I don’t think a community for it is an unreasonable idea - at least for now, many AI images are easily identifiable by defects / lack of reasoning in the image. Though there isn’t a good computer program that can do this, I agree.

I love this song. The intro sounds so other-worldly.
The Blower’s Daughter by Damien Rice is a favourite of mine.
OC isn’t claiming that the shift in the industry is solely Apple’s fault:
I don’t hate Apple but I do hate their influence
The reality is that what OC said is exactly what happened. Apple removed the headphone jack to coerce people into buying AirPods. Everyone else released their own wireless earbuds to compete, and also removes their headphone jacks for the same reason.
Are upgrades to the newest and still supported macOS version free?
All of Apple’s macOS updates are free, and have been since 2013. They have exactly one major macOS update per year, with smaller bugfix releases interspersed. However, Apple drops official support for their computers after about 5 or 6 years. This is exactly the same as their update system for iOS and their other platforms. Apple is able to provide updates for free due to income from hardware sales, which Windows obviously isn’t in the same position to do.
macOS 14 Sonoma (the latest version) is officially supported for all Macs made since 2018. You can still install modern versions of macOS on unsupported devices, but you have to use third-party tools such as Open Core Legacy Patcher.
What other applications do macOS users get for free?
Apple has quite a few free apps, many of which come pre-installed with macOS. These include Safari (web browser), Messages, FaceTime (video-calling app), Maps, Pages (Apple’s version of MS Word) and more. Here’s a full list. You may recognise many of these from iOS. Controversially, most of these pre-installed apps receive updates with the OS, and can’t be updated without also updating the OS. Therefore, all of these apps receive free updates for as long as Apple updates the OS.
Apple also sells a handful of paid apps for a one-time charge, the most well-known of which is Final Cut Pro. They also have subscription services for some of their other apps, such as Apple Music.
Do macOS users get more free apps if they create an account with apple?
Some features require an “Apple ID” (Apple account). Some examples:
I’ve understood adobe and MS-Office are active at the mac app store. How does apple’s business model work?
Some apps are available on the App Store, and others are downloaded from the developer’s website. Most developers make their apps available from the web rather than the App Store, because Apple charges money to offer apps on the App Store. It costs $99 per year, plus 15-30% of the money made from people buying the app or from in-app purchases.
Microsoft Office apps are available from the App Store, but you have to download most Adobe apps from Adobe’s website. As mentioned above, this is to avoid the 15% cut that Apple would probably take from Adobe’s subscription revenue if it was available on the App Store.
Do I buy the app, pay once and get free updates and upgrades indefinitely? or do I have to pay them a monthly fee?
Apps are either free, have a one-time charge, or are subscription-based. Apps downloaded from the App Store are updated automatically, and most will give you free updates forever. The developer gets to choose which OS versions they support, and can publish updates for your device even after that device stops receiving OS updates from Apple.
Can LibreOffice be used on a macOS?
I don’t use LibreOffice personally, but their website says it’s supported. Another alternative is Apple’s equivalent of MS Office, which is free and supports MS file types.
Is there an emulator to use ubuntu or windows based apps on a mac? Are they free of charge?
There are emulators, yes. Wine is a free popular emulator for Windows apps. You may have used Wine on Linux before. Linux and macOS share some similarities on the technical side, because they are both based on UNIX (unlike Windows).
I personally use Whisky, which is Wine-based and has a nice GUI. It should be noted that not all windows apps will work through Wine, but I’ve had success with many apps and even some games (most recently Lethal Company, which I was able to run at a stable 120fps using Whisky).
Intead of emulating a single app using Wine, you can also emulate Windows entirely if you want to. I’ve used Virtual Box to do this in the past. Parallels Desktop is a sleeker alternative that many people use, but it’s subscription based. I personally haven’t tried it.
On older Macs (that have Intel chips) you can install Windows directly alongside macOS. Modern Macs (ones with Apple Silicon chips) can’t run Windows natively, but there is a version of Linux (Asahi Linux) that you can install.
I hope this answers your questions :)
Backend of the app or the lemmy server? if it is not stored on the lemmy server then there will be no way to delete it even if the app stores the token.
Apologies, I worded that badly. Lemmy uses an image hosting service called pictrs to manage the images you upload, which is largely separated from the rest of the Lemmy backend. Pictrs of course stores the delete tokens matching each image, but Lemmy doesn’t associate those tokens with the posts or comments they originated from as far as I know.
I’m a developer of a Lemmy client. When you upload an image to a Lemmy instance, the instance returns a “delete token”. Later, you can ask the instance to delete the image attached to the delete token. So as long as you keep hold of the delete token for a specific image, you’re able to delete it later.
Lemmy-ui (the official frontend) will give you the option to delete an image again shortly after uploading it. However, it’s not possible to remove the image after actually creating the post, as the delete token associated with that post isn’t remembered anywhere on the Lemmy backend.
As for other Lemmy clients, YMMV. The client I work on (Mlem) deletes images if you remove them from a post before posting it, but has the same pitfall as Lemmy-ui in that it won’t delete the image if you’ve already created the post.
It would be possible to locally save the delete tokens of every image you upload, so that you can request that they be removed later. I don’t know of any clients that can do this yet, though (if someone knows of one, feel free to mention it).
Edit: clarity
Same. I’ve made six accounts since I joined during the exodus, only two of which I actively use now.
They do, actually. Eligible creators (basically you have to live in the US, be over 18 and have made at least 100 karma in the last 12 months) can claim 33% of the money spent on the gold.
Please don’t just say “no” to a question without actually doing research. Disliking a platform isn’t a reason to spread misinformation about it.
You get $0.90 per gold - the fancier golden upvotes are worth multiple gold, with the most expensive one being worth 25 gold. So the post creator can claim 33% back
Theoretically, yes. Supposedly (If you live in the US) you can cash out $0.90 for every ‘gold’ you receive. In the image, the leftmost golden upvote is worth one ‘gold’, and the rightmost is worth 25. This means that one gold is bought for $2.69, so the post creator can claim 33% of that money back if they are eligible. https://www.reddit.com/contributor-program
There’s not an in-app key for it currently, no. Here’s what each of them mean:

- botFor anyone who doesn’t know what this is - Apollo had a feature (see image) that would show the weather at a location in the header of a location-related subreddit. For example, r/Tokyo would show the weather in Tokyo. This was only added in iOS 16 and was off by default iirc, which is why many people may not have heard about it.
I agree this is a cool feature, but it’s far from essential so it’ll probably be some time before we consider it properly. I’ll add it to our backlog 👍
I don’t see why you’re being downvoted - whilst a significant portion of Apple’s claimed ‘carbon neutrality’ can indeed be attributed to carbon offsets, they have also made changes in other areas. Here’s a graph from Apple’s climate report that shows the supposed change in emissions between last year and this year’s watches.
Thanks for the info! We’ll look into it.
We’re sorry this happened! Users aren’t meant to be able to remove the info stack widget 🤔 Did the app let you remove the info stack widget, or did it bug out and remove all of the widgets itself?
Deleting the app and redownloading it from the App Store should fix this, but you’ll have to readjust all of your settings I’m afraid. I’ll add a ‘reset’ button for the interaction bar customiser in the next version, so that it’s easier to fix if this happens again.
This isn’t possible yet unfortunately. We plan to expand the functionality of the search tab to include post searching, but we haven’t got there quite yet.
Thanks for the help! Unfortunately those settings are unlikely to make any difference. We’d appreciate a screen recording if you’ve got the time, though
Last I heard they want to switch to another platform, and don’t consider it worth upgrading to 0.19 because they’re leaving soon so it wouldn’t be worth the hassle.
This is pure guesswork on my part, but they could be waiting for Sublinks (a Lemmy-compatible backend) to get up to speed before switching to that. They say that the new platform is “compatible with all Lemmy apps”, and Sublinks is the only project I know of that fits that criteria.
