I wish smartphones were designed with batteries that pop out. So when the battery gets old you just pop in a new one, like replacing a battery in a flashlight or something similar. It would be less expensive for the consumer and also more environmentally friendly. Both of those things are probably why it will never happen but I can still dream. 😂

@sennoma I've seen the Fairphone before but as far as I know it's not available in the US. Which is disappointing.

No I don't want a phone with "great battery life" I want a phone with a REMOVABLE BATTERY. How hard is it to find one here in the US?? 😩 :blobcatangry:

AI Companies Are Running Out of Internet

"Some industry estimates say they'll run out of internet to burn through in about two years, as both high-quality data becomes scarce, and as certain companies keep their data out of the hands of AI."

Wow FediDB says that there's now 10,051,880 users on the fediverse.

https://fedidb.org/

Just three days ago it was 10,009,051: https://mstdn.social/@noellemitchell/112210647591565969

I wonder why the sudden huge increase? 😵

Report: OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Meta Stole Content at Scale to Train AI

"...OpenAI in 2021 created a speech recognition tool called Whisper that could transcribe the audio in YouTube videos to create text for training its ChatGPT AI. It did so despite the opposition of employees who argued that Whisper violated YouTube’s rules. And it did so at scale, creating over one million hours of YouTube video transcripts."

Oh yeah I forgot to post about this!

March 14th 2022 was when I deactivated my Twitter account, which means it's been over 2 years since I left the platform. I don't miss it at all and highly recommend leaving. 😄 :twitter:

Unfortunately I think I have to replace my Android phone soon, something I'm not excited about. I don't want to have a smartphone at all, but it's hard to not have one with the way things work in society. Extremely annoying and wasteful.

LinkedIn targets users caught between TikTok and what used to be Twitter

"Two weeks ago, TechCrunch broke the news that LinkedIn was getting into games, helping users “deepen relationships” through puzzle-based interactions. And on Wednesday, TechCrunch reported that the Microsoft-owned social network was experimenting with short-form videos."

@weirdwriter I listen to nonfiction podcasts. I agree, podcasts are a great way to keep updated on what's going on in the world.

Twitter was founded on this day in 2006, 18 years ago.

Didn't realize it was 18 years old now. 😅

According to fedidb.org there are 7.3 million users on Mastodon:

https://fedidb.org/software/mastodon

And according to the website libera.site, there are 8.7 million users on Mastodon:

https://libera.site/item/07ecdd0b-4959-41d1-9898-7083cf69bd51

Aaaaand according to Mastodon Users there are 15 million users on Mastodon 😵 :

https://mastodon.social/@mastodonusercount/112119410102902380

So I'm confused about which one is correct when two of them say 7 and 8 million respectively but Mastodon Users says 15 million users which is waaaayyy higher 👀

I think it's strange that Mastodon Users says 15 million, which is 8 million more than what FediDB says and 7 million more than libera.site 😅

"The TikTok bill can ban apps with as few as one million monthly users, which is roughly the size of tiny apps like Mastodon. For reference, TikTok is roughly one thousand times bigger, with one billion monthly users. The wide range of apps covered by the TikTok bill, and the vague terms to categorize them as “controlled by a foreign adversary” gives the President a lot of power."

Omg imagine getting banned 😅

"On March 13, she responded to an anonymous X account that cited the Nazi book burning of transgender research and asking her why she supports anti-trans ideology in light of that information. Rowling responded by casting doubt on the user’s claim and suggesting they should have checked their sources."
