I don’t know if it’s on any of their other mice, but Logitech does have a DPI shift button on the G502. You hold it down to switch to an alternate DPI and letting go returns it to you normal setting.

My understanding is that Kagi relies on the likes of Bing and Google but since it uses more than one of them it can keep functioning if one goes down.

Karl’s drama/exposé videos have always had this kind of antagonistic energy to them. It usually doesn’t bother me since the subjects, like Billy Mitchell, have brought the absurdity on themselves. Carrying that same energy into serious claims of fraud feels like a poor decision even if it’s the style of video you’re used to making. I don’t think the money would have been donated without these videos so I’m glad they were made, but the presentation was not as effective as it could’ve been.

They are. They got released on the eshop same day as their announcement. It looks like physical copies are coming in September which might be what they are referring to.

Personally I don’t know if Lemmy needs these to be successful. Depending on your viewpoint, Lemmy already is successful. Lemmy instances existed long before the current Reddit influx and seemed to be doing okay even if things were a bit slow.

Maybe I’m wrong about this, but it feels to me like most people coming over from Reddit are viewing federation as multiple people helping run parts of a larger single site instead of viewing each Lemmy instance as its own entire community and site with the great benefit of federation allowing direct access and communication to other sites running in the fediverse. Identities and communities are specific to an instance because that instance is an independent community. In that frame of mind, having a different account on different instances and overlapping community topics between instances makes sense. Same way multiple forums have boards about the same topic and joining multiple forums meant multiple accounts. Federation just makes it easier to see across that gap.

The cynic in me says they didn’t actually fuck up. The AI being horny brought more attention to it and playing it off like “oh no! it went rogue!” gives them even more headlines. All a strategic play.

I don’t really like the logic of “chatbots like this will help cure loneliness.” It might help someone feel less lonely at first. But then it’ll be a crutch and, if anything, hurt people’s ability to socialize with other real people. Like it’s a quick dopamine hit that will slowly dig you deeper into the hole you feel you’re in.

I can see comments and posts on their profile from communities I’m not in. Not quite sure why that isn’t the case for you. Maybe a weird quirk of how the different instances are federated. Looks like they’re talking about !fountainpens@sopuli.xyz. As for finding communities, I don’t know what the UI is like outside of Beehaw, but when I go to thee community list I can chose to search all instances to find communities all over.

It’s neat to see them using ActivityPub, but I’m really wary of anything created under the Meta/Facebook umbrella. We’ll have to wait and see if they decide to act in good faith with this which my biases make me doubtful they will.

Also, if they’re using ActivityPub, why would I have to join if I can just loop in with my existing Mastodon account?

It really goes to show how good ChatGPT is at creating realistic sounding responses. If you don’t know how it works, it can be easy to wrongly trust it.

I’m not a lawyer or anything, but I have to assume there’s some kind of process for checking citations you’re taught along the way that go beyond trusting what a computer writes.

I know he said his assumed that ChatGPT had some kind of access to data other sites didn’t but not finding those cases anywhere else should’ve raised red flags. People need some refreshers on computer literacy.

I actually really enjoyed playing Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex. Maybe I just first played it when I was too young to notice differences with it compared to the previous entries. Grew up loving it and didn’t learn how generally hated it was until a few years ago.
