If you already had smart replies or similar enabled (they were available before Gemini hit the scene) then you have to go opt out.

Didn’t have enough staff to work on the game, game take longer, EA angry at how long game tak, EA disband studio and cancel game?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Shifts Xbox Gaming Handheld Ambitions to Third-Party Windows Handhelds, Postpones 2027 Launch Plans⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
The Xbox system is a windows based system optimised to run on the consoles hardware. It has been since launch. Modifying it for handhelds with the ability to navigate to a desktop environment. The addition of a desktop environment isn’t so difficult that it should take three years to accomplish. They launched windows 11 4 years ago and it didn’t take but a few months for them to start shoehorning AI into every crevice of it.

Asus has a product already in production that could be used for the purposes of test bench testing and development. The original ROG Ally is even around the same price point as a steam deck.

So all in all the only two excuses MS has are that they are bad at understanding trends and getting in on the ground floor, and they are bad at optimising windows specifically because that goes against their business plan to gather user data and weaponize that data against their competitors.

All.in all we don’t have an Xbox handheld at this point because they’re greedy and fail to act on trend analysis.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Shifts Xbox Gaming Handheld Ambitions to Third-Party Windows Handhelds, Postpones 2027 Launch Plans⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Will I agree that the actual code base needs to be designed and augmented (backend to make this work), that’s not really what I’m saying. I’m pointing out that they already have the visual design and working template for a handheld based OS ( navigation and so on). Just that couple with something like what they had with Windows 10 (the tablet interface for 10 was better than 11) would be fine. It could literally be an Xbox version of steam’ big picture mode (because you can launch directly into it from Windows on 10). There even already exists a slimmed down version of Windows 11 to save on resource hogging.

The steam deck has been out long enough for them to have implemented this kind of thing. They’ve had time to design it. They’ve just been using that time to deliberately figure out how to shoehorn AI and telemetry and the rest into it because at the end of the day they still want to siphon up all that data.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Shifts Xbox Gaming Handheld Ambitions to Third-Party Windows Handhelds, Postpones 2027 Launch Plans⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
They already have the Xbox framework. I don’t understand why it’s so difficult to just use that for gaming and give the handle the ability to launch a lightweight version of Windows similar to the easy Steam OS will let you exit to Linux desktop.

Today I learned caffeine has a similar effect on spiders to what alcohol has on humans. That spider is drunk.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TIL blocking users on Lemmy is nothing but a placebo⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
So, there’s a inherent problem with blocking working both ways on a forum style site or platform like Lemmy.

When you block someone and the block goes through, if it works both ways, that means your comments or exchanges with that person disappear. The problem with that? They disappear for you and the person you blocked. Anyone else who comments can see the thread. But you both no longer can. So say someone comes along and responds to you on that thread. Or to the other person on that thread? Will their comment go through? Will you be able to see their comment? Will you be able to reply to their comment?

It becomes more complicated and further can affect users not related to or involve with the block depending on how it’s handled and for the most part that’s problematic.

I think we should be differentiating a “block function” (and neither the twain shall meet) from a “mute function” (a one way filter).

I feel like this might genuinely just be better than giving people a false understanding of what the filter they are using does.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's AI now listens to your English language phone conversations⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
My biggest issue right now is trying to figure out what I need/want to work vs things I don’t need. This list is one I’ve been keeping of things that I want it to do/be compatible with:

Weather Calendar News/RSS Feed Light Panel Media Panel Search Query Panel Use of Voice controls Singular touchscreen hub and android phone Works with Google home max speakers and Google nest mini speakers Chromecast equivalent functionality

It’s based on the things I use Google Assistant for daily or at the very least weekly. Most all of it can be done with an android tablet and my raspberry pi. But implementing it to be the way I want isn’t as simple (hasn’t been as simple for me) and I think that’s down to following guides for a lot of things that weren’t necessarily intended to work together cohesively.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's AI now listens to your English language phone conversations⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
So, I have several legacy Google Assistant compatible devices that do not work with Google’s new AI. As a result I haven’t switched over to Gemini for pretty much anything and I probably won’t. I’m currently building a Home Assistant system to take the place of Google Assistant when it finally sunsets but the going is slow (I have limited time to dedicate to that specifically at the moment). But for phone specific use, I’m taking the wait and see approach.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's AI now listens to your English language phone conversations⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I have a Google voice number. You actually can’t. You can get spam filtering which works sort of but definitely not in the same way. I have never had a Voice call use Google’s call screening on graphene os for instance because it doesn’t work. I have graphene os running on a pixel 8 pro for the purposes of seeing what works and doesn’t work to see if I can ever daily drive it. I like graphene os a lot but rely too much on certain Google specific android features and that’s what my first comment was generally talking about.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's AI now listens to your English language phone conversations⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Part of the reason I haven’t yet moved away from Google services in my pixel is because of the call screening and anti-spam features. I screen unknown callers pretty much all the time so Google is listening if they call me anyway. I’m fine with that, knowing A. That the callers get a heads up that they’re talking to an AI and being recorded and B. That the ones who are human and trying to scam me generally don’t call back once they know the line is being actively recorded.

There’s no feature parity for this on any of the rooms I would move to. Taking it a step further is unnecessary for me, and I’ll probably opt out. But I can fully understand why someone might want it (for their elderly family members for instance).

Was this before or after this: lemmy.world/post/29593011

Because I’m curious why Valve would have gone to so much trouble to make the game run on Linux just to ruin that.

This is what I do when I want to search Lemmy. I put Lemmy: “search for this” into the search box and see what comes up. It works better than Lemmy’s internal search function a lot of the time.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First Look at Google’s Unfinished DeX-Like Desktop Mode for Android⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Fuchsia? It became the OS for their nest line of products I think.

Now they’re doing away with chrome os I guess to make Chromebooks run android in an attempt to compete with Apple’s iPad line. I actually suspect Dex is part of this.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Says iPhone Adoption Of RCS Has Led Users To Share 'More Than A Billion' Messages Daily, Yet SMS/MMS Still Reign Supreme In The U.S.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
We tested this extensively. On Android we all have the setting to turn off read receipts. It’s broken. It does not turn off rear receipts for us. Our phones run the gamut from pixel 9 pro/+ to a pixel 5. To get ready receipts to go away we had to turn off RCS completely.

Short answer: No. Long answer: I trust him so little I’d like to see him use a chainsaw as a sounding rod.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Says iPhone Adoption Of RCS Has Led Users To Share 'More Than A Billion' Messages Daily, Yet SMS/MMS Still Reign Supreme In The U.S.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
RCS won’t allow users to turn off certain things like read receipts. That’s problematic for some. I personally like them but I know people who don’t who I have unfortunately had to inform that they have to turn off RCS altogether to get rid of them even though there’s a setting to turn off read receipts.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Either you haven’t read into what Nintendo is doing and kept up with what’s been going on in the court case, (and perhaps meant to put a /s at the end of your first comment), or you’re blaming Pal world for something Nintendo did because they are big mad that anyone would dare make a game even remotely similar to theirs. I don’t care if you’re defending Nintendo or not.

NINTENDO LITERALLY APPLIED FOR PATENTS FOR GAME MECHANICS used in Palworld after the game was already released to the public. They invented a reason to sue. They directly manufactured it. Your inability to communicate your thoughts on the matter is not my problem.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
So, Nintendo can file parents after years of not filing them just to fuck with an Indie company after that company put out a product with game mechanics that “infringe said parents”, but not to go after other large gaming companies like Microsoft that also infringe those same patents. Interesting take.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit will tighten verification to keep out human-like AI bots⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I would like to remind you of two things. The first is that reddit user to have a mod tool called “BotDefense”. It’s shutdown in July of 2023 directly lead to a major uptick in Spam Bots.

The second is that part of the ad revenue is “impressions”. Impressions are just an account (bot or human) “viewing” the ad and they do not require a click-through. The platform hosting the ad still gets paid for those.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't believe we have to say this but, don't use your work email for adult content⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
At one point the IT department where I work were asking questions about why I tether my phone to my work laptop when I’m out of the office (working from home). I told them very specifically that I would not connect any device I didn’t have administrator control over to my home network. They didn’t ask anymore questions after that. I have a work phone and work laptop for work things. I use both only for work things. I have two personal computers, and two personal phones (one for messing with roms). I don’t need their hardware for anything in my personal life. Nope. Not even a Google search.

They also asked me if I wanted my personal phone logged into the wifi and I gave them serious side eye before saying no thanks.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any community for Linux for noobs ?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Thank you for this post. I have been talking the ear off my one Linux friend since I installed Bazzite and I’m sure he’s got better things to do with his time than help me every time I text him with a problem or a question. A lot of online forums on the subject talk over my head so I need clarification even when I can find the solution to my problem.
