Time is a flat circle. I remember when honeycomb launched with a bottom navbar, only for Google to delete it later in favor of a (terrible) phone like gui

Kagi generated key points:

• The new Find My Device network on Android was designed with a strong focus on user security and privacy.
• The network uses a crowdsourced approach to locate lost or misplaced devices and belongings, even when they are offline.
• The location data reported by participating Android devices is end-to-end encrypted, ensuring Google cannot access or use the location information.
• The network has "aggregation by default" as a safety feature, requiring multiple nearby devices to detect a Bluetooth tag before reporting its location to the owner.
• The network also has protections to avoid contributing location reports when near the user's home address.
• Rate limiting and throttling are used to prevent malicious real-time tracking, while still allowing the network to be useful for finding lost items.
• The network is compliant with industry standards for unwanted tracking, triggering alerts on both Android and iOS devices.
• Users have full control over which of their devices participate in the network and how.
• The network design has undergone internal security testing and is part of Android's vulnerability rewards program.
• Prioritizing user safety and privacy is an ongoing commitment as the team continues to improve the Find My Device protections.

Can we start with the CEOs? Pretty sure shatGPT can do their jobs easily

Do it. Please. I want to watch what happens

Are search engines landed gentry?

Oh look the guy with the $50 upvote is responding to the guy who doesn't have any karma. Come on!

I bought the Xoom and the Nexus 10, and got my wife a Nexus 7

Google abandoned all within an extremely short timeframe. The Nexus 10 suffered the worst, getting an awful ui regression a few months after it came out

I have seen no evidence Google will do any better this time

*man gets bitten by snake*

Hmm, I got bitten. That hurt

*man gets bitten by snake again*

Ow, that hurt

repeat

I bought a pepper grinder called the Pepper Cannon. Yes, its wonderfully overengineered and costs a fortune. But it's made in the USA, and they've been pretty open with their startup process for making it.

Few months ago I was browsing across amazon and lo and behold, some pepper grinders that look identical to the pepper cannon came up. They were all cheaper knockoffs, selling for a fraction of the cost, and outright stealing PCs industrial design. I didn't buy one, as I don't need one and didn't really care enough to test if the mechanism was the same as the one I bought, but I did drop a line to the pepper cannon guys so they can try to get em delisted

Pretty easy to make an instance that would auto vote certain things with suspicious amounts of votes

As it stands now, they have to fake the origin of some of those votes. Not much of a barrier, the fediverse generally accepts any user an instance says exists, but still, it's a barrier

And of course any instance thats blatantly manipulating votes is going to be defederated, but I'm more concerned with an instance that behaves normally until it encounters a keyword or user is been set to, and then gives their posts a -5 or whatever

How do you know those posts are by real people? Reddit is incentivized to downplay and damage its competition.

Also, its not like reddit isn't without its glitches. Throughout its entire history, reddit has been plagued with downtimes, random 502/504s, and a myriad of other issues. I'd be hard pressed to believe they had more than two nines of uptime, and would not believe more than three.

Lemmy feels like how reddit felt in 2010

That's a rare thing these days

And the users left behind, particularly those that whined about the mods shutting stuff down, are never creators. They're just consumers, useless eaters. You can tell because their umbrage wasn't directed at the reddit administration, but was directed at the mods, who dared to interrupt their feeding sessions.
