  • Teams’ invasive Wi‑Fi tracking sparks backlash as users say Microsoft crossed a line — “There must be a team at Microsoft tasked with making Teams worse”

  • I surprisingly haven't had any issues using Teams on Firefox but maybe I'm just lucky...? Been using it for months now after uninstalling the app.

  • Teams’ invasive Wi‑Fi tracking sparks backlash as users say Microsoft crossed a line — “There must be a team at Microsoft tasked with making Teams worse”

  • I've been using web client for work because the app takes seemingly over 50% of my laptop's resources. Went from waiting 2-3 minutes for Teams to open at the beginning of the day to 10 seconds. Highly recommend.

  • ‘Unbelievably dangerous’: experts sound alarm after ChatGPT Health fails to recognise medical emergencies

  • A little harsh. Some people (myself included) may not be getting the help or answers they need from a doctor. My insurance sucks ass and each time I see a doctor it's at least $400. Repetitive appointments with no real answers. No diagnosis. Just chronic discomfort.

    Then the other day I decide to actually summarize everything I've tried, everything that hasn't helped, and all my symptoms to an AI, and it was able to at least give me suggestions on what it COULD be, and what I can do to alleviate some symptoms. While I'm not convinced the AI knows exactly what's wrong with me, I at least have more options to stay in control rather than feeling overwhelmed by it all.

    Maybe don't use AI if something's wrong that just started happening recently, but for chronic illness it may be beneficial for learning other ways to cope without spending hundreds of dollars to see a specialist that only has ~30 minutes to understand an issue you've had for 10 years.

  • Feels like a technique the Trump admin would use to justify something atrocious. "This thing that's always been around? Yeah it was temporary and we're finally getting rid of it! Nobody even used it!"

    life pro tip

    Jump

  • I had nice plants at the last place I lived but had to move back in with my dad about 2 years ago and his orange cat eats LITERALLY anything green and leafy. All plants I brought with were either eaten to death or moved to inadequate spots in order to be saved from being eaten, only to die from lack of proper light...

    I wish I could grow plants but sadly I live with demon spawn and nothing I've tried has helped lol.

  • What launcher should I replace Nova with?

    Jump

  • Seconded, been using the fossify launcher for probably over a year now. Only thing I wish it had was customizable icons, but otherwise it's perfect.

    March for Billionaires — San Francisco, Feb 7

  • Something like this could be beneficial as it would publicly show that absolutely nobody supports the billionaires.

  • Started a new playthrough of Elden Ring 2 weeks ago and had no idea about this. Thank you lol.

  • Something to help lead people to the Fediverse

  • It kind of looks like Stoat is just an Open Source Discord clone? While the idea is great, it looks like all their servers are hosted by them (correct me if I'm wrong). Was really hoping for some kind of self hosted Discord where all the data is stored locally. I use Mumble currently, which is great for voice chat, but there are simply not enough features.

    Edit: Actually I found the github page and it seems like there is a way to deploy this locally. Disregard

  • I wonder where Garmin fits into this. Don't see them mentioned anywhere.

  • It'd probably be more beneficial to read the article directly from Anna's Archive where they display plenty of graphs and infographics to make the data understandable. Unfortunately this article has none of that. The "over-focus on popular artists" is quite literally meaning they're only missing artists who aren't being listened to, most of which are probably AI anyway.

  • Mozilla's New CEO: It's Time to Evolve Firefox Into an AI Browser

    Jump

  • Personally I've heard of 3 other "Foxes"; Waterfox, Ironfox & Librefox. Anyone know the differences between these & the use cases? I've been wanting to switch off Firefox to something more privacy-focused and this has given me a good push to do so.

  • Music Sites

    Jump

  • Soulseek is very easy to use. Been using it for over a year now. Not sure how it's not more popular as I've been able to find lossless versions of just about everything. Highly recommend.

    My experience with Lidarr (tried it after they fixed their DB problem) has been pretty poor, and doesn't seem to download music into album folders for some reason.

  • Chrome increases its overwhelming market share, now over 70%

    Jump

  • From what I've seen they're only adding ways to use AI more efficiently from the browser, it's not like they're developing their own AI, or forcing anyone to use it. It's not even an obvious feature either, and you need to set it up with an existing AI service.

    So on the AI enshittification scale, I'd rank Mozilla pretty low (unless there's something I'm unaware of)

  • Taxed indeed

    Jump

  • This is exactly how I feel looking at this "meme". It's all money related and feels like it's encouraging people to say things like "oops I forgot to cancel my Amazon prime subscription, I must have ADHD haha". We live in overwhelming times, too much information everywhere, too many subscriptions, too much stuff with instant access, but nobody ever mentions that.

    People used to get their news from a newspaper once a week. There weren't 10-20 "subscriptions" to keep track of. You couldn't pull a thing out of your pocket to relieve boredom or sadness or loneliness, and people couldn't contact you expecting a response within an hour. We're not used to this biologically...

    To me, this meme seems to be making fun of ADHD more than anything.
