I thought it would be forced out between the gaps at an even higher rate of speed, so it was somewhat lose-lose.

Yeah if where’s the thrill if you’re just gonna be notified of nukes & nados like a wuss

Also personally, prefer a 0.00% chance of finding a wandering elderly person or abducted kid to 0.00001%

(If either feature were frequently abused that would change my calculus, or maybe if I had severe anxiety(?) or a critical sleep schedule or something)

Edit: I mean this more lightheartedly than it sounds

Wouldn’t they have to sacrifice like three* minutes of battery life or something though? Everything packed sooo tightly.

*or 10 or 30, somebody here probably can make a really good educated guess

Do they offer that in Vader?

Yeah @PM_ME_SNEKS_IN_HATS@lemmy.world - this is a first! Also curious to hear more.

I recently looked into this after it seemed like Facebook messed with my back button on a private mobile window:

Someone pointed out that it's nice to have, for example, your email provider know that you probably want to go back for a message to your inbox instead of going back to the previous page.

But what if browsers monitored which sites abused the feature and showed a pop-up when you click the back button, just like they offer to show you notifications? They could show you:

This site has been reported to hijack the back button. Would you like to go back to the last domain that you visited?

and offer to remember the setting.

Attached what I think are my relevant settings. I mainly use Safari for iCloud Private Relay.

Maybe it makes it harder for a site to track me if I’m using Private Browsing versus using the regular mode without clearing website data, eh?

Too bad Tab Groups don’t isolate cookies (and other data), seems like that would solve for some of my use cases. And too bad Private Tabs forget cookies when they’re not used for a while / you run out of RAM. That would also solve for some use cases.

I’d like to pin a dozen or so completely isolated tabs and have them always maintain my cookies. Because I can’t, I use Tab Groups for a few sites I use frequently, and launch a new Private Tab for everything else.

iCloud Private Relay keeps your internet activity private

Private Relay hides your IP address and browsing activity in Safari and protects your unencrypted internet traffic so that no one -including Apple—can see both who you are and what sites you're visiting.

Researchers create 30 fake student accounts to submit model-generated responses to real exams. Professors grade the 200 or 1500 word responses from the AI undergrads and gave them better grades than real students 84% of the time. 6% of the bot respondents did get caught, though... for being too good. Meanwhile, AI detection tools? Total bunk.

Will AI be the new calculator... or the death of us all (obviously the only alternative).

Note: the software was NOT as good on the advanced exams, even though it handled the easier stuff.

So awkward, but come on it says right there on the package to wash those mushrooms or whatever it is… You’re not their mom but you don’t wanna eat feces or whatever ended up on the produce. A quick rinse is never going to be perfect but it’s better than nothing.

In the absence of legitimate suggestions, commiseration is welcome too 😉

Info Wars - @BeetleMoses (sh.itjust.works)

alt-textA three-panel comic strip. In the first panel, a man in a suit (Alex Jones) is sitting at a desk with a banner behind him that says "Info Wars". Offscreen, someone says "Cut!! That's a wrap for today!"

In the second panel, “later”, Jones asks a green frog washing dishes "Everything ok, babe?"

In the third panel, the frog cries and demands "How long do we have to hide who we are??"

Pesticide atrazine can turn male frogs into females

Atrazine, one of the world’s most widely used pesticides, wreaks havoc with the sex lives of adult male frogs, emasculating three-quarters of them and turning one in 10 into females, according to a new study by University of California, Berkeley, biologists.

The 75 percent that are chemically castrated are essentially “dead” because of their inability to reproduce in the wild, reports UC Berkeley’s Tyrone B. Hayes, professor of integrative biology.

@stephenrobles Hey, I have ethical reservations regarding OpenAl in general. Is there an option in the new OS versions where we can disable ChatGPT integration entirely?

Stephen Robles

@bradthornborrow Yes, Craig Federighi discussed in last night's talk show. It's off by default, and only prompts to turn on if you ask for something Apple Intelligence won't do. But you can disable that prompt entirely and never use ChatGPT
