Except YouTube decided it’s going to light your “buisness” on fire because you aren’t using grounded outlets
- Comment on BentoPDF v1.16.0 3 days ago:
I’m running it and it screams vibe coded. The maintainer worked for an AI company before this as well, so it wouldn’t surprise me if it is mostly AI written. It’s buggy and clunky, despitr having a clean UI. The features are random and incomplete. The PDF Form creator is a joke. The signature portion doesn’t work. The “simple” mode really should be default. The website has big company bames in it saying “used by peoplr working at” which is just a bullshit and unimportant thing to say to put big companies logos on the site. Also those same logos aren’t currently removed from the simple mode probably because the AI didn’t consider that when it added the feature.
I know it’s a new project, so I am hoping it gets better. I have wanted a tool exactly like this for so long. Unfortunate that it’s a result of AI, but beggars can’t be choosers
- Comment on A Project to Poison LLM Crawlers 1 week ago:
as they invented euphemisms like ‘hallucinations’
Seems like a pretty accurate word to use, no? Could also use fabrication, concoction, phantom, or something else? I think “lie” and its synonyms are not accurate, since that requires intent. Since the LLM does not have intent, it cannot “lie”.

Whatsapp and Signal are US-based, which means that they will give up your data on the first request.
This is true. In regards to Signal, they do always comply with the governments request for data. The things is, Signal has next to no data on you. So when they comply, they give them everything they have (which is next to nothing). You can see everything they have given up here: signal.org/bigbrother/

Commercial location data, in this case acquired from hundreds of millions of phones via a company called Penlink, can be queried without a warrant, according to an internal ICE legal analysis shared with 404 Media.
- Comment on What is with these videos where it's just someone reaction to shit someone else is doing? 2 weeks ago:
That’s the “better” reaction channels. There are channels that record singer generic reactions (no commentary) and put them over hundreds of videos despite the reactions not making sense at all

- Comment on What's the best way to answer someone who accuses you of being a bot because they don't like what you have to say? 1 month ago:
It’s funny, but it’s not good advice. If you said “I’m not a bot. If there’s something specific you disagree with, I’m happy to clarify.” they’d KNOW you’re a bot
- Comment on What's the best way to answer someone who accuses you of being a bot because they don't like what you have to say? 1 month ago:
Calling someone an NPC is just an insult. Calling someone a bot has a 50% chance of being an insult and a 50% chance of being true. Adjust percentages as needed

I still enjoy the game even as is. It’s well made for a show/movie themed game

I don’t generally think encouraging people to live in fantasies is a good idea. I understand your viewpoint on religion being a fantasy, but unfortunately there is a difference between religion and believing centaurs are real.

The idea with fast charging is it’s going to generate more heat. That extra heat is what damages the batteries life

Technically they only benefit from money after the price was set, which was recently

Malware is a decent reason. You may get the game, but you’ll likely get more along with it.
Now movies on the other hand…
- Comment on YSK: you can stop Microsoft users from sending 'reactions' to your email by adding a "x-ms-reactions: disallow" header 2 months ago:
I will say, it’s practical for everyone using the same system. Sometimes it’s nice to acknowledge an email without having to respond to it
And when I had my school account, they’d send out phishing alerts of what to look out for. Those emails would be spammed with crying laughing emojis

Are you sure there wasn’t a video at the top or bottom of the web page? What you were listening to is kind if irrelevant, since if some other media starts playing it’ll pause whatever media was playing before.

In America, they are legally required to disclose paid reviews. If the company pays for the review they legallt must disclose it
If you receive free products or other perks with the expectation that you’ll promote or discuss the advertiser’s products in your blog, the FTC Act applies to you.

Problematic undercurrents of homophobia aside, the trend paints a troubling picture of a future filled with photorealistic and eerily believable AI slop.
What a fucking incredible line
- Comment on I've recently turned into a blocker. 3 months ago:
How should Lemmy handle it if they quote a portion or even the entire message in a child comment? If someone’s goal is to not have to worry about shit someone says, and then they are still shown what that person says, does that not defeat the purpose of blocking?

They would be annoyed at this comment if they could see it ^/s^
- Comment on I've recently turned into a blocker. 3 months ago:
why should online be any different?
I know I am taking the wrong message from this, but online is different in basically every way. You cannot block someone in real life. You can try to avoid them, but they can still talk to you. You can put in ear buds, but that doesn’t make them not there.
Really, the solution is to spend less time on technology and more time communicating IRL. Even if it is uncomfy

Have you heard of the experiment with swimming rats and how much longer they swam when given hope? We need hope to survive.
Though they don’t say we will solve it, but that we can solve it if we start now.

Part of why that world works the way it does is Vought
You act like we don’t have Vought in the real world already. Vought is literally just a parody of Amazon, and not just because it’s made by Amazon Prime
