1984@lemmy.todayOPto Technology@lemmy.world•Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press GazetteEnglish4·5 days agoThey always care about us when they are losing money arent they…
1984@lemmy.todayOPto Technology@lemmy.world•Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press GazetteEnglish3·6 days agoMaybe, but then who will supply the answers that Ai needs?
1984@lemmy.todayOPto Technology@lemmy.world•Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press GazetteEnglish4·6 days agoWould love to but a lot of them have shut down now since people didnt buy them.
1984@lemmy.todayOPto Technology@lemmy.world•Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press GazetteEnglish17·6 days agoThe larger problem that is not discussed so much is the amount of Ai generated garbage that is put on the web now.
When these Ai web crawlers start to read that Ai garbage as source data, the models will start to become worse and worse, and as a result, our Ai clients will start to get worse and worse.
I dont think there is a way for the crawlers to understand what is Ai generated fluff and crap. The reasons the Ai responses are so good now is because people actually posted these solutions on the web. What happens when Ai crap overflows the web so much that good answers are drowned out?
Also, no ads in chat gpt yet. Thats going to change and it will become impossible to block those.
1984@lemmy.todayOPto Technology@lemmy.world•Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press GazetteEnglish18·6 days agoThey wont be happy until eye tracking technology makes sure we sit and watch their fucking ads before the actual content appears.
I mean, none of this is getting better. Its only going to become worse. I have ads in the fucking pause screen on my streaming tv app. So if I want to take a toilet break, I get an ad in my face. Its just so ridiculous.
1984@lemmy.todayOPto Technology@lemmy.world•Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press GazetteEnglish3·6 days agoIts actually not easy to run two of them since they are not designed for using a shared disk (you can get corrupted data). Its also not necessary, you can just leave the secondary dns server blank.
But if you want two because you want high availability in case one of your piholes goes down, you can rsync the settings between the two machines every 5 minutes or so. Its important to keep them in sync that way.
1984@lemmy.todayOPto Technology@lemmy.world•Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press GazetteEnglish2·6 days agoI switched to adguard home recently, much nicer user interface and I dont miss any features from pihole. :)
1984@lemmy.todayOPto Technology@lemmy.world•People Are Being Involuntarily Committed, Jailed After Spiraling Into "ChatGPT Psychosis"English714·7 days agoIt will take another five seconds to find the same info using the web. Unless you also think we should censor the entire web and make it illegal to have any information about things that can hurt people, like knives, guns, stress, partners, cars…
People will not be stopped suiciding because a chat bot doesnt tell them the best way, unfortunately.
1984@lemmy.todayto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What was that thing you got really good at, and how good are you?1·7 days agoYeah I have gotten confidence in my opinions after seeing so many tech environments turn to dog shit.
But at the same time, since its not MY tech environment, it doesnt affect me so much when it turns so bad that every day is just problems to fix. Then I move on to another job.
1984@lemmy.todayto Reddit@lemmy.world•On r/collapse, people are ‘kept abreast of the latest doom’. Its moderators say it’s not for everyone6·8 days agoYeah people here are *slightly" biased sometimes :)
1984@lemmy.todayto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What was that thing you got really good at, and how good are you?11·8 days agoIm good at building simple tech architectures by saying no to tech we dont need.
Unfortunately nobody listens, management keeps forcing the fastest shitty duck tape solution, and thinking its a great idea to copy paste entire tech environments because its the fastest.
Lols.
1984@lemmy.todayto Linux@lemmy.world•Intel Announces It's Shutting Down Clear LinuxEnglish182·8 days agoIts not really the most depressing news of the week. Trump opened his mouth many times this week. But yeah, clear Linux never even felt like a viable option. It had good performance but you wouldnt notice that in a day to day desktop experience anyway.
1984@lemmy.todayto World News@lemmy.world•EU warns that its trade with the US could be effectively wiped out if Trump follows through on his threatEnglish3·12 days agoI dont use subscription services but graphics card, yes i do.
1984@lemmy.todayto World News@lemmy.world•EU warns that its trade with the US could be effectively wiped out if Trump follows through on his threatEnglish122·13 days agoWhat do we even need from America?
The EU should add 100% tax on American restaurants like mcdonalds and burger king, they are pretty much universal health hazards anyway.
But the EU will back down as it always does.
1984@lemmy.todayto Technology@lemmy.world•BREAKING: X CEO Linda Yaccarino Steps Down One Day After Elon Musk’s Grok AI Bot Went Full HitlerEnglish33·17 days agoMost of the content here is from twitter, so yeah…
We may not be using twitter but we are discussing content from twitter.
Its a bit depressing actually. There isnt other websites where things happen that would be more interesting to actually talk about…
1984@lemmy.todayto News@lemmy.world•Trump’s policies to cost $29 billion in visitor revenue as tourists spurn the US471·21 days agoHonestly its unsafe to go there now. Stay safe people.
1984@lemmy.todayto Technology@lemmy.world•Tesla's European car sales nosedive for fifth month as customers switch to Chinese EVsEnglish317·1 month agoI think it also has to do with the economy, not just nazi salutes. Its a bad job market, people dont have money, so luxary cars are not going to be attractive.
Also there is hardly any reason to buy a Tesla… Volvo recharge and others are better cars, made by actual car companies with a good reputation for quality.
1984@lemmy.todayto News@lemmy.world•Iran retaliates, fires missiles at US bases in Qatar and Iraq92·1 month agoYou are getting downvoted but i agree with you its obvious they dont really try to hurt the US.
Even the missiles they did fire, ALL of them were intercepted by US missile defence and not a single person was hurt.
Its just to show that they hit back a little symbolically.
Fixed a bug in the Meta+V clipboard popup that made it sometimes fail to pre-select the top-most item. (Akseli Lahtinen, link)
This happened all the time for me and was super annoying. I switched to gnome for a while again but nice to see this is fixed.
Yeah that would be the logical end game since companies have invested billions into this trend now.
