  • Others said it's spyware, but they are also loan scammers.

    I honestly don't know what data this browser exfiltrates, or what else malicious it might do, but I don't trust anyone this shady to run proprietary code on my devices. Scammers rarely respect any kind of boundaries.

  • These image generators don't have much in common with terminators. I think the more relevant part is that he's really into expensive cgi productions.

  • What's inside the QR code menu at this cafe?
  • I know it's dominant, but it just sucks. To go back to the previous analogy, Whatsapp should have a monopoly on communication as much as BMW should have a monopoly on transportation.

  • What's inside the QR code menu at this cafe?
  • The main event here was pretty interesting, but I'd just like to say that

    It asked me for my name and Whatsapp mobile number.

    Why not just the mobile number. Do they also operate drive-ins that only accept BMWs?

  • Skyrim lead designer says it will be 'almost impossible' for Elder Scrolls 6 to meet fan expectations: 'Marketing departments just put their heads in their hands and weep'
  • I had low expectations before, but Starfield killed them completely. Starfield actually helped me get over worrying about TES6, because I just lost interest.

  • “Model collapse” threatens to kill progress on generative AIs
  • Didn't think of that, good point.

    The inbreeding could also affect larger decisions in sneaky ways, like how it wants to compose the image. It would be bad if the generator started to exaggerate and repeat some weird ai tropes.

  • “Model collapse” threatens to kill progress on generative AIs
  • I would expect some kind of small artifacting getting reinforced in the process, if the approved output images aren't perfect.

  • “Model collapse” threatens to kill progress on generative AIs
  • That is not how it works. That's not how it works at all.

  • Might be a bit too late for that.

    I'm attempting to publish a FOSS app

    I made a simple timer app for Android, desktop, and browser. I think it's ready for most part, and I'm starting to look into publishing it.

    I decided to start with Android / Play Store, which immediately gives me a roadblock. Google Play Console says:

    • Have at least 20 testers opted-in to your closed test (1 tester currently opted-in)
    • Run your closed test with at least 20 testers, for at least 14 days

    I want to look into F-Droid and Flathub once I have this sorted out. But before that, any opinions on the app, or volunteers for testing, as I don't have 20 friends to ask?

    Thanks.

    Edit: Let's try Play store again with this: https://groups.google.com/g/jyl-test-group

    Edit 2: It works, at least someone besides me was able to join: !

    What a pain. I'll look into preparing an F-droid release as soon as I have time.

    Internet of Shit - Dumb smart technology

    I was going to make a post about my toothbrush to this community, but apparently there isn't one anywhere. I could just find two dead ones at lemmy.ml with 1 and 3 subscribers.

    Given how tech and privacy oriented lemmy userbase is, it's absence was a bit surprising.

    Edit: Fixed links, thanks. Added pic.
