World News@lemmy.world•What does a world without Airbnb look like?English
7·2 years agoI’ve given up on AirBnB in the last few years. When I first started, you could get great places for cheaper than hotels and it felt exciting having a house to yourself. I don’t know if the novelty has worn off or if the quality has got worse, but the last few times I’ve used it I’ve regretted it. “Check-in” is never simple. Bad directions to the place. Bad communication leading to issues trying to get the key. Stupid rules like having to put bedsheets in the wash. Reviews can’t be trusted. And it’s not even much cheaper than hotels now.
This doesn’t go for every AirBnB, I’m sure plenty are great. But a lot of times you don’t want the uncertainty.
Fuck off clean shirt
And when they have sci-fi helmets they have bright lights shining at their face. Surely that would be annoying.

News@lemmy.world•The US needs to build 2 million houses to revive the American dream of homeownership
2·2 years agoLook at some UK new builds on Rightmove and you will delete this. 1 decent bedroom turned into 3 shitty bedrooms just to make up numbers. You can’t even fit a bed in them all

News@lemmy.world•The US needs to build 2 million houses to revive the American dream of homeownership
15·2 years agoI thought Americans used sq ft to casually describe houses? Please don’t switch to number of bedrooms. That’s what we do in UK and it’s led to house builders squeezing closet-sized bedrooms into a house so they can sell it as a 4-bed.

Technology@lemmy.world•The ugly truth behind ChatGPT: AI is guzzling resources at planet-eating ratesEnglish
111·2 years agoStraight up misleading. Mentioning AI in the headline and then sneakily switching to “the cloud” (i.e. most of the internet) when discussing figures. They say it uses a similar amount to commercial flights? Fine. Ground the flights, I’d rather have the internet a million times over.
A lot of these are anger or high energy. What about when you’re hungover and it’s early in the morning? I went to a metal festival once and was woken up by Skindred - Nobody at about 8am. I don’t want metal in the morning! I want something safe and slow. Give me Journey or Snow Patrol.

Technology@lemmy.world•Is Your Phone Listening to You? | NOVAEnglish
171·2 years agoOn top of this, there’s lots of ways that they would get the data without secretly listening to microphones, which people may not be aware of in all these anecdotes. In the one above, maybe just one party member googled lab grown diamonds, or perhaps messaged a friend on Facebook messenger about their trick. Not sure if that gets analysed for ads but it’s more plausible than mics. Anyway if they’re all on the same WiFi then they’ll probably be on the same IP and could easily be shown the same ads, making all party members now ripe for a diamond ad.
There’s a well known video of a guy saying “cat food” around his phone, and then his phone shows Google ads for cat food. He concluded that it was secretly listening to him, because there was no other way for Google to get that info other than to shadily tap into his mic. He performs this experiment on a live streamed YouTube video
Because they listen to astrology?

71·2 years agoHe sounds alright to me, troubled past but came out the end ok. Doing hard drugs in the past isn’t a red flag imo, as long as you believe they’re done for good. Ignore all the terminally online people in here. Nobody’s perfect.
