True but LLMs genuinely are useful when you want random things like fiction, roleplay, etc.

Wow, that is something. People are so fucking touchy about this war. This extreme prejudice against people who are even slightly anti Ukraine are banned left and right, no nuance.

Making a new browser is easy.

Then why doesn't anyone else do it? We have only 3 real browsers.

Then it should not be used for getting the news?

I agree. The problem is it does not know that it is lying. As a whole, I would say it is our mistake to use it

If they have 34.5 billion lying around, why don’t they make a new browser themselves?

Thing is votes are federated. if someone makes an instance and farms votes by making bots on same instance, only instance owner has info about IPs. Every other instance thinks the votes are legit.

I recently learned that voting on lemmy is not anonymous. Anyone can get information about who has upvoted and downvoted a post or comment.

In combination with your IP, this is a massive privacy (maybe even physical security) risk. Also, people can target you for your votes.

Sadly, this is something where I would prefer Reddit over Lemmy. Big tech scrapes data from both places anyways, at least Reddit is safe.

So I tried windows tiling... (lemmy.today)

And omg! I have slept on this feature for so long. I assumed it was just dragging windows to corners and they snap on to the left or right back or top. Then, I installed PopOS and saw an explicit button to turn on windows tiling but I was already using the drag function, so I was confused. I turned it on and omg! I have not felt more stupid and happily surprised by a piece of tech in a while. It just works. I don’t have to be worry about arranging windows a special way for multitasking or for following guides. So much time saved.

How to make the most of it? Have you had a similar experience with something?
