Have you tried using the Chat feature (GPT-4) to do searching? I just tried it, and it surprisingly works really well for some inquiries.

Like, use their chat AI, but as a natural language search engine. It’s integrated to Bing’s index so it can peruse it itself, so you don’t have to wade through all the Microsoft click-baits crap they put everywhere.

Android fan here, currently using an iPhone.

You’re not entirely wrong, but you’re missing half the equation. You see, the implementations here actually work fairly decently and feel nice to use. Still took them way too long, and they’re still getting too much credit. But the entire experience is more polished.

That either matters to you or it doesn’t. It didn’t used to for me, so I used Android for years since it’s significantly more customizable and capable.

Now I have multiple computing devices and need my phone to fulfill a more general role, and I’d like that to be an enjoyable experience. So I’m on iPhone again.

Gatekeeping retrogaming is a big L.

The Threads app itself clarifies that the intent is to federate down the road.

What’s the point of blocking a bunch of Linux communities? I agree with your right to do so. Just not sure I see the point.

Windows/Mac/Linux daily user here. We can all exist in harmony.

Yeah, that’s the type of immature and childish response that completely ignores the entire situation I expect from a “troll”.

Pathetic. Have fun with that.

Trolling was pathetic then and it’s pathetic now. Most of us grew out of that phase we had ten years ago.

It’s legit, is sent from the same shortcode that account updates and such get sent from, and their official app also has notices about it.

Don’t really see anything wrong with the way they did it.

That’s how I feel. If Meta is going to have social media networks they might as well follow open standards.

For me, a lot of it came down to the fact that Epic Games more or less dropped Unreal Tournament 4 to focus on what appeared to be a low effort adaptation of PUBG slapped over another game, and in doing so basically ripped the heart out of deathmatch arena shooters, and all we got out of it was a game that didn’t excel at any specific thing beyond appeal to children.

At this point I’m still sour about UT, but Fortnite has gotten enough updating to its technology and graphics that I’m less angry about it pretty much becoming Unreal Engine’s flagship game and more angry about what it represents. The game has always been fine.

doesn’t Kbin.social block lemmygrad?

I haven’t really cared to check, but I thought it was the only thing it’s defederated from.
