Right, exactly. It also takes 3-4 seconds to load in which time I could have just middle clicked and loaded it in the background. Maybe on mobile I'd use it but only in rare circumstances.

What exactly are the AI features everyone is talking about? The only one I've encountered is the "long click to preview link" and it's... not super useful but far from annoying like Copilot.

He seems to be active in replies to his own posts. I recall him being frustrated by a lack of tools available for high follower accounts like they apparently offer on Twitter.

This was an unusual (For Alec) and remarkable episode. I found it very inspiring. Also Alec is one of the few YouTubers I know of on Fedi. @TechConnectify@mas.to

A good example of how generators are designed to create passable outputs to people without experience.

Yeah I'm actually quite impressed. I can only find one weird smudgy bit (lower right).

I can see you care about this a lot, so please tell me; in your opinion at what point does a PC cease to be "self hosted"? When it's carried across the property line? Maybe if the electricity bill is paid by a roommate?

ok thanks I'll stay away from lemmy.zip

Love to see the people in here gatekeeping "selfhosting" 🙄

We're all just out here trying to escape big tech. A docker container doesn't suddenly stop becoming "selfhosted" once the hard drive it's on crosses a property line. Who the hell cares, seriously.

Yeah I saw that... not really what I would consider a "web backup" exactly. I was hoping they were rolling out encrypted photo storage plans.

I can't find anything about the web backups in the article or release notes.

I wish there was a decentralized nonprofit social media platform out there that cared more about interactions and exchange of ideas than endless feeds of engagement farming
