Compaq#Netbook. I've put it on charge, but do we think it will boot, and what OS do we think it's running?
@kev@popey instead of using archive.ubuntu.com, use old-releases.ubuntu.com in your sources.list. Keep in mind that old-releases has no country code in the url.
Mdr quand je vois les terminales qui ont l'intégralité du contenu du frigo sur leur table pendant les épreuves, je me rappelle de mes examens à moi, demandant à ma mère "jpeux emporter des trucs à manger pour les épreuves du bac ?"
Ma mère " tiens voilà 2 goûters"
Ouais les goûters vous vous rappelez les biscuits tous secs là
Autant dire que j'emmenais rien mdr
The deeply serious reply-guys of Mastodon: conducting an argument (that they started, natch) with "what ifs"; and their main points of reference are "small tribes" and their assumedly deep, universal, and primitive need for "police"; and Mr. Bean. Oh also refusing to read the abolitionist links people are providing.
@inquiline Yeah, pretty silly stuff, but annoying enough to process with that I upgraded that account to a block after reading through it. It's just not worth the mental effort to disentangle the logical fallacies in those posts in order to get to anything worthwhile, even with the bit of a laugh it also generated!
Whenever I hear politicians talking about trusting the British public to do the right thing come the general election, I'm reminded that every year dozens of people in this country take part in a race, which is essentially just falling down a big hill behind some cheese.
These AI SEO spam operations have used lists of common searches to ensure that their pages come up first in searches in the “long fat tail” the kind of search where it used to be about 50/50 if you’d find a page addressing your needs. But, it used to be if you found something like “The top 15 smallest ants in the world” it wouldn’t be nonsense. It’d either exist and be the work of another person who cared OR you found nothing. Not so now! I can’t possibly over-stress how bad this is! 1/
@promovicz I have to read tons of scientific studies and don't have a problem yet to find them. In former times, it was Google scholar but more important are the platforms where they are published. Plus connecting to certain scientists in social media. The only obstacles are paywalls at most.
@NanoRaptor 🤩 I didn’t need an explanation for this. A couple of years ago I took a 3D crosseyed picture of a teddy bear and instantly was reminded. Great shot.
The cool thing about this: you don’t need any special equipment to see it and you don’t need more than a camera to make it.
@NanoRaptor I’m a little confused, is this stereogram reversed? I can get it to work when I cross my eyes but not with the traditional zoom in and out method?
