Drinvictus ,

If only people moved to an open and federated platform. I mean I don't have to say that I hate reddit since I'm here but still whenever I Google a problem reddit answers are one of the most useful places. Especially about something local.

But remember. You're paying his mortgage and you can't deduct that from your taxes but he can deduct his mortgage from his taxes (the same mortgage that you paid)

Drinvictus ,

Reminds me of one time I was running an update at work and a coworker came up and asked are you coding because I have an app idea.

I said all I typed up was "yay"

Drinvictus ,

I had to because I had a sticker

Apple Removes WhatsApp, Threads, Telegram, and Signal from China App Store, says it complied with orders from the Chinese government (arstechnica.com)

Apple said it complied with orders from the Chinese government to remove the Meta-owned WhatsApp and Threads from its App Store in China. Apple also removed Telegram and Signal from China....

Doesn't matter where you are. Side loading is a must have for any device, especially phones because a lot of their functions require installing applications. This is like saying privacy is only important if you have something to hide. People are under the assumption that just by enabling side loading they'll open up their phones to viruses or something. If you don't need to just stick to your regular app store but having the option is important. If everything you do on your phone is connected to a single company then you aren't private, it's only an illusion of privacy.

Drinvictus ,

Someone's been reading too much rule 34

Drinvictus ,

You can't just mention AI in a device description and expect people to buy it in flocks.

Drinvictus ,

It's ok though someone will make an extension for it

Drinvictus ,

Investors are closely watching for updates on artificial intelligence development at Apple, which has so far spoken little about incorporating the AI technology into its devices.

I fucking hate apple but they're on the right side of this fucking AI train.

Drinvictus ,

Siri isn't ai based though. Far from it.

If someone doesn't mind their privacy they would just use Google Search + Gmail. This guy is delusional

Drinvictus ,

I don't know if you think I'm advocating against piracy or something but I'm not. I'm just saying Kagi is the same thing so might as well keep the $10/month.

Drinvictus ,

Got it. Thank you for clarifying

Drinvictus ,

TIL Google one had VPN

Drinvictus ,

Downvote me into oblivion but Kagi ain't shit. It's a glorified Google frontend. The author is right that the web is filled with AI generated articles and fake reviews and lists but Kagi is not immune to this enshittification.

I even tried the same query the author was bitching about.
Here is Kagi's first two links for top 10 air purifiers. Notice how the first result is a BS website called top10.com and the second one is one of the "fake review" websites .

https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/39942578-64cc-4773-beaf-3520439a44dd.png

And here is Google's. First result is Wirecutter, and this might be subjective but I trust Wirecutter reviews on most things.

https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/c5fc3be6-3a01-4d25-8123-117f5ccced0d.png

https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/b867b771-67c6-4360-a50c-aeedabe357c2.png

Rest of the Google results are exactly what the author was mentioning. But Kagi was no different.

https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/ac524d5d-1131-4e0d-a416-38d06d120b91.png

So $10/month to get the same shit? No thank you. I agree that Google turned to shit compared to what it was but it is still the best search engine out there. Now if the article was about privacy concerns then they would have a point. Which is what Kagi is all about anyway. So let's stop the fucking act.

Drinvictus ,

That is the way to go.

Drinvictus ,

I didn't change any settings. fresh account

Drinvictus ,

Even just attempting to form a union results in better benefits.

The residents at my hospital started discussing forming a union and they even got some signatures and what not. Word got out to the dean and now we have

  • increased salary
  • fixed amount university contribution to 403b regardless of how much you contribute
  • free parking
  • more meal stipends

Obviously they are still planning to unionize but I'm finishing my residency so I won't get to see it.

Drinvictus ,

I feel like the bot just responds positively to whatever you ask.

Drinvictus ,

Can someone make that into a Plymouth theme?

Drinvictus OP ,

I just want themes. Any app regardless of whatever the fuck it is, banking, notes, video player, web browser... I want to customize it.

Drinvictus ,

Not on silicon macs as far as I know. Asahi linux would be the best option, but I wouldn't want that as my daily driver. Virtualization is more viable.

Roger Federer made this joke in an interview

    Let's ban TikTok while our kids are dying because of guns. It's like they're doing everything they can to lose an election.

    Drinvictus ,

    You betcha

    Drinvictus ,

    So we're no different? Is that your argument? If so we're saying the same thing. This paves the way for more bans in the future.

    Sucking toes AND eating ass. Yeah this guy's a freak alright

    Drinvictus ,

    It's an experiment dude chillax

    Drinvictus ,

    Not only that this is not true, men also do not give a shit. My wife is doing derm and she is going to out-earn me straight out of residency. I could not care less because I'm not an idiot. More money = better life.

    Check out chants of senaar

    Drinvictus ,

    Lol I totally did not see that. Thanks for pointing it out. I only saw the stuff on the left for some reason

    Drinvictus ,

    me: lmao I saw it on Lemmy
    them: what's your lemmy account? what the fuck is lemmy?

    Drinvictus ,

    My wife and I went all out for our first born and as a baby monitor we got a MIKU. It is able to track the baby's breathing without any accessories and one of the key reasons I chose MIKU was that even though it was expensive it did not have a subscription model. BECAUSE I FUCKING HATE SUBSCRIPTIONS. Fast forward to Summer of 2023 and MIKU went bankrupt. The company that bought them tried to salvage it by including a $10/month subscription for everything except for the main camera function (which they cannot legally remove). And the way they tried to enforce it is by pushing an app update that blocks said features. I just went on APK Mirror and downloaded the previous version and turned off auto updates. And everything works perfectly. Thank you android and thank you APK Mirror.

    Drinvictus ,

    It's not the tools its the artist. Of course there is hard work and practice involved but that question implies that, with the right tools, anyone can create the same art.

    Drinvictus ,

    Sorry but their prices are out of this world.

    Drinvictus ,

    Yeah but self hosting comes with a lot of risks. You need to spend time to back up to another hard drive every now and then otherwise you're just risking your precious memories. I tried out immich (which is amazing btw, kudos to the dev) but it just doesn't feel dependable for the long term.

    Drinvictus ,

    What do you miss the most?

    Drinvictus ,

    $50 a year for 100 gigs? Holy shit

    Drinvictus , (edited )

    Still the most selling phone by far.

    Edit: people downvote the weirdest shit. Like this isn't even an opinion it's a fact.

    Drinvictus ,

    Sure it is. Try telling that to the average iPhone buyer.
