That’s part of why I clicked the article, I was confused if I read it correctly

The article is nice, but I’m not sure if I’d send it to friends that aren’t familiar with the fediverse. It seems to gloss over some problems and focus less relevant ones

It doesn’t touch on the issues with Blueskys protocol and makes it sound like an equivalent choice (or worse, a better choice). In the downsides section it touches on racism in badly moderated instances, and the difficulty of setting up an instance. Those issues aren’t relevant to the vast majority of users who will join a large instance that has defederated from the bad stuff.

It’s a nice article for those who are already somewhat familiar, but a bad first impression

Very cool, thank you!

This is both really cool, and really unsettling. I wonder if this research might help in the other direction as well, such as with transplants and grafts

sarcasm is already hard to understand online, even harder for generative AI

I know sometimes I would take a peek at the person’s comment history to see if they were well informed / a shill for the product. The AI can’t do that

I’ve seen some dashboards around, is this what you’re looking for?

Oops, should be fixed now

Thanks!

I like !privacyguides@lemmy.one because the project is behind it

Whenever friends ask about resources, I always link them to the privacyguides website. I should use their community more as well

See if you can find a friend who owns a particular model and is comfortable letting you try it on. How it fits is the most important thing IMO.

Samsung ones seem reliable, but one big downside is that the app (Galaxy Wearable), has a number of required permissions. The app does not function without them, even if you don’t need those features. I’m not sure what the workarounds are, and maybe you can make do without the app, but here is the list:

• Calendar
• Call logs
• Contacts
• Nearby Devices
• Phone
• SMS

I was about to recommend Heliboard since that’s the best one so far IMO, but it also doesn’t have emoji search. Turns out I was using the “recent emojis” menu

That might help in the meantime till a better recommendation comes around

There actually is a bot here for that

@RemindMe@programming.dev 12 hours

I’m fuzzy on the details, but I do get reports from users on another instance as long as it’s “relevant” (ex. in one of our communities, one of our users)

Banning a foreign user on our instance will fix the problem for our instance, but they need to be banned on the home instance too in order to stop the spam from continuing

This makes me think of people who have trouble in airports because their name is similar to someone else’s.

Only this is going to be much harder to deal with

Somehow I never tried looking at Digg

It reminds me of the original “Your doctor doesn’t want you to know these 8 tricks for belly fat” ads, only that’s the actual content?

One thing I noticed the other day, while banning one such bot, is that the same network has been posting on Reddit as well.

Turns out the Reddit ones have been posting the spam for months, while the Lemmy ones get banned within hours.

Part of that is the lower volume of content here, but part of it is also the great people that take the time to report bad content ♥️

Wouldn’t they be? They could measure how likely it is that someone clicks on the generated link/text

It could also be A/B testing, so not everyone will have the AI running in general

Most of the details are things that you might already know, or assumed was happening, but the article is a helpful resource for links, evidence, citations, and summaries

I think it’s to make it easier to write bash scripts, for those who are new or when the script is doing a more critical task

Modern Syntax

You will find many of the language features familiar, allowing you to get up and running much faster than if you were learning Bash from scratch.

Runtime Safety

It’s one of the key components missing from regular shell scripts. It can help you catch many bugs at compile time.

Type Safety

Amber ensures that you handle everything that could fail. Each Bash command and function that could fail must be handled in some way.

This browser extension “would allow Facebook users to automatically unfollow their friends, groups, and pages, and, in doing so, to effectively turn off their newsfeeds, which Facebook algorithmically sorts to drive user engagement,” the Knight Institute said in a statement.

Interesting, I’ve been doing that manually for a while now (not Facebook though, I haven’t opened that feed in years).
