  • Android is now warning of Firefox sharing data

    Jump

  • Unfortunately I am primarily an android user, as I always have my phone with me.

    I shall give it a go for desktop at some point though

  • Friendship ended with Firefox. Waterfox is my new best friend ❤️

  • Just don't be a dick

  • This is what my back right pocket was intended for.

  • Kagi search engine now has a Fediverse search option.

    Jump

  • Sure, but I'm still feeling like complaining that there isn't a business that's made affordable pay-to-search a thing. (That I know of)

    I'm not taking back that $120 USD/year for search is way more than most people would be willing to pay

    Though yeah, I suppose saying their business model isn't working was hyperbolic, I must admit.

  • The business model just doesn't make sense then (using search partners).

    Because $60, let alone $120 US, a year is far more than most people would be willing to pay.

    Dunno what to say, it's just more than most people can justify paying for the service.

    I'm gonna stick with DuckDuckGo and the newly free mullvad cached search

  • Late stage capitalism coming in hot!

    Jump

  • This is because people assume that you should do it out of the goodness of your heart. Since you're not mass producing.

    Which is absurd.

    If anything they should be willing to pay you a premium for a high quality product produced in far better conditions.

  • I honestly wonder what these sorts of jobs are. I feel like I have barely any reason to use AI ever in my job.

    But this may because I'm not summarising much, if ever

    AI can't think, and how long emails are people writing to ever make the effort of asking the AI to write something for you worth it?

    By the time you've asked it to include everything you wanted, you could have just written the damn email

  • Kagi search engine now has a Fediverse search option.

    Jump

  • I'd happily pay for search, but Kagi is way too expensive.

    10 searches a day, for $5/month? (US)

    Like, that is way too much.

    I can receive thousands and send thousands of emails per day for that price. Is search really that much more expensive?

  • In Response to Amazon preventing to download books you bought: Some DRM free bookstores and publishers

    Jump

  • This is what I'm planning to do with some textbooks I want for my work.

    $200-$300 and you want me to download an app that may or may not even work in 10 years?

    Nah, I'm gonna future proof my access no remorse 🏴‍☠️

    I will pay though, because it's tax deductible, and also because it I ever get questioned on it (since I use them around coworkers and management), I'm golden.

  • Brother accused of locking down third-party printer ink cartridges via forced firmware updates, removing older firmware versions from support portals [see comments]

    Jump

  • I found this help article where they say "Although not all non-genuine supplies may cause quality issues".

    They said they recommend using theirs, but up until this they didn't say you couldn't.

    Plus, it's been universally understood that you have been able to use third-party cartridges. I really think if you're persistent enough, you'd get a refund in Australia. Because else (in Victoria at least) you could take them to VCAT for like $70, which will cost them wayyy more in lawyer expenses than the price of a refund.

    This is not legal advice, but I reckon a refund under Australian Consumer Law is extremely doable if they go down this path (for existing printers).

  • I'm curious how this will go down in Australia. Seems like a pretty solid slam dunk refund, oh the product doesn't work as advertised anymore?

    Cool, I've had this for 5 years and now I'd also like a full refund under Australian Consumer Law.

    Motherfuckers.

    (I don't actually own a printer)

  • Write down your set up codes on a piece of paper (or, just the important ones to get access to your digital backups) the others can live within your app of choice.

    (Keepass2Android is a great, free app. Just toss a couple of coins to your dev if you're feeling generous)

  • You are underestimating how many people will give up at the slightest inconvenience.

    I can tell you, when vigorously enforced, you can get the vast majority of a population to play within your walled garden (China, as an example).

    Sweden however, yeah, unless they wanna go full internet firewall, not sure exactly how they plan on enforcing this.

  • AI can't imagine an image full glass of wine because there are barely any images of that in any dataset out there. AI can't think, just massage it's dataset into something vaguely plausible.

  • It's almost like this not-for-profit, for-profit subsidiary thing is a cancer (or at least, my selection bias of late thinks so).

    Can someone ELI5 why a foundation can't develop these products directly, with a for-profit subsidiary? Is there something forbidden about rasing revenue for a not-for-profit via product sales? Would this even fix anything?

  • France’s Macron brutally fact checks Trump to his face

    Jump

  • I really wish the media would stop misusing words for clicks.

    He interrupted Trump to firmly fact check him.

    "Brutally"? Look at what they did to my boy "slammed". Suddenly brutally is going to mean, gently.
