Yep. It bothers me, but I respect the decision.
First of all, they spelled Heelys wrong. Second, Heelys are a great idea, even better as an adult in an office with polished concrete floors.
Nah, condoms have existed for ages and have many other benefits.
FTFY
Not sure what buying a short form video platform has to do with creating a new internet dedicated to privacy and open protocols, but cool? Maybe he just wants the user base
Who exactly was hyped about this?
Personally, I typically want my interactions with technology to be quiet. I don’t want it talking, and I don’t want to be talking to it.
Not to mention the privacy implications of an always-on camera and microphone connected to the internet
This sounds like the open source LLM community

Yeah, no. Here is a direct link to the article:

Hm, yeah it works fine for me. I could never use the built-in mic on one of those cheap adapters
I’m not sure if this is a stock Android feature or Samsung specific, but I have the ability to disable using my cheap Bluetooth adapter for calls under Bluetooth settings for the device
What happened is that the FTC is taking on Amazon in court as we speak:
Do you mean Equifax?
Actively contributing to this community being dumb and irrelevant I see. Trust me, I’ve already left. Eternal September has arrived.
Yet you are, however, following a direct mirror of reddit right here in this community. Fully automated for your convenience.
The other posts aren’t very related to technology either, and that’s my point. There was a time before Lemmy, when /r/Technology was focused on delivering news about new technology. Not tangentially related news about pro climate laws. Not the politics of social media companies. Not Elon Musk spam. Technology. /r/Science was vastly different in the past as well. In general, these communities had much more substantiative content with nuanced discussions in the comments from experts in relevant fields. Lemmy was a bit like that as well in the past. But unfortunately bots like this one started reposting all of the drivel from Reddit to the main Technology community, drowning out content with more depth. I want communities that I can genuinely learn from. I want to feel hesitant to comment, because everyone in the room is smarter than me. I miss that version of the internet.
This news is as related to technology as a weather report citing rain in Silicon Valley is relevant to technology. It doesn’t fit the sub.
Please elaborate on the technological advancement that was made here
This is not a post about technology.
Techies?
This is a major problem for all democracies, and LLM driven troll accounts probably do exist. But this xitter post is a fake error message. It’s clearly a troll.
Blocking fake accounts would help with the misinformation problem, but it’s a cat and mouse game. It could ultimately give additional credence to the trolls who slip through if the platform is assumed to be safe. The reality is that there will always be ways for fake accounts to avoid detection and to spoof account verification. Making it harder would help, but it’s not a comprehensive solution. Not to mention the fact that the platform itself has the power to manipulate public opinion, amplify their preferred narrative, etc.
The solution I’ve always preferred is the mentality the 4chan community had when I was younger and frequented it. Basically, and I’m paraphrasing:
Everyone here needs to grow up and understand that no post should ever be presumed to be true or legitimate. This is an anonymous forum. Assume that everything was written by a bot or a troll in the absence of proof that it wasn’t.
I think people put too much trust in social media precisely because they assume that there’s a real person behind every post. They assume that a face and a few photos gives an account legitimacy, despite the fact that it’s trivial to copy photos from a random account (2015/16 pro-Trump Facebook style) or just generate all of the content from scratch with AI (to avoid duplicate detection).
Trust itself is driver of misinformation. On social media, people should only fully trust posts made by people they know. That is the simplest and most comprehensive solution to the problem.
