@Mattr @Toasted_Breakfast They’re trying some things like lock-screen ads on some models too. Turned “off” by default (for now). But their Phone (3) isn’t getting that, if i understand correctly. Just the (a) models.
Back once again with the ill behaviour.

And no matter how much I may like your image of whatever I probably won’t Boost it if it doesn’t have good Alt-Txt. You know it makes sense.

@SkaveRat @brygphilomena Do you keep it in a bag like me so I can one day commission a knitted cardigan?


@XeroxCool @Entitle9294 I often read of people claiming to have broken many ports and/or cables. I can’t understand how they do it.


@Scorchx @WeirdGoesPro Their stupid admins permabanned me too. Same day, same reason as the erroneous automated ban. Apparently I was using a duplicate account to evade an earlier temporary ban.
Can’t appeal the appeal, so that’s that. #Reddit is a vile place anyway so no great loss.


@QueenHawlSera lol. they blocked my account for having been created to evade a previous ban. Which was odd. First account there.
Figured it was some automated bollocks they’d be able to check.
Appealed, they reinstated it. Then permabanned it later same day for same reason. Gave up.


@QueenHawlSera @nightlily pretty sure that you just have to consider reddit as having been very much broken for a number of years now.
They erroneously ban good users and encourage the trolls.
The only way the experience is bearable is just to block idiots yourself and not engage.


@markovs_gun @Abraxas Kids are being banned from all social media here in Australia soon. Including, it seems, YouTube lol.
Expensive and completely unworkable. Reminds me I must spin up that Mastodon instance for my kids and their mates :mastodondance:
It’s absolutely not about making sure everyone signs up to DigitalID.
@BeardedGingerWonder @BOFH666 always worth googling around for the Service Manual rather than User Manual for those things. And YouTube. Probably find the correct order in which to take it apart without too many curses.


@echodot @Redex68 off top of my head, script generation. making content more readable. dictating a brain dump while walking and having it spit out a cohesive summary.
it’s all about the prompt you put in. shit in/shit out. And making sure you check/understand what it spits out. and that sometimes it’s garbage.


@angrystego @RangerJosey pretty sure we agreed on WankerPanzer


@hendrik @muntedcrocodile then don’t use that app. Done.
@ParetoOptimalDev @asunaspersonalasst That’s the thing that put me off. I brain couldn’t reconcile the idea of de-Googling by buying something from Google.
@Voroxpete @silence7 something about Proton has never sat right with me. And having seen Brave used in the same sentence as “crypto” put me off them too. I mostly use Fennec or Firefox, with all the dodgy shit turned off


@iopq @threshold_dweller There’s been quite a few wired earbuds with ANC over the years. Not many now though. I would imagine they sound like a dreadful compromise.


@SquiffSquiff @some_guy They do that here to some degree. ISP’s DNS give a shitty warning about pirating if you try to visit any of the normal places for that kind of thing. Personally i just use a local DNS over HTTPS server. Which reminds me I need to see if he/she would like a donation.
@Wren @lmmarsano I think I might use that as my email signature
