  • I Bought Friendster for $30k — Here’s What I’m Doing With It

  • It's clearly a passion project but even his goal of it paying for itself is highly unlikely. More importantly, making sure those homebound, living in rural areas, using an android phone etc. are persona non-grata is just such a douchecanoe move. There's a lot of ways he could have incentivized IRL contact without telling everyone not able to do that that or running an android phone that they're not welcome on the platform.

  • Why do we have alcohol advertisements. We don't allow cigarettes to advertise

  • The reason for my comment is because the name of this community is "Unpopular Opinion", not "Ignorant Opinion". I was pointing out that it didn't fit the community's entire reason for being.

  • I don't think this could be considered an unpopular opinion. This is basically what the whole world thinks, minus a minuscule outlying group.

  • It's been long enough for the estate to start working on expanding the avenues of profit. They would see maximum profit long-term by rewriting his history.

  • I hear his big thing is to remove the power button from their entire line for being superfluous.

  • How closely are the feds watching lemmy?

    Jump

  • Do I think that some desk nerd is planting himself in /c/trumpisafucktard trying to catfish the members into a meetup so they can kidnap him, waterboard him and then deport him to Lithuania? Of course not. Do I think that they have at some point had human eyeballs on something written on the fediverse that got flagged by AI? You can bet your trump-hating ass they have.

    I imagine the feds(of all the letter varieties) have had the capability to scrape the entirety of the open internet and look for certain phrases or particular user data that meets their search criteria. If you think about it, Google has been doing it for years.

  • Scrapped out a soda machine.

  • Did you already turn the scrap in? Do you know what that valued at where you live?

  • Are there seach engines that dont depend Google and Bing, if not what are the barriers to entry of new search engines?

  • Kagi has independent indexes.

    Kagi Search Sources( source ):

    Kagi is known for delivering a unique flavor of high-quality search results, sourced from our own web index (internally named "Teclis") and news index (internally named "TinyGem"). Kagi's indexes provide distinctive results that help you discover non-commercial websites and engage with "small web" discussions surrounding a particular topic.

    We don't stop there; we are always trying new things to surface relevant, high-quality results. For example, we recently launched the Kagi Small Web initiative, which showcases content from personal blogs and discussions around the web. Discovering high-quality content written without the motive of financial gain gives Kagi's search results a unique flavor and makes it feel more humane to use.

    Our search results also include anonymized API calls to all major search result providers worldwide, specialized search engines like Marginalia, and sources of vertical information such as Wolfram Alpha, Apple, Wikipedia, Open Meteo, Yelp, TripAdvisor, and other APIs. Typically, every search query on Kagi will call a dozen or so different sources simultaneously, all with the purpose of bringing the best possible search results to the user in a split second.

    Our unique algorithms down-rank pages with a lot of ads and trackers (which we have found correlate with a decrease in content quality) and promote content from independent, ad-free sources and personal websites. This ensures that Kagi shows results that delight users and are worth paying for. Subscriptions from our members pay for search results, allowing Kagi to remain ad-free and 100% privacy-respecting.

  • Your New Therapist: Chatty, Leaky, and Hardly Human

    Jump

  • We need to reassess our relationships between ourselves and our communities and nation.

    I suspect that's much harder to do if you are one of the people your nation is trying to kill, deport or enslave.

  • That’s why they’re so sycophantic.

    At least in my experience, that behavior was easily squashed via the customization blurb in the settings. When I talk to my ai client, I don't get accolades, pandering or attaboys. It just tells me if if thinks my idea will work(it often points out my failures in logic) or answers the question I ask in a conversational tone. Since it provides links to all sources used in the answer, it's easy for me to read up on what it used and decide if it's a solid foundation of info.

    The rest of your reply to my comment doesn't really require a response from me since I never said it was the solution. I merely pointed out why some people are grasping at that particular straw.

  • Could you expand on your thoughts? Are you speaking of the people using ai as a therapist or confidant? I wouldn't but, at least in the US, younger people have been priced out of professional care.

    Aside from that, many have ended up in a hostile country so casual smalltalk with randos has become much less appealing.

    I can see the appeal of eschewing society as a whole in favor of a bot that I know won't ask me my political or religious leanings and then tailor their behavior around my answer.
