Yeah, I think this plus the desktop app might be a huge deal
I love this wild west phase of the Fediverse! Feels like the good ole days of the Internet. Onwards!

I don’t think it’s actually been rolled out to the app yet. When I load up the app, I see the old voice feature, not the new mode.
This is why Lemmy needs to keep tweaking it’s feed algorithm. I understand why many people rightly have a distaste of social media algorithm fuckery, but Lemmy doesn’t have some of the same bad incentives that an ad driven site like Reddit or twitter might have. A better algorithm will help Lemmy grow and surface interesting posts organically.
The recent feed change to boost smaller communities in 0.19 is a good start, and not showing too many posts in a row from the same community will be another welcome change.
I’ve done this every time I’ve looked for a job. If it’s the kind of company that would snoop on my browsing history and cause issues, it would just have motivated me to look harder 🙃
I’m speaking from my 20+ years of experience in tech, so this advice might not apply anywhere, but I’ve found the fastest way to keep increasing your salary is to switch jobs every couple of years. I usually got bored of a job in a couple of years anyway, so this also helped prevent burnout. Additionally, switching jobs at leisure like this meant I could negotiate new salaries harder at the new place and didn’t need to try and change jobs during an economic downturn or a bad job market.
Oh, and I’ve always regretted staying on in a company too long once I get the itch so I’d recommend starting a hunt as soon as you think a change might be good instead of waiting till you start hating your job!
Also on Reddit being a poweruser meant that you could probably sell/loan your account to shady advertisers, which isn’t as much of a problem here since the Fediverse isn’t monetized by ads.
Additionally, I think power users are a problem if they’re just blindly spamming posts without engaging with the community, not so much if they’re just organically filling the void with posts.
I <3 lemmy’s prolific posters. o7
Thank heavens for your unhealthy posting habits, we need to clone you Stamets
Also, Google is a (the?) major source of funding for Mozilla, so they have a lot of clout with them.
lol, can’t disagree
Honestly, this is part of a broader trend of enshittification sweeping the Internet these days. It’s not just spez, it’s any SV bro from the current crop of technology companies. I think this is a lesson worth remembering for all of us who took the freedom and magic of the Internet for granted.
Devs, yes, but I think very few of us program in rust :)
because I also host an instance
Ah! That rules out filtering. I don’t envy what you have to trawl through all the garbage to keep the rest of us safe!
I hope at some point more people start contributing to the core lemmy codebase as well. I don’t suppose there’s that many rust devs out there, but I think that would have much more of an impact in the long run.
I totally get what you’re saying, and those things drive me up the wall too.
I’ve ended up curating my feed heavily, blocking and filtering words, users and communities that don’t interest me. Since then, I rarely see any of the whining. If your client supports filtering by keyword, it might dramatically improve your Lemmy experience :)
Him and Stamets
OMG, LilDumpy left another comment! 📸
It looks very toy-like to me for some reason, like those tilt-shift photographs. I wish I could see the rest of the surroundings, it’s a very interesting picture. Good job, OP!
They’ve only released the weaker version, Gemini Pro, which is integrated into Bard. It’s performance is comparable to GPT 3.5. the stronger version, which will go toe-to-toe with GPT4 will be Gemini Ultra, and will be released sometime in 2024.
Very impressive! Apparently the slightly weaker version is bring released today in Bard, which is still not available in freaking Canada.
The more powerful version which claims to beat GPT4 at MMLU comes out next year.
