That’s fair but I’m not sure why those types of system maintenance apps are reviewable. I was more talking about the changes to their suite of productivity apps (mail, calendar, chrome etc) that basically can’t be deleted.

They’re already expending that manpower for the purposes of OPSEC. All those people already exist and are actively doing this job in the government. To add to that, literally all it calls for is for an order to remove the app from apps stores by adding it to a list of apps already banned. That doesn’t require extra man-power. Even if they bother with an “investigation” by the AG’s office etc (which is actually in the bill), it’s likely that relevant app stores will just remove the apps once they come understand investigation because the government is looking into them.

Why? Are they doing badly? They’re doing badly, aren’t they?

How do you figure it’s not sustainable? The government doesn’t have to do anything particularly to do it. It doesn’t require that Congress decide to/vote on the ban, will already be written into law, and it requires the users to have somewhere to move to that’s feasibly bad and able to sustain them.

We’re also already seeing Americans run afoul of rednote’s TOS and content policies. It will absolutely be the same on the next platform.

The thing you have to realize is that the bill is written in such a way that it doesn’t require any further regulation. That’s the main problem with this idea that the government won’t be able to keep up with regulating. If you don’t think the government’s OPSEC community has been vetting Chinese and Russian social media platforms for quite awhile now, you’re living in a dream world. The thing is they had to figure out a way to make it so they could ban or otherwise interfere in these apps because they’re corps. Now that they have figured that out the cat is out of the bag.

I will say that the suggestion that people use Loops instead is probably not going to work specifically because it’s too many users too fast.

The US government has been on a ban or otherwise regulate Chinese products kick for a few years now and it only takes someone who’s been paying attention to note the number of sanctions, bans of products and services, etc.

The US has levied 117 sanctions since 2020.

They have effectively banned Chinese EV’s.

The ban of Huawei, and ZTE, and potential ban of Chinese made Routers and networking equipment.

A better protest would be to stay on the Tik Tok platform with a VPN or other method. But moving to rednote is a lot like throwing a tantrum in your living room where nobody can see it. It detrimentally affects tik tok because they’re losing users/engagement as well.

The “ban” is. i wish people would read what the actual bill says.

The bill stipulates that any entity in the control of a foreign adversary with a certain user threshold that collects specific data and uses algorithms to track users would be banned. This is why the red note “protest” is also not going to work. They’ll just ban rednote as well. The ban is about more than just tik tok.

Perhaps this is why they purged so many dead accounts.

Glad you and the pup are ok.

I absolutely hated this change (My SO deliberately set his profile pic to something heinous on purpose to mess with me), but yeah. I’m not sure it’s like ground breaking or anything.

Having never used the air B&B app or website I don’t know if there is an option that differentiates the two.

When you buy a hotel room, don’t you vet the room to make sure it’s what you want? Same applies here. If you contact them I’m sure they’d happily explain the accommodations. If not, give them a bad review and move on.

Paywalled. Only let’s you read part of the article.

One possibility - they were trained on the same data sets and as a result return the same results because what they do is predict the most likely next word or words, statistically based on their training data.

Possibility two - They are sharing data sets outside the public eye.

Possibility three - Each of these LLM’s is stealing from the other in real time (sending your prompt to other LlM"s and see what they report back and adding it to the list it drew up).

Possibility four - Someone at one or both of these companies is a double agent.

Here’s a question. Did you prompt these LLM’s with the same prompt multiple times? Or just one each?

The plan is to rehire them back temporarily to babysit the AI and fix all the AI generated crap. Then realize it was cheaper to actually just have the devs make code. Then hire them back at a reduced rate on a more permanent basis with the understanding that they believe the code will still be partially generated by AI and cleaned up by the same people and they aren’t paying top tier for third hand AI slop.

Yeah. If you’re like me and you mostly browse by subscribe you miss almost all of this stuff.

Sigh. I really wish posts like this got pushed to all users. If you’re updating something like content policy there has to be a better way to notify people who use lemmy.world. updating the TOS or making a pinned post in a community that most users don’t frequent is a very poor way to do this.

Thank you for letting the people in your community know what’s going on.

Me who was looking for this in like 2016 with the advent of Google assistant. Google almost 10 years late.

Can they fix the media buttons they broke in Google messages. Their new media bar doesn’t like when you hit the back button and freezes the whole chat. So then I have to force close the app and re-open it.

COD - Requires Kernel Level Anti-cheat (RICHOCHET).

Paladins - Requires Kernel Level Anti-cheat (EAC).

GTA V - Requires Kernel Level Anti-cheat (BattleEYE).

Destiny 2 - Requires Kernel Level Anti-cheat (BattleEYE).

This is the fault of the developers themselves not making those games compatible with Steam OS, and has nothing to do with Steam or Linux and everything to do with the developers themselves. So, if you’re going to play the blame game, blame the correct people.

I don’t know about VR in Linux, but it looks like the other people in this thread have me covered on that and they have explained in detail what’s going on there.

I’ve been in this space since the original steam machines. You either have no idea what it was like 10+ years ago with Linux gaming, or you’re being willfully ignorant and not finding out anything about what’s going on now and you’re salty for reasons I don’t know and don’t care about. Do not at me. I don’t care what you have to say if all you’re going to do is be sardonic and caustic. You have a nice day.

It’s the same way on the original Legion Go from Lenovo.
