Robust Mirror@aussie.zoneto World News@lemmy.world•Walmart Workers Share Photos of Price IncreasesEnglish12·4 days agoAlways have to clarify for the pedant that can’t use context clues…
I thought it was made up organically by internet users as the source, rather than repeated from some peice of media.
Robust Mirror@aussie.zoneto World News@lemmy.world•Walmart Workers Share Photos of Price IncreasesEnglish12·4 days agoI never knew this was from something. I thought it was just something people made up. I should have known better. Nothing repeated that much could be original.

Police detained him for it anyway.231·6 days agoYeah and it’s not just about how easy or hard the case is, lawyers know how to follow the rules, procedures, regulations etc. You’re honestly just wasting your and the courts time even if you win.
Robust Mirror@aussie.zoneto Technology@lemmy.world•A fake Facebook event disguised as a math problem has been one of its top posts for 6 monthsEnglish4·6 days agoIt’s so we don’t have to spam brackets everywhere
9+2-1+6-4+7-3+5=
Becomes
((((((9+2)-1)+6)-4)+7)-3)+5=
That’s just clutter for no good reason when we can just say if it doesn’t have parentheses it’s left to right. Having a default evaluation order makes sense and means we only need parentheses when we want to deviate from the norm.

9-1+3=?
Subtraction first:
8+3=11Addition first:

There was an exploit in version 0.17.0 through 0.19.0 (fixed in 0.19.1) that, from what I understand, allowed people to view DMs of anyone by reporting them, but as you can’t know the ID of a given DM you’re not part of, they couldn’t really target a specific user, but rather would just send reports to a range of potential IDs and see what comes back.
Robust Mirror@aussie.zoneto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex now want to SELL your personal dataEnglish2·9 days agoThat’s true, but tbh I only know about it because chat gpt put me onto it. I asked it how to access jellyfin outside my home and it told me tailscale and explained how to set it up pretty easily.
Robust Mirror@aussie.zoneto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex now want to SELL your personal dataEnglish51·9 days agoI set up tailscale for remote access and it was pretty easy and painless. Maybe not as “average user” simple as plex, but no harder than setting up lan games to play across the internet that non techy people were doing in my high school 20 years ago.
Robust Mirror@aussie.zoneto Technology@lemmy.world•Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will exist ‘because you still need childcare’English111·16 days agoA good AI, sure, this could be plausible. Current ones get too much wrong.
The much bigger issue is we’re talking about children, not adults. How many children would be motivated to self teach, every day, for years on end, even if you had an AI equal to a human tutor.

I no joke own about 900 games I haven’t played between steam (most bought when I was young and naive, probably bought like 10 games in the last 10 years now I know better), epic free games, and playstation plus monthly “free” games (not even counting the catalogue you now get access to), yes they’re technically not entirely free but I’d be paying for plus regardless so they kinda are.
Now as a lot of these games weren’t chosen by me, by no means do I want to play them all, and some are duplicates across platforms. But if even 10% interest me, that’s still 90 games. I probably play games at a rate slower than 1 per month. That’s years of games to me. And more will be stacking up in that time. I haven’t bought a game in like 3 years and it’s entirely possible I’ll never buy a game again at this rate.

Robust Mirror@aussie.zoneto News@lemmy.world•At least 50 migrants sent to El Salvador prison entered US legally, report finds4·18 days agoThat prison is literally hell on earth. Imagine being sent there for no reason. Likely for the rest of your life. It’s beyond fucked up.
Robust Mirror@aussie.zoneto Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube's new ad strategy is bound to upset users: YouTube Peak Points utilise Gemini to identify moments where users will be most engaged, so advertisers can place ads at the point.English1·23 days agoIt’s like 15 seconds every couple of videos. I mean I get it, but TV my entire childhood was 21 minute shows with 3 sets of 3 minute ads per 30 min block. Movies that were 90 minutes would stretch to 2-2.5 hours with the ads. I saw Titanic once and it was closing in on 5 hours. It’s really not that bad to me.
Robust Mirror@aussie.zoneto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex staff leaving review on Play Store for PlexEnglish12·24 days agoMy assumption isn’t that they’re all fixed, it’s that any particularly bad ones would be known about so I know to avoid it or not. Which appears to be the case.
Robust Mirror@aussie.zoneto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex staff leaving review on Play Store for PlexEnglish2·24 days agoI would imagine its harder to argue you don’t condone your users using it for piracy when you have a feature that automatically does stuff very closely related to piracy. I’m not going to get into an argument over whether it’s defensible legally or not, but it makes sense to me that they play it safe in general.
They’ll absolutely be possible, it’s crazy easy to make addons that edit webpages.
What will be really nice is if someone goes to the effort to make some sort of all in one AI blocker similar to an ad blocker, that removes AI summaries from all sources that have it, so we don’t need a specific add on for each site.
