I actually like the ability for a local AI to help with this in theory. I don’t think it’s an excuse for unintuitive UIs though.

Makes me think that platforms banning Trump after Jan 6 were just kissing up to Biden coming in. Maybe there is just a cycle of capitalist sucking up.

+1.

I wish we had type c but all cables were labeled with clear functionality from the start. I don’t like data/power only cables.

I’m guessing this is a cost thing. You don’t need to pay for fact checking anymore.

… still obnoxious and pushing us towards a dead echo chamber internet. Get ready for AI personalities voting on community notes.

So you don’t want a free place to upload videos? … why? Is it just because it’s Google or too big or why?

I love the idea of a free place to upload videos, I just wish there was a way without as many ads or with a cheaper ad free prem.

Honestly good on them for keeping the spirit alive for just about everyone who isn’t a direct competitor of theirs.

Let them make some money to continue to fund it. They even invalidated all sponsorships because of the license change.

Unless you personally were willing to fund whatever they make on their integration, then this is an ok play in my book.

Corporate executives love using the word pause to allow the possibility for a resume. It also makes it not a failure since it never finishes negatively: it is paused.

It’s word gymnastics.

I still hope as part of the antitrust ruling, they rip chrome from Google and undo this crap.

I’ve had good luck with uBlock Lite.

(Yes I could swap browsers but nah).

There’s another free video editor called shotcut. Give it a try, works great.

What? I have winco down the block… I’ll check for it next time I’m there.

Edit: confirmed not at our WinCo

Thankfully we can federate bot posts to make that easier :P

I live in the USA and can confirm never seeing this before.

Though I’d try it tbh

All local. Nothing sent. You can choose to not believe it, but it’s deceptive to imply they don’t say it’s local.

If you don’t believe them it’s one thing but they said what they said.

Lots of comments in here saying this sends stuff to Microsoft and yet that isn’t true. It’s an offline local feature.

I personally look forward to giving it a try.

I always worry the the backup USB drive would be dead.

I guess I’m one minority but kind of like an ability to fetch the key from the web. Doing that securely of course can be tough.

Yep. Someone thinks the Google name has some crazy value.

Probably bureaucracy. Also an inability to pivot even when things make no sense. Everything is a giant freight train that has very little ability to change direction or stop.

Oh and of course a healthy taste of not being transparent or honest.

‘in the 10s’

… man I feel old now lol.

Then just ask to not be facial scanned. Last airport I went to had signs saying you could opt out.

Then you don’t need weird glasses either.

If the scan fails, they’ll just ask you to take them off.
