  I hope this gets into Debian backports soon! I still have some weird issues with a blank screen (no UEFI/POST/grub display) owith Debian on first boot that hasn’t gone away even with the Nvidia 525.x proprietary drivers.

  Yeah, I think this plus the desktop app might be a huge deal

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Major ChatGPT-4o update allows audio-video talks with an “emotional” AI chatbot⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think it’s actually been rolled out to the app yet. When I load up the app, I see the old voice feature, not the new mode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the best time to find another job is when you already have one. How does it look like in your case?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve done this every time I’ve looked for a job. If it’s the kind of company that would snoop on my browsing history and cause issues, it would just have motivated me to look harder 🙃

  I’m speaking from my 20+ years of experience in tech, so this advice might not apply anywhere, but I’ve found the fastest way to keep increasing your salary is to switch jobs every couple of years. I usually got bored of a job in a couple of years anyway, so this also helped prevent burnout. Additionally, switching jobs at leisure like this meant I could negotiate new salaries harder at the new place and didn’t need to try and change jobs during an economic downturn or a bad job market.

  Oh, and I’ve always regretted staying on in a company too long once I get the itch so I’d recommend starting a hunt as soon as you think a change might be good instead of waiting till you start hating your job!

  Also, Google is a (the?) major source of funding for Mozilla, so they have a lot of clout with them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit now blocks signed out VPN connections.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, this is part of a broader trend of enshittification sweeping the Internet these days. It’s not just spez, it’s any SV bro from the current crop of technology companies. I think this is a lesson worth remembering for all of us who took the freedom and magic of the Internet for granted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Reveals Gemini, rival to GPT-4⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They’ve only released the weaker version, Gemini Pro, which is integrated into Bard. It’s performance is comparable to GPT 3.5. the stronger version, which will go toe-to-toe with GPT4 will be Gemini Ultra, and will be released sometime in 2024.

  Wow, this got me curious and led to some internet searches. I hadn’t realized identifying as “lesbian” was “problematic” in some circles these days 🤯

  According to Arkenfox user.js the Canvas Fingerprint randomization is caused by Firefoxs Resist Fingerprinting

  Nice, I should make sure I have FF’s fingerprint resistance on.

  Tor Browser has such strong privacy

  Yeah, hopefully more and more people start putting up strong privacy walls, so there’s more of a crowd to blend with!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yum!⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s honestly scary how easy it is to fingerprint you

  Yeah, 💯. Of course, if we resist fingerprinting too much, we make ourselves have a unique fingerprint again 😁 I assume some of the tools you’ve mentioned randomize the fingerprint instead of just hiding it?

  Didn’t click your link,

  Haha, no worries!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yum!⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Trying out Librewolf, I realized just how many sites (including Reddit!) use tricks like canvas fingerprinting to identify me up to 99% uniqueness. And here I thought just a VPN, uBO and no cookies would be enough!

  driver of the lead car

  I don’t know if this characterization is true. From all that I’ve read Ilya Sutskever was always the star and most important asset of OpenAI. Altman seemed like the SV money guy. Money should no longer continue to be as big of a problem for OpenAI, although the coup will definitely have spooked investors.

  Clicking on a post in the post feed makes it show up overlayed on top of the feed similar to alexandrite’s system instead of sending you to a new page. (hitting the name of the post when in this preview state will send you to the actual page)

  This is by far my favorite Alexandrite feature, and the main reason I use it over the alternatives. Thanks for including it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thank you 🖖⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly though, so grateful for the content they contribute

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy active users down, comments steady and posts up⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. I think it dilutes user engagement, because people will leave comments on these bot threads, never to be seen by anybody else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy active users down, comments steady and posts up⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I went ahead and blocked it and spend time on HN along with Lemmy instead. HN discussions on those posts are always so much livelier than those sad, but interesting copycat posts.

  It’s silly to use Sweden as a reference, they are a silly people in a silly country. Unlike Denmark which contrary to what many believe is a way way different and superior not at all alike Scandinavian country.

  😂

  TIL. I’ll remember from this point on that the Swedes are silly geese

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair enough. I was also a lot more hyped playing TD1, so that might have played a part too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but those were the NPCs in bases, etc. I meant just random people out on the street, I think there were none or fewer

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I also never understood why they removed most of the NPCs. I loved seeing all the random city people around, help the odd one out and have some of them get aggressive. TD2’s city felt pretty dead in comparison.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Hope they can make it as immersive as TD1. TD2 was kinda disappointing.
