The words “Ukraine” and “nuked” should probably be used with special care at this particular moment in history.

Gmail is the gateway to their entire product portfolio; no way they’d kill it.

Bdesign thought that the cut was small, like a paper cut, until blood started spurting out from the wound. The Tesla inspectors who were there and even described that the vehicle "can be dangerous" panicked but helped.

Oh good, multiple witnesses.

If they were truly concerned, they’d start giving it the funding it deserves.

The real issue here isn’t the AI-generated listings. The “reviews” being so obviously fake is what I hope gains more traction.

There’s something to be said about brand recognition, and Google just doesn’t listen.

So, it's clear that a small subpopulation is preferentially tweeting links to sources of misinformation, and for many users, they're the most significant source of exposure to these sites. So who are these people?

They're a bit more likely to be female. While both the comparison groups were roughly evenly split between male and female, the superspreaders were 60 percent female. They're also older, on average 58 years old, nearly 20 years older than the sample as a whole. And, while much of the misinformation about the election largely circulated within Republican circles, only 64 percent of the superspreaders were registered Republicans (nearly 20 percent were registered as Democrats).

and I am trying to figure out what is missing to get more people interested and using it.

A link to the project would be a good start.

At launch, Google's VP of Real Estate & Workplace Services, David Radcliffe, said the site "marks the first time we developed one of our own major campuses, and the process gave us the chance to rethink the very idea of an office." The result is a wild tent-like structure with a striking roofline made up of swooping square sections.

In other words, they erected themselves a circus tent. Ironic.

The deepfake Swift urged viewers to click a button and answer a few questions before the end of the day. The ad then sent people to websites mimicking outlets such as the Food Network, highlighting news coverage of Le Creuset alongside testimonials from fake customers, the New York Times reported.

Participants were asked to pay a “small shipping fee of $9.96” for the cookware […]

Honestly, it’s impressive that the scam worked given the number of hoops people had to jump through. I suppose at a certain point you’re so committed that the red flags on the screen look like hearts.

Sounds good for the world. Curious to know what else is being captured.

It’s not about me, it’s about sending people directly to the thing they’re reading about.

*Picks up wireless mouse* Hello, computer.

Connell wasn't the only actor surprised to find that props promised by the script didn't actually exist.

So there was never a dress rehearsal and the performance was a cold read? AI may be to blame for the bad script, but there many other points of failure happening here.

Attitudes like this are what turns the general public away from giving something the time of day.

If it’s fanfic, there’s likely no chance a copyright can be granted on existing copyrighted characters/themes.

You could relive booting up your computer at breakfast to get it ready to use by lunchtime.

If it’s Boeing, I’m not going.

It’s pretty cluttered with all those Mastodon instances. Would be nice if there was one Mastodon button and your browser remembered the instance you were sharing with.

According to Air Canada, Moffatt never should have trusted the chatbot and the airline should not be liable for the chatbot's misleading information because Air Canada essentially argued that "the chatbot is a separate legal entity that is responsible for its own actions," a court order said.

"Air Canada argues it cannot be held liable for information provided by one of its agents, servants, or representatives—including a chatbot," Rivers wrote.

To be fair, would you really want to debate best waifus with an unverified terrorist leader on Twitter?

I had this conversation with one of my instance’s mods about a month ago.

Essentially:

If provided with a court order, we could theoretically provide:

• Email address
• Record of all comments / posts made by the user
• Incoming/outgoing DMs for the user
• Voting activity made by that user
• Communities subscribed to

(I think that's everything off the top of my head)

IP addresses are not logged in the db or linked to a user, but if the RCMP shows up with a warrant and says "We want all IP addresses that submitted a comment at 09:11:43am PST Jan 16 2024" then I'd be able to get that from the access logs. Access logs are only stored for 14 days and then purged, DB backups are taken daily and stored for 30 days.

The Voyager app is essentially Apollo. It’s missing some things, but it’s close.

Didn’t help that this only played in my city for a limited time in select theaters. Give us blurays!

“We are gravely concerned about Meta’s practices,” a spokesperson for the Norwegian Data Protection Authority told CNN Thursday.

And yet Europeans will flock in droves to get everyone and their grandmother to make WhatsApp their default messaging app.

Well now I’m calling my children cross-legged goblin tyrants in public.

Not phased at all knowing that Uranus is bleached.

Just in time for the M3 Air.

Stitcher actually got shut down last August after the SiriusXM acquisition.

Totally agree. With that statement they’re treating both employees and bots like scapegoats.

The sources, however, claimed that Android-based smartphones, mostly those from Samsung Electronics, will be exempted from the ban, while the document explicitly states that “bringing in iPhones will be completely prohibited”.

The reason is purportedly because iPhones do not fully comply with the restrictions outlined by the National Defence Mobile Security, a mobile device management application operated by the military authorities.

For instance, when activating the security app, it begins to restrict several smartphone functions, including the camera, Wi-Fi, tethering, USB functions and the microphone.

Anything keeping Apple on their toes is good for everyone.

Percentage of instances is meaningless without knowing their representative size in the overall context of the fediverse.

Me: The internet ;) ;)

I got one as well. Didn’t know we had to cross a karma threshold to get an invite. I initially thought it was an open invitation to all users.

Handcrafted artisan satellites? Yes, please!

I’m surprised I could only find one in the wild. Even the reviews are blatantly generated.

The actual total two-way communication distance between Zhang and his patient was more than 20,000km, a considerable challenge since longer distances can cause more latency, or delay, between the surgeon’s console in one location, and the response of the robotic arms at the other location.

In this case, China’s 5G telecommunication network helped to lower the delay to a 135 millisecond latency, less that the 200 millisecond latency that various studies have identified as ideal for telesurgery.

I never would have guessed Cyber Surgeon could be on the Work From Home bingo card.

Similarly I used to follow news groups on Mastodon, but found I was missing stories in-between my other follows. I ended up switching to RSS readers like Inoreader to handle my reading instead.

I know it’s answer-adjacent, but I hope that helps.
