This only really happens when fuckcars posts show up on /all IMO, where some of the more extreme opinion holders are more vocal.

Fuck cars means fuck car dependency, i.e. places designed specifically for cars: no sidewalks, no bus, no train, no safe bicycle or light motorized assistive vehicle infrastructure available - you need a car for everything, or stay trapped at home.

It doesn't mean fuck cars literally.

It's pretty well known that rural areas, by design, require cars and motorbikes to travel out of them - a train is ideal, but good luck convincing anyone to finance that kind of project. A bicycle could work well for moving around town though depending on how safe it is, saving some wear and tear from your vehicle

Anticheats that run in the NT kernel may as well be described as rootkits, especially as they aren't transparent about exactly what they're doing. Then there's the question of what happens if they get compromised

One would think that by now, these companies would have built up enough training data to no longer require human intervention?

Is their existing "AI" tech just your usual old chatbot, except with a STT and TTS so it's usable at a drive thru? The article only mentions that they started recently using ChatGPT to assist with speech recognition... so unless I missed it, there's no mention of their current tech using LLMs at all - just another company trying to climb on board the AI hype train 🤦‍♂️

Presto said that off-site workers based in places like the Philippines that assist the chatbots will becoming [sic] increasingly expensive, Bloomberg reported.

Good. People in countries who aren't so well off shouldn't be exploited as cheap & disposable call center labor IMO.

Of course its Admiral AAB 😭

Does safari have a reader mode you can use to bypass it? I use a FF extension that allows me to disable all scripts on a page when I come across junk like this.

Alternatively just chuck the link into Wayback or archive.is

TIL, that is very neat

Beeper and Beeper Mini are two completely different things

Beeper Mini, the version that does not require any kind of MITM bridge, has been blocked by Apple. Beeper, the version that requires the bridge, still works fine AFAIK

Wholeheartedly agree with the second paragraph though 👍

@[email protected] pretty much explained the issue.

Would suggest asking these questions in the dedicated community for selfhosters, who'd be able to point you to specific tools and things you can use to populate your instance with new data from across lemmy [email protected]

Edit: fix community link

What's your problem with tagginator? Just block it if you don't want to see it?

Then use ANY other messaging service. Preferably Signal,

🤩

but if that doesn't work..... Facebook, Whatsapp, literally anything.

So Facebook, or Facebook? That might work for most people, but when there's an open protocol right there, I'd rather steer clear of their products and services
