Google why? in c/[email protected]

Yeah I'm still pissed about them removing the menu button that all of my apps used to depend on back in the day. Now it's the whole selective file permissions dance giving me a headache.

Do any non-corpos actually like AI slop? in c/[email protected]

Boilerplate code (the stuff you usually have to copy anyway from GitHub) and summarising long boring articles. That's the use case for me. Other than that I agree - and having done AI service agent coding myself for fun I can seriously say that I would not trust it to run a business service without a human in the loop

Good one! I'm literally dealing with this right now on a server. Turns out you're expected to deal with long running processes that spawn too many threads yourself, or else....

I pay for crunchyroll because I want to support the content creators. It's this a mistake?

Does anyone know if this is the same way Sober is running the port of Roblox?

Newpipe works great on tablets too, a lot of Android apps have a landscape mode

Yesss! Closed source (not surprising let's not share the recipe with Roblox devs) and only available as flatpak but I'll take it! Thanks bru

Well that sucks.. I'm still pissed at Roblox for their DRM rug pull on Linux. Didn't stop the bots and hackers for more than two weeks anyways - bet Ryujinx 2.0 will be out soon too.

Anyone know if DRM is cracked on Roblox yet? Just a yes or no I can find it nevermind I'll go look

What are the bands that didn't get international recognition but still are absolute legends where you're from? (www.youtube.com)
 

I'll start - Tananas. It's basically the soundtrack to my early adulthood. They were the Dave Matthews band of South Africa.

Xiaomi replaced my app from F-Droid with their own version (lemmy.world)
 

So this just happened - those of you who have a Xiaomi phone know when you install apps it has it's own "Virus Checker" screen which comes up before the app is approved for install. This is provided by Avast I just found out..

Anyway while installing an app from F-droid today I got an error message on this screen - which said "app from unknown source" and two buttons below - "Ignore" and "Install". So I clicked on "Install" since I wanted to install the app and then noticed that the install process seemed a bit different (I can't remember what happened exactly) but I checked the app on F-Droid and the version history wasn't available - which a notice says means the app was installed from Play Store or somewhere else. But I just installed it from F-Droid!

So I tried another few apps and it happened again for one of them. I clicked around and there it was, some sort of Xiaomi app store installing versions of the app instead of the one I told my phone to install.

I guess there is an innocent explanation for this - stopping people from installing malware and giving them a "correct" version of the app they wanted - but I have disabled it on my phone, I know what I am doing and if I want the cracked version it's because that's the version I meant to install ;)

Alternative to Generating images: get AI to generate query for real image (Unsplash) (lemmy.world)
 

Unsplash has a ton of free content and a great api - so I used the hugchat api to generate search queries based on some user input text and fetched images from there.

Buggy test site (using all free api's so will break frequently, free Unsplash* api is 50 pics/h) here: http://aisitegeneration.devsoft.co.za *sorry Unsplash I haven't added the attribution for photo's yet, I will soon ok?

Thoughts on this approach vs generative AI?
