They sell your data and don’t feel bad. Why should you feel bad about selling your data?

True story: I created this meme on r/adviceanimals back in the day. It had a ticker I made at the bottom of the image that’s been cropped back out (it was Reddit-themed and specific to the memes happening at the time so it makes sense someone cropped it at some point)

This interview makes me wonder what’s going to happen after he’s gone. You could say that he’s set up whoever succeeds him for a tough act to follow. But no one necessarily has to succeed him in any way.

Thanks for the tip! I’ve been looking for something like that. It’ll save me a lot of frustration

…he’s got me there

I’m working on a similar project right now with zero coding knowledge. I’ve been trying to find something like langchain all day. I built (by which I mean I coached GPT into building) a web scraper script that can interact with the web to perform searches and then parse the results, but the outputs are getting too big to manage in a hacked together terminal interface.

How are you doing the UI? That’s what I’m finding to be the biggest puzzle that isn’t fun to solve. I’ve been looking at react as a way to do it.

Settings > General > Aboot

Did it dump a disk image on your desktop? Click it and it’ll open a finder window. Grab the app icon and drop it into your applications folder.

Also I second the commenter who said install Linux on it. You’re going to need to hack it together anyway, may as well get the latest software in return

Well you managed to get the username aidan@lemmy.world before me, so that’s something

does this help?

Edit: just realized kbin isnt on there. Kbin is another Lemmy-affiliated site, but it also lets you see mastodon posts. You need a seperate kbin login to use it, but the site looks similar and behaves similarly to any Lemmy instance.

The iCloud support app? I’ll say it if you won’t. Apple needs to be shamed into doing something about that

I was going to say that sounds like something out of 30 Rock, but then I realized it should be because Comcast is Kabletown

Working at the morgue must have been tough

I have that big time. There are some things so big and unjust that a phone call cannot fix them, and they make me furious

This is the big downside to the Reddit implosion. I liked that Reddit had finally attracted normal people. If I want to know what a 30 year old dweeby white guy thinks about stuff, I’ll ask myself.

It takes a while for stuff like this to catch on outside of this specific demographic.

People who don’t care as much about tech aren’t going to bother to figure out the fediverse right now. It’s way too confusing, but Instagram/twitter/threads/reddit is right there.

Once a few apps get going on iOS and Android, and once it becomes way easier to join a server, then we’ll see normal people start trickling in.

@aidanamerica — still trying to find a niche (or at least people who want to see me talk about the varied things I’m interested in)

I create stuff but I’m too afraid to share it with people online because no one wants have someone’s YouTube video shoved at them. Except I also tend to write long, pointless comments like this one, so I guess I am a creator.

What part of threads could they even argue was stolen from Twitter? It’s an open source protocol plus Instagram logins. You think Facebook needed to hire people to tell them about how to post text on the internet?

This is why I refuse to take relationship advice from the internet. I wonder how many adults have gotten divorced because a teenager on Reddit told them to
