⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple considered switching to DuckDuckGo from Google for Safari - Bloomberg News⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
!sp (Startpage) gives you the same results without personalized ads or ad tracking.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Phones should have FM radio again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Exactly. Have that as an emergency option or a free substitute to streaming music and news. The more options there are, the better. Surely, this is not relevent for the US, where radio kinda sucks nowadays, and Billboard Top 100 are put on repeat, but in European countries, Middle East, Asia etc. this kind of thing is invaluable.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Fediverse should do what redditors have always wanted and Reddit Inc. has always refused to do; Distinguish between NSFW and NSFL.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
NSFL is just another name for gore or footage of death or injury. “Not safe for life” is not a thing. There’s no actual image that can kill you unless you have epilepsy or some other form of photosensitivity. I heard “Not safe for looking” but that’s an idiotic acronym, and most people don’t interpret NSFL that way at first, and it still has the connotation that it can physically harm you for some reason.

The AI image has such a cool fur pattern tbh.

I already know Russsian so that’s not a problem for me lol

It’s really neat IMO. It should’ve been there earlier

If 4chan made Trump win in 2016, Twitter might make Trump win in 2024. Which is a scary thought. Just imagine the level of control one rich man can have over the information highway, Twitter, one of the biggest social media sites in the world, used still by many politicians, journalists and reporters on both sides. It’s happening.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hell freezes over, MS Paint adds support for layers and PNG transparency⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Honestly not that bad if I want to use it for notetaking. But not as full-featured.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hell freezes over, MS Paint adds support for layers and PNG transparency⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Do they have variable weight? Are they planning to add that? Because I’d really like that for quick sketching and doodling.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hell freezes over, MS Paint adds support for layers and PNG transparency⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I think they’re just pushing people to use OneNote (which is free).

It’s like corrupting 8-bit games, isn’t it?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Publishes Garbled AI Article Calling Tragically Deceased NBA Player "Useless"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
This is just word replacement of an existing article, done to avoid DMCA claims, whether it was done by AI or an algorithm is irrelevent.

I see you’re a person of culture as well…
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is killing WordPad in Windows after 28 years⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
WordPad was a fast and efficient way to view doc files without loading into LibreOffice or any other office suite, or to make rich text documents quickly. But alas, we have to go to the cloud for our notes now…
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X is working on ID verification, what’s next?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
It’s optional and only intended towards Premium users, but concerning nonetheless. This ID-gathering is probably not even regulated in a lot of countries - I haven’t found any info on such regulation existing. And a migration is happening - but that part of the cake is distributed between platforms like Mastodon/*key, Threads, Bluesky and Tumblr.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As Twitter destroys its brand by renaming itself X, Mastodon user numbers are again soaring | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Twitter, Tumblr and Bluesky seem to fill the Twitter void for me fairly well, as I am mostly participating in the Furry and Sonic communities which are some of the first to move to these platforms.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hexbear federation megathread⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Lemm.ee is doing the right thing - instead of being super-safe and defederating from potentially bad instances just because they have bad actors, it’s actually trying to moderate in a sensible way. Defederation should be a last resort - that makes the most sense.
