I think the equivalent is actually Amazon’s main website sharing to friends your Audible purchases in the hopes it can get you to join Audible

True, but w/ a caveat at the bottom:

At the end of the day, you have to remember that Apple devices are essentially a sealed unit. Any claims they make about privacy cannot be proven - they could slip tracking and keyloggers into every device, and unless you build a device from scratch and program it yourself, there’s nothing you can do about it. You have to trust that they won’t do that, and Apple is in a relatively unique position (particularly compared to google and facebook) in that the business isn’t designed to profit from this, so they have no real reason to do so.

This was actually the least-biased coverage of the day:

This post seemed to put things in context a bit better as it sounds like Google’s two-proxy hopping is what Apple does as well:

The difference (AFAIK) is that Apple’s business is less-centered around profiting off users’ data, so they’re less liable to use the data, while Google will almost certainly use the data.

Curious to hear more opinions. I think there are technical nuances that I don’t quite understand based on reading this comment (& subsequent replies)

Gotcha. Thanks for sharing. I ended up install forgejo yesterday but Gitea will be my next option if I encounter any issues

I’ve used it for a few months. I enjoy the idea of updating my progress after each reading session, so that hypothetically, I can see how fast I read.

Very familiar UI over there. Creating an acct now

Fan of firefish but I will say the main, most popular instance (firefish.social) has been buggy for me for months. Often my feed/notifications won’t load, or I have trouble replying to comments. Or I can’t react to posts or open up fediverse posts. Real dealbreakers.

I’m going to try a different instance but otherwise I will likely move my acct to Mastodon.

Convenience is the main issue. AFAIK, as long as you secure your device, it’ll do the job

I agree with you and was also thinking that maybe waiting X days/weeks before publishing would be the solution.

What I don’t like about the article is that the phrasing ‘paying off’ can apply to making investors money OR having worthwhile use cases. AI has created plenty of use cases from language learning to code correction to companionship to brainstorming, etc.

It seems ironic that a consumer-facing website is framing things from a skeptical “But is it making rich people richer?” perspective

At my old job, we had a VBA script that would:

1. Pull client data from SQL
2. Load data into an Excel file
3. Update charts and KPIs
4. Copy/Paste chart and KPIs into PowerPoint
5. Switch to the next client
6. Repeat steps 1-5 for +100 clients

Thirty page custom reports per client within 2 minutes (when nothing broke). It allows you to interact and automate across the Microsoft Suite. That is one of the reasons why it is indispensable to many companies

Skimmed as well and must’ve skipped the paragraph that had that sentence 😅

If the Circuit Attorney says that he’s on a list where he can’t be trusted to bring cases to court, then why is he still prosecuting criminals if the case will fall apart in court?

I don’t understand why he still allowed to operate as a detective.

Depending on your privacy concerns, ChatGPT might be an option. Check YouTube for reviews and how to create a course outline

Positive psychological impact of sunlight is my guess

lmao

Not a huge deal, but if the SSD goes on to last for X more years, buying an SSD today to save a bit of time will seem pretty poorly thought-out in retrospect

The immigrant situation is extremely complex, but it’s becoming increasingly clear that Adams is a opportunistic fuck w/ no morals
