Raft is incredibly fun. and an incredible time devourer.

it’s entirely grammatically correct

eeeehhhhhhhhhhhhh. the a/an rule is based on the first sound (phone?) of the word, not the spelling. hence “an hour”, for example, where the H is silent, but “a heist” where it’s voiced.

interesting they went with Chromium on desktop when their Android browser uses (or at least used to use) Gecko.

Google actually pulls results from web pages.

you know how some smartphone keyboards predict the next word that you’re going to use, and you can form a comprehensible sentence that sometimes even makes sense by simply tapping the next word on the prediction bar over and over? that’s what those language models do. they don’t actually search for anything, they just create sequences of words that sound probable.

a “search engine” that hallucinates results, including but not limited to non-existent court cases.

apparently some Mastodon admins got contacted by Meta and met with them after signing an NDA. I’m quite surprised how many Masto admins want to “just wait and see, maybe it’s not gonna be that bad”.

people kept saying similar stuff about Mastodon, and yet, miraculously, its user base somehow keeps growing.

Lemmy needs two things to be successful:

1. users
2. users

and it’s already getting more and more of those.
