  • YouTube rolls out more unskippable ads that make viewers wait even longer to watch videos - Dexerto

    Jump

  • I'm trying out nebula because I saw your suggestion and honestly a year for $60 isn't terrible at all. But I'm having trouble finding creators (not because the app isn't good but because it seems a lot of the channels I follow on YouTube aren't on Nebula. I have two devices open actively going down the list of channels I follow on YouTube trying to find channels I want to follow on Nebula and so far I am striking out pretty bad. I hope I can get half the creators I follow on Nebula because so far it's pretty decent from what I have seen. App is easy to navigate and pretty polished etc.

    Is there a way to view who's on the service (creator wise) before paying for it? Because if not that's the major flaw with it.

  • This is why English does the thing. Thank you! Its something I noticed and know but couldn't put into words.

  • News outlets in crisis mode as Google-led AI search push crushes website traffic

    Jump

  • Fox news isn't legally considered a news outlet. In fact we have literally seen them admit to not being one in court proceedings.

  • News outlets in crisis mode as Google-led AI search push crushes website traffic

    Jump

  • In the context of my original comment, social media companies like Meta and Reddit have fought tooth and nail to not be considered news networks or news outlets specifically because they don't want to be beholden to the laws that regulate news outlets/networks. Jeopardizing their ineligibility to be sued for what users post (in the US) by going all in on AI LLM's scrapers when those scrapers rely pretty heavily on news networks and other media to stay useful means they'll starve themselves of AI scraped content, and that they'll potentially forfeit what protections against lawsuits they have. It's a no win situation for them to continue to bet on AI which has already largely reached the limit of what it's capable of in current iterations because of the lack of clean organic training data.

  • So social media are news outlets now. Good. Glad we cleared that up.

  • A Researcher Figured Out How to Reveal Any Phone Number Linked to a Google Account

    Jump

  • I did something of the opposite. I had a Verizon number. I moved it to Google voice. I had a second Google voice number that then became a google fi number. So now I have a Verizon coded google voice number (that my bank accepts etc), and a google fi number that was originally a google voice number. I'm curious how this honestly effects me. My work numbers have never been associated with my personal accounts so there's that.

  • Gemini will now automatically summarize your emails unless you opt out

  • If you already had smart replies or similar enabled (they were available before Gemini hit the scene) then you have to go opt out.

  • TIL blocking users on Lemmy is nothing but a placebo

    Jump

  • So, there's a inherent problem with blocking working both ways on a forum style site or platform like Lemmy.

    When you block someone and the block goes through, if it works both ways, that means your comments or exchanges with that person disappear. The problem with that? They disappear for you and the person you blocked. Anyone else who comments can see the thread. But you both no longer can. So say someone comes along and responds to you on that thread. Or to the other person on that thread? Will their comment go through? Will you be able to see their comment? Will you be able to reply to their comment?

    It becomes more complicated and further can affect users not related to or involve with the block depending on how it's handled and for the most part that's problematic.

    I think we should be differentiating a "block function" (and neither the twain shall meet) from a "mute function" (a one way filter).

    I feel like this might genuinely just be better than giving people a false understanding of what the filter they are using does.

    Why do you block people?

    Jump

  • I block people mostly because I don't want to upvote anything they have to say in the future. Usually because something they have said to me or someone else is so egregious that I don't care to know what else they might say.

    The other reason comes down to harassment, or deliberate misuse of tags.

  • Google's AI now listens to your English language phone conversations

    Jump

  • My biggest issue right now is trying to figure out what I need/want to work vs things I don't need. This list is one I've been keeping of things that I want it to do/be compatible with:

    -Weather

    -Calendar

    -News/RSS Feed

    -Light Panel

    -Media Panel

    -Search Query Panel

    -Use of Voice controls

    -Singular touchscreen hub and android phone

    -Works with Google home max speakers and Google nest mini speakers

    -Chromecast equivalent functionality

    It's based on the things I use Google Assistant for daily or at the very least weekly. Most all of it can be done with an android tablet and my raspberry pi. But implementing it to be the way I want isn't as simple (hasn't been as simple for me) and I think that's down to following guides for a lot of things that weren't necessarily intended to work together cohesively.

  • Google's AI now listens to your English language phone conversations

    Jump

  • So, I have several legacy Google Assistant compatible devices that do not work with Google's new AI. As a result I haven't switched over to Gemini for pretty much anything and I probably won't. I'm currently building a Home Assistant system to take the place of Google Assistant when it finally sunsets but the going is slow (I have limited time to dedicate to that specifically at the moment). But for phone specific use, I'm taking the wait and see approach.

  • I have a Google voice number. You actually can't. You can get spam filtering which works sort of but definitely not in the same way. I have never had a Voice call use Google's call screening on graphene os for instance because it doesn't work. I have graphene os running on a pixel 8 pro for the purposes of seeing what works and doesn't work to see if I can ever daily drive it. I like graphene os a lot but rely too much on certain Google specific android features and that's what my first comment was generally talking about.

  • Which weekend cat are you?

  • Lol. I'm the whole left and middle sides.

  • Google's AI now listens to your English language phone conversations

    Jump

  • Part of the reason I haven't yet moved away from Google services on my pixel is because of the call screening and anti-spam features. I screen unknown callers pretty much all the time so Google is listening if they call me anyway. I'm fine with that, knowing A. That the callers get a heads up that they're talking to an AI and being recorded and B. That the ones who are human and trying to scam me generally don't call back once they know the line is being actively recorded.

    There's no feature parity for this on any of the roms I would move to. Taking it a step further is unnecessary for me, and I'll probably opt out. But I can fully understand why someone might want it (for their elderly family members for instance).

  • Stop Internet Searching and Start Asking on Fediverse?

  • This is what I do when I want to search Lemmy. I put Lemmy: "search for this" into the search box and see what comes up. It works better than Lemmy's internal search function a lot of the time.

  • First Look at Google’s Unfinished DeX-Like Desktop Mode for Android

  • Fuchsia? It became the OS for their nest line of products I think.

    Now they're doing away with chrome os I guess to make Chromebooks run android in an attempt to compete with Apple's iPad line. I actually suspect Dex is part of this.

  • Top Ten Reasons Americans Want Enormous Cars

    Jump

  • Nothing at all in this about how few actual cars are still being sold. Because the NHTSB have made it so that passenger vehicles require a certain number of safety features and fuel efficiency, bigger vehicles means more money for auto makers and not having to produce vehicles that are as fuel efficient or safe as their larger counter parts.
