No. I only use Android as my PC via AR glasses. Is there even any antivirus software for Android? Probably, but I don’t care I guess. Never had a problem.

Creating a new sub so I’m a moderator brought Boost back to life. Maybe that will help here?

The Khan academy approach to ai-assisted learning looks amazing and it’s just a first attempt. I think having individual, endlessly patient AI tutors leading each student via the Socratic method will revolutionise teaching. Teachers actually have more time to socialise with the students, so fears that ai learning would deprive children of the social interaction may be put to rest. It looks really promising.

Not to be dismissive of these deaths, but there should not be any expectation of self-drive cars being perfect, ever. The reality is that if they are safer than humans overall, then they have reached a point where we can (and should?) adopt their use. It’s not a huge surprise that there is some form of bias in the current deaths simply because biases arise in any complex, real-world systems.

We should, and must, accept some glitches.

But, uh, yeah Tesla may well try to delay addressing the biases if we don’t call them out, so this info is good.

For the love of God, no! It ain’t a host if it ain’t up. This will just end up being very annoying.

Boost for reddit is still working. Any ideas why?

And still it continues to work… Any ideas anyone?

I’ve just been sorting my comments by highest score and replacing a dozen or so each day with something like “-> fediverse”. So far none have been restored. Most of the lower scored comments don’t have value to anyone anyway so I’m just ordering by most impact until I get bored.

Not participating isn’t the only choice.

On days I’m feeling particularly petty I go into discussions and vote down the good comments and vote up the bad ones just to make the signal to noise ratio worse. Yes, I’m that petty.

For once I’m interested in hearing the tankies’ views on something.

I see they were inspired by my sail kayak :-)

Really weird you would recommend just lemmy specifically. It makes me wonder if you understand what the fediverse is. ;-)

Yes, it’s inevitable but stretching out the pain to draw more people to the fediverse is useful. The more news it makes, the more people will want to check it out, and a wee bit of viral, newsworthy drama could make a significant impact on the adoption trajectory. Plus, for petty people like me, it’s a great source of entertainment.

We know that simultaneously changing a whole bunch of subs between public and private drives reddit into the ground. Subs are not allowed to stay private or risk being taken over, but they can surely still change between the two modes provided they don’t stay dark too long. So, every 48 hours simultaneously switch the subs between the two. Malicious compliance, right?

I seem to recall seeing something about him not wanting to do that and throwing in the towel on it, but I may be mistaken, and he can always change his mind if so, anyway. But, god that would be great for the trajectory of non-corporate social media if he did.

yes and only responded to questions that vaguely related to the prepared answers they had. It was more a press briefing than an AMA.

kbin.social <- take the easy path. Fight me!

It was a chance to get the username I wanted. More importantly, I’m loving the more free use of profile pictures. I can actually recognise people visually now instead of everyone looking like much the same snoo.

I initially downvoted you because I disagree, but then changed my mind because it’s still a valid opinion. Personally, I agree with OP. People are being scared off by confusion in trying to understand what the fediverse is. While I agree it’s good to mention the fediverse and the distributed nature, it’s often coming across as the main thing and I think it’s counter-productive. People will come to understand it just fine if they can just be left to dive in without befuddling them. I think getting them on board is more important than it being in the fediverse.
