Shocking, I wonder if the two are related

Pretty sure it’s just a joke post. Someone smart enough to make something like that is also smart enough to not put a neon sign over themselves with a post like that - if they were serious, I mean.

I would also call it “Sue me lol” button

They’re moving to Germany, but it’s still ongoing

I think it was just an example (poor one, true).

In my case, I just need to give access to my admin account in order for them to work - not the default admin account, to be clear.

Yeah, it’s what I said. Right now it’s defaulting to the cloud

For clarity sake, that’s not what’s happening here. (Don’t misunderstand this comment as defending google, I could write a book about how much they suck)

The model downloaded is a LLM called Gemini Nano, and it’s used for things like “help me write”, checking if an incoming message is scam, summaries, etc.

Don’t worry about it itself being a spyware. It’s not; but for argument sake, if we were to assume that it was: they already know a lot about you through their usual apps and services, and get a lot more info out of you through them. This LLM would hardly move that needle.

The actual issue is that they download it for everyone, even if their devices don’t match the minimum requirements. And without consent. And to enable it, you need to go through several menus, as the default behaviour is to use the cloud (this could change eventually, my understanding is that in this update they’re just laying the foundation)

But, it’s Google that we’re talking about. Last year they were sentenced to pay a fine for spying on users despite them having their tracking settings off. And it wasn’t the first time iirc. This kind of behaviour is par for the course with them

I use arch btw

The idea sounds reasonable to me.

Of course, between idea and execution a lot can change. But as long they take some sane design decisions (opt-in, transparent, sandboxed, give the user freedom to use their own API or local models, etc), I’m fine with it

I jumped on their github page and skimmed a few issues, and found this: https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/issues/1027

It looks like they just need to figure out a couple of issues before they implement notifications, so it might happen someday. But taking into account how old these issues are, it’s not their priority.

And then there’s that oh so small matter of Trump fucking kids

That was never a “serious” question in that sense. It’s just a philosophical paradox.

The real answer is that you need to look at the ancestry tree. There wasn’t a moment that a chicken popped up, it was a gradual evolution between an ancestor and until a point that we decided “yup, that’s a chicken”.

Thanks for the explanation mate, that makes a lot more sense.

I’m portuguese and I always thought that veado was the word, just that “e” was “stressed” to sound like “i”. I didn’t know until today that there were actually two words

Me: There’s no way that’s true

Me, after web searching: Huh…

Context: They have a betting game called “Jogo do bicho” (Animal game, direct translation). Number 24 corresponds to deer, which is “veado” in portuguese - which is very similar to"viado", which is a slur for gay people persons.

I still doubt these candles are popular though.

Now why would he need help with a war that he won 11 times already?

CARALHO!!!

Translation: Install Nyarch Linux

Kind of, I could think of a few examples in english:

outlook : look out

Overlook : look over

Overtake : Takeover

Upkeep : Keep up

There might be others that I can’t remember right now. I don’t know if for you most of these are cheating since they become two words instead of just being one.

In Portuguese, I really can’t remember any examples

I’ve been in fediverse since API debacle, I feel the same vibes as I do on Reddit, both the good parts and bad.

For example, same controversies on Reddit also exist here, and have the same talking points and flamewar nature. I had an opinion about Pitbulls (that an owner should be far more responsible than the average owner - I know, controversial take), which got me banned from that sub and several other furry related subs. Which is something that also happens on Reddit when you tick off a moderator of several subs

So for the most part, I’m just a lurker that comes here to get some memes. Sometimes I share my opinion if I feel like it. But I don’t necessarily feel that it’s an upgrade from Reddit in terms of communities.

Apathy is a powerful tool for fascist regimes. The same happened in Italy and Germany back in the day

Yeah that was a weird chapter in the bible
