@jpmens to be honest, as long as they stay secure, they can add whatever crap like this anytime. I've tried in the past to get family members to adopt Signal instead of Teegram/WhatsApp and such. "there are no stickers".
Meta said in a statement: “This feature aims to strike the balance between protecting people from seeing nude images and educating them about the risks of sharing them, while not preventing or interrupting people’s important conversations.”
Translation:
Emperor fires tailor, after fitting session revelations.
Hmmm, @cloudflare are depreciating auto minify in August because of dropping amount of usage - “since minification is included in most modern web development frameworks.”
So my carefully crafted hand built sites on Cloudflare will be slightly slower because they don’t use a ‘modern web development framework’.
@andydavies
Means I’m going to spend some time looking at the sites I have on there and that will mean I will probably find some bigger issues, so I should be grateful really!
Just came up with a new analogy I'm rather proud of: LLMs are digital compost heaps. They decompose whatever you hurl in and turn it into artificial excrement.
Also I'm moving from StackExchange to Codidact. If I'm going to do any more unpaid labour it's going to be for a not-for-profit, rather than a for-profit company. Feeding that work into a digital compost heap is the push I needed.
@jomo ah, ok, I was wondering about the useless filtering and thought it should perhaps say "before:2013" ... So actually any filter would do the trick?
I want to hack this bullshit piece of HW so badly. I mean HP what’s wrong? Why do I need a web server on a printer? Why do I need subscription for ink? Why an account for printing? The question that remains is, can doom be played on it? Or should I consider porting veilid to it? #Enshittification
Sorry, I had to procrastinate more by making a detailed sampling of the Facebook timeline shiteousness. I understated it. Scrolling through 102 postsafter a refresh the breakdown was: 3 from my follows, 79 "suggestions",19 ads, 1 reels item (this time just once but often that comes up multiple times). Worse, posts from my follows only occured in the first 10. The suggestions started off not bad but then got horrible. Ads were universally garbage. Thank god for the fediverse! #fediverse#facebook#enshitification
If Apple starts sending all my fucking search, messages, photos, files, etc. data to Google or OpenAI I'm done with them. They are my compromise platform because I hate adding to the Google/Facebook style data reseller big tech data lakes. I honestly don't know what the alternative will be at that point besides having to hobble my experience with /e/os, LineageOS, whatever, self hosting services, etc. and try to figure out a work around for banking apps. Motherfuckers! This is so enraging. I have a feeling I better start getting my ducks in a row to depart their ecosystem sooner rather than later. #rant#apple#ai#enshitification#BigTechShouldNotExistmacrumors.com/2024/04/26/apple…
@hankg I used to be happy with the hobbled experience you mention but have mistakenly become comfortable with the nice features available from iOS (though a Google Pixel would be similar). Very frustrating.
GrapheneOS seems good and I got banking apps working on it, but haven’t been entirely successful with a smartwatch.
Between Windows 11 "reportedly display[ing] a watermark if your PC does not support AI requirements" [1] and cramming ads into the Start menu [2], I'm really not looking forward to having to update next year [3].
