Procreate is software? That’s a relief. I thought you’d had sex on it… Or with it.

No idea, but I refuse to use it on principle. They are still some small communities in Reddit that I stay part of, but I come to Lemmy first.

This is hardly surprising. It’s immediately noticeable in images, but we’ll have to be very careful with other forms of output as the decline could be subtle enough to go unnoticed at first. There’s a very real risk of poisoning our sources of data by allowing AI to write back to them without oversight. And given that the sources of data seem to be things like Reddit and twitter this is a real concern.

I work in marketing and only recently realised how closed the internet has become. I’ve always held that social media can come and go, people can use messenger and Twitter and Snapchat and insta all they like but email is a always a leveller that always works - then I found out about sending reputation. There’s a reason no one uses their own mail servers anymore, if you set up an email server on your own hardware then there’s a good chance that your emails won’t make it to the recipients behind spam filters. Basically, if you want to send emails now then you need to do it through an established service.

Threads has not launched in Europe because it breaks European laws. Yet 100M people jumped straight on it.

And 40% dollamite?

He’s Australian, we’re used to getting screwed on pricing for everything.

I think I’ve learned over the years that I can like almost anything, and although I’m more likely to like music from my favourite genres, it’s possible I’ll like anything.

The most recent example I can think is that an artist I like did a cover/colab of Unholy by Sam Smith and after listening a couple of times I listened to the original and found I actually prefer that.

I also like things which are borderline not music, like The Shaggs.

Social media is literally nothing without its users. Do you think it’s technically challenging to create a forum, or a feed of brain farts? A few rich people seem to have forgotten that recently.

I’d prefer if Elmo had to be the first one to take his rocket to Mars.

They already had Instagram. Just take Instagram and replaced pictures and video with text. Job done. Tbh I’m not even sure why it needs a separate app instead of just adding it to insta.

If colour and response time don’t matter then consider a 4k tv. I use a 50" and it’s a great format.

Yeah I think we both replied with the same basic answer at the same time, you just beat me by a minute or two.

I used to have a screen shot of an error message from windows at uni (long time ago). When you tried to delete a certain system file from your personal network space you’d get the message “Unable to delete file xxxx. A file with this name already exists.”

Because lots of productivity tasks, including coding, involve looking at a reference material while creating the output. I’m frequently looking at a database structure on one window, an API document on another, and coding in an IDE.

You don’t necessarily need two screens, but it helps to have enough real estate to view two or more applications at once. Personally I use a 50" 4k TV and tile things in halves or quarters - which is the equivalent of having four 1080 monitors.

If they don’t continue to get AMA’s from celebrities then it’s going to be a fairly big hit to the site, I feel like that was a big pull for the “general public” type of user.

I know more than I ever need to about American drip coffee machines, and yet I don’t want one and wouldn’t know where to buy one here in Australia eveb if I did want one.

Really? It’s not uncommon for me to have a service through one company and have that company be sold to another. I can think of at least two banks that I was a customer of when this happened. Similarly I’m sure it’s happened with some utilities, and maybe a telco.

Done and done!

Jerboa is ok. It certainly isn’t perfect but it’s getting there. I’ve always liked baconreader too.
