Osmand doesn’t seem to be able to pull up addresses. It’s pretty useless without that function. Why I switched to Organic.

That’s incorrect. Different sites have different needs and the devs can’t pre-program which of the billion sites need what.

Believe it or not websites don’t work the same way they did “in the old days”. But yes, a lot of it is not needed for many websites. Many of them do require it to function properly though and if devs don’t make it available no one will use them.

All I can say is I’m a regular user and have never seen that. Sorry. These generic errors drive me insane.

I don’t get why people are only blaming the companies doing it and not putting equal blame on browsers for letting it happen

What do you expect browsers to do? They can stop telegraphing some of this information, but then the websites won’t render properly (they use this information to display the website properly), and your fingerprint would just be even more unique.

Pretty much every browser outside of Chrome and Edge have implemented some sort of fingerprinting mitigation techniques.

You’re a vinegar cipher

They are.

Conversations is only available via Play Store and costs $8.

It’s a Caesar cipher

Not necessarily

The short answer is yes, absolutely.

Epic claims it increases sales (much in the same way that pirates do) but I suspect it’s just to get people past the very high barrier of creating an account and installing their (presumably) ad-ridden and data-collecting (they’re owned by Tencent) launcher.

The former doesn’t make much sense to me given they could just buy those games on Steam anyway and have a much better experience.

So they:

• Didn’t ask editors/users
• noticed loud and overwhelmingly negative feedback
• “paused” the program

They still don’t get it. There’s very little practical use for LLMs in general, and certainly not in scholastic spaces. The content is all user-generated anyway, so what’s even the point? It’s not saving them any money.

Also it seems like a giant waste of resources for a company that constantly runs giant banners asking for money and claiming to basically be on there verge of closing up every time you visit their site.

Because they don’t care. Even if it leads to potential abortion legal charges.

Yeah it’s broken right now. You are subscribed it will just take a long time to take. Come back and check again in a couple of hours.

Lemmy (and the fediverse) is largely a liberal platform. Many liberals will actually outright oppose free speech. If not legally then they want it on all platforms.

Safety is not the main concern. Congestion is one, among many. Highly recommended to watch Not Just Bikes’ video on the subject, as it really opened my eyes. There are already reports of Teslas circling the block in residential neighborhoods in Austin for hours.

Physical goods are no different in that when you pre-order something you really have no idea what you’re getting. You’re counting on the reputation of the company to deliver on their claims. Which is often a bad idea.

Kind of ironic to use a private messenger that requires a Google account.

I sure as hell am glad I bought my Switch and and several games second hand

I had a Switch but I sold it after realizing that even second hand games sell for 90% of new. I’ve no idea how the economics of that situation works out…
