It's what you get when you hit the home screen button on your phone. It's how you "launch" applications. It can include the home screen, the lock screen and the app drawer. Nova was the best of the third party launchers. SOO customizable. It's going to be frustrating to have to pick up a new one. Nova let me launch three different apps depending on how I swiped the icon on my home screen. I designed my setup and I haven't changed it in years. It's so convenient. Heck I paid for pro to unlock all the features even though I honestly only use about 1/3 of them.

nah I want guidance. give me a well directed game and it will feel open even if it isn't. The illusion of choice is more important than actual choice when it's done well.

I agree.

huh? My point is that women desperately want to protect themselves from bad men that's all. They're so desperate to protect themselves that even when they hear the app was hacked the result is just more women wanting to sign up. Which isn't unexplainable. For some of them this is life and death. I was just trying not to be so melodramatic as I expect the audience here trends against that sort of perspective.

Where did I say I care about that. My point is that clearly women feel very strongly about this which I understand. I'm not bothered by it or worried about it anymore than I'm worried about laws that enable women to report sexual assault. What I was saying is that I don't trust the technical aspects of the app developers. I think if you want to make a woman only app there are too many practical barriers. For instance sending in photo ID or picture validation runs into ugly women problems where mannish looking women might get rejected. I think the only secure way to make an app that's only for women is to have women pass the app the other women phone to phone. But it's slightly more trustworthy. That's the only thing I care about I just think it's inherently insecure. Men don't like being excluded and they hate being talked about and since that's this apps entire purpose the idea that some vibe coded it meant it was destined to get 'hacked'.

If anything the fact that it's still so popular just goes to show how much of a need this serviced. I wouldn't trust Tea at all but it does indicate that women feel very strongly that they need a way to share information about men. For women this is such an extreme need that ever after two leaks the desire hasn't even leveled off.

For my money the most surprising thing is that Tea somehow didn't anticipate this and really focus on their security. Because obviously they were going to get the entire might of the manosphere banging on their security. The fact that they were EVER taking driver's licenses and saving that data is just so mind-bogglingly dumb.

As any good Catholic or Jewish or Muslim or heck any religious person can tell you, guilt can be exploited. If people can be exploited through their guilt. Why wouldn't a machine that's programmed to respond to guilt? This is like trying to bring two north poles together. They slip and slide around each other and eventually you just have to realize it's not going to touch.

You're not going to solve this AI issue because you're AI is never going to be "everything" unless it's a person. You'd have to design guilt and then design a system of assessment to determine if the guilt is fair or not. Then your AI is just gonna need a therapist and AI Therapist is going to be a human job for a bit until they decided to AI the AI. Then they'll realize they can just grow the AI and at that point you're simulating raising a good person and we've burned down 3000 forest just to create a shoddy imitation of a human because a human is the only thing that can slow into the overly wide scope you have for an AI. You want something to create copy and make sure that copy isn't racist or facist or overly sexual or asexual that is attractive to people but specifically your target audience.. stop trying to AI something that needs a person.

Against a man so rich he rented Venice? Probably not well. I'd say a good 60-70% of the problems with have with any specific corporation is due to monopoly, regulatory capture and inconceivably vast wealth disparity. We have laws and systems that prevent and can attack things like this but laws don't matter when you're the only game in town, you heavily influence the regulators and you have more money than your anyone who would say differently. The only way to fix it to attack one of those and the only feasible one is regulation. Give teeth to the regulators let them break up these obese companies. Into if not lean at least merely fat only marginally advantaged companies.

i mean that's a nice thought but I tried to buy an MP3 not from apple and it's kinda hard. If you google an artist they have a linktree with their latest single but all the links are various streamers and Apple. Sometimes they link to Amazon but in my country Amazon doesn't sell MP3s. I can't confirm that but I spent 3 hours looking for where to buy MP3s and not stream them and I gave up. I've done it before when I lived in the US I bought like 50-70 MP3s from Amazon but where I am now there's literally nothing i can find. Used to be bands would sell the MP3s on their sites but no more. Best I can find is paying premium for master quality DJ tracks which .. works but is more than I really want.

it's basically all the tech bros saw those "rabbit" and similar devices and they just assumed the public would buy in. To a streaming AI wearable widget with no screen and assuming those are all blowing up about now they have to reconsider the value of a cell phone.

The problem is no one bought into those POS trashboxes. So they sound dumber than usual.

>Historians

lol. why bother reading past documents when you can just trust the AI to tell you what it says. I still remember when a sponsor was flooding YouTube with a service that would summarize a book in a 5 minutes any classic book and I was just constantly baffled at who this is for? The idea of a five minute summary of The Count of Monte Cristo just made me cringe. They say it gives you enough to be able to talk about the books but it can't. That's just silly.

That's a tiny list of 40 jobs and all it tells me is that someone is planning on using AI for things you should NOT use AI for. AI had it's place within limited targeted scopes like spellcheck. But even things like translation can't be replaced with robots as anyone who is bilingual will tell you. It can make you passable and you can order food but you can't just replace translators entirely with robots. That's silly and anyone reading fan translated manga can confirm this.

yeah our Play Asia prices were cheaper in my area but I do have a few harder to find games from Asian carts. I thought I'd be more annoyed with them than I am the only issues i have are some of them don't recognize other people playing the same game because it has the Japanese title instead of the NA one.

I mean maybe YOU did. I never have. I remember when video games went on sale. Heck I remember when video games prices used to drop. Sure it was $50 but if you waited till it became a player's choice it was $20. For a while I used to try to get black label games for red label prices then I saw Burnout Paradise on sale and stopped caring. Great use for $20.

I'm still trying to convince the developers with my buying habits that maybe "open world" isn't the game design for EVERY game. There has to still be some meat on the bones between railroad and open world. Because I haven't been impressed by an open world in two generations.

I mean they act like these cars haven't done anything to anybody until this time when someone died and heck it wasn't even their fault.I'm pretty sure there was an AI car that saw a person in the road, collided with them and then stopped seeing the person in the road and then kept driving because it didn't detect the person under the car

So many of the articles are paywalled but I did find Cruise Didn't Tell Anyone That A Woman Was Dragged 20 Feet After Being Pushed Into Robotaxi and [Woman dragged by Cruise robotaxi gets over $8M settlement: Report].

Now it seems like initially it was reported that Cruise's car hit the pedestrian and that was incorrect.

What Cruise did not say, and what the DMV revealed Tuesday, is that after sitting still for an unspecified period of time, the robotaxi began moving forward at about 7 mph, dragging the woman with it for 20 feet.

But hey she lived and got between 8-12 million dollars. So I guess it's not a problem. Wonder if they've taught the cars to detect human screaming yet.

oooooh. A libertarian. That explains the lack of reading comprehension and excessive autofill. Never mind then. I thought you mattered.
