I just found this out naturally and immediately came to lemmy to see if someone's posted about it.

Seriously I don't want a reddit account and old.reddit.com without logging in has been a great way of checking up on the odd thing without having an account and being stuck in the dark patterns that keep you engaging

They developed a think button are you shitting me

100%. From the arstechnica piece:

Making Old Reddit users log in could impact Reddit scraping but also will address Reddit’s interest in connecting as much traffic as possible to specific users—a strategy that is common among companies like Reddit that rely on advertising for revenue.

Six Democratic lawmakers are pressing the nation’s top intelligence official to publicly disclose whether Americans who use commercial VPN services risk being treated as foreigners under United States surveillance law—a classification that would strip them of constitutional protections against warrantless government spying.

As if Snowden didn't already prove constitutional protections don't matter to the glowies anyway. Also, don't expect privacy by placing your trust in strangers. Use trustless systems for that.

Huh. That write up seems pretty useful. It's so weird that the redesigned app is just an alias to the old and untouched app that's still sitting in system32

Heya bud I think you're lost lol

I would normally shy away from a Netflix movie on account of their more recent tell don't show mentality but a Tarantino script directed by Fincher sounds like a match made in a personal heaven for me

Don't let me eat my words on this guys lmao

Glad this was posted here because I thought his script sounded really AI generated (or at least super PR speak). The below quotes really stood out as jarring having heard and read through a lot of AI slop, but the overwhelming praise given throughout the script to the concepts of youtubers and their viewers and finally his new product all also gave me that weird AI deja vu.

1:29 "Soon, the press wasn't just a press; it was information traveling in waves through the air.

7:35 "Newpress isn't just another media channel or media company. It's more of an idea. An idea that journalism can be done differently..."

8:21 "It's not breaking news; it's nourishing in-depth journalism that teaches you how the world works."

I generally enjoy Harris' content (the bunker video is something I actually sent to a friend and had a whole conversation about - incredible video), so I'm really not trying to be a hater. What I'm actually hating is that picking up on stray deja vu is sometimes the only real way you can know something is AI anymore, and because it's such a vague reference point I come away with an uneasy feeling about sources like Harris that I would otherwise have been comfortable to treat as trustworthy.

Tea means gossip. It's queer slang that also broke out into the vocab of those white gen alpha kids

Hey buddy this doesn't look like a great service. It isn't open source but claims to be, and appears to have only been around a couple of months.

A project with a lot of backing called Nextcloud could work for you. It has a service called Nextcloud Talk that you'll be able to throw on their dumb phone and if you want to you can use it as an alternative to dropbox/onedrive and google docs.

edit: a benefit of nextcloud talk is that your kid won't be able to add some random person or do anything too nefarious with it and if they did you'd be able to see everything

Saw your instance domain and thought I'd add something from home that Malcolm Turnbull has repeated a lot about American politics, which is that when you lack compulsory voting, government parties no longer have to appeal to a broad majority but instead can gain election by exciting a crazed minority with whatever sticks at the wall. Hate wins

I think the vibe of audience's returning to cinema might also have a bit to do with the writer's strike offering a break from content churn we all became exhausted with, especially in Marvel. The strike pushed the pipeline back and now we're getting some really great stuff again

It's synonymous with cinemas. Might be an Aussie/British English thing.

Not a huge loss as they pretty neatly tied the story back into The Boys. For those that didn't click through, the showrunners have noted that some of those character's stories will still be explored:

“While we wish we could keep the party going another season at Godolkin, we’re committed to continuing the Gen V characters’ stories in The Boys Season 5 and other VCU projects on the horizon,” said VCU executive producers Eric Kripke and Evan Goldberg. “You’ll see them again.”

::: spoiler Gen V Season 2 Spoilers I kinda disliked the forcing of the characters back into Godolkin University in S2. It felt strange as the characters seemed to have developed well past that university storytelling device. If they were to announce a Season 3 and did the same thing of bringing them all back to GodU then it could absolutely risk existing just to beat the money horse and sour fan's enjoyment of the series. :::

Problem I get is some places call it an Americano when us Aussies generally call it a long black. Same shit with cup sizes, it's maddening when you have to figure out how to order your usual at some place pretending to be more upmarket than they are

As others have said, just avoid McCafe like the plague find an actual coffee spot via recommendations from locals

Snot here might be getting at how Ruffalo wasn't involved in the press tour for the movie, which more politically engaged fans saw as a snub from Disney. If the studio throws his character back into a CGI Savage Hulk then it could be a lot easier to get rid of Ruffalo entirely.

I take your point on Captain Marvel but Disney is in bed with Trump

I'm australian myself and I have absolutely no idea which is the norm haha

Findings could improve training for lip readers and boost the capacity for artificial intelligence to read lips and provide transcription and other digital services.

Horrifying potential for AI but I guess you do have to throw it in the mix in order to get funding for research like this
