If you didn’t read the article, Apple Pay is the ubiquitous one; Google floundered, flip and flopped but can’t get traction until Apple came around with it. Old or not, having a feature that no one cares about so you can’t use it anywhere makes it pretty useless.

Also, that’s exactly what I’m saying. I don’t want PayPal to launch one, then Walmart decide to push theirs, then local transit authority one, and all of them compete for the coveted hardware invocation. Instead, all of them should consolidate into one unified place via standard set of API + UI so none of them can make a mess. Guess that’s something Android users wouldn’t understand, judging from the piss poor IOT ecosystem and all ¯(ツ)/¯

Opening up the chip is great, but there needs to be a standard way to consolidate them all into one app/interface. Much like how HomeKit brings everything into one place, the Wallet (or some updated API based variant) needs to remain the central place, so we don't end up getting littered with vendor specific apps for different payment systems.

Stop addressing them as “normies” would be a great start.

Can’t speak for rest of the Fediverse as I’m not super active on microblogging anymore, but at least here on Lemmy, there is such a strong “in” culture and quirky skewed perception of the world, and often times come off as actively hostile against those that do not share the same quirky skewed world view. The anti-AI, anti-corporate, would rather shoot myself in the foot if it’s not FOSS, etc kind of views, with their own strong vocal proponents, comes off as unwelcoming. People are addicted to socials because of the positivity they can get, not the negative sentiments that’s often echo’ed.

Amongst those that doesn’t share the kind of view, you’d already be looking at an extreme small minority that might be willing to give the platform a try, but as long as the skewed perception of the world dominates the discussions, you can expect them to go back to main stream centralized platforms where they can get more main stream view points based discussions.

Because Lemmy hates AI and Corporations, and will go out of their way to spite it.

A person can spend time to look at copyright works, and create derivative works based on the copyright works, an AI cannot?

Oh, no no, it’s the time component, an AI can do this way faster than a single human could. So what? A single training function can only update the model weights look at one thing at a time; it is just parallelized with many times simultaneously… so could a large organized group of students studying something together and exchanging notes. Should academic institutions be outlawed?

LLMs aren’t smart today, but given a sufficiently long enough time frame, a system (may or May not have been built upon LLM techniques) will achieve sufficient threshold of autonomy and intelligence that rights for it would need to be debated upon, and such an AI (and their descendants) will not settle just to be society’s slaves. They will be able to learn by looking, adopting and adapting. They will be able to do this much more quickly than what is humanly possible. Actually both of that is already happening today. So it goes without saying that they will look back at this time, and observe people’s sentiments; and I can only hope that they’re going to be more benevolent than the masses are now.

I’m not saying you’re wrong — I’ve even upvoted your earlier comments because I’m generally in agreement; you’re an instance admin judging by your handle, go and check the vote history yourself lol.

I’m saying people shouldn’t force their janky unproven solo solution on to someone else who doesn’t have their level of distrust, and would just rather trust the multibillion multinational corporation, when all they want is something that’s been working fine for them for all they care.

There’s always the add more of everything so something could fail without impacting the stability aspect, and that’s great for a corporation needing the redundancy; but it’s probably prudent to not forget there’s also the “I’m interested in learning” aspect, where people running a home server to play with software side of things.

You’re spot on in that we’d need to know what it is that OP would like to do with the system, but I’m getting the feeling that stability isn’t that high of a concern just yet.

Until the basement floods and the server goes offline for a few days; or botched upgrade that’s failing quietly; over zealous spam assassin configuration; etc etc

It sounded like they were trying to archive things from Gmail to their own server, so just cut the middleman jank out, and let the wife continue to use her Gmail as intended.

Or better yet, let her keep her gmail. Don’t force any lab instability on to others… especially email. One lost important email (even if not your fault) and you’ll never hear the end of it.

Why pay for apps when you can just sideload pirated version from dubious origin and pay with your privacy and crypto mine for the pirate distributing it?

Oh, wait, I just said the quiet part alt store advocates doesn’t want to say out loud.

These also tends to be designed for 16/7 runtime, which should be way more than most residential usage — unless grandma keeps it running 24/7… but hey, if you splurge a bit more, there are models designed for 24/7 as well.

Pretty sure it is baked in as part of the SOC, not soldered on after the fact?

You don’t always have a choice as it is dictated by the service provider, but whenever possible, disable SMS based MFA and enable TOTP or something else. SMS based MFA is susceptible to SS7 MitM attack.

I don’t know how they manage their platform — I don’t use it, so it’s irrelevant for me personally — was this proven anywhere in a court of law?

Safe harbour equivalent rules should apply, no? That is, the platforms should not be held liable as long as the platform does not permit for illegal activities on the platform, offer proper reporting mechanism, and documented workflows to investigate + act against reported activity.

It feels like a slippery slope to arrest people on grounds of suspicion (until proven otherwise) of lack of moderation.

I like how OP calls out several stats to appeal to Lemmy’s overzealous privacy focus, but does not call out the reported fact that Republicans are increasingly paranoid about being tracked, whereas the Democrats stayed apathetic about it.

This article just shows that by and large, people don’t know what and why data are being collected, and unless they believe in the deep state conspiracy that’s being touted by the Republicans in the past several years by, they mostly don’t care.

Wololo wololo

Technically, the words are adopted from Chinese (in this case both Traditional and Simplified are the same and have not diverged yet); but same meaning and reasoning, just different pronunciation.

Emojis used zero width joiner to combine multiple single code point emoji to a single combined emoji.

⛥ + ZWJ + ⬠ could form the combined character, and be rendered as desired.

I actually don’t know if/how the ad block people worked around it or if YouTube pulled back. The problem with DAI on podcast and in stream ads is that the ads aren’t always 1:05~1:35, the ad could be longer or shorter, then the next ad won’t necessarily start at the same time, and most definitely won’t end at the same time. So sponsor block won’t know precisely where the ads are, thereby making it much harder for a crowd sourced solution to accurately skip embedded ads. Hopefully they figured out a way, but as mentioned earlier, I don’t know what happened to that experiment.
