The internet is great again, thanks to all of you 🙂
I have to say it does feel pretty cool and like the good old days. No big corporations at the moment, just people figuring stuff out and doing their own thing. I'm liking this a lot

It's not difficult if you're on newer versions of iOS and Android. It's easy to customise notifications or turn them off altogether. If you're less techy, then it's more difficult.
The problem is the apps assuming they can send you tons of notifications by default. Plus some apps keep adding new notifications types and assume that people are interested in them (for example shopping apps starting to suggest random products or Instagram advertising the creator's broadcast channels).
It's good we're highlighting the mental burden of constant notifications as some people are not aware of it.

What is a food that you are very picky about?
Tomatoes for me, always trying to buy the more expensive/on the vine tomatoes to get more flavour, the basic ones are just too watery and flavourless for me.

Running AI is so expensive that Amazon will probably charge you to use Alexa in future, says outgoing exec
I think at this point with so many tech giants introducing ads to their services and increasing subscription prices, I think we can expect some kind of subscription fee to access assistants with the AI/LLM capability. It would make sense to offer a 'basic' version of these services for free since people have already invested in the hardware, but wouldn't be surprised if these companies suddenly block us from using the smart functionality suddenly unless you pay.

It's practically a flawless trilogy in my opinion. It definitely still holds really well and always fun to rewatch!

Silo Seasom 1 Finale Discussion
I just finished the finale - really enjoyed it but there's one thing that slightly bugs me about the end.
::: spoiler question Why are the bodies not visble in the "beautiful world" AR feed? Surely this would be an immediate giveaway to both Holston and Juliette that what they're seeing is not real as they both have seen the bodies on the screen and would want to find them quickly? Is it just all relying on the 'shock' of seeing the green world that makes them not think about it? :::
