I already know a couple of people who already talk to chatbots as if they were their friends. This is so depressing… And by the current state of things, I might be reading bot publications and replying to bots here and there, without knowing. That just increases my will to die

Jellyfin users have been warning about such things for a long time, but very few actually listened. Well, here we are, hope more people migrate now

Thank you for the list. We have a tendency to criticize bad actors, but we forget that it’s important to promote the ones going the right direction.

It’s not competing, but collaborating with climate change

In order to create a “viable” search engine business, Apple would be required to “sell targeted advertising,” which is “not a core business” for the company and would go against its “longstanding privacy commitments.”

Not a CORE business. Hmmmmm.

My same reaction. I bet most people don’t even know the term.

But xcom were supposed to be the good ones. Were we been lied all this time?

Does anyone know if there’s something similar to universal android debloater for android tvs?

For the first half part of my life, I was a great technology enthusiast, but from the beginning of the second half until now, I’ve been more and more turning into the opposite…

I know the problem isn’t technology itself, but we can’t separate it from how it’s used by companies and people, so being aware of that doesn’t help.

Those threads are so funny. One day, we see people talking against planned obsolescence and the environmental impacts of the tech industry. The other day, the same people are cheering for removal of backwards compatibility and happy to throw away their stuff to buy new ones, and even making peer pressure on the ones who don’t do the same so they feel “antiquated”.

That’s an interesting perspective. Do you think the same about lemmy? While also decentralized using the sameprotocol, it seems reasonably efficient to me. I’m from a small instance from my country, and the global content is easily available to me.

I just have a lot of trouble explaining how it works to people who aren’t tech savy… this is what I consider the main issue withthe fediverse as a whole.

I’m scared from the possibility of linux going the same way… we tend to think it can be simply forked and continued on, but it’s a software too complex for some smaller group to maintain.

Being installable directly from fdroid was what made me use it.

You’re right, and if we think about it, companies are well aware of that, and that’s why they don’t care for offering anything beyond the basic and walled experience, because we will buy anyway.

You will lose interest in the market, but will keep buying? Did I misunderstand something?

I’m also using jerboa and got no issues

Do chatbots provide accurate and safe instructions for all steps? Or will it mix different instructions for different scenarios?

According to the site, home routers and dvrs were part of the devices used. Looks like manufacturers abandoning devices without updates is becoming more and more of an issue.

Do your firewall rules allow you to block your tv’s telemetry, while allowing you to still use the internet on it? If so, would you mind sharing how you did it?

I bet you will need a crypto-backed ai startup for that project!
