It only released onto the AppStore 3 days ago. I’d argue they deserve some time to get it right.

Luckily I’m about to switch to graphene OS soon. I’ll be forced to make a bunch of changes to choices I made out of convenience in the past

Interesting. I deleted my account fully about 2 years ago at this point. I wonder if they still had enough of my data around to be in the breach

Now I wouldn’t say that it made my year, but it did make me smile each time I used it.

It’s mainly that the event only just ended and the talk recordings were just released.

Fair. I’ll delete my comment

And at the same time I’m sure they asked less of some of the clowns this administration DID give a security clearance.

I’m in an environment with various level of sensitive data, including very sensitive data. Think GDPR type stuff you really don’t want to accidentally leak.

One day when we started up our company laptops Copilot just was installed and auto launched on startup. Nobody warned us. No indication about how to use it or not use it. That lasted about 3 months. Eventually they limited some ways of using it, gave a little bit of guidance on not putting the most sensitive data in there. Then they enabled Copilot in most apps that we use to actually process the sensitive data. It’s in everything. We are actively encouraged to learn more about it and use it.

I overheard a colleague recently trying to let it create a whole PowerPoint presentation. From what I heard the results were less than ideal.

The scary thing is that I’m in a notoriously risk averse industry. Yet they do this. It’s… a choice.

My volunteering group won’t switch away from WhatsApp :( doesn’t help that half of our volunteers are over the age of 55. It’s the only reason I still have the damn app installed.

For people in the same or a similar boat: reduction is better than nothing. I got all my other contacts to switch over to signal. It’s only that one volunteer group left.

Soooo… screw the network of a bunch of companies I guess, lol. I have to use my work’s VPN while working from home, but the way they set it up I also have to use it while working at the office. This is far from a unique setup over here. If this happens to be the same in Wisconsin I have some bad news for them.

Nah, why get rid of it if you can get exclusions for just AI, like they are doing for other stuff like copyright.

Don’t give them ideas…

I don’t think that there’s more assholes than decent people. I think the assholes just stick out more.

Hey, they chose to offer free labor for a company that has proven time and time again to not give a crap about the mods or the users. I get why they are complaining but I at least hope that they aren’t surprised or expect that their complaints will do anything.

I tried in 5 or 6 different subreddits. Different phrasing, sometimes not even outright saying the name, definitely not linking out. None of them made it through.

It doesn’t help that all comments mentioning Lemmy are instantly shadowbanned or removed.

The machines probably yes. The little electric motors will probably need replacing eventually though.

They aren’t even my oldest machines. Just the oldest ones that use electricity

I have an electric singer sewing machine from 1964 and another one from around 1950. Amazing how well they work.
