  • I have so many questions about this article. First of all, who is Gercek News? It appears to just be a website run by 2 people. The article seems to do nothing but repeat the accusations with zero investigation or corroboration. I’m going to need more evidence than just one person’s Instagram account.

    Microsoft puts a steep price on Copilot, its AI-powered future of Office documents
  • For light users, $36/mo is very expensive. However, for middle and upper management types that live, breathe, and eat PowerPoint, this is huge. If this is good enough to allow non-technical people to connect to their BI and generate charts and reports without the need of IT, it will be incredibly cheap to them. There’s a whole cottage industry of consultants for small business who do these sorts of things so having this automated will save time and cost for these businesses.

    As a developer, I’m still interested in seeing what CoPilot integrated in my development environment will be able to do. My company is currently paying for ChatGPT+ at $20/mo for me. At my salary, it’s a no brainer since even an hour a month is a huge ROI. However, it’s quite manual since I have to copy paste everything. If I can get ChatGPT 4 with the full context of my project, $36/mom is a no brainer. If we can get a private version that is trained on our company code base, it will be a game changer.

    Melody 0.19.0 | A language that compiles to regular expressions and aims to be more readable and maintainable
  • I can’t say this is for me. What I really need is something that will convert one flavor of regex to another. It’s really annoying to always have to look up the shortcuts and capture group syntax.

    Self hosting my own Lemmy instance was so much fun
  • For CSAM in the US, you have to have actual knowledge to be responsible for reporting. If you view the image or it is reported, you must act. Its pretty much the same for DMCA.

    Age Reversal Breakthrough: Harvard/MIT Discovery Could Enable Whole-Body Rejuvenation
  • The sci-fi type implications of this would be astounding. We would see a rapidly increasing global population with high natural resource use. On a philosophical level, is living forever a blessing or a curse?

    LG to offer subscriptions for already purchased appliances and televisions, evolving into a provider for “Home as a Service”
  • I bought a $3k+ LG OLED. I intentionally never agreed to any TOS so that it would act as a dumb TV. I wanted it on the network so that I could control it through Home Assistant and Apple HomeKit so I put it in my IoT VLAN. Within a day it was trying to port scan my network! It is now fully isolated with no outgoing connections allowed.

    YSK: There's now a Lemmy Issue Tracker Community to Share Suggestions and Issues
  • I think this could be very valuable for the community and the Lemmy devs. However, I believe to be successful, there needs to be a volunteer(s) who “sync” the community to the GitHub issues. We could automate this but that would make the situation worse. Here’s how I could imagine this working:

    When a new feature or bug is posted, the mod determines if this is duplicated or not. If so, they will reply to the post with a link to the previous post and lock the current one. If it is truly new, the community can vote and comment. After a week or so, if the community supports the new feature or fixing the bug, the mod will open a new GitHub issue with a summary of the community discussion and link to the discussion.

    This is a lot of work for the mods, but I believe it would really add value for both the Lemmy community and the devs.

    GM ditching CarPlay could go bad, complain car dealers
  • My first GM vehicle was a C7 Chevrolet Corvette. I wanted it since it was announced in 2014 but held out until 2016 when it finally got CarPlay. I’ve since traded it in for the 2020 C8 Corvette that also has CarPlay. I bought a dongle that enables wireless CarPlay so I don’t even need to plug it in.

    I absolutely love my Corvette and would be interested in buying the next generation. However, I will not consider it or any other GM vehicle if CarPlay is dropped. It is a mandatory feature for me.

    Lemmy Proposal: Replace up/downvoting on comments with emoji reactions
  • I’m not sure this is possible since reactions tend to be in the context of the comment. For example, if a comment is expressing anger at an injustice, an angry emoji would probably be interpreted as “I am also angry” at the injustice and not disagreement or anger about the comment. If someone is expressing a personal loss, a sad emoji would me likely mean sympathy.

  • I would like to propose replacing up and down voting on comments with emoji reactions. Since Lemmy doesn’t have a consequential karma system, I don’t believe the gamification of comment upvotes helps engender a discussion with a diversity of opinions. Instead of a binary choice, we will be able to express a far greater range of reactions. I see emojis as being especially helpful as a replacement for downvotes since it will help the author understand why the reader disagrees. While I agree that replying instead of downvoting is a better choice, it’s not realistic for everyone to have the time to do so.

    For posts, voting serves a useful purpose in creating a curated list of most popular posts in each community. This is important for people who don’t have time to follow all posts in their subscribed communities.
