You can now install or update up to four apps concurrently from the Google Play Store in c/[email protected]

That's not how it was done before, though. It wouldn't download update A, start installing A, then trigger downloading update B while A was installing. A would have to finish installing before B could even start downloading.

Especially for smaller updates, the overhead of the network handshaking to start the download can actually make doing 3/4 downloads at once faster than sequencing them. For larger updates, it matters less, but it's not a negative.

You can still use an app while the update is downloading. You only can't while the update is installing, and installations still have to happen sequentially (limitation of Android). It only really matters if you want to specifically use an update right away, but then you can just manually trigger the update for just that app.

Leonardo DiCaprio (who played Jack in the 1997 Titanic movie) is kind of notorious for dating people in their early twenties and breaking up by the time they're in their late twenties.

Not to defend the mega corporation, but companies file patents for ridiculous things all the time that never end up actually being made or used.

That's kind of the name of the game with computer models, unfortunately. They're reflections of the people making them and the data used to train them, which means they can't be fully objective. Maybe one day we'll figure out a way around that, but the current "AI" certainly isn't it.

In a lot of cases you are forced to use AI. Corporate "support" chatbots (not new, but still part of the cause for fatigue), AI responses in search engines that are shown without you asking for them and tend to just be flat out incorrect, Windows Recall that captures constant screenshots of everything you do without an option to uninstall it, etc.

And even if you're not directly prompting an AI to produce some output for you, the internet is currently flooded with AI-written articles, AI-written books, AI-produced music, AI-generated images, and more that tend to not be properly indicated as being from AI, making it really hard to find real information. This was already a problem with generic SEO stuffing, but AI has just made it worse, and made it easier for bad actors to pump out useless or dangerous content, while not really providing anything useful for good actors in the same context.

Pretty much all AI available right now is also trained on data that includes copyrighted work (explicitly or implicitly, this work shouldn't have been used without permission), which a lot of people are rightfully unhappy about. If you're just using that work for your own fun, that's fine, but it becomes an issue when you then start selling what the AI produces.

And even with all of that aside, it's just so goddamned annoying for "AI" to be shoved into literally everything now. AI CPUs, AI earbuds, AI mice, AI vibrators, it never ends. The marketing around AI is incredibly exhausting. I know that's not necessarily the fault of the technology, but it really doesn't help make people like it.

I ordered a BLT with onion (sh.itjust.works)

I took the onion off and made some garlic bread with the loaf so things turned out okay.

I was looking forward to the BLT though.

Edit: I ordered delivery through GrubHub, so I couldn't see them making the sandwich. I thought it seemed a little light when I took it out of the bag, but the BLTs I've gotten before have always felt light, so I didn't realize.

Also this is c/mildlyinfuriating. It wasn't a huge deal, and GrubHub refunded me for the item, but it was mildly infuriating since I wanted a BLT and someone misunderstood my order.

I made a deep linking proxy for Mastodon and Lemmy on Android (github.com)

Hey everyone!

Because of how Mastodon and Lemmy are spread across multiple domains, I made an app for Android to help make following shared fediverse links hopefully a bit easier.

Fediverse Redirect has support for most Mastodon and Lemmy instances, and lets you choose which client you want the links to open in, even if that client doesn't support deep linking. It needs some initial setup because Android is very much not built for one app to have so many deep link domains specified, but it should be easy on Android 11 and later or when using LinkSheet.

Both variants are free and open source and there's support for a bunch of clients already. I'd love to hear your feedback on behavior/UI/new clients/whatever. Keep in mind that a lot of clients don't have a way to send them links, so I may not be able to add support without changes to the client.

Right now, downloads are available through the GitHub releases tab and through IzzyOnDroid. I may put the apps on the Play Store, but I don't think they'll be happy about all the deep link domains.

As with the original post, let me know if this isn't a good place to post this and I'll remove it.
