There’s a large number of people here that have a deeply emotional hatred for anything related to Meta and I get that. But these dull comments don’t make for a fun discussion. They don’t add anything. They won’t affect anything. They’re just boring comments wasting everyone’s time.

I’m assuming this is a topic for Lemmy and not for Voyager. Sounds like it would make sense, though.

The Lemmy community is probably not the most representative group of people when it comes to consumer electronics. I doubt that most people plug their laptops into their TV every time they want to watch something. But fair enough.

If I understand you correctly, you’re saying that governments might leave Twitter for threads and we should push so they use mastodon instead? Assuming that is what you mean, I don’t think that makes any sense.

For one, I don’t think government accounts are a main driver for social media users. No one ever said "I only use this service if the UK government has an account there". Governments go where the accounts are.

For another, you can push all you want, if it’s not something that people want to use it’s not going to work. Our best hope is for threads to actually implement activity pub and then being able to use other apps and servers, while still being connected to the "rest of the world".

I’d be up for it, but I guess no one else so far ^^'

In this case it’s not clear to me what exactly is going on (after reading both this and the Bloomberg article), but misleading headlines and first reactions from people who haven’t read more than the headline is just the default behavior. I find that a bit sad on multiple levels.

The official ChatGPT app has an iOS shortcut action, it’s using everybody’s own accounts.

I can’t imagine anyone buying a Mac specifically for gaming. Anyone who’s into gaming will be on windows, but if you’re not super into it or it’s simply more convenient to play on a MacBook it’s definitely nice to have.

I’d love to have that

@aeharding@lemmy.world what do you think of these?

I saw someone propose that there should be a min post length for the summary bot, because one of the summaries was just as long as the article. It’s nice to have it inline, but still.

In this case it’s 75% of the original article and it also introduces the risk of getting something wrong or leaving something important out. It’s shortening and rewriting it, but it’s not summarizing it.

At least let the first paragraph be a summary of the entire article and then you can read on and go into more detail if you want.

Hard disagree. That’s my favorite kind of payment option, where you can try the app with a limited feature set and then have a one time payment to unlock more if you think that’s worth it.

Why would you want to pay up front with no option to try the app? How’s that better?

Just because it’s an "in app payment" doesn’t mean it‘s microtransactions, loot cheats, or any of that bullshit. It’s a one time payment.
