I mean, everyone has a type. Even Manson had a fanclub.

Still, 🤮.

Conde Nast doesn’t have an interest in driving away their readers, and AI bullshit absolutely will drive them away. They know this. Ken Fisher is the editorial lead for AI at Conde Nast (not just Ars), and said as much in the comment section.

AI is absolutely fucking things up on a grand scale in all sorts of industries, but as of right now, Ars is relatively safe and I don’t think we need to inflate the scale of the danger.

Makes me miss /r/whatisthisthing.

Edit: I’m a complete dunce, I forgot !whatisthisthing@lemmy.world exists. I’m even subscribed.

I’m not so sure Ars has a vested interest in OpenAI. I actually read through 10 pages of comments. Ken Fisher was pretty active in them, and noted several times that Ars doesn’t see any of the money from this deal.

It’s literally a flag in the account settings.

That said, I think mass copying of Reddit content is the issue. Functionally, yes, Lemmy and Reddit are similar. But they do have different cultures/subcultures. Even within a given topic, when you have both a subreddit and a community, they will like and dislike slightly different things.

I think the solution would be for individual users to bring content (links, memes, etc. - not comments or entire threads) over that they found worthwhile, instead of bulk copying.

Related, with so many free ways to listen to music, by the time I’m spending money on music I’ve already decided it’s worth it. Maybe I’ve listened to it a ton. Maybe the lyrics speak to me. Maybe it’s just a particularly well composed piece of music. Either way, I’ve made the valuation of it being worth it before I spend the money.

Boost user checking in, also currently on .world but I’ve been on several and… it’s fine. No problems.

I used to use Sync, but the sporadic updates lead to rapidly piling bugs.

I have T-Mobile and don’t have this toggle, so it’s not all accounts.

Edit: Well, ain’t that some shit. I have it in the app, but not online.

That’s my daily. I like it enough that I bought a case and pack it when I travel for work.

Any app I’ve found that can do this requires rooting. Some ROMs include this by default.

Google does not include this setting.

I don’t think the design of the plane allows for it.

In fighters, it blows the canopy, triggers a rocket in the seat that gets the pilot clear of the disintegrating plane, and eventually deploys the chute.

These types of planes don’t have a canopy. They’re also much larger, which means it’s much more difficult to get clear.

That’s actually how I found AA. AP finally got shitty enough for me to bail a few months ago, so I googled to see where Rita went.

I’ve found Android Authority to be pretty decent. As a bonus, they have Rita!

Got me started on Feedly. Still haven’t left, although I’d be surprised if I still had more than a couple of the same feeds from then.

I think at some point someone paid me and I just never cashed it out. I think it was the default payment method for Google Play, so app subscriptions and whatnot just got charged against it until there was almost nothing left.

Oof. Big dumb. Thanks!

The fun part is you still can’t transfer out less than $1. I had 81¢. So I tried to transfer in 19¢ so I could transfer a whole $1 out.

Nope, can’t transfer in less than $10.

I was able to transfer in $10 so I can get my $10.81 out. But fuck, Google, if you’re the one shutting shit down, how about you let me transfer my money out regardless of how much/little there is?

If you want to have a stick up your ass…

It’s carbonation, not carbonization.

Rush Limbaugh in mom’s car, NPR in dad’s.

It was a weird dichotomy. Even as a kid, had a hard preference for NPR. I do feel like they’ve lost something in the last 6-8 years or so.
