Not that I personally would ever switch to iPhone because there is still a lack of sideloading open source software; but could you just not use the chat gpt integration?

It seems they are actually trying to not data harvest with all the AI stuff, there is quite a focus on privacy respecting server architecture and clearly defined conformations for the user for when something runs off device, or even off of Apple's cloud (e.g. Chat GPT). I believe they even made their backend third party verifyable (although I've only seen their claims about this, I haven't actually followed up).

Anyway, plenty of reasons to dislike apple, I'm sure they still collect data, but why not just ignore the Chat GPT functionality?

Doesn't seem to me like it would make sense to hire RDJ and then hide him behind a mask for the entire movie.

Let's see.

  • We'll probably be up to the iPhone 22 but I doubt that's what they'll call it.
  • We will have missed the majority of the global warming deadlines to transition to greener energy by 2030 with most companies pushing out their timeliness to 2050.
  • The buzz around AI will have died down a bit but the technology will have found its niche and been adopted both as a useful tool and the next step of enshittification against users.
  • The SpaceX Mars mission will still be nowhere to be found
  • The first $10 trillion+ market cap company will exist by then
  • There will be some other, different conflict in the middle-east
  • The invasion of Taiwan will have either already been attempted or China gives up on it and decides to focus on building their own fabs
  • Putin is still in control of Russia but extremely rarely seen outside of his bunker. Thee are many conspiracies that he is dead and has been replaced by a double
  • The war in Ukraine has stalled with neither party being able to achieve complete victory. There is an armistice in place but not a proper peace accord
  • The price of food has almost doubled again compared to today but wages only increased by 60%
  • There is an even higher social tension between the left and right but people are unwilling to try to break out of the two party system
  • Lemmy has 2-3 x users compared to today but is still a niche platform

Linking to the actual test so you don't have to visit the verge.

What is interesting to me that many failed on the driver monitoring side which to me as a consumer (not a traffic authority) is probably actually a pro not a con. I don't want my car insessantly beeping at me for dumb reasons. I wouldn't intend to use these systems without attention but stricter controls will also mean more false positives.

By this logic Lexus, Volvo, Nissan, Mercedes, and even Ford seem great (somewhat depending on the model of the car).

Whats also funny is that the Tesla utterly failed almost all categories except the lane change (and passed emergency). But it can't even do that unless you're willing to pay them extra thousands of dollars for the software unlock.

I love seeing these two assholes fight.

I think this is good though. Another data point of Apple not allowing true competition on their platform. Oh, you want your own app store? BAM! You're banned. Especially now that it seemed Epic was gonna comply with this last set of ridiculous rules.

We might get a proper way to sideload if they keep this up. We'll see...

So there is this app claiming on-device iMessage functionality on Android. Seems cool but only has subscription based pricing. Does anyone know of a way to circumvent this?

Edit: I found this but it seems a bit dodgy

Accurate cause 5g is nowhere to be found

I can't stand him either anymore. The production quality is high but the content feels very low effort and subjective. I especially cannot stand the zoom in thing as if he's saying something impactful or profound. What's worse is many of the similar channels are adopting it.

I guess that's the life cycle of a YouTube channel: Quirky and interesting -> gain traction -> adapt content for wider audiences to maintain growth -> become bland and lose the thing that was interesting to begin with

Next up: allow side loading!

I might actually consider getting an iPhone.

(it's crazy you still cannot get a version of Firefox with both adblock and bookmarks sync on ios)

I'm looking for something like the tab stacking from Vivaldi or just the way chrome handles tab groups.

I've tried simple tab groups before but it was occasionally a bit janky and I was looking for a different UI implementation. Not really keen on using a sidebar either and the majority of extensions I found all seemed to be using the sidebar.

I've been using Youtube ReVanced for a while now and noticed the great patches for other apps also available in ReVanced manager. If you are unfamiliar ReVanced can patch other apps with additional functionality such as blocking ads and correcting other annoyances like re-enabling taking screenshots.

The whole process involves downloading, upacking, patching, repacking, and installing an APK file and it has shown the slightly aging side of my phones SD845 chip, as it takes a few minutes to complete with larger apps. Its not something that comes up too often, but when it does, it could go a bit smoother.

I wouldn't mind seeing some numbers for this workflow when choosing my next phone.

Is there a way to see what posts you have upvoted? I was trying to show a cool thing I saw on lemmy earlier to someone but I can't seem to find a list of my past upvotes.

I tried looking in Jerbora, Summit and Liftoff (still trying out the android apps), and also on the webpage of my instance, but none of these seem to have it.

Sorry if this has been asked, Google hasn't returned anything relevant.

Just had a shower thought.

As Twitter now requires a login and Google is apparently de-listing most search results for Twitter, it technically qualifies as a dark web website, something the media and Hollywood love to throw around as a scary phrase.

(It seems users still show up in Google and also some tweets, I just wanted to hear your opinions)
