80% over 24 is pretty solidly an “old people thing.”

As an old man I demand those 20% get off my facebook and turn down that 101 gecs!

They would be android devices, then.

So no. They wouldn’t be good.

A mild copyright violation based on a system designed around the constant distribution of copies of things is NOT a parable about sexual violence, people.

I feel like this extremely insensitive rape take is the fediverse’s version of the Godwin Law.

Read up on RCS’ history, and current standard.

RCS is a clown college of brokenness that doesn’t include encryption, and not even all of the telcoms in the country put together could make an official client for it. It is no more a standard than iMessage, and it certainly isn’t as good of one.

Fantastic list!

If you’re ok with including AI art generating apps on the list then check out Draw Things.

It’s free, runs the models only locally on your device, and collects no data/has an excellent clear privacy policy. It also does it in a fairly user-friendly way.

I have been extremely blown away by how capable it is. You can import Checkpoints, LoRa, Embeddings, and other Stable Diffusion-based things downloaded from huggingface, and civitai, likely other places. You can mix models and train LoRa. It has recently added API and http server functionality so you can automate image generation or plug it into other apps. It even can generate up to 25-frames of video, and it includes an exporter that does video frame interpolation.

It runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and the iPad version runs on VisionOS. I take a photo with my phone and make crazy variations of art with it without having internet access or paying a dime more than my expensive device already cost me.

With a separate app I can turn things I generate into stereo photos or video and see them in 3D on my headset.

I can also zoom in and enhance parts of photos, or upscale them in ways that hallucinate reasonable details.

I feel like I’m one hoverboard away from the future I was promised as a kid!

I’ve been so enamored with this app recently that it’s making me consider a career change, so I apologize if I’m coming off like an advertisement.

Probably like this stuff: https://lanua.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/La-Nua-100ml-Naturally-Flavored-Cucumber-Aloe-Water-Based-Lubricant-Front-Gray-BG.jpg

This reference is so old, that Johnny 5 must be dead by now.

Today I learned I’m a fabulous dish!

Why bother with that? If you need shoes to dissolve, regardless of the materials, just subject them to my foot sweat for a few months.

It still failed to hit projected box office returns with that factored in!

It’s just funny because it’s a good movie and the first one won an academy award but is terrible.

And they won it for writing “damaged” on Joker’s forehead… at least in part.

Except Apple did better than analysts forecasted, and announced a buyback, causing the stock price to go up.

He lost money compared to if he had waited until after.

Fun fact, The Suicide Squad (2021) was a box office flop, whereas Suicide Squad (2016), the only academy award winning DCEU film, was a box office smash hit!

The fediverse has a built-in search engine?

I can only comment on my experience searching for communities in lemmy and people to follow on mastadon, but in both cases I am not sure I’d say “works quite well” would describe my experience.

But also that’s not what I think OP was talking about.

They want a search engine for a random fact like google. It’s been long true that you need to add “reddit” to the end of any google search to find the info you needed.

It’d be nice to have a fediverse alternative.

The link seemed to work for me from lemmy. I see three posts there when I click it at least.

They felt extremely small, too.

Because they are extremely tiny.

For the click-bait avoiders: the issue the article mentions is that some iPhones’ alarms aren’t going off.

This has been an issue in the past for me as well, so I hope they fix it fully.

Plus back before the woke liberal agenda took over the media he was always talking about “boners” which I can relate to.

My joke answer is to directly tell them that they are not allowed to come on your lawn, to not let their kids do the same, and that it’s your property, not a zoo.

This way you’ll guarantee that your house is egged often enough that some of the eggs may not break, and some subset of those could be adopted by the ducks and hatched into baby birds that the kids also won’t be able to come look at.

I read the nice summary and that all seems reasonable to expect before being able to even remotely imply these things have any value as a mental health supporting tool.

AI therapists seem like a bad idea as a gut feeling to me, to be honest.

But thinking on it beyond my gut feeling, I recalled how my parents reacted 25 years ago when I told my them I was struggling with suicidal depression and pointed to an advertisement for prozac that described the things things I was going through.

My dad told me about how the advertisers were just trying to make a buck, and the doctors were paid to prescribe things and didn’t care about my health, then my mom secretly behind his back put me on echinacea supplements.

In comparison it’s hard to imagine an AI doing worse than that.

So gut feeling or no, and potentially pitfalls or no, this could be a tool to help people who can’t otherwise get that help, and that has me hopeful.

I know that Lemmy generally agrees with this guy’s low effort, Apple Bad, opining…

But come on.

If you have strongly held opinions about a product you have never tried, maybe you can just not say them.

But I get it, you all want a space to jeer and throw tomatoes at Apple, and screw anyone who doesn’t.

Also, I sent at least one of the comments in this chain from my Vision Pro, using the Voyager app while downloading 4k stereo gay porn and a 16k stereo video of a stream.

Both were awesome!
