Conde Nast doesn’t have an interest in driving away their readers, and AI bullshit absolutely will drive them away. They know this. Ken Fisher is the editorial lead for AI at Conde Nast (not just Ars), and said as much in the comment section.

AI is absolutely fucking things up on a grand scale in all sorts of industries, but as of right now, Ars is relatively safe and I don’t think we need to inflate the scale of the danger.

I’m not so sure Ars has a vested interest in OpenAI. I actually read through 10 pages of comments. Ken Fisher was pretty active in them, and noted several times that Ars doesn’t see any of the money from this deal.

Could it still be the same though? What if there’s an image post that has the same issue in the image? When Boost tries to load that post, wouldn’t it crash too?

Huh. I wonder if this is related.

It’s literally a flag in the account settings.

That said, I think mass copying of Reddit content is the issue. Functionally, yes, Lemmy and Reddit are similar. But they do have different cultures/subcultures. Even within a given topic, when you have both a subreddit and a community, they will like and dislike slightly different things.

I think the solution would be for individual users to bring content (links, memes, etc. - not comments or entire threads) over that they found worthwhile, instead of bulk copying.

Well, looks like I have that enabled, so that’s good I suppose.

Boost user checking in, also currently on .world but I’ve been on several and… it’s fine. No problems.

I used to use Sync, but the sporadic updates lead to rapidly piling bugs.

I have T-Mobile and don’t have this toggle, so it’s not all accounts.

Edit: Well, ain’t that some shit. I have it in the app, but not online.

That’s my daily. I like it enough that I bought a case and pack it when I travel for work.

For what it’s worth, logging out and back in didn’t work for me, but clearing data on the app did. Now if only I’d remembered to back up my settings…

Any app I’ve found that can do this requires rooting. Some ROMs include this by default.

Google does not include this setting.

Got me started on Feedly. Still haven’t left, although I’d be surprised if I still had more than a couple of the same feeds from then.

I think at some point someone paid me and I just never cashed it out. I think it was the default payment method for Google Play, so app subscriptions and whatnot just got charged against it until there was almost nothing left.

Oof. Big dumb. Thanks!

The fun part is you still can’t transfer out less than $1. I had 81¢. So I tried to transfer in 19¢ so I could transfer a whole $1 out.

Nope, can’t transfer in less than $10.

I was able to transfer in $10 so I can get my $10.81 out. But fuck, Google, if you’re the one shutting shit down, how about you let me transfer my money out regardless of how much/little there is?

And full text!

I’ve started migrating all of my 2FA over to 2FAS. No desktop app per se, but it does have extensions for all major browsers, and apps for iOS and Android. You control the syncing of the 2FA (either automatically via Google Drive or via manual bulk exports to a local file), no SaaS bullshit.

Thanks for the recommendation. Started working on migrating all of my 2FA over from Authy. The process sucks (that’s not the fault of 2FAS), but I really like 2FAS as an app so far.

Mind sharing which bots to block? Some bots are useful, so I’d rather not hide all bots.
