I learned about kagi when I got here on Lemmy and I’ve been using it since. Sucks that it costs money but they’re not making money elsewhere, that i know of, so it can’t just be a loss leader and free.

It’s a stretch, but i wonder if things like the onion, with us laughing at the insane stories has had any impact on the general reaction to what’s happening now. Like people don’t really care.

Mostly. Their transcription getting the wrong words are more of the issue.

They replaced the “M365” app icon with “M365 copilot” and the copilot icon on android the other day. I Uninstalled it.

It’s nice to be able to use copilot in some of these apps, it is shit to be forced to have it everywhere.

I won’t speak for everyone, but the one Gen Z in my extended family calls me when he wants to talk to me. Might be coming back?

I promise you, I would risk getting shot every day for a 10 million dollar salary. Many jobs are dangerous for very little pay, give me the cushiest job and maybe somebody murders me?

In general, the employer that purchased the insurance plan decided what they wanted the plan to cover. That’s why you can have great insurance plans when you’re in a union, for example. While for a bottom line, an insurance company wouldn’t want to pay claims, the people actually doing it each day are just following whatever plan guidelines they’re given. This death will do absolutely nothing.

If you avoided Twitter, why would you think you’d like its alternative?

It’s just a microblog site. Depending on what you’re interested in, it can be good for news, social movements, updates from companies (i followed game devs and would see patch notes and things), keeping up with celebrities or content creators, following topics or hobbies you’re interested in (like you might here), or like when nearly everyone was on Twitter - just seeing what trending things people are talking about. If something is going on, like the Mike tyson Jake Paul fight, seeing everyone’s takes on it, jokes, memes, can be fun for people or make them feel connected.

The way sign up currently is, probably not. It would still default to bsky.social and your average person isn’t going to think about it.

Kind of. If anybody signs up for that premium lite they’re fools.

Are you an illegal immigrant or otherwise ineligible to vote? How else would you be proving him right?

For what it’s worth

“Recent comments at Ignite about Windows 10 are reflective of the way Windows will be delivered as a service bringing new innovations and updates in an ongoing manner, with continuous value for our consumer and business customers,” says a Microsoft spokesperson in a statement to The Verge. “We aren’t speaking to future branding at this time, but customers can be confident Windows 10 will remain up-to-date and power a variety of devices from PCs to phones to Surface Hub to HoloLens and Xbox. We look forward to a long future of Windows innovations.”

What stops them from just saying what people want to hear, then doing what their party wants? There’s no accountability because you wouldn’t know that the party that lied last election is saying the same thing this election.

Current Lemmy will circlejerk about the end of any company or product with the smallest nudge.

Every slightly negative post above a certain threshold of views will have comments about abandoning whatever thing it’s about.

There’s different teams doing different types of work.

Like the claim system might have it setup so X codes in Y situations can’t be automated. Then someone looks at the claim, determines based on their written guidelines that this one needs to be reviewed so they look to see if there are notes attached. If there aren’t they request the notes, maybe by sending a letter. If there are, they send it to the team that reviews notes and makes these decisions. Those people probably also have written guidelines on what is allowed or not and if it’s more complicated they (should) have someone qualified that can review it. Then the claim is probably sent back to the other team saying “Hey, deny that code and allow this code”, where they then just do whatever that says.

They probably also have situations where X code in Y situation is “never” allowed and the first people reviewing it just always deny it. Then, as mentioned elsewhere here, the provider has to resubmit it and then it’s allowed on “appeal” by another team. This brother you mentioned is probably doing very little decision making beyond applying already decided guidelines to each claim, if he even processes them.

All good. I think we’re thinking of this from different aspects anyway. I’m thinking a company just subscribes as part of their office subscription and Microsoft is doing the heavy lifting of the cost and hardware. I don’t know how OpenAI makes money besides their little subscription.

(which you seem to do and keep on posting here)

I’ve only made the comment you’re replying to. I’m not whoever you’re thinking.

You keep mentioning cost, and in the grand scale of “there’s no such thing as a free lunch” there’s a large cost but for users, they’re just paying for a license from Microsoft to have copilot in their visual studio software or in M365 apps, etc.

So for helping with development, it’s really not that expensive for the users. Also, “they” make lots of ridiculous claims, and i don’t know who said it, but no developers in 5 years is a wild claim that no one should’ve thought was real.

Considering you’re a hobbyist and probably don’t have marketing, it’s too soon to say it’s a flop. Many games like that pop off later once it gets seen.

Yes. Since the mascot is an elephant, it’s Toots instead of Tweets. To the other person’s point, toots are fine for what I showed, anime type channels, but less legal things like piracy, onlyfans leaks, etc. wouldn’t be great there, since it’s not a private group of just the interested parties.
