As a dual booter such a dumb take. Mac and Windows are much easier for the masses. Have to debug stuff with Linux is not something the average wants to do or even can do. Not to mention the biggest problem, software compatibility. Also the last part gave me a chuckle. “Elderly people who are not familiar with advanced technology and prefer clean and simple computer usage.” Are you fucking kidding me? Mac is the way to go for old people IMO.

HisNoodlyServant@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•VW vehicles to converse with drivers via ChatGPT by mid-year1·1 year agoI have been spending a ton of time with Chat GPT 4 and really losing faith in what it can do reliably. Like I guess it could be fine if it is used like Google Assistant but I wouldn’t trust it about anything important. Been doing math refreshers and the AI just made up a solution that was totally wrong. After I called it out it just added another number randomly into the equation and wouldn’t acknowledged it lol. The point I am making man it is getting rushed into everything when it can’t be relied on.

HisNoodlyServant@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Meta Plans to Charge $14 a Month for Ad-Free Instagram or Facebook1·2 years agoWhen I used Facebook I wouldn’t of actually minded this if they also added some customization for your feed. However $14 is a big ask. Maybe for ALL their services including the Oculus.
There is still going to be a need for programmers and don’t think “AI” is going to be on its own anytime soon. Even using it as an assistant you need to know what you want and have some understanding of the code. Feel like most of what we see of “AI” right now is just propaganda so investors will throw money at them.

HisNoodlyServant@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Google doesn't work anymore ?English11·2 years agoSeems to mostly work fine for me. However Google as a company is a fucking mess so doesn’t surprise me people have problems. I have had more problems with my Pixel 7 and Google Maps seems to be getting worse and worse.
HisNoodlyServant@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Paying YouTube for views on your channelEnglish14·2 years agoYep he made a video talking about how his employee had some rare reaction to the vaccine and started to spew conspiracy theories and say that they aren’t wrong. Sucks I agree with his right to repair stuff but his channel is a total cesspool of right wing nuts now. Not to mention he moved to Texas and doesn’t seem to have a problem with some of their abortion and authoritarian laws.
HisNoodlyServant@beehaw.orgto World News@beehaw.org•Reddit communities adopt alternative forms of protest as the company threats action on moderators16·2 years agoI see some Youtube influencers saying the strike has failed. Looking at the front page it seems really screwed up still. Plus the website is going to be chaos if even a small percentage decide to troll.
HisNoodlyServant@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Weekend poll: Do you currently use a third-party Reddit app?English8·2 years agoBoost is still my favorite. I’m done after the third party apps are gone. Going to block Reddit in my router to stop me on desktop haha.
HisNoodlyServant@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Meta says its new speech-generating AI model is too dangerous for public release. - The Verge12·2 years agoOne thing I am hoping for with “AI” tech is to have better language teaching software. It would be crazy to have an AI teacher correct you mid conversation or be able to adapt to what you are struggling with.

HisNoodlyServant@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Alphv ransomware group claims to have hacked Reddit, threatens to leak data unless money paid and API changes reverted12·2 years ago80gb? That isn’t too much but guess if it’s internal information and docs could be damaging to a public offering.
HisNoodlyServant@beehaw.orgto World News@beehaw.org•Reddit CEO says the mods leading a punishing blackout are too powerful and he will change the site's rules to weaken them8·2 years agoFunny. That is a feature I wanted for a long time. Question is how in the world will it be implemented. Probably going to pull another Elon and only allow Reddit premium members to vote. Kinda shows the blackout is working and he is trying to find a ‘good’ PR way to weasel his way out.
HisNoodlyServant@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•EU suggests breaking up Google’s ad business in preliminary antitrust rulingEnglish1·2 years agoEU and the US need to get together and start breaking up large companies. Pretty much every industry is now a couple large corporations that are large enough to crush any upstarts, which you know if bad for innovation. Also will add a major overhaul on patents and IPs.
HisNoodlyServant@beehaw.orgto World News@beehaw.org•If we all cycled like the Dutch, CO2 emissions would drop by 690 million tonnesEnglish2·2 years agoBut that would require a small amount of effort. Seriously though I get some cities aren’t bike friendly (they could be though) but worked in a city that was pretty great for bikes. Small/medium sized manufacturing plant with a bunch of rednecks and almost all of them lived within 5 miles. Of course they were crying like hell when gas skyrocketed and other than me there was 2 people that biked. I think the best part is a good chunk drove gigantic trucks.
EVs are a greenwashing scam. Mass transit is the only way that is sustainable for our population.
Edit: I will add mass transit plus better city planning to increase density. Cars in general require so much infrastructure not to mention what we will have to do to get ready for mass EVs.
