Totally agree, the options that iOS gives you to attempt to control spam are basically either pathetic or non-existent. I get tons of spam calls from one country, presumably doing a "missed call" scam trying to get me to call back and pay crazy rates. I don't see any reason why implementing a "block everything from country code x" feature would not be completely trivial, and it would instantly solve the problem. Yet my stupid smartphone can't do it.
Did you start to notice things getting worse around the new year when they added Brave to their search results? That was the turning point for me, I was a huge advocate but then quality went downhill and then a few weeks later they proudly announced that they had spent a third of their funding on...t-shirts. Between that and this huge push towards being just like Google and Bing with LLM hallucinated nonsense, I'm not sure what their aim is anymore.
I had to scroll through over 24 hours of posts before hitting anything political, an article about abortion in Texas. Definitely not the majority of the content and it took way more scrolling than a couple of screens. I still haven't seen anything else on your list yet.
(Background: I'm currently using Fly for some hobby apps. I like it.)
It is still wildly unstable right now because they're basically still building the platform and figuring out how to run a business. Earlier this year there was a migration to their "Apps V2" platform [0] which was supposed to be simple but it was extremely poorly communicated which led to a lot of users hitting issues along the way and being forced to make forum posts to try and desperately figure out how to keep their production apps up. None of the migrations worked for me either, I didn't complain as a freeloader - but seeing the support requests from paying customers painted a really bad picture.
Same as every project that involves cryptocurrency - the advantage is that the scammers who promote it can make money from badly reinventing an existing system.
One underrated use case that hasn't been mentioned here is that you also have the option to install Windows on it and then it's just like any other gaming PC but portable. No need to faff about with Proton and Steam or worry about compatibility, every game on every storefront just simply works.
> As usual with most pro-ChatGPT posts I see, there is little to no actual useful information on how to use ChatGPT practically.
I feel the same way, and my (maybe a bit paranoid) take is that many of those posts are also written by ChatGPT. After all, if someone is excited about the tool, of course they'll also use it as much as possible. In that case it also makes sense that there are never any practical examples since the training data is from pre-GPT times.
> How can there be people in their 30s without a citizenship?
Because they've chosen not to pursue citizenship. There's a simplified path that anyone in this situation can utilize. I don't see how giving them the choice and allowing them to live and work in the country indefinitely even if they choose no is in any way "un-democratic".
And if you're suggesting that 30 years is not enough time to learn the absolute basics of a language, that is just utterly ridiculous. Not nearly as ridiculous as comparing this to the slave labor that built Dubai though.
Same, it's weird that this hasn't already been mentioned. They launched untrackable trash into space and got fined for it, nobody should trust this company.
> GNOME's nautilus, KDE's Dolphin and even Apple's finder do it right: press f2 and you can rename the file without changing the extension, unless you go out of you way for that.
This is exactly how Windows Explorer works by default too.
I don't see how this is on Snopes at all. Facebook users (and even some news organizations) fall for The Onion articles all the time and report them as fact. Snopes debunks them - that's their job, that's what they have always done. Facebook failed to accommodate for satirical publications when they introduced their "fake news" flagging. This is entirely their fault.
Was this when you initially got the phone or did you set it up and delete the account later on? Last I tried you can set up the phone and use it with no Google account, but once you add one you can't remove it without resetting to factory defaults.
How is that headline more accurate? The original one clearly states the facts, that the S3 had more sales than the 4S in this quarter, making it the best selling piece of hardware. And the article itself says that this was probably because of the iPhone 5 release.
I don't understand why you're so quick to defend Apple by changing the metric, despite nobody saying that this is any sort of "victory" for Samsung. It's an obvious result of the iPhone 5 release, it will be on top of the charts the next quarter as usual. If you're going to make it an iPhone vs. Android thing then you should compare the sales of all iPhones and all Android phones, you can't pick and choose a few from each category.
