I’m glad nearly every word in this image is highlighted so I’d know what to read.

(I’m just joshin’)

Is this the same guy who wrote a big op ed about how the democrats should run Mitt Romney?

Kinda over this dude.

“accurate”

Google Gemini: “Uhh…eat glue I guess?”

Infrastructure Week will be next week, I promise.

I’ve done that as well, myself.

I already have every job to at least 60, and several to at least 90, so fortunately I’m not starting from scratch. But it’ll be a journey.

I have realized, though, that I’ll be able to get at least one mount from centurio seals from doing the level 60 hunts. I didn’t know about that until I started.

Yeah for real.

Just gotta wait another couple years. In the meantime, I guess I’m getting all my FF14 jobs to level 100.

I mean, I agree that I’d rather have 60fps be the standard with the better graphics.

But that’s the argument that the other person should have made rather than “they are locked at 30 and they suck” since technically that’s not true (on either counts if you enjoyed the games).

Wait, which FF runs only at 30fps? The last two (16 and rebirth) have performance modes like has become the standard this generation.

Yeah, I don’t really understand how you are getting downvoted for saying this in various comments.

Are people actually worried they would would see straight up ads coming into their mastodon feeds if their server federates with Threads? That’s a pretty wild assumption to make.

If you follow the Coke brand account, then you’ll see Coke brand posts (even then I wouldn’t consider those “ads” in a traditional sense), but if you follow MBKHD or, hell, the Barack Obama account you won’t have a sudden influx of ads for Pepsi or whatever in your feed.

“I think there has been a lot of inequality in that only certain people can get financing […] so this notion of decentralized finance is obviously very appealing to guys like me who have been debanked,” Donald Trump Jr. said in the interview on Locals.

Ha. “I’m toxic to banks so we are going to try and grift our idiot followers” is fun.

Good luck with that.

Stock goes down, elon makes promise he can’t keep to try and make it go up. Rinse and repeat.

Me, being old, thinking about the kids who might see this and not understand it at all.

Gross.

Remember: never trust google

Gabe owns so many yachts.

“Ready”

They were probably like, “Finally, I can go to a company that doesn’t force me to use a Dell.”

Yeah, I agree with this take, though I did see an article that quoted Tim as saying they wouldn’t be able to totally get rid of hallucinations, so I’m still a little reserved on it all.

The biggest thing in the last couple of weeks is Microsoft showing off the half baked Recall “feature” that let your computer take photos of basically everything you do. The idea that you could search for something you did in the past using normal language is interesting, but the implementation was terrible. So that’s a big strike against MS, so much so they now are recalling the beta release of that. MS doesn’t have a good track record with things that are supposed to be local that somehow end up not local; I believe there was a big issue on xbox where local screenshots were still being monitored by the cloud somewhere. MS also loves shoving ads down your throat and turning back on features you have explicitly turned off. There’s no trust.

Apple certainly has their own issues, but as others have said, they have at least outwardly been a privacy first company, at least in marketing materials. They were one of the first to build in “secure enclaves” into phones and PCs so biometrics couldn’t get off of your device, for example. There’s a bit of a history, earned or otherwise, that Apple isn’t doing bad things with your data, so when they say their AI junk is private it’s easier to swallow.

That said, I still have yet to find a use for any of this AI junk across all platforms. I wish it all just stayed in the realm of intelligently making your photos a little sharper or whatever and not hallucinating things out of whole cloth. I’m actually happy my iPhone isn’t new enough to take advantage of this new stuff.
