My patient gaming badge has been ruined by Stalker 2 and Path of Exile 2 :(

Yup, this is actually pretty amazing

You're obviously looking in the wrong place for games then..

Yup, basically

Thankfully for general knowledge questions it gets things correct. A lot of what I ask or am curious about is general knowledge so it works really well for me

 

Not an advertisement I swear, but I honestly love language models, I specifically use Chat GPT and Gemini ALL the time.

I'm someone who loves research and learning. I always have questions on all sorts of things. Before GPT I would be googling things for hours each day, visiting forums, watching YouTube videos, etc.

Now with GPT I can ask so many questions on things I am curious about, and even ask follow up questions or ask for more in depth explanations.

I think I am also a bit ADHD and so my brain is always jumping around different topics which makes me curious on specific things. My latest is insects, specifically wasps.

I absolutely hate bugs, and wasps are the worst. But I am now learning more and more how important a lot of bugs actually are to the ecosystem. It's really a great way to learn and engage with topics when you can ask follow up questions or ask for more details on specific aspects.

TLDR: GPT has replaced 90% of my research that Google used to be.

Important Note: Please be aware language models can be innacurate and prone to mistakes, so always verify the data from other sources if you need accurate information and not just general knowledge.

How, in 2024, are people still using TEXTs??

There are so many apps for encrypted messaging, even fricken WhatsApp.

How do people still use text messages

Using Voyager as well, honestly love it and have no complaints

Holy shit what animal is that

Awesome! Inside is far better than Limbo in my opinion, but they are both good games

I switch between Firefox and Brave, I use Brave because it works a lot better with YouTube.

It blocks ads really well, and the background play works nicely. YouTube is quite clunky in Firefox compared to Brave

 

I know it's an odd question, but where I live phones get stolen often. My phone doesn't have the option for an eSim, which is a problem because 90% of the time when a thief steals a phone they take out the SIM card immediately, meaning I wouldn't be able to remotely lock or wipe my phone.

Should I consider glueing the SIM tray shut? Or are there alternative less permanent measures I can take to keep my device secure?

As per title, I'd like to know if there are any third party apps worth it still?

I'd ideally like a web app that scrapes the shit out of Reddit causing more harm than good. Anything like that available? (Even if it's a website that scrapes I'll be happy)

 

Apollo had this feature where you scroll past a post and it automatically marks the post as read. This is huge because it allows you to easily doom scroll without seeing the same content twice :,)

 

As per title, I would love a toggle option to allow in app links to open in my default browser automatically.

 

So I'm curious with the whole Ledger seed backup controversy, are Ledger devices actually safe? Should I continue to use my Ledger? I don't have much so I'm not too concerned, but I'd like to still sleep peacefully at night regardless.

My App Icon submission (sh.itjust.works)
 

I don't have any software on my phone to round corners so please excuse the square.

The fediverse is a vast and beautiful place, just like our universe. I think our app icon should go deeper and represent more than just a simple spaceship or a mouse.

As the title says, I'd like to know where I can get updates from the Anonymous group. Do they have any channels for announcements or is their an opinion site I can go to?

Edit: I know some news outlets have pages specifically for Anonymous but I'd like to try get updates from the source

 

As the title says, I'd love to view mobile data usage for wefwef specifically. Is there a way to do this? I've installed it as an app, ie added to Home Screen.

What is gorbitaska? (self.asklemmy)
 

I read a post about it but the post was deleted and I can't find anything on google. What I gathered from the post before deletion was its some kind of religious thing but it scares most people?

 

As the title says, lemm.ee is defederating instances that are allowing thousands of spam bots to be created on them. Will we be taking similar action? What is the game plan here?
