• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to disable Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) on your TV (and why you shouldn't wait to do it)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Better yet, just don’t connect your TV to the Internet, and use a separate device to watch your content.

  Yes, the same principles still apply there, but TV makers long term support had generally been horrible, only adding more and more ads and privacy leeching stuff after purchase.

  I haven’t used it in years, but I just logged in to check my feed.

  Despite what lemmy keeps telling me, I didn’t see a single racist tweet.

  Turns out that, since you pick who to follow, you get what you sign up for. In my case, a lot of privacy advocates, developers and journalists.

  Keep jerking that circle, people.

  For writing, I personally prefer Sonnet.
  But the best thing is, I use openrouter.ai - that way I have access to dozens of models, including those of openai, at the same pricing scheme of their own apis.

  Hook it up to a self hosted openweb-ui instance, and I can switch models on the fly. Best of all worlds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SpaceX pulls off unprecedented feat, grabs descending rocket with mechanical arms⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That was amazing to see live. Like, in the last kilometer of the landing, it was still traveling over 1500 km/hour, and slowed down just in the last moments.

  (for all the Americans, that’s travelling about 4.5 football fields per second, for a height of roughly 10000 burgers).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google to use digital driver’s licenses to verify the age of website users⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I take offence at the term digital drivers license. It implies the owners have passed some kind of test to use the Internet.

  Digital passport is a much more appropriate comparison.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SpaceX says regulators will keep Starship grounded until at least November | SpaceX blames the regulatory delay on "issues ranging from the frivolous to the patently absurd."⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure that’s the case - spacex has done hundreds of successful flights in which their rockets came back to land. Not a lot with this new model though, which is what the test flights are for.

  From what I heard in previous articles (and what this one hints at as well) is that the FAA just doesn’t have the manpower to check the amount of flights current space agencies are aiming for.

  But without an official response from the FAA, we won’t know.
