They’re FOSS competence porn...

That may be the best most detailed description I've ever seen in three words. Sounds like it could be interesting

Apple (slrpnk.net)

I don't care if anyone has a Xiaomi, Oneplus, Samsung, etc. Each brand is using a modified version of Android, and they chose to be compatible with each other. But for example the "blue vs green bubble" drama is a thing specifically because of Apple locking their unsuspecting users into a closed ecosystem. And it sure isn't...

It absolutely is real.

peers being frustrated because I have an android... being left out of group chats because people don't wanna break their existing imessage groups... having to constantly bother people about not sending videos/images over text because they become a blurry mess... frequently apologizing just for having an android...

And also a general awareness I've developed that I have been left out of things... harder to know because, well, I was left out.

Mind you I am probably in the single worst location for this in terms of mindshare. By my unscientific observation, ~0.5% of students had an android at my school.

They're kids and plus most of it is subconscious. None of them are mean or anything about it. I can assure if I was to ask them, they'd all say it's totally fine and they don't mind at all and they understand, but still they end up sending one less text because they have negative feelings associated with it and thus their brain brings it up a little less.

Maybe nobody working gives a shit right now, but if this is how the kids are growing up, it's gonna keep becoming a bigger problem

X is becoming a 'ghost town' of bots as AI-generated spam content floods the internet — A sign of the scale is the thriving industry in bot-making::The internet is filling up with machine-generated "zombie content" designed to game algorithms and scam humans. Experts call it the "great AI flood".

Surprisingly good article. It's getting depressing just how much of the internet is bots

    "deprioritizing" does not explain all of the mentioned decisions. Plus there are still many cases for which there are no alternatives that work similarly. The article is factual and google has plenty of incentive to kill open standards like rss

    morrowind ,
    @morrowind@lemmy.ml avatar

    Why not? That's based on the current system of websites loading in third party ad providers. If you include the ads in the article/have sponsors etc. they will come through the rss.

    It's not perfect, but newsletters are making do it with just fine. I read a couple newsletters with them but make no effort to remove them like I do with web articles, because they are not disruptive, inappropriate, heavy or privacy invasive.

    I don't get the hate against algorithms, they're just a tool, can be good and bad

    morrowind ,
    @morrowind@lemmy.ml avatar

    recommendation algorithms are fine too, the problem with modern social media is algorithms tuned for engagement.

    morrowind ,
    @morrowind@lemmy.ml avatar

    Whatever algorithms youtube, tiktok, instagram etc. use to drive engagement. They don't have any names that I'm aware of

    I get lost in the crisp information density.

    Man you're gonna hate this thing called the real world. I hear the pixels are mere nanometers across

    Oh like too saturated and colorful. Yeah I get that

    Man we've lost something along the way. When did our jobs become purely a means of money and contributing nothing to society.

    Artstation doesn’t let you filter out AI art

    There was also some issues about if artstation is allowing AI to be trained on what you upload.

    They seem to have fixed it https://magazine.artstation.com/2022/12/noli-tag/

    When you tag your projects with “NoAI” ArtStation will automatically assign an HTML “NoAI” meta tag. This will explicitly disallow the use of your content by AI systems. We’ve also updated our Terms of Service to prohibit companies from using NoAI-tagged content to train AI art generators.

    We’ve added an account setting you can use to tag all of your current and future projects as NoAI.

    It mostly won from my understanding. I'm not sure what you mean by "account wide" though. This is for an individual search

    I really liked logseq but it is staggeringly heavy for a fancy note taking app, uses some wierd markup and the forced bullets are restrictive.

    But I really liked its structure, much simpler than things like anytype, but just as powerful.

    Github is not a two sided market, enshittification does not apply. They make all their money from users.
