i’d say use of the word is actually accurate here

In tomorrow’s VC pitch deck: Clipboard-as-a-service. Subscribers get two clipboards to start with. Each clipboard has a sensor that detects when it breaks, which will automatically trigger the shipment of a new clipboard to the owner. That way they’ll always have one working clipboard at all times.

Ah i wasn’t sure if you just wanted to follow or participate. This solution allows you to follow but not participate

Why do you need a 3d printer when carrots have been coming out of the ground for thousands of years.

they explain that in the article :)

I have the perfect solution - rdx.overdevs.com

It’s mobile-friendly, and you can follow/subscribe without creating an account. You can also import a list of current subscriptions from your old reddit account using a .json file.

The only issue is that it’s read-only and you can’t create an account, post or upvote. But given the shitstorm that is the reddit admin team, i view this as a good thing!

this deserves to be its own post!

The Romans must have called it a V-turn

I sold my Pixel 6 pro to get a Samsung S23. Unfortunately the main issues I had with the pixel were hardware-related and recurring, and while samsung isn’t ideal, most of their issues could be solved with a one-time fix.

Main issues I had with the Pixel:

• Fingerprint sensor doesn’t work with privacy screens. Period. It’s not a question of buying cheap privacy screens, the Pixel fingerprint reader is optical and is just not compatible with privacy screens. Samsung uses an ultrasonic reader which is compatible with privacy screens.
• The 6 Pro was unwieldy and ridiculously large, the smaller 6 doesn’t have the triple camera setup. Samsung is one of the few that doesn’t sacrifice phototaking ability in a smaller form factor.
• That godawful new quick toggles UI is horrible. The quick toggles are ridiculously large, and who decided it would be a good idea to merge the wifi and internet toggles?! I managed to use adb commands to split the toggles in 12, but that broke with 13.

Issues I had with the Samsung:

• Bloat - this was mainly in the form of some preinstalled software, but unlike in the early days of Samsung, I could uninstall most of the bloat easily without resorting to root, adb, etc. No bloat (pixel) is still better than bloat that can be uninstalled (samsung), but this problem was permanently solved after about 10 minutes.
• Some Samsung native apps have horrible permission settings - eg Samsung Pay requires access to your contacts, and if you deny it any one permission, the app just force closes. I got around this by uninstalling the offending apps and using alternatives (e.g. google pay) - again, a one-time issue. fuck the intrusive permissions.

some people want more storage space maybe? not OP, just guessing.

As a dude I would offer to pay for their cab home, but someone asking for that is a yellow flag.

Asking for me to pay for a bunch of stuff, including the cab, would be a red flag. Unless I’ve travelled back in time to the 70’s or I’m living in Saudi Arabia, paying for my date should be a nice thing to do, not an expectation.

The pixel 7 line had pretty good cameras, didn’t they? Iirc it was 64MP

If you haven’t tried any of the newer Samsung, you should!

I hated the bloat on my S5 (only tolerated it because of the awesome IR blaster on that phone), but the S10 was miles better. There were maybe 2 apps I had to disable, the rest could be uninstalled.

No bloat is still better than some bloat, of course, but Samsung phones are still one of the few with a triple camera setup in a small form factor. That, and the new android quick toggles are so ugly - who thought it was a good idea to hide wifi/data behind a second layer of toggles, and then make each toggle hideously big?!

A feed with 40 videos, 25 of which I’ve already watched

This is such a problem for me. There needs to be a “remove from the feed because I’ve already watched it, but i’m still interested in this type of content” button.

hah, this one is funny!

Also, echoing @Imotali@lemmy.world’s comment below (unfortunately you can’t sticky comments on lemmy): comments that express hate towards any group are a violation of instance guidelines. BE NICE.

There’s a difference between a sapient creature drawing inspiration and a glorified autocomplete using copyrighted text to produce sentences which are only cogent due to substantial reliance upon those copyrighted texts.

But the AI is looking at thousands, if not millions of books, articles, comments, etc. That’s what humans do as well - they draw inspiration from a variety of sources. So is sentience the distinguishing criteria for copyright? Only a being capable of original thought can create original work, and therefore anything not capable of original thought cannot create copyrighted work?

Also, irrelevant here but calling LLMs a glorified autocomplete is like calling jet engines a “glorified horse”. Technically true but you’re trivialising it.

lol whats new

I put out some bait last month to get rid of an ant problem I had in my kitchen, I guess I’m as guilty of mass murder as you are
