Certain types of tweets tend to go away more often than others. More than 40% of tweets written in Turkish or Arabic are no longer visible on the site within three months of being posted.

I've read this is a major problem in Facebook as well, they lack good moderation for these languages and especially the Arabic script and so just remove things heavy handedly to be safe.

It doesn't matter if you think CEO's can be replaced easily. It matters what company boards think and it isn't many people. Also who they are willing to replace. Most of the board members probably have a close relationship with the ceo. Not so the burger flipper.

Nothing fundamentally wrong with AI search. I've found Kagi's AI to be unobtrusive and helpful. That article is a bit of a nothingburger.

@morrowind@lemmy.ml avatar

I'm aware of a lot of the fake AI scandals, but it doesn't apply here. Google has good models and human workers cannot go through your results in real time

I don't, but its good to know what's happening over there

Then don't use it. The regular search is still good

Dude the pandemic was amazing for devs, tech companies hiring like mad, really easy to get your foot in the door. Now, between all the layoffs and AI it is hellish

Google Search is getting even worse for independent sites (www.theverge.com)

In February, HouseFresh managing editor Gisele Navarro called out publishers like BuzzFeed and Rolling Stone as some of the culprits that publish content about air purifiers despite a lack of expertise — but Google rewards these sites with high rankings all the same. The result is a search results page filled with SEO-first...

Verge is generally a good site, but this article adds nothing

No, it is indeed more likely to be seen via online text, as most people do not have irl contact with OP nor their phone number

"Off the rails" is clearly an idiom in this scenario, and the "rails" are a metaphor for the original line ideation, which has been lost.

I wonder in enough platforms outside of mastodon decided to follow the spec instead of whatever mastodon does, maybe we could peer pressure it back into normalcy?

Rule of thumb is don't judge anyone by their discord

Spreading out the internet across infrastructure nodes that can be cooled by fans in smaller data centers or even home server labs is much more efficient than monstrous, monolithic datacenters that are stealing all our H2O

  1. I mean this just isn't true though, the big
    servers are more efficient. Scale means efficiency.

  2. The fediverse is also just more inefficient than a centralized service. Part of this is due to the design of activitypub, but part of it is the inherent inefficiency of any decentralized service compared to a centralized one

  3. Also this doesn't happen in practice, most fediverse accounts are on servers running on rented cloud services, not people's homelabs

Note-taking app that looks too good to be true? - Siyuan

Recently stumbled upon this note-taking app called SiYuan, but it honestly looks a bit too good to be true(?). Has anyone here used it or got any experience with it? Trying to replace Obsidian is a difficult task, and I've been through almost all note-taking apps there are out there, however this one looks fairly similar....

morrowind ,
@morrowind@lemmy.ml avatar

I've tried it on and off. It appears to have more potential than obsidian in some ways, but obsidian's plain text files are hard to beat^1^. If you're willing to put in more effort into your notetaking, especially if you're a programmer, it may be worth it. It has nowhere near the plugin ecosystem at the moment obviously, not being as popular.

Compared to logseq, which I haven't tried super extensively, resource usage and performance are much better, on par with obsidian.

Also a lot of the interface and plugins are in chinese, so if you don't read that it can be a bit of a pain.

[1] siyuan is markdown too but but it's stored in a database, not your filesystem.

Those mfs have got a way to go if they're setting up free antiviruses. Free anti-virsus will hurt your system probably more on average than actual viruses

Well at least I got the full suite now, and hopefully they won’t force subscriptions on existing users.

Probably not, that would cause too much bad PR. They'll just make it more and more inconvenient to keep your prepaid suite until most users switch over

What makes it bad on mac? On windows I find both krita and inkscape mediocre UI's but idk how much of that is the toolkit, and how much just small open source teams not having time for ui/ux

Graphite has interesting ideas but I'm no fan of the web first focus.

Plus every time I've tried, their raster editing has absolutely horrible performance.

Superapps are hot garbage and should be banned.

What the hell. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it should be banned

Context matters. This is an appropriate statement to make to someone who has enough to live a comfortable life but is always chasing more. But to say it to someone struggling to make ends meet is just incredibly disrespectful.

how can something be so courageous and yet so true (slrpnk.net)

Edit: Jesus Christ, people. If you buy a $150 Thinkpad made by slave labor instead of a $1,200 MacBook made by slave labor, you're still supporting a capitalist economy based on slave labor. We all do. We have no choice. The number of smug liberals in the comments saying "well I buy a cheap used laptop" or "well I buy coffee...
