You’d be surprised to hear that most software devs i talk to think the benefits of ai are overrated. The problem is the bubble keeps growing and growing.

… also leads to worse for all in the meantime.

We’re getting it shoved down our throats too. We get asked to use ai to enhance things… that no one wanted fixed with ai.


I’ve always wanted to meet that 1 out of the 10 who don’t. Probably would be interesting to have a beer with.


+1. Lots of people are also likely to not have any idea about the situation and just think their PC crashes or acts up more. More of these issues can pop up over time.

A recall forces them to notify customers of the issue so the customer can act on it.


If the product has issues it should be legally required to either have a warranty extension, recall, or both. Heck they shouldn’t be selling more units until it’s figured out and patched.

It’s absurd to say: “it might have problems but we’ll keep selling it as is”.

We have safety recalls. There should be product degregation recalls.


Sometimes I wonder: for a PC sitting behind a consumer router with no extra ports forwarded: How important are OS updates?

I mean if everything works for you on this version, why rock the boat? The idea is supposed to be security, fixes, and new features. We can throw out new features and fixes if you’re happy with everything as is.

Security is very buzzy and kind of vague to this type of user, but they also probably don’t tread far off from popular (likely … hopefully … safe) websites.

So hmm, if not accessing unsafe websites, and hidden behind a router NAT, and with physical safety of home, I wonder if the benefit of rocking the boat (and getting more ads and crap) is worth it.

Like definitely risks are there for any internet connected device but weighing it would be interesting. Someone in infosec should do a real analysis of this situation.


Overcooked could be fun and easy to get into.


They don’t have the space to archive it all. No one does. It’s the reason it has grown so big without real competition.

No one can do it… or at least make money doing it.



Maybe tasker can do something like this. In theory I could tell tasker to POST every 5 minutes or so, then use that data… hmm I guess this is the next thing to try. Thanks!

Edit. Just found this gem: https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/13i9p3l/dev_tasker_62_beta_were_back_in_business_i_can/

I think this would do exactly what I want! Will give it a whirl in the coming days.


App with REST Server for device info?
Hey folks, Does anyone know of an app (FOSS or otherwise) that has a built-in REST-server to get current device info? I'd like to be able to hit the API from within my local network to get info including: - Free space vs used space - Battery percentage Why? I have an old Android device that sits in the closet as a Syncthing node. It does some other random stuff too. I don't really want to have to get up and look at it to find out certain information. I already have a VNC server running on it. I even have a (sketchy) SSH server on it that I currently call `df -h` on to programmatically get free space info. The SSH server has some weirdness where it seems to stop working after some time, among other oddities. Also it can't get battery level afaict. I imagine this is possible using ADB, but I don't really want to have to always leave the device in wireless ADB mode or manually put it in that mode each time; unless that is easier than I think. Thanks!

Thanks folks for ideas, but I was talking about just basically ‘hiding’ the conversations by pushing them to the ‘archive’ folder. (I already backup with SMS Backup/Restore).

I decided to write a quick/dirty (no guarantees) tampermonkey script to do exactly what I wanted. If anyone else needs something similar, they can take a look here: https://gist.github.com/csm10495/47c900978866770cdff934f6cd783665


Archive all old Android/Google Messages?
Does anyone know of a way to archive all messages in Android/Google Messages maybe older than a certain timeframe? I have 100s of old conversations spanning back several years. I finally decided it would be nice to archive (not delete) ones that aren't relevant at the moment. The only way I figured to do this is swipe each conversation one by one. Is there a faster way to just do it all in one swoop? Edit: I wrote a quick script to do it via manipulating the Google Messages webui: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/4646349 Worked for me!

See y’all when it gets rolled back if/when the Republicans take office again.


We can’t even get to a point where we have 3rd party apps supporting RCS on Android. I don’t really trust Google’s ability to deliver on and continue to support new products.


I hope we get better content. I’m really tired of all the posts on the frontpage being meta. Like i had to scroll to find anything about the student loan news. I go to reddit and boom I get actual content still.

… i want conversations about things that aren’t lemmy or reddit. … memes are cool but man most of the frontpage that isn’t meta is memes. … Fingers crossed it gets better soon.


It would be soo cool if they open-sourced this game at this point.

… like why not?


Is there anyone who didn’t see this coming when they first bought Waze?
