Google Researchers Now Also Say We All Should Use Their Shit AI Search That Tells Us To Eat Glue

requiem,

Belgian Shepherd - Staffordshire Terrier cross would be my guess.

requiem,

Depends in what field. Proton, at least, doesn’t scan your email contents and metadata to sell it on to advertisers.

requiem,

Hi. So, not all of the software you use will work on Linux (which btw isn’t a company but to put it simply a family of open source operating systems sharing a common core):

  • Affinity don’t offer a Linux version so you will need to try something like WINE to run the Windows versions.
  • Blender will defo work, not sure about the others
  • Davinci will work, has a Linux version
  • VSCode has a Linux version
  • File explorers work.

Ubuntu sadly is not what it was.

I’d suggest Pop_OS or Fedora- I think Fedora used to have a media oriented “Fedora Design Suite” version.

requiem,

Honestly I don’t mind the price hikes as much as the enshittification of being forced to watch ads again.

requiem,

So are Cholera vaccines

requiem,

So basically “pasteurisation was found to have worked”.

requiem,

Yes. I was wondering about the raw milk issue - if there is an upsurge of H5N1 in cows, possibly without farmers sometimes realising, other times fully knowing but ignoring it for whatever reason, then there will be a surge of H5N1 infections among those drinking unpasteurised milk.

requiem,

Well, take your pick: the neighbour’s truck or some light rain

requiem,

I think the only answer is “Doom”

Does anyone remember these? This was a time before answering machines, hard line voice mail, beepers, cell phones etc? (lemmy.world)

At a business, a secretary, almost always a woman, would answer the phone for all calls. There were no direct lines into anyone. If you were in she would transfer the call to your office. If you were out she would use this pad to take messages. When you came back in to the office you would always stop at the front desk and you...

requiem,

Why past tense? These remain far more useful than answer phones; or visual voicemail with AI transcription, or whatever. All the info you need, right there. The more I pay for digital services the more I am learning to appreciate how effective these are. Basically we are spending a fortune in development to replicate exactly these.

And here was I thinking locking up a murderer is for the protection of the public…

requiem,

I am hosting stuff on OVH at the moment. Entry level package is around £1 / mo in the first year.

requiem,

Slightly misleading title, I was surprised that the Russians advanced to Kyiv with 36 tanks.

requiem,

Here’s what they wrote to users in an email:

To our amazing Affinity community,

Today marks a momentous new chapter in our journey together.

I am thrilled to announce that Affinity is joining the Canva family.

This is a moment of great excitement, anticipation, and profound gratitude for all of you who have been part of our story so far.

We know that those of you who’ve put your faith in Affinity, some since we launched our very first Mac app, will have questions about what this means for the future of our products. Since the inception of Affinity, our mission has been to empower creatives with tools that unleash their full potential, fostering a community where innovation and artistry flourish. We’ve worked tirelessly to challenge the status quo, delivering professional-grade creative software that is both accessible and affordable.

None of that changes today.

Etc.

The last word is what I am really worried about: today. It doesn’t change today, but what about 6 months from now?

This is a really really worrying development. The best selling point of Affinity products was the lack of subscription. I am convinced this will be the end of owning or software. I abandoned Adobe for a reason, I will be sad to abandon this excellent piece of software when the subscription model comes in.

requiem,

Slightly wondering whether this is a roundabout way of creating Ad-Free YouTube playback capabilities. “Hey community, we are adding support for ad enabled streams. Would be a shame if you hated that so much you wrote some ad blocking plugins.”

requiem,

That’s great, I had no idea!

requiem,

That’s pretty cool, I didn’t know!

requiem,

Now you put it that way… 😃

requiem,

Thanks. I figured out the official runtime, the tutorial above will tell you how to do it!
