I don’t really find the Android notification system useful, as there are always a few apps that permanently place an icon in the tray. But I’m not really a mobile “power user” so I’m not the target market for these features.

Exactly. Mastodon supports polls so what the heck?

Yup. I’m a web dev. Switched from testing first in Chome to testing first in Firefox a few months ago. And I had been Chrome first for probably 10 years prior. Some of our customers (enterprises) also started deploying/spec for FF by default in the past year.

Thanks to stuff I learned about in the comments of previous posts on lemmy, I no longer see any YouTube ads. I’d say their plans are backfiring.

5.25 billion smartphone users, so they are paying about $5 per user. If you switch the default from Google, you are taking $5 from them!

It’s not so much the fake reviews, as the very honest and bluntly negative reviews. That gets in the way of Amazon making a cut off of sellers offloading useless crap onto their customers, and those are the reviews I think they will be purging.

I think this model has billions of weights. So I believe that means the model itself is quite large. Since the receiver needs to already have this model, I’d suggest that rather than compressing the data, we have instead pre encoded it, embedded it in the model weights, and thus the “compression” is just basically passing a primary key that points to the data to be compressed in the model.

It’s like, if you already have a copy of a book, I can “compress” any text in that book into 2 numbers: a page offset, and a word offset on that page. But that’s cheating because, at some point, we had to transfer to book too!

Yes, exactly. Google is causing this problem by making a way for this crap to be monetized, and driving the human eyeballs to it. The solution is not to further enable Google as a gatekeeper to information, but to simply replace them.

Out of principle websites never get push permission from me. If it is a communication app it will give me a phone push, and I can switch to that tab when I see that in my peripheral. One less thing to mute when I want no distractions.

I feel bad for developers who have built a business around Twitter. But hopefully everyone comes to realize, proactively: just do not do business with Musk or his ilk. Don’t buy from his companies and don’t sell to them either: they don’t pay the bills. Don’t partner with them; they will steal your ideas and steamroll you out of existence. Just let them wither and die.

Anyone know a decent alternative at a reasonable price though? What if I have an @gmail today, and I want to move my storage elsewhere and have that just forward?

Balls balls is breaking my brain

Price has gone up by $1k since I first saw this meme. Must be a hot ticket item!
