@Indefinite_Article it does, thing with pushbullet is its subscription only. Join was a one off payment for everything and I use tasker app(same developer), EventGhost auto plugin, Join plugin for Node-Red, IFTTT also links with Join

Paying subscription for pushbullet is a no-no 😆

Besides I can use android quick share as an option for all my devices since my laptop is Chromebook - personal devices that is 😉

@Render that apology won't come, sadly....

They'll just stop posting about it hoping it'll be forgotten about "swept under carpet" and claim "it's time to move on" and try and make it look like some can't "let it go"

Cause heaven forbids they actually admit they were wrong and they got manipulated "useful idiots"

under new management is a great way to finding out when extensions get sold or handed over to others

One of my favorite apps/browser extensions isn't working properly - for a few days now trying to push certain things from smartphones to Laptop/PC isn't working - I see others also seem to be having similar issues reading reviews on chrome web store

I use "Join" for this

Anyhooooo I just got notified via the under new management extension that Join extension has changed developers

Might be tym to ditch Join 🤷‍♂️

Ukraine’s prisoners flock to the front line for revenge, not amnesty

thanks to a report issued quietly earlier this month by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification’s Famine Review Committee (quite the name), we now know there is no famine in Gaza. Yet you will only see this discussed among pro-Israel Jews online.

Hallo effect(and blind trust)

https://counter.social/@ecksmc/112655655115842116

@ceorl indeed same here I've found it more useful than any other and mistakes happen.Exactly its up to users to make sure we ain't being misled by these services, blind trust a lot of these services are getting is ridiculous.

I like that perplexity let's users decide what they want returned in our results the "Focus" features to only search particular parts of the internet - academic papers online to discover scientific answers, or you can only search on Reddit etc...

Its not perplexity's fault if users don't actually click on the links provided by perplexity

Perplexity is a search engine of sorts anyway it provides URLs with almost ever result you get its up to users to then take a looksie

Robb Knights blog post explains more the technical side of what perplexity is doing and it really doesn't sound good ignoring the robots.txt file isn't agl 😬

again that said if they are ignoring the Robots Exclusion Protocol then that's not good even if its partly ignoring that standard as was reported by Robb Knight

https://rknight.me/blog/perplexity-ai-is-lying-about-its-user-agent/

IMO wired are more pissed they ain't getting traffic from the snippets perplexity uses from their site, and perplexity does provide links to articles when they use quotes and snippets from other sites, that and they "might" be scrapping data that shouldn't be scrapped, but that wired article there are a lot of "probably" "maybe" in it

Perplexity is scraping websites without permission.

¯\(°_o)/¯

I mean, my experience Perplexity is one of the better AI's I have used, that said I don't actually use it a lot, I've never encountered any actual bullshit replies like the others give

Perplexity Is a Bullshit Machine

#AI

A WIRED investigation shows that the AI-powered search startup Forbes has accused of stealing its content is surreptitiously scraping—and making things up out of thin air.

@Dbot lol you can usually tell the "cunts" from the "non-cunts"

Especially if you have actually been on a site and tinkered around yourself - "cunts" you'll find spend lil-to-no time on a site before they do a review - "non-cunts" will actually tell you about the user interface in detail, and an unbiased opinion, because they actually tinkered around beforehand and actually interacted with others

😆

@Dbot lol shoulda said most not all as some reviewers are actually not bad at what they do

Small percentage that is 😆

Social media site reviewers

@pendrag I've always called the news thingy at top a news ticker rather than news banner

Tickers are a strip of information that moves across the top or bottom of a television or computer screen.
