Dems Planning To Unseat Swing-District Republicans Who Back Jim Jordan
Isn’t it always the plan for Dems to unseat Republicans? That’s how the 2 party system works no?

Coca-Cola's New AI-Generated Soda Flavor Falls Flat

They probably trained it using data from their Coca-Cola freestyle dispensers if you’ve used one. That’s my guess.

Higher point of impact makes SUV crashes more dangerous for cyclists
I’d love it if cars in the US got smaller again. People everywhere else in the world get by ok without having a pickup the size of a semi truck. Don’t know why it’s so accepted in the US.

I’m confused how this is relevant. Just pointing out this is a bad take, not saying nukes are the same as AI. chatGPT isn’t the only AI out there btw. For example NYC just allowed the police to use AI to profile potential criminals… you think that’s a good thing?

Canada needs a digital infrastructure that isn't beholden to private interests
We need this everywhere, not just in Canada. A public google maps would do wonders, especially with the government’s ability to communicate important geographical live data (road work, wildfires, etc.)

Great upgrade!

What I miss most in order: -Video scrubbing (apollo would let me swipe anywhere rather than just the time bar which I miss across my phone) -Sharing/downloading video files like pictures -Share as image (shares text posts as an image, and adds the title to image posts.) Share as image for comments (including n parent comments, and post details as options)
What made apollo so great for me though was how smooth it felt, its optimizations, and its support for so many different websites and services. Overall, Avelon has been an incredible app even without these features. Thank you for developing it.

That’s a good point, however just because the bad thing hasn’t happened yet, doesn’t mean it wont. Everything has pros and cons, it’s a matter of whether or not the pros outweigh the cons.

Biden Administration Announces New Security Assistance for Ukraine
Reply in thread
Yeah I think its an important distinction to make though considering the US can definitely use that kind of money, and it might hurt to be struggling in the US and read that the government is giving away money. With weapons though, it doesn’t even feel like we’re giving anything away. Ukraine is fighting our enemy for us.

I get that but imo anybody who drives a big truck or suv should be shunned by society.

I don’t need to know the ins and outs of how the nazi regime operated to know it was bad for humanity. I don’t need to know how a vaccine works to know it’s probably good for me to get. I don’t need to know the ins and outs of personal data collection and exploitation to know it’s probably not good for society. There are lots of examples.

Starting today Facebook must pay $100.000 to Norway each day for violating our right to privacy.

No, they meant 100k is 0.0071428571429% of 1.4b, and 26 is the same percent of 365k. Basically, if you made 365k a year and had an equal percentage fine, it would come out to less than 7 cents per day.

Which app are you using? This also isn’t the right place to post this question. If there’s a community for your app I would ask there.
Edit: there’s a pinned post at the top of this community that specifically says not to post support questions here.

Suggestion: Make "Blur NSFW" option account-based instead of global
Reply in thread
That seems a little overkill, especially since it’s a feature I doubt very many people would use. Just having it separate for each account would be sufficient, require less processing power and battery, and less time to code.
