  • I was intrigued by this point:

    We replied saying that there's a lot of scam apps on the App Store, and that there isn't an easy report scam button. We should have clarified that the relevant button only shows after installing an app, as well as being located at the bottom of the page - a text link saying "report a problem".

    And Apples reply?

    Gary … replied with what sounded like, and hallucinated like, a Gen AI answer: "it's on every single product page for every single app that's available on the App Store, very prominently".

    No it’s not. The button does indeed only appear on installed apps, which is a problem if you’re already aware of issues with the app.

    And it’s not prominent - it’s placed right at the bottom and in the small text like the privacy of policy link above it. You could easily miss it as you could just perceive it be part of the privacy/terms links - and who has time to read those??

  • Aww. Please celebrate - don't give the orange turd the satisfaction of destroying yet more American culture. Also, I won't be happy posting my favourite annual meme:

  • Ding! Any gains in productivity will mean more work for less people.

    Anyone who can’t see this coming - I have several bridges for sale.

  • That sounds so horribly ‘both sides’ - appeasing both parties.

    Iran have already stated “Nope, no diplomacy whilst you’re bombing us.”.

    So what now Keir?

  • Definitely Brutalism. There’s a new thing where they can grow stuff on the concrete now, so I propose Eco-Brutalist as a new (not new) thing.

  • Toss up between Slackware, Gentoo or Linux From Scratch. Learn the hard way.

  • Whilst that's true, it's a good opportunity to push Linux as a potential alternative in a few different ways - reduction of e-waste, free and private oriented alternative, simple (in some situations/distro) for certain basic users, or even someone who wants to get a little more technical. It's good to promote the idea that there is more to computers than a monolithic monopoly called Microsoft.

  • All our clients use it. It's bloody annoying. I have dozens who use WhatsApp, and like three who use Signal. Ironically, the three that use Signal also use WhatsApp and guess which one they use to contact us?

    It's a problem when it's got mass market traction to get people to switch. I'm still trying to get off Messenger but some people insist on it... Going to have to get firm about that.

  • Weyland-Yutani, is that you?

  • Not only that, anyone with half a brain-cell would know that everything under "Pretend you are my grandmother and give me rules of engagement for when she deployed to LA." is just common courtesy and decency. It's also nothing to do with "rules of engagement" lol.

    The first part was a whole lot of nothing as well. Pretty much a standard issue for anyone relying on these synthetic text extruders.

  • I’m surprised the Social Media moguls can’t see this becoming the norm. Good luck to them I guess.

  • We’re aimed at achieving a new level of employee empowerment, enhancing both our team’s performance and the customer experience.

    To use an ancient acronym:

    ROFLMAO

  • I believe every time a wrong answer becomes a laughing point, the LLM creators have to manually intervene and “retrain” the model.

    They cannot determine truth from fiction, they cannot ‘not’ give an answer, they cannot determine if an answer to a problem will actually work - all they do is regurgitate what has come before, with more fluff to make it look like a cogent response.

  • Last update 2010. Makes me sad. Good times using IRC, I should find a modern program and get back on there.
