My bank apps all work (though YMMV.) Ticket app worked (AXS.) I haven’t actually used google pay or google wallet for anything to know if they work.

Authy is the only miss I’ve found and it wouldn’t have mattered if i hadnt been caught in the midst of migrating to another app for that when they decided to be assholes.

She somehow managed to perform worse with women than Biden did (53% vs 55%.)

Volume.

I use Joplin on top of Nextcloud.

Yeah good point, the type of miles probably matters a lot.

23.54 crashes per 1,000 drivers in the past year.

If someone cared about actually comparing this, they’d normalize for the number of miles driven, instead of cherry-picking something so it sounds bad.

This is disengenuous.

I mean, detection is and will continue be an arms-race. I’ve had some success in tests, especially with smaller or older models. Of course openai will not want to pay to develop the detection tools, given the misaligned incentives there. It would be silly to expect them to do so without a government mandate, or something of the sort.

But all that is tangential to my point, since hand-writing would still only change how convenient it is to cheat.

students could simply use AI to author it and then just write it out.

It also wouldn’t prove anything useful, since students could simply use AI to author it and then just write it out. Then add onto that, writing it with pen would also make it harder to use automated ai-detection.

Something tells me they didnt think this all the way through.

it’s not like the art is gonna matter if the planet burns, is it?

I mean… You could use this same argument to justify literally anything. After all, it’s not gonna matter once the planet burns.

I believe that is patented

Yeah, I’d disable that if I could. I’d much rather have no thumbnail than an animated one.

Fuck them for these games. It’s an abuse of their market position.

Does Google offer a phone number for me to contact them about problems with their half-assed products? I’ve tried lots of times to reach a human being, but never raised a response as a private citizen.

That’s not what I consider negligible on my phone, which is already resource constrained. Yes, I have a problem with an app that intentionally wastes my valuable resources. I wouldn’t care so much from my desktop, but I mostly just use a desktop client to do things I can’t easily do on my mobile clients.

No big deal. It’s not as if my participation is especially valuable. I would just participate less.

edit: my objection is obviously more in principal than it is practical, but it would hardly be the first time I walked away from software (or a network) on philosophical grounds.

And use copper pot still with silver solder.

Never heard of, eg, Vioxx or thalidomide, I take it?

That’s a hard NO from me, dawg. If Lemmy goes down that path, I will just not comment. My account settings let me just block bots. I dont need my resources wasted so I can interact with the “good bots”.

What is it with people who think everything they don’t like should be illegal? Have you never read a history book? Authoritarianism is bad mmkay

Marmot makes great rain gear. I use their light rain jacket and pants for my backpack kit and it’s surprisingly lightweight and still functional. Not cheap, tho.

Yeah, that’s not especially enormous compared to startups in the valley offering huge equity alongside already generous compensation packages.
