Agreed. This needs to be the expectation before Apple's Vision platform launches as well. Imagine if apple tried to sell an expensive new Mac that can't run anything but iPadOS. That's basically what's happening with the Vision Pro.

Probably too much privacy.

Edit: Clearly my comment was merely an appraisal of Apple's privacy practices and not at all about Chinese Government privacy standards.

As a teacher, an iPad with a pencil connected to a classroom projector is so much more clean, wieldy, and resourceful than a laptop/smart-board or just using a regular board with markers. The biggest issue is audio, though. Since apple removed the headphone jack on this model, I've pretty much lost the ability to do audio with visuals in most classroom setups I've encountered.

Unless it happens to you, right?

The mildly infuriating aspect about this post is that hot honey exists and I don’t have access to it. I need that for my chicken nuggets.

If Apple's iMessage does fall under the DMA ruleset, it means Apple will be required to open iMessage to third-party operators.

What does this look like in practice?

Except nobody figured out what to do with all that “intelligence” after draining it. Probably just let it all go like a fart in the wind.

Brain television!

Soapbox opinion time. Post spamming to parallel communities across instances is antithetical to federation.

Post spamming discourages users from federating with parallel communities on federated instances because users who do end up with feeds congested with duplicate posts. This encourages unsubscribing which results in reduced engagement across communities and isn’t fair to other contributors who choose not to post spam. The alternative would be to block the post spammer, which wouldn’t be ideal either, since articles are often still worth reading.

If a post spammer is concerned about visibility from defederated instances, then I suggest using an instance that federates to more instances. Furthermore, please respect an instance’s choice to defederate from yours if that’s where you choose to be. If your instance was defederated from another, that means the users there do not want to see any posts from your instance, even if you think they do.

I implore post spammers to reconsider the logic behind their actions, as the impact on the fediverse is more negative than positive.

Trollfare between popular instances leads to irl confrontations and wild accusations spread across media. Throwing illegal content up onto adversarial instances in community raids becomes a standard way of "swatting" that instance and getting it taken down and posted across the news. Governments start taking over major instances and using it to disseminate fake news and propaganda leading to further polarization and confrontation. Governments set up their own instances with communities for various branches of government. Eventually joining any federated instance requires a government federation account, and your citizenship status dictates where and to what extent you're allowed to participate. Spies are sent into various instances to try and gain political power and influence. Corporations buy up all the biggest instances and eventually the software it runs on. All data is collected and sold.

I don't think this matters. If they are defederated from an instance you post in, then they determined that they don't want to see what gets posted there. Why is it so important to reach everyone?

(To be fair, I think you should be able to post the same thing 10 times if you really want to, I just wish the site I use had a feature that would just automatically pool all posts with identical headings or links into a single post, then treat it like a mini community/magazine.)

The 2S would have been my dream device if it existed when I bought my first retroid. I'd like to see those triggers and analog sticks land on a device with the 3's form factor.

If anyone is interested, I have a Retroid community on kbin.social. OP, feel free to post this video over there if you like. I was going to post it myself, but I'll wait another day if you or someone else want to do it.

There are some handy guides and links there, hopefully it all federates across alright.

Currently sitting at about 150 members but more contributors are always welcome.

I wonder if this was spurred on by the fact that 360 backwards compatibility hamstrung their ability to profit from a lazy port of RDR being sold at a full $60 on other platforms. Best just remove people’s ability to buy anything from that generation in case it happens again.

Galileo’s LLM would tell him that

Assuming the sources used for training were the correct ones.

LLMs are only as “fact based” as the data they source. An LLM in the time of Galileo would have told you the earth is flat.

They aren’t watching, but they are recording so they can watch later at their leisure and skip the commercials.

OP should have been standing when telling others what to do. It takes only a second, and it's better for their figure. Stand up, commit. That's it.

The name is blatantly misleading. The very definition of the term "incognito" means having one's true identity concealed, so I can't blame anyone with comprehension of the English language for being misled at a glance. However, like anyone else here, I do not expect this to lead to any actual progress toward more privacy.

I'm really liking Kbin, but I do think the microblogging end of things could do with some refining. Most of the time I forget that it's there.
