That’s why I use Copilot.

Asked it for the official documentation, got a link to the /current/ documentation’s chapter on operators. Then asked for the heading about the IN operator and it gave me all four of the numbers. No need to wade through outdated or irrelevant results.

Depends on what the purpose of the button is.

A setting should show the current state, but an action (referring to the play button example) should show the state it’ll transition to.

Maybe in comparison to the US layout? I’m not having any trouble with them.

If you mean the [] (and {}), they just use the right alt key, which is close enough to them.

I just use the Swiss keyboard layout. Here’s an image from Wikipedia.

Don’t have any experience with any others.

that blocks your bank or even some games if your phone is rooted

That’s your bank and those games, not Google.

The games are obviously afraid of cheating/hacking. For the bank it’s about your account’s security. Root access gives a lot of power to potentially malicious actors, it’s definitely not weird for them to not work if your phone is rooted.

Antitrust is about powerful companies abusing their powerful positions. With powerful I mean control over a market.

The idea is that if society is functionally dependent on a product, it shouldn’t be the case that the owning company abuses that position to force people into walled gardens.

While it’s of course still bad if a smaller company does it, the amount of people impacted will be lesser, so it’s not seen as critically important to take action against it. So that’s why antitrust laws only target the big ones.

I do absolutely disagree with Apple not being big enough though. iOS has a 30% market share in the mobile OS market according to statcounter, that ought to be big enough imo.

I’m pretty sure they were using sarcasm.

For example, I finally learned how something works after months of trying to wrap my head around it. Didn’t end up using it for a few months more, and now I forgot it again. I’m back to square one, trying to relearn things I already learned.

If this is such a frequent problem, start writing down what you’ve learnt. Get a notetaking app (my personal choice is obsidian) and record any knowledge that took you work to acquire. Then next time you need it you can just check your notes and there it is, instead of having to put all that work into it again.

With regular search, I have to look through all kinds of results before I find something, and often I have to adjust my search parameters until the search engine even understands what I’m looking for.

The AI still needs me to actually confirm what it’s saying, but that’s checking 1-3 links, not entire search result pages.

It’s also just waaaaay easier to talk to my search engine in natural language than keywords imo. I never know what keywords get me to my intended destination, I guess the difference is less big for people that do.

The great thing about Bing Chat compared to other chatbots is that it sources its claims. I always check the sources before trusting it.

I got a response from them on Reddit:

We didn’t know which platform would take off, and we were nervous that because Kbin and Lemmy are so similar one platform might shut down in some sort of consolidation down the road. Also when we made them, each had very serious drawbacks for our media (Lemmy needs a lot of clicking to access the media, while kbin turned any media that wasn’t in a 3:4 aspect ratio into a funhouse mirror.) So each of us took a community and somewhere down the line we’ll re-evaluate.

they are blocked in Australia, UK, Ireland, Iran and Afghanistan

Seems to be blocked for a friend from the philippines too iirc. Combined with other replies saying they can access it from some of these, I assume that list is outdated.

Boost is Mastodon’s version of Twitter’s retweets. It acts as the upvote here, but that’s an oversight and going to be changed.

Not sure what boost actually does on kbin other than acting as an upvote though, I just use it as an equivalent to saving a post on Reddit. Maybe it’s connected to follows.
