some people might want to avoid Feedly due to their approach to protests: https://hachyderm.io/@molly0xfff/110113208809822962

Raft is incredibly fun. and an incredible time devourer.

it’s entirely grammatically correct

eeeehhhhhhhhhhhhh. the a/an rule is based on the first sound (phone?) of the word, not the spelling. hence “an hour”, for example, where the H is silent, but “a heist” where it’s voiced.

yeah, although using a password manager as a 2FA provider sort of negates the “2F” part.

ChatGPT only jumbles words together in a way that is statistically likely to resemble a coherent sentence based on the bits and pieces it’s been fed, without checking whether or not they’re factual. asking them anything doesn’t prove or disprove anything. it says it’s got an account because someone on the internet mentioned once that they’ve made an account to check it out and that they’re excited to see where it’s going.

friendly reminder that Luddites weren’t opposed to technology, just wary of its misuse and how it was going to benefit the people higher up rather than the workers.

one admin told them that. some of them have actually met with Meta after signing an NDA earlier this week.

make sure to also check the “don’t bother” section that includes LocalCDN, Privacy Badger, and a few more popular choices.

Google actually pulls results from web pages.

you know how some smartphone keyboards predict the next word that you’re going to use, and you can form a comprehensible sentence that sometimes even makes sense by simply tapping the next word on the prediction bar over and over? that’s what those language models do. they don’t actually search for anything, they just create sequences of words that sound probable.

a “search engine” that hallucinates results, including but not limited to non-existent court cases.

Any Nintendo fans

looks like there are:

!nintendoSwitch@kbin.social
!nintendo@kbin.social
!nintendo@lemmy.world

to choose from.
wait, .world is one that Beehaw has defederated from, hasn’t it?

there’s a browser addon that lets you solve Recaptcha with one click:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/buster-captcha-solver/

it automatically switches to the alternative accessibility option, which is based on typing in words that you hear, and uses speech recognition software to solve it. I’m fairly sure it could be automated quite easily.

Basedonia

and PixelFed, Pleroma, Akkoma, Miskey, Calckey, Goto Social, OwnCast, Funkwhale, Mobilizon, Bookwyrm, Friendica, WriteFreely, and probably a bunch more.

apparently some Mastodon admins got contacted by Meta and met with them after signing an NDA. I’m quite surprised how many Masto admins want to “just wait and see, maybe it’s not gonna be that bad”.

it’s not “an anonymous Google search”, just a regular Google search results page. they got rid of encrypted.google years ago.

probably not, since kbin isn’t Lemmy.
