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

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.

This is why Lemmy needs to keep tweaking it’s feed algorithm. I understand why many people rightly have a distaste of social media algorithm fuckery, but Lemmy doesn’t have some of the same bad incentives that an ad driven site like Reddit or twitter might have. A better algorithm will help Lemmy grow and surface interesting posts organically.

The recent feed change to boost smaller communities in 0.19 is a good start, and not showing too many posts in a row from the same community will be another welcome change.

Why does the Dogbird god look sad?

Antibiotics not such much I think but I would happily stand corrected.

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.

Wait, wait, wait, wouldn’t it be Portside and Starboard?

I clued into this many years ago and my sense of direction has been massively upgraded ever since. I always have a mental image of the Google Maps (facing North) of a place, even when I’m visiting a new place. As a result, it is much faster for me to plot new places in my mental map. Definitely a skill worth developing!

Ah! That rules out filtering. I don’t envy what you have to trawl through all the garbage to keep the rest of us safe!

I totally get what you’re saying, and those things drive me up the wall too.

I’ve ended up curating my feed heavily, blocking and filtering words, users and communities that don’t interest me. Since then, I rarely see any of the whining. If your client supports filtering by keyword, it might dramatically improve your Lemmy experience :)

LOUD NOISES!

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.

Very impressive! Apparently the slightly weaker version is bring released today in Bard, which is still not available in freaking Canada.

The more powerful version which claims to beat GPT4 at MMLU comes out next year.
