Yeah their plans have been on and off for years now. Just ignore anything they say.

Pretty sure you can disable those by click on the settings wheel visible in the bottom right. Or just use librewolf :)

Yup this is the way. The resulting .kdbx database file is encrypted so you can even synchronize it over an untrusted provider. Otherwise you can use something like syncthing to keep it strictly peer to peer.

Nah its just part of the MLM scheme that is “AI”. Its useful because they said it would be useful. Its worth the investment because it cost a lot of money. Once you realize that all these companies care about is revenue and “growth” then it all clicks. It doesnt have to work or be profitable, it just needs to look good to investers.

They will even go as far as firing loads of workers and saying publicly that they “replaced them with AI” while in reality those workers were just doing something that the company was willing to sacrifice. They just replaced something with nothing to make it look like their magic AI can actually do things.

Cory Doctorow put it better than i ever could: https://pluralistic.net/2025/05/07/rah-rah-rasputin/
The whole post is good but i will just quote this section.

The “boy genius” story is an example of Silicon Valley’s storied “reality distortion field,” pioneered by Steve Jobs. Like Jobs, Zuck is a Texas marksman, who fires a shotgun into the side of a barn and then draws a target around the holes. Jobs is remembered for his successes, and forgiven his (many, many) flops, and so is Zuck. The fact that pivot to video was well understood to have been a catastrophic scam didn’t stop people from believing Zuck when he announced “metaverse.”

Zuck lost more than $70b on metaverse, but, being a boy genius Texas marksman, he is still able to inspire confidence from credulous investors. Zuck’s AI initiatives generated huge interest in Meta’s stock, with investors betting that Zuck would find ways to keep Meta’s growth going, despite the fact that AI has the worst unit economics of any tech venture in living memory. AI is a business that gets more expensive as time goes on, and where the market’s willingness to pay goes down over time. This makes the old dotcom economics of “losing money on every sale, but making it up in volume” look positively rosy.

I still wonder to this day if this thing (Neuro-sama) isnt just a really elaborate mechanical turk setup.

Yeah absolutely zero chance anyone is gonna make a modern smartphone with all parts from a single country. Maybe in China but definitely nowhere else.

For URLs just put the URL into the lemmy search and it will find any posts with it.

For images there isnt really anything because it would require hashing all images uploaded to all instances and then allow people to search through them which is computationally expensive. Basically you want reverse image search like tineye.com but only for lemmy.

Thats fair yeah

The greater strength is achieved by turning concrete into a composite material with the addition of steel or other fibers.

Fiber reinforcment is thousands of years old.

Basically they used pyramid age tech to outplay billions of dollars worth of weapons tech.

Basically nobody has this in hand yet. Its lighter (193g) and shorter (156mm) than the previous ones which is nice. Harder glass surface (Corning 7i) so less scratches. Its still thick tho at 9.6mm but i dont mind that. If gsmarena is correct, then they didnt include video output over USBC for some fucking dumb reason this time. Ridiculous.

4000x3000 (12MP) is completely fine for a secondary camera imo. 32MP for the front cam is more than enough too. Upwards of 12MP, the denoising and optics are much more important than the resolution.

You can just pirate a dump of the game and flash it on if you want to actually play it.

Horrible name sadly

The Mastodon developers then formally requested that Truth Social comply with the terms of the software license,[75] with Truth Social publishing its source code as a ZIP file on the website on November 12, 2021.

Lol they actually complied with the license in the end, i didnt know that.

Nah it just doesnt show the x axis label. The last spike is the May number. It has a data point for each month, but that many labels wouldnt fit.

Yeah i was gonna say, this is old news. The +0.42% is the last spike on this graph.

Cute cat, but how is that tool use? Its not using the string/wire to do anything other than play with it directly.

Wikimedia has too much money, maybe this has started to create rotten tumors inside it.

They control all the endpoints/clients so even if they didnt, they could change it at any moment as the code isnt open…
