Thanks for getting what I said about paper, too. Some people will stop [thinking] at nothing to find something to which they might object.

I hear they have a treatment for your tyrant defense syndrome, it involves sticking a light bulb up your ass and injecting bleach.

The answers are continually getting worse, too. If you ask it about anything technical it will hallucinate functionality that doesn't exist! Go to this settings page, click this thing... it's not there! It also refuses to answer any questions which are actually interesting, and it absolutely refuses to provide useful numbers or percentages. What a festering worthless pile of shit Google has created there.

Nope, you just proved you're not missing any important context there, because you got it.

If you don't think the medium matters then there's no potential for a meeting of minds here. It matters to people who aren't you, and you can either accept that or not.

People paying for newspapers got a tangible thing with intrinsic value (bird cage paper, oil change mat, emergency bumwad) for a small price, and an experience that they do not get with a website because everything is samey when experienced in the browser. There's nothing else quite like reading a newspaper, although that went downhill too — cheaper paper, smellier ink, same-ier news. When most papers are mostly just reposting the AP on paper, why not just read the AP online?

The feds have got to love how much data Google grabs on everyone, they can surely get any of it for a price, and it's not even their money. Even if we were doing antitrust these days (which we mostly aren't) they wouldn't want to break up Google any more than they do Microsoft or Apple.

What's the news media got left? Go full Idiocracy in a bid for eyeballs?

Even were it true, has this clown (the GP) seen the current guy?

In this case, every action he's taken supports only one end goal: Doing as much damage as possible to the United States and Ukraine, up to and including the destruction of both if possible. Now who 1) would want to make that happen, 2) controls Trump's purse strings because they're the only ones who will bank with him, and 3) has a lot of embarrassing intelligence on him?

Speaking of similar issues, how did this age?

Yes, I'm talking about Discover, which is the default when you go to bsky.app. If it's totally untargeted that explains why it sucks.

Yeah, it's pretty sad how this guy needs to show us on a picture of the internet where the DEI touched him.

That is also true. I have done it in both KDE and XFCE and it worked fine in both places. In both cases it's in font settings.

I use Bluesky, and I have been kicked off of Twitter for saying not so nice but also true things about Elon Musk (no fact checking to speak of, just got the boot) so I can't compare them now. But some things don't work right. Their algorithm shows me a lot of kinds of stuff I never interact with, though it always is showing me new accounts. I guess by "we don't have an algorithm" they meant it was very primitive. When I try to post images they come up as all black in the correct dimensions. It worked for a couple of days and then stopped. This includes thumbnails for webpages. Apparently this only happens in Firefox so it's tempting to think it's their fault, but it doesn't happen to me on any other site so clearly Bluesky is doing something weird and problematic. Other people have reported the same problem, so it's also not just me.

Today, they are bring it to specific devices.

Later, others will bring it to others.

I do feel a bit left out, though. Most android users do definitely get a shorter stick when it comes to update lifespan. I am still on 11 or something. How long before there's a serious security issue that can't be fixed with a play store update?

It's mostly their fault you have systemd as well if you're not a redhate user, because Debian's main excuse for adopting it was that GNOME was doing so. If you are, well, you can only blame yourself. Though also, at this point, you have non-systemd options.
