How does Google Chat's new bottom bar fit in with Material You?

  • Wtf is Google Chats

    • You must pick a point in human history before the 1950s to be spend the rest of your life in. What era and place would you choose?

    • Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer released early by rockstar after it was supposedly leaked

    Jump

  • GTA makes a killing by parodying conspiracy theory nutjobs, maybe Rockstar can make an NPC character based off of you.

    • You should

  • If you actually want that cat it's Uni

    • What video games have high quality fan-made wiki pages?

    Jump

  • Doom wiki is great

    • Google Maps rolls out new colors on Android, iOS, and web

    Jump

  • I remember TomTom was starting to pick up in my country with their dedicated GPS units for cars and then the iPhone came and destroyed them all

    • Firefox is giving Android users a sneak peek at its open extensions

    Jump

  • So is there a reason you bitching that a privacy invasive company is being by a less privacy invasive one so the product can be less privacy invasive? I can't understand this weird "Oh I'm so smart" gotcha.

    • Why Bother With uBlock Being Blocked In Chrome? Now Is The Best Time To Switch To Firefox

    Jump

  • I mean you can do that and use Firefox, it's not going to hurt.

    • Local pop radio station is using its metadata to spread anti Biden propaganda

    Jump

  • that would mean anyone going to http:// will perceive as the server being down so what you are saying will not work in practice

    Jump

  • Funniest thing I've ever seen is the docs for Nginx do the same, no http to https redirection. I mean, you would hope that the maintainers for the biggest web server in the world would be able to manage that but somehow... No they don't.

    • From the Middle Out - Silicon Valley

    Jump

  • Whoops guess I never replied for this

    Few examples I can think of in the show:

    • There's many technologies shown were more impressive for their time. Jian Yang's hot dog/not hot dog app or the joke that we were mislead to believe, that it would pick an object and identify what that object is is would genuinely have been more impressive at the release of the episode and not so much now. There's things like drones, AI where at release you thought "wow imagine a future with these" compared to now where the future for these has actually arrived.
    • IIRC the last season starts with Richard Hendriks testifying in court, and it's a big reference to Zuckerberg doing the same for I think the Cambridge Analytica scandal? The moment would be lost today
    • Lots of things around the opening sequence which changed per season as companies got acquired and died, you saw that and said "Oh yeah that happened!" vs now you might just say "Oh yeah. that happened".

    Then there's things not in the show that would date itself like the shift to remote working post pandemic, or the massive focus companies are giving mobile now which again wasn't as big as at release of the show. I bet Gavin Belson trying to micromanage remote workers or something around the short form video craze we have would have been important plot points if the show came out now.

    I'm not saying it's a bad show to watch now, it's just something which is more impactful to watch at release

    • From the Middle Out - Silicon Valley

    Jump

  • It's a great series but sadly I think it dates itself far too much with the references, jokes, and plot lines. A person who started watching in 2023 probably won't enjoy it as much as someone who did around the release. Unfortunately reality of making a show focused on tech.

    That said I would love a new season based on everything GenAI and GPT, it would be amazing.

    • Why do all the new TVs expect me to have a platform AS WIDE as the fucking thing?? Fucking shit!! God awful absolutely dumb thoughtless design choice

    Jump

  • How do you not do research on the dimensions of anything before buying something big like a TV?

    • Japan is on its own wavelength.

    Jump

  • YYYY-MM-DD for everything digital, DD-MM-YYYY for everything IRL.

    • ChatGPT, how do I use OCR in Word?

    Jump

  • Part of me wants AI to never evolve so it can keep making images like these forever.

    • Meta disbanded its Responsible AI team

    Jump

  • This is potentially misleading as we're not sure what it means. MS did something similar but it was to break up a centralised team and bring the AI ethics experts inside various teams. So rather than them coordinate with another team the AI ethics researchers are part of the same team.

  • Reminds me of when Firefox migrated to the Chrome style extension format (forgot what it's called), the old ones could change literally anything in FF and the new ones are limited by the APIs that Mozilla create. Yes the newer extensions are safer and don't crash the browser but don't have the same feature set as the original to this day.

    I think the obvious issue here is what is the actual purpose of the company driving the change, the engineers might be alright but the company... Can't trust Google with this.

    • Exciting news! The free API you were using is no more free!

    Jump

  • This is still reasonable IMO, unless people are binge watching a Netflix release in the entire day they can wait for the next day to download subs.

    • Distrochooser

  • Worked fine for me

    • Hikers rescued after following non-existent trail on Google Maps

  • I use Osmand for trails in the woods, it is decently accurate in my country and also has a ton of other features
