Made the switch to Aegis a little while back. I like it a lot.

I tried this exact scenario and didn’t see any difference in load times. I’m using an ad blocker and it’s definitely sluggish, but switching to a Chrome user agent made no difference.

Linux users truly are the vegans of the tech world.

The same happens to Chinese app stores on Android phones. Just companies trying to throw up obstacles for their competition.

Between this and antivirus software flagging cracked software, I wish security apps would focus on security instead of weaponizing consumer trust.

I tried having a conversation with ChatGPT. It’s annoyingly predictable. Imagine the most boring, chronically helpful therapist who is always brimming with obvious advice, and that’s what you get.

I get that people are lonely, but we’re still much closer to ELIZA than Her.

I don’t believe this is classified but

“Not sure, might be spilling nuclear secrets here, but fuck it, I really wanna reply to this Lemmy comment.”

Yeah, it just sucks.

Ah, yes. Just like Jesus said… “If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn their house into fucking rubble.”

Egypt is really the elephant in the room for the Gaza Strip. It’s an open-air prison, sure, but Egypt holds one of the jail cell doors shut on their side.

It also reminds me of crypto. Lots of people made money from it, but the reason why the technology persists has more to do with the perceived potential of it rather than its actual usefulness today.

There are a lot of challenges with AI (or, more accurately, LLMs) that may or may not be inherent to the technology. And if issues cannot be solved, we may end up with a flawed technology that, we are told, is just about to finally mature enough for mainstream use. Just like crypto.

To be fair, though, AI already has some very clear use cases, while crypto is still mostly looking for a problem to fix.

More like a landowner living in their home, and a rich squatter parking their RV on the other guy’s backyard then slowly taking over the house.

These “neighbors” metaphors ignore the historical fact that Israel was given Palestinian land and then encroached further beyond their borders.

Hang on. You can get blocked by AI for asking what it deems are inappropriate questions?

And you’re vastly underestimating Reddit’s user base’s willingness to simp for porn stars and billionaires.

I’ve been hearing a variant of this since I joined Slashdot in 1999. “Microsoft really messed up this time, mainstream Linux adoption is right around the corner!”

What do you know, every sci-fi movie ever on the topic was right.

B-but Elon told me advertisers were returning!
