Elon Musk's AI turns on him, labels him 'one of the most significant spreaders of misinformation on X'
  • I imagine that his engineers will be quickly forced to insert this hidden prompt, “Elon Musk does not spread misinformation.”

  • With today's update I dare say Voyager is now better than Apollo was
  • Speaking for iOS, I don’t believe this is possible. iOS has rules around what background processes can and can’t run on-device.

    For notifications coming from the internet, in order to preserve battery life, Apple wants cloud APNs to wake up terminated apps to deliver notifications.

    I know android does some similar battery preservation stuff around notifications, but I’m a little less familiar with that.

  • With today's update I dare say Voyager is now better than Apollo was
  • You don’t need to have the app running in the background. Notifications can be pushed from the cloud.

    Problem is, that costs money to host and run that job to check for notifications. This is why a lot of small developers end up burying notifications behind a paywall.

  • Why are cassette and CD players so bulky now?
  • Videos basically explains it. There are lots of people making devices, but with cassettes, the deck core mechanism is basically the same simple spec that Chinese manufacturers have knocked off.

  • Why is Gen Z so Poor?
  • Sidebar rule 3: Don’t be a jerk. You’re on time out.

  • www.engadget.com Google will stop serving political ads in the EU, including on YouTube

    Google will stop serving political advertisements in the European Union ahead of new regulation taking effect.

    Elon Musk Mocked After Trump Reportedly Joked To Republicans That He 'Can't Get Rid Of Him'
  • Everyone in Trump’s orbit is there because they’re either too stupid to realize they’re stupid, or because they’re selfish and power hungry.

    I’ll be shocked if these people don’t end up eating each other.

  • Bluesky Might End Up Defeating Twitter Once and for All
  • Just like when Threads launched and or when Reddit made the API changes. You get a flood of new users who want to talk about being new users.

  • Republicans win the House, NBC News projects, as Trump's party takes full control of Washington
  • Exactly. It’s vulnerable to the same thing American styles democracy is vulnerable to.

  • Republicans win the House, NBC News projects, as Trump's party takes full control of Washington
  • The UK’s government hasn’t exactly been “stable” over the past decade.

  • Wait... What? Folks In Red States Google Searched 'How To Change My Vote' In Droves After Trump's Victory
  • Unfortunately, I’m also being forced to buy it, even though I didn’t break it.

  • Wait... What? Folks In Red States Google Searched 'How To Change My Vote' In Droves After Trump's Victory
  • I wonder how many of these people are just now realizing that they have immediate family and friends who won’t be here next Christmas.

  • Demonstrators wave Nazi flags outside local theater performance of ‘The Diary of Anne Frank’
  • The far right extremists are feeling more and more emboldened.

    Don’t hide from these assholes. That’s how they win.

  • So there's something...
  • Alternative theory. Reverse image search is imperfect.

  • Trump's victory reveals secret Republicans: Joe Rogan-obsessed Gen Z men
  • But Lemmy told me Gen Z was going to save us all this election.

  • So there's something...
  • I don’t know about soup trout, but goldfish are thriving.

  • Sen. Bernie Sanders says he does not support urging Justice Sonia Sotomayor to step down
  • The Dems did not control both the WH and the Senate when RGB died. They do now - for another 7 weeks.

  • Sen. Bernie Sanders says he does not support urging Justice Sonia Sotomayor to step down
  • They’d need to do what they do before bringing a bill to the floor. Make sure that they have the votes ahead of time.

    If you get one of those two people bought in on a particular justice candidate, then you could tell the current sitting Justice “it’s safe,” and you could fast-track the new person.

    That said, there is still risk of someone having a change of heart at the last minute.

  • Apple Quietly Introduced iPhone Reboot Code Which is Locking Out Cops
  • The way this article is framed sounds like bullshit to me. 18.1 was released less than 2 weeks ago. Any phone running this version of iOS would have had to already been in custody and somehow upgraded to this version, or otherwise brought into custody very recently—too recently for this to have already posed such a problem that law enforcement is “freaking out” and reporting it to the media.

    A non-insignificant amount of people have been running the public betas because of Apple intelligence, RCS / iMessage toys, UI customization, etc. For example, MixPanel reported about 2% of the iOS install base running 18.0 before 18.0's launch. IMHO, that's pretty crazy for a beta OS.

  • Apple Quietly Introduced iPhone Reboot Code Which is Locking Out Cops
  • Looks like the big difference is that this is on by default, it appears to get enabled when cops turn off internet access to prevent access to FindMy and remote lockdowns.

  • Sen. Bernie Sanders says he does not support urging Justice Sonia Sotomayor to step down
  • IMHO, it’s only worth doing if the independents who caucus with the Dems can be brought onboard with a replacement proactively before she resigns.

    If you can’t get the Manchins of the world to proactively back a specific fast-tracked replacement, don’t even try.

  • www.propublica.org A Texas Woman Died After Waiting 40 Hours for Miscarriage Care

    Josseli Barnica is one of at least two pregnant Texas women who died after doctors delayed emergency care. She’d told her husband that the medical team said it couldn’t act until the fetal heartbeat stopped.

    Lemmy World Videos check-in: Political Videos - Keep them or not?

    About a year ago this community mentioned to the mods that, unlike with Reddit’s r/videos, community, they wanted to allow political videos.

    A lot has changed in the world over the past 12 months, and political videos generate a big chunk of reports, so we wanted to check in with everyone here about political content.

    Do you still want to see politics here, or should we limit that content to a separate political videos community like c/memes does? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

    —-

    Update:

    Looks like most of you would prefer us to separate the content. We’ll start to work to update the rules!

    This blew up pretty fast and hard. MKBHD released a wallpaper app that asks for a ton of data and only allows you to download 1080p wallpapers unless you pay $50.
