  • If you actually care what other people think only looking at Rotten Tomatoes is a mistake. I typically use Letterboxd with an extension that adds in many other sites

  • The title is an incomplete sentence

  • A spokesperson for TikTok told the BBC that it had increased its investment “in efforts to ensure reliable information can be found on TikTok”, launching a “UK Election Centre with a fact-checking expert” and adopting an “industry-leading AI labelling technology”.

    I doubt this will move the needle. Ultimately TikTok was not built for news & politics specifically, and it seems like a robust fact-checking system would lead to less engagement overall. So it's at odds with their primary objective

  • Alternatively, it could be very frustrating for people who need it. Computer-generated translations are often very bad compared to human ones, and image recognition adds another layer of complexity that will very likely lack nuance. It could create a false sense of accessibility with bad alt-text, and could make it more difficult to spot real alt-text if it isn't being tagged or labeled as AI generated

  • Not at all: any company that wants to operate in a given country, has to follow that country’s laws, whether they like them or not.

    Maybe in theory but not in practice. See: illegal dumping, tax evasion, labor violations, and many other things

  • The idea of breaking up a company is to make the space more competitive. Theoretically if YouTube had a proper competitor, then the decision to honor Kremlin requests would be more complicated, since it could lead to a loss of market share

  • When I tried that the button takes a photo and asks me where to save the JPG. But then when I select a folder it errs saying the image doesn't exist.

    I guess I'll stick with the stock camera app

  • To be clear, here's a screenshot. I'm on a Pixel 5 running Android 11. I checked the default apps page in settings but there's not an option for photos unfortunately.

  • RE: Open Camera

    Not seeing an option to remap the photos button (bottom right) from opening Google Photos

  • As far as the survival aspects go I prefer Frostpunk. Though that's not as replayable. Both are quite solid and come highly recommended

  • Sorry folks this was a joke not a serious question

  • Looks like it's Google, Facebook, or GitHub.

  • Just to clarify, Ente supports iOS and Android, and has a web portal for desktop access. I also see on their README: "For adding or managing your secrets, please use our mobile app." So the web portal only seems to provide read-only access. That's very different than a native desktop app like Authy used to support.

    IMO, if you're going to expose your 2FA to the internet, you might as well go all-in on an internet-based solution. If you're in the market for that, there's plenty of options. A lot of the password managers support 2FA now (Bitwarden, Proton Pass, 1Password). If you don't want your passwords and 2FA stored in the same place, you could use one manager to keep passwords and another for 2FA.

    If you want more privacy-oriented options...

    • KeePass or KeePassXC with a syncing service like Syncthing or Nextcloud
    • Keeweb (no updates in 2 years, looking for a new maintainer)
  • Welp, that sucks. I guess maybe if Notion veers into privacy that'd be a win, but difficult to see that future. Their new "Notion Calendar" requires Google Calendar.

  • It's unclear whether this is exclusively endorsing Democratic candidates or not. I'd be more interested if it wasn't exclusive to a single party.

  • Huh, that's not a very long support window. Looks like Google's support ended in Oct 2023

  • Thanks for sharing your experience! I've been thinking about doing this too on a similar device. Although I watched this video recently which made me start looking at alternatives. I believe the lead developer stepped down though.

  • Didn't realize they had rebranded from Snapchat. I don't think I'd trust their hardware

  • Check My Ads has been doing a lot of impactful investigations and reporting recently. They're a 501c3 non-profit so I encourage people to donate: https://checkmyads.org/membership/

  • This puts Nikki Haley in an interesting position. If she continues the 1-on-1 with Trump, it's basically doubling-down on Trump losing or having a bad term to bolster her credibility down the line.
