I’m with you about not hating shorts. My YouTube algorithm is great, the shorts it recommends are very geeky or from topics that I’m very interested in and I can just jump to my subscriptions if I don’t want to see random shorts/videos

91·26 days agoUff I never had a bad experience with them, I got my refund very quickly the only time I had a major issue but I’ve not used them in a while
Lately I check these “discount hotel” websites and then check directly with the hotel to get a price match. They usually do with Priceline, agoda, booking, experian and hotels.com

Technology@lemmy.world•Instagram quietly drops end-to-end encrypted chatsEnglish
63·1 month agoMy understanding is that Whatsapp is “real” e2e and it’s based on signal protocol. That app is the main IM in many countries so they’ll probably won’t mess too much with it
I didn’t really expect Instagram or messenger to be really encrypted

1·2 months agoI mean good-ish in the lesser-evil type of thing. I don’t expect any of those to be 100% ethical but there are some that are a lot worse than others
I don’t really have a computer capable of running a local AI. I have an i3 laptop from around 6 years ago with 12gb of RAM and integrated graphics

102·2 months agoEven when they give the correct answer they talk too much. AI responses contain a lot of garbage. When AI gives you an answer it will try to justify itself. Since they won’t give you brief responses the responses will be long.

2·2 months agoI meant Strava, I don’t have a Garmin. I use Strava (I pay for premium) and I like it and they keep adding features (I mostly ignore their AI)
After 3 free apps that I used to track my runs went under or really enshittified I decided it was worth it to pay for something I liked

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft AI CEO Puzzled by People Being "Unimpressed" by AIEnglish
82·5 months agoMy cousin just finished his MBA from a big college, he is so proud that he used AI for most of his assignments, he used 3 out 4 subscriptions to make it “more human” and “not mistakes” and so they couldn’t detect it easily
He said that everybody in his courses was using AI and that most group discussions were about which AI is better, so it makes sense that those managers are so excited about AI, because it was able to do their “meaningless” jobs so they think it can do anyone’s job, but he doesn’t see the irony that he would be the first to be replaced
I was thinking that! I got my PS3 early 2008, my account is old enough to vote
