It it like he can see us but we can’t see him?

Opposite way around. We can see him but he can’t see us.

The reason you can’t see him is because you’re on Lemmy which will only display microblog posts if they’re (1) a reply to a Lemmy post, (2) made from kbin/mbin, or (3) replied to by someone from kbin/mbin (not entirely sure about this one).

Twitter has taught me that nowadays people are too adaptable, 90% of people will stick with Reddit no matter what they do.

As I understand it, the message here is that any decently savvy user of Firefox turns off telemetry, so mozilla doesn’t know of them using extensions. hence why they say 80% don’t use them, people who do use them don’t give them their usage data.

that blocks your bank or even some games if your phone is rooted

That’s your bank and those games, not Google.

The games are obviously afraid of cheating/hacking. For the bank it’s about your account’s security. Root access gives a lot of power to potentially malicious actors, it’s definitely not weird for them to not work if your phone is rooted.

Antitrust is about powerful companies abusing their powerful positions. With powerful I mean control over a market.

The idea is that if society is functionally dependent on a product, it shouldn’t be the case that the owning company abuses that position to force people into walled gardens.

While it’s of course still bad if a smaller company does it, the amount of people impacted will be lesser, so it’s not seen as critically important to take action against it. So that’s why antitrust laws only target the big ones.

I do absolutely disagree with Apple not being big enough though. iOS has a 30% market share in the mobile OS market according to statcounter, that ought to be big enough imo.

Not sure, I’m not familiar with the test, just figured I’d tell the results from asking the AI.

I think based on what you said about it

AI will actually TRY to solve it.
Human nature would be to ask if the person asking the question is having a stroke or requires medical attention.

That the Balanced style didn’t fail, because while it didn’t ask about strokes or medical attention, it did point out I’m asking a nonsense question and refused to engage with it.

The Precise style did try to find an answer and the Creative style didn’t realize I’m fucking with it, so I do think based on the criteria they’d fail the test.

Though, honestly, I’d fail the test too. When asked such a question, I’d think there has to be an answer and it’s stupid of me not to see it and I’d look for it. I think the Precise style’s answer is very much where I’d end up.

So, I asked this to the three different conversation styles of Bing Chat.

The Precise style actually tried to solve it, came to the conclusion the question might be of philosophical nature, including some potential meanings, and asked for clarification.

The Balanced style told me basically the same as the other reply by admiralteal, that the question makes no sense and I should give more context if I actually want it answered.

The Creative style told me it didn’t understand the first part, but then answered the second part (the turtles being blue) seriously.

but maybe that was a short experiment

Could be, I don’t click on Twitter/X links often so I could have easily missed that.

it looks like they decided to start forwarding x.com links to the twitter.com version now. That’s new.

That was always the behavior for me from the start. I click on an x.com link, it brings me to twitter.com. Never was any different.

Modern Bing is a lot more useful for me than modern Google.

It hasn’t happened, am I accidentally doing something awesome to evade their traps so far?

Probably A/B testing.

I’m using Adblock Plus on Edge and have the same experience like you. No reaction from Youtube yet to my adblocker.

around the world

fully blocking ad blockers

One of those two has to be false, because I’m still not seeing any anti-adblocker measures on my end.

Fully blocking only if you aren’t using uBlock Origin

Not even that, I use Adblock Plus and have no trouble accessing Youtube and watching videos. Didn’t even need to update any filters, it just keeps working as-is.

I’m not using the most popular one (I use Adblock Plus, which iirc most people hate) and I can also freely use Youtube with it turned on. So it’s not about ublock.

Thing is, as I understand, on kbin, you don’t really get a feed of the people you follow like on mastodon.

There’s no dedicated follow feed, yeah, but I noticed posts and threads of followed accounts showing up in my subscribed feed, even though they were made in a community I’m not subscribed to. So I think the follow and subscribed feeds are probably just merged together currently, or rather “following” a user is being treated as just a flavor synonym for subscribing to a user.

kbin can interact with mastodon freely, so if that’s something you want to be able to do easily, you might want to switch over from lemmy.

I was thinking you can probably open the user’s profile on lemmy and reply to the post from there, but testing that didn’t seem to work. I assume that’s just federation taking a while though, so I’d say try it anyway. Searching for @name@usersmastodoninstance I mean. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.
