Ahhhh nothing like some good enshitification

Isn’t the constitution the New New Testament.

I think what you just described is the electoral college

Wouldn’t the YouTube creator need to see views for ad revenue? Are they removing them for viewers or creators too?

USB-C has been out for years. The only issue IMO is that since USB-C negotiates power delivery, it might not be as easy to split out a USB-C port into multiple USB-C ports. Spitting USB-A ports is easy since they only do 5V, and spitting USB-C into multiple USB-A ports should be fine. But if your peripherals all become USB-C, you might find yourself running out of ports fast.

I am not an expert. I probably got something wrong there, but that’s my understanding.

I think it’s more about design. Apple is a company that has set a high standard for design and premium looking/feeling products. I understand that it still works, but I also think it’s not the best design. It’s just not the expectation Apple has set as a brand. Same goes for the mouse that charges on the bottom.

On one hand, I’m happy that Apple is breaking away from some of their earlier values (e.g. recently allowing for more iOS customization) but I do appreciate how well designed their products tend to be. I hope they don’t get sloppy with future products. So yeah, it’s just a silly power button, but it just seems out of character for their brand.

Hold up. Azure runs on Linux? Lol could have guessed that, but still is funny.

I’ve heard Costco has a better return policy

There has to be some way that we could have created the architecture to do everything a phone does without letting a user be triangulated easily.

I know there is no incentive to do that, but it amazes me how far ahead the security of the web is compared to phone tech.

Like maybe if phones could authenticate without broadcasting a unique identifier. And maybe they could open a vpn style encrypted tunnel and perform their auth over that tunnel.

Idk, I know nothing about phones, but it has to be possible.

In new to lemmy. Curious what the significance of ml and world are? Do you mean those TLDs or just lemmy.ml and lemmy.world specifically

…after which, they will remove all search results once and for all in favor of other low quality ads. ln the process, they are redefining “search engine” as search box that spews only AI generated garbage disguised as search results. And they can get away with this since everyone googles word definitions instead of picking up a dictionary, so technically they are still a “search engine” by their own definition.

I’m also a software engineer, but much earlier in my career and mostly having worked at small startups. But I hope some of the tech giants fall and make way for smaller players and innovation. But maybe that’s too optimistic.

This is insane. Idk what google is thinking.

I’m pretty sure they discovered in the google monopoly case that google realized a couple years ago that a worse search experience would not negatively impact their bottom line. So makes sense

I don’t think it summarizes single texts. Maybe really long ones? But “stacks” of texts, it will summarize.

It’s summarized an any “stack” of notifications. So a bunch of messages from the same group chat, or a single app sending you a bunch of notifications, etc.

I’ve only been trying it for like 48 hours, but so far I’m impressed considering this is a local LLM running on my phone.

It’s been a year or so since I’ve gone down this rabbit hole, but what I remember, the more you block ads and tracker, the more unique your browser becomes, and the more fingerprintable it is.

Tor’s approach is to make every instance if the tor browser look as identical as possible to websites. But Tor is pretty niche. If Apple did the same with Safari, you would be an identical device in a match larger pool of devices.

I think Apple has taken some measures, but not as well as Tot has.

Btw it’s possible to fingerprint people with JavaScript disabled. I found this article explaining and demonstrating if you’re curious.
