sabreW4K3@lazysoci.alOPto Technology@beehaw.org•The Open-Source Software Saving the Internet From AI Bot Scrapers5·5 days agoTo be honest with you, I refuse on moral grounds. 404 are independent and do good work. You’ve already linked a pay wall bypass in the comments, if anyone would like to find it, it’s not hard to scroll.
sabreW4K3@lazysoci.alOPto Technology@beehaw.org•Google's Hotseat Hypocrisy - Open Web Advocacy1·8 days agoThe majority of users don’t replace their launcher and as such, where Google can, it should change the browser. If that code is baked into launcher3, most OEM and third-party launchers will pick it up too. There’s no excuse not to change Chrome for the user choice on the default launcher.

sabreW4K3@lazysoci.alOPto Technology@beehaw.org•James Dyson reveals the future of farming1·15 days agoThese people don’t want to save the world. They just want to look like heroes
I agree. But it doesn’t mean these people can’t do good things and this system seems a good thing to me. Is it perfect? No, as you said
this kind of system seems limited to small cash crops rather than staple foods.
So that’s a problem. But it’s a step in the right direction.
Dyson has personally done far more to harm British food security than this gadget could offset. He was an ardent Brexiteer, which resulted in substantial barriers to importing food from our closest neighbors.
He is absolutely and unequivocally a wanker. But if he’s done something good here, it will mean alternatives will become available and that’s a win for everyone.
sabreW4K3@lazysoci.alOPto Technology@beehaw.org•James Dyson reveals the future of farming1·15 days agoI think the price will come down now that they have a proof of concept.

sabreW4K3@lazysoci.alOPto Technology@beehaw.org•Only 1 in 3 Euro consumers are trading in their old phones3·24 days agoI don’t. Maybe I should but I like having an emergency device on hand. That said, I’m due an upgrade in a couple months, so if a trade-in is meaningful, I’ll trade my eldest Pixel.

sabreW4K3@lazysoci.alOPto Technology@beehaw.org•Smartphones now dominate global web traffic, latest data shows1·1 month agoEveryone has one of two mobile devices and they can do what a laptop can do in terms of media consumption. Ten years ago we were a desktop orientated society, now it’s handheld. The laptop is a work device and the PC a niche device.

sabreW4K3@lazysoci.alOPto Technology@beehaw.org•Adobe to automatically move subscribers to pricier, AI-focused tier in June6·2 months agoSometimes you’ll post things and it’ll go down badly. It’s okay. You didn’t say anything malicious, you just offered your personal point of view. People disagreed and that’s okay. People don’t agree with my points and opinions all the time. Sometimes hearing new points of view, changes my own, other times I think the whole world is stupid. But at least I took part. Thank you for your previous contribution, even though you deleted it. This on the other hand, is bullshit and unhelpful.
sabreW4K3@lazysoci.alOPto Technology@beehaw.org•My AI therapist got me through dark times2·2 months agoThis says everything really. We live in a profit driven society, so where we should invest in public health to ensure that mental healthcare is available for everyone, instead we count pennies, driving public health workers to become private or quit completely. As a result, there’s not enough healthcare professionals to go around, if we can alleviate that a little, we absolutely should invest heavily in it. Have people using AI and supervise the AI, make changes and make it the best we can. Because a free AI, which is the dream, can help to save thousands.
