That’s part of why I clicked the article, I was confused if I read it correctly

The article is nice, but I’m not sure if I’d send it to friends that aren’t familiar with the fediverse. It seems to gloss over some problems and focus less relevant ones

It doesn’t touch on the issues with Blueskys protocol and makes it sound like an equivalent choice (or worse, a better choice). In the downsides section it touches on racism in badly moderated instances, and the difficulty of setting up an instance. Those issues aren’t relevant to the vast majority of users who will join a large instance that has defederated from the bad stuff.

It’s a nice article for those who are already somewhat familiar, but a bad first impression

Very cool, thank you!

This is both really cool, and really unsettling. I wonder if this research might help in the other direction as well, such as with transplants and grafts

sarcasm is already hard to understand online, even harder for generative AI

I know sometimes I would take a peek at the person’s comment history to see if they were well informed / a shill for the product. The AI can’t do that

I’ve seen some dashboards around, is this what you’re looking for?

We also just spun up a new community for the MMR patients

!marinemammalrescue@lemmy.ca

Feel free to join :)

Huh, looks like the user doesn’t exist on Reddit anymore

Oops, should be fixed now

Thanks!

Oh I didn’t know there was a new app coming out, is the original one being rebuilt?

I think updates like that would do well on Mastodon, it’s the most popular right now so it has a wider reach / support. Similar to what would have been posted to Twitter before

I like !privacyguides@lemmy.one because the project is behind it

Whenever friends ask about resources, I always link them to the privacyguides website. I should use their community more as well

See if you can find a friend who owns a particular model and is comfortable letting you try it on. How it fits is the most important thing IMO.

Samsung ones seem reliable, but one big downside is that the app (Galaxy Wearable), has a number of required permissions. The app does not function without them, even if you don’t need those features. I’m not sure what the workarounds are, and maybe you can make do without the app, but here is the list:

• Calendar
• Call logs
• Contacts
• Nearby Devices
• Phone
• SMS

I was about to recommend Heliboard since that’s the best one so far IMO, but it also doesn’t have emoji search. Turns out I was using the “recent emojis” menu

That might help in the meantime till a better recommendation comes around

There actually is a bot here for that

@RemindMe@programming.dev 12 hours

I’m fuzzy on the details, but I do get reports from users on another instance as long as it’s “relevant” (ex. in one of our communities, one of our users)

Banning a foreign user on our instance will fix the problem for our instance, but they need to be banned on the home instance too in order to stop the spam from continuing

This makes me think of people who have trouble in airports because their name is similar to someone else’s.

Only this is going to be much harder to deal with

Somehow I never tried looking at Digg

It reminds me of the original “Your doctor doesn’t want you to know these 8 tricks for belly fat” ads, only that’s the actual content?

One thing I noticed the other day, while banning one such bot, is that the same network has been posting on Reddit as well.

Turns out the Reddit ones have been posting the spam for months, while the Lemmy ones get banned within hours.

Part of that is the lower volume of content here, but part of it is also the great people that take the time to report bad content ♥️

Same idea as new-reddit with its ‘views’. It doesn’t make sense how some post on a local subreddit gets a few hundred impressions immediately, even when posted at 4am. Meanwhile the actual organic comments on the same post follow the average human wake/sleep cycle

I wonder if advertisers are also fooled by those numbers, or if they use a different way of measuring
