Websites and articles that have nothing to do with search or Google have to be designed specifically for Google’s search algorithm. I think that’s pretty crazy.

Yeah, I added 2FA. I will try disabling it to see if anything changes.

It’s been a month since I’ve been able to post anything from my lemmy.world account using any app.

I’m not blocking ads, I’m just avoiding them.

What are you talking about? No one called the existence of Firefox into question.

Go to the librewolf shop and walk out in a rain coat.

A more privacy-preserving alternative to tracking does not sound privacy-preserving to me.

I would need spreadsheets and slideshow presentations as well.

Well if she was just looking for any reason to sue, well congrats to her then. She stumbled across a really good one.

Well one or two other people doesn’t sound too promising, so I get the concern. If you do get curious, I would consider making a post on one of the main kbin magazines probing if people are interested in helping crowd-fund an apple dev account for you. $100 isn’t all that steep when a group is involved. A lot of the fediverse apps have optional in-app purchases as well that are just for tips and donations, so if you get something on the App Store, particularly if it’s the ONLY kbin app there, it might be a little easier to get it to keep itself afloat.

I don’t know anything about programming, economics, or app development though, so feel free to completely ignore me. Also, don’t do anything to make your life any more stressful than it needs to be. If you do decide to crowd-fund, however, I will be happy to toss a few bucks in for you.

I would venture a guess there are at least 50 kbin users willing to pay $2 a year for a dedicated kbin/mbin app on iOS. I personally gave some money to the developer of Artemis back when she was active, but I have no idea what became of her.

Does interstellar’s developer have a donation link where I might buy him some coffee and drop a request?

Without a doubt, but it hasn’t stopped a cornucopia of lemmy apps from cropping up on iOS.

I still keep Social on my Home Screen, but I’ve been using Run for a while now. I’m also starting to use lemmy world a bit more because I’m tired of waiting for a dedicated iOS app. I’ve seen like 3 come and go now and I just don’t think it’s going to happen anymore.

Well, LLMs are quite literally trained on language, so asking it to simulate a conversation between a hotel clerk and a guest who is upset that they can’t find the hair dryer is pretty much what it’s best at doing.

You can even build the dialogs with students. Have them introduce a scenario for the LLM to manufacture, then have the students suggest variables to apply, such as the clerk being hungry and in a bad mood while the guest is actually drunk after returning from a club in order to see how the language changes, then have the students act it out for laughs.

I teach language. I get paid for my time in front of students, not the time it takes to prepare their lessons and the materials. I use AI to quickly reference grammar rules, to fabricate example dialogs in specific scenarios to practice, and to suggest activities to do in class to practice the target grammar. I never do exactly as it says, just take it as kind of a source of suggestions for me to build from.

It took some time to dig that esper out of the ground, but now that it’s out, I presume we’ll see some significant performance gains.

Images on the feed shrink when I try to zoom in on mobile. If I want to read the text on the image, I need to tap it once to open the post, then tap it again to open the image. At that point it fills the screen, but I still can’t zoom in any closer, it just bounces back.

I enjoy MacOS, but I’ve got an ancient Intel Mac mini with upgraded storage and RAM back at the in-laws that I had been using as a server. Now that I’ve had the pleasure of a steam deck, I’d like to turn it into a dedicated Linux machine whenever I get the chance to grab it. It’s long past its expiration date as a Mac machine.

Imagine how it must feel to be this tricky little guy: ,

Should I pronounce that “Wissy-wig” note-taking?
