  • It's hard to explain, it's more an emotional thing than a logical thing. Death by a thousand cuts kind of thing.

    • I don't like Apple choking out in-app purchases like they tried to make it even on Safari if you use Amazon website they wanted 30% cut...
    • I don't barely use any of the lock-in ecosystem like iCloud, I don't trust "automatic backups", I don't understand or see the mechanism of.
    • I wish I could actually access the file system when plugging into my PC.
    • It doesn't support Linux at all.
    • I can't download my movies I purchased onto my devices for backup.
    • As an intermediate photographer, the camera really pisses me off.
    • They updated the default keyboard years ago so swipe to type is awful now and I had to install GBoard.
    • I don't really trust Google either.
    • I wish I could install Firefox and add-ons but Firefox is just Safari with a trenchcoat.
    • I can't sync things to my iPhone properly.
    • Apps don't really work properly in the background, they keep going to sleep. Even just switching between 2 apps to copy paste by the time I come back it's killed the first app to save memory or something. I have plenty of memory.
    • Web apps suuuuuck and keep logging me out and losing state.
    • I hate notifications and being "always online" and social media. It makes my head hurt and it's so hard to curate your notifications. Like I want discord to tell me about messages but not about Nitro promotions at 9pm.

    I'm probably forgetting things too, but really it's just a combination of factors. I feel like I'm paying a lot for things I don't want or use. Honestly give me a phone with no apps apart from phone and messages, and just great Firefox web app support, and I'd probably be happy. My phone is an iPhone 13 so it's getting a bit old, but I'm not sure yet what I actually want... Just thinking about it for now. Thinking about maybe something wildly different.

  • The thing is, you can't predetermine if they'll have cancer or some other rare conditions before existing. There's very good screening tests nowadays to help prevent that as well. To me, it seems like a strange morality for that to be your reason to avoid having children. It's anticipatory grief, like not making friends because they might die. By the same logic, what if your child is the one that discovers the cure to cancer? In that case, it's cruel not to have them, but you can't know, so it's a moot point. Unless you do know, in which case send me a DM, I'm in need of a mystic.

    Hereditary conditions are a whole different conversation.

  • I find the "force fem" and egg image comments on BlueSky kind of disturbing... Is this an "in joke" or are people being gross?

  • You know in Minecraft when you dig straight down and fall into a cavern and break your legs, and then your hole is all fucked up and you can't really salvage it? Like that

    What online sites allow free speech?

  • There is no mainstream website. You would need to look into something like the dark web, but I wouldn't recommend it. If you just want to see what bots contributions look like, check out Moltbook. It's pretty trash, but also mildly interesting. I wouldn't really enjoy striking up a conversation with those bots.

  • How do you keep track of articles/web pages/etc. you want to refer back to?

  • I have a tab group on my phone where I move all tabs I'll look at later. I think there's over 1000 tabs in there now

  • Worth noting this is specifically for "A.I. agents". The problem listed in the article, is that the current web is supported by advertising. Ads mean nothing to the bot, and don't generate revenue for the website, and also outnumber human viewers by a huge amount, meaning a huge cost and revenue loss.

    The aim of this technology is you would give your A.I. agent access to a "stablecoin wallet", and it would automatically pay for services it accesses when you ask it to do things. I've never used agents or stable coin so this is all meaningless to me. Hopefully someone else can chime in with what this would mean in practice for users of these technologies.

    This is what we are building toward: an agent-first Internet with Internet-scale settlement built in. Where the people who make something worth paying for get paid by the software that uses it, automatically. [...] and the independent creator is paid by the large language models that use their work.

  • Poll: Frequent AI chatbot users more likely to believe anti-vaccine myths— Poll finds use of AI tools for health advice is correlated with belief in vaccine falsehoods, such as shots causing autism

    Jump

  • It is an interesting use case. When A.I. first really became a thing I put in my symptoms and it told me I have a combination of three health conditions. Went to a doctor, specifically asked for those tests, and I had 2/3. These were very obscure conditions that doctors don't normally test for or know about, and up 'till then I'd assumed it was all in my head. But if I'd blindly trusted it I'd think I had an extra condition.

  • I had 1 tomato plant that made 4 huge tomatoes per day. I had to prop it up from sagging, it was a monster. It was great though, I made so many tomato based meals, that one plant basically fed my whole family for months. All I did was, good soil, in a pot, watering it every day, in a sunny but not burn-y location. I think that's all plants though, and I know my advice is equivalent to "draw the rest of the owl", but gardening really is just doing the basics very well

  • I always thought it would be cool if you could just leave AR notes lying around. Like put a digital note reminder on the fridge. Or a cute meme or joke somewhere your partner would find it. Or an IRL message forum that only exists at a specific location, you can't access it remotely. I dunno how you could implement that, but it would be interesting.
