  • People migrating to iPads maybe? I figured that Mac and Linux both would be making gains. Especially with apple silicon being 3 generations in and windows 11 sucking so much.

    Wonder if iPads are cutting into that all. Considering they are cheaper than a MacBook which basically requires you to drop at least a grand for entry level devices

  • Future Student Question: MacBook, iPad Pro, both or something else?

    Jump

  • I am replacing a 2013 MB Air, I will probably be getting an M3 iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard because we don’t currently have an iPad for mom and dad (we have one for the kids but it’s signed in to their account and full of games and videos and has strict screen time controls on it)

    One thing to consider is that if you do feel like you need MacOS but really want to go with the iPad, you can always Remote Desktop to the Mac Mini if you needed.

  • You likely don't have any liability but thats why Nintendo sued them and not you

  • It shouldn't be illegal, but it is because the law about it was written by the industry 25 years ago because our lawmakers think the internet and indoor plumbing work the same way.

  • Content Nation Backlash Highlights Mastodon's Toxicity

  • I absolutely agree with everything in this post, I’m am just now learning about this but I’m really disappointed to hear that this happened.

    I have looked past a lot of the toxic behavior of certain segment of neurotic individuals on the fediverse because I believe in the idea of protocols instead of platforms and user ownership of their data.

    But add this to another example of zealots for privacy and “stopping harassment” being bigger bullies than the people they are supposedly against

  • RTO doesn’t improve company value, but does make employees miserable: Study

    Jump

  • I don’t get this logic though. How does having a fake illiquid value for RE holdings make sense on the books?

    If RTO doesn’t increase value, then no one is going to up the lease at market value and so the property is going to lose value when push comes to shove. Wouldn’t you just take the depreciation now and write it off on your taxes if you own the building? If you are the lessor, why wouldn’t you keep pushing WFH so you can get a lower rate if you decide to renew the lease at expiration?

  • YouTube Kids TV app going away in July, replaced by main YouTube client

    Jump

  • It worked for our family. The kids can use YT kids to have access to their videos and I can use the YT app to have access to mine without having to worry about switching profiles. Switching profiles is a little bit above the level of understanding for a 6 year old. If it prompts you to select a profile every time you launch the YT app i guess its probably not a problem.

  • WordPress and Tumblr Plan to Sell User Content to AI Companies

    Jump

  • Yeah I’ve never liked Wordpress. But it’s pretty much the defacto CMS for noobs. I always have used my own self-built CMS’s on frameworks like Laravel but it’s not really practical for non-tech people or even businesses to self develop their own CMS unless they have really specific needs.

    I’m going to be honest, I didn’t even realize that Wordpress.org existed and was a non-profit; I just thought making the source available was something they did because you can’t really not do that as PHP framework.

  • I’m not going to play word police but I am going to attempt to change your mind. Dumb used to be the medical terminology to mean the same thing as what you said and it’s not considered a slur or a disparaging insult. And so the word does have more bite and it does have power.

    I’m not going to get offended if you keep using it as an insult but using it says more about the emotional maturity of the person who said it than it does about the person being insulted by it.

  • If Apollo for Reddit still worked, I’d probably still be there too. But at the same time I’m pretty thankful that things happened the way they did because it really opened my eyes to how dissatisfied I was with corporate social media and I feel so much more engaged in my hobbies and their communities now on the fediverse.

    It helps that I am already primarily interested in tech, web, and networking (with some retro gaming mixed in) so the fediverse was already a suitable replacement. I feel for people whose communities are dead here.

  • Google apologizes for ‘missing the mark’ after Gemini generated racially diverse Nazis

  • I agree with your comment. As you say, I doubt the training sets are reflective of reality either. I guess that leaves tampering with the prompts to gaslight the AI into providing results it wasn't asked for is the method we've chosen to fight this bias.

    We expect the AI to give us text or image generation that is based in reality but the AI can't experience reality and only has the knowledge of the training data we provide it. Which is just an approximation of reality, not the reality we exist in. I think maybe the answer would be training users of the tool that the AI is doing the best it can with the data it has. It isn't racist, it is just ignorant. Let the user add diverse to the prompt if they wish, rather than tampering with the request to hide the insufficiencies in the training data.

  • Edit: further discussion on the topic has changed my viewpoint on this, its not that its been trained wrong on purpose and now its confused, its that everything its being asked is secretly being changed. It's like a child being told to make up a story by their teacher when the principal asked for the right answer.

    Original comment below

    They’ve purposefully overrode its training to make it create more PoCs. It’s a noble goal to have more inclusivity but we purposely trained it wrong and now it’s confused, the same thing as if you lied to a child during their education and then asked them for real answers, they’ll tell you the lies they were taught instead.
