Same. I imagine it's how most Christians feel about their loudest supporters as well

Very nice UI. Pleasantly surprised (even if I'm staying w/ ansiweather)

"Decisions went from being made for the benefit of users, to the benefit of Google, to the benefit of whoever was making the decision,"

That's a bar.

Hard to feel sorry for anyone actively putting money in Tesla/Musk's pocket @ this point

Their current userbase is not their target userbase. They are trying to reach a more mainstream audience but all of their attempts to monetize are seen as useless by their current userbase.

  • They want to increase revenue w/ ads - A loud swath of FF users are tech savvy and have adblocking enabled
  • They want to pivot towards AI - A loud swath of FF users see AI as gimmicky

Repeat ad-nauseum

Zero clicks on the video. Screw both of them.

Also feels like Mediate is subtly spreading Candace Owens videos by embedding it instead of just a screenshot or a link to another page to get the info if desired

Sometimes it's hard to feel sorry for Apple users given the amount of repeated nickeling and diming they go through,yet make excuses for (as seen in the comments). Definitely shades of battered woman syndrome

Troll account that purposefully takes the losing side of debates: https://alexandrite.app/lemmy.world/u/Guru_Insights99@lemm.ee

I’m in California. I have no power here.

I think the point is moreso that the party you support typically is indifferent about minorities/LGBT/immigrants/poor people, etc.

This seems antithetical to the morality we are taught as children (ie: the Golden Rule) which is why people question how you generally survive in that type of relationship when both people seem to have blinders on regarding empathy for others.

Woof. I disagree w/ this 100%.

The article insinuates he has unwavering support from Congress when in actuality he has tepid support and uncertainty among his contemporaries.

Also, the donors are pushing back so hard not because they are 'elite' but because they were also at the Clooney fundraiser where Biden sh!t the bed there as well w/ a performance that rivaled the incoherence of the debate performance. They are of the opinion that this isn't a one-time thing and is in fact the writing on the wall.

Here's the hosts from Pod Save America discussing it: (timestamped) https://youtu.be/vbVcn_VQt5A?si=5cqL5NMuUigvbps4&t=1425

I self-host searXNG, but you can use one of the public instances as well. My understanding is that it is more secure because you're search results are commingled with whoever else uses the instance, but you also can use something like libredirect to further distribute your search results across various instances for further security

I don't want to go conspiracy theory, but in my opinion it feels like a dark pattern to increase the time people have Bluetooth on. I believe they did the same thing with success for Wi-Fi. If I recall correctly, even when you are not connected to a device, Google can estimate your location based on what Wi-Fi networks you are in proximity to and something to varying degrees might work for Bluetooth as well which is why they also roll the feature over to the Bluetooth toggle

Et tu, neo-facists?

The article is a couple days old. Ironically Republicans interpreted his comments as a form of DEI and turned on him

I expect nothing less from Tesla drivers

Glad to see a detailed review that also doubles as an installation guide. I definitely had anxiety following the docs when I took the plunge last year.

Great to hear. Preferably from a more neutral source next time. Hard to take it at their word when it's so editorialized and filled w/ name-calling. And I say this as someone who probably would end up on a watch list if I gave my personal opinion of Elon

We (read: Dems) can rally around him all we want. The point of the debate was to convince independents, uninformed voters never-Trumpers so that the polls start to look more favorable. Biden failed to do that and has no meaningful opportunity to do so for the rest of the campaign.

The informed Democrats can rally around him as much as they want, but he is still falling short, which is why a pivot seems risky but like the only real shot left

Probably not for me as I'm not interested in a summarizing tool, but I'm not against AI in general.

OAN, I think over time, the community will see that AI was a bubble, but in the same way that the internet was a bubble back in the day.

Isn't getting to know someone better the exact same path you would take if you like them too?

Hip hop gossip columnist preaches voter apathy. This story and more on local tv

There's an irony seeing Redditors creating threads and complaining about it as if they did anything during the API-gate saga

Good bot. I will say Google never had public dominance in AI products, only research.

Waiting for "Sinema reportedly kicks newborn puppies" article to continue the heelturn to the next logical step.

They will have to live with the ramifications the longest. I suppose politics is always been that way where the least engaged suffer the most dire consequences

They Streisand Effect'ed the fuck out of themselves
