the guardian, a respectable centre-left news organisation
I don’t think The Guardian hasn’t been centre for at least 5 years now. It used to be a respectable news origanisation, yes, but today the vast majority of their articles are opinions posts.
You should be happy. Mine does a different thing every time, no matter the setting…
Picocrypt is a very small (hence Pico), very simple, yet very secure encryption tool that you can use to protect your files. It’s designed to be the go-to tool for file encryption, with a focus on security, simplicity, and reliability.
I would say it’s slightly more than this: The vast majority of Lemmy is comprised of only a few things—politics, tech, memes—and it’s hard to find discussions or opinions about almost everything else. The main value of reddit to me is (was?) that you could find a lot of input from people involved in a wide variety of fields, from niche hobbies to more generic areas of interest like history, philosophy, or medicine.
I’ve actually found that there are people on Lemmy with similar levels of expertise, and they’re willing to share it just as well, but they have fewer opportunities to do so, because very few threads get posted outside the 3 main topics. Several times I’ve come across useful and interesting insight, but it was in the comments of posts only vaguely related, so it would have been difficult to find intentionally if I hadn’t run into it.
So, perhaps, this is what could improve Lemmy: starting more discussions about different topics. Perhaps this will attract more people to read them, which might attract more people to post.
So the two-factor authentication apps shouldn’t be on desktop argument never made sense to me, mobile is the same way.
I think that argument was rooted in the assumption that the phone was a separate and smaller attack surface. The assumption is reasonable if you use your credentials mostly on desktop and only have a few apps on your phone, which was indeed the case for a lot of people in the past.
But nowadays, a lot of people use the same credentials on the phone just as well, and with everything asking to install their app, I’m not sure the attack surface really is smaller anymore. So, if you’re in this scenario, I agree with you that you may not be sacrificing much by having 2FA on desktop.
And, of course, 2FA, even in the same password manager, is still better than none. Your first factor can be stolen in more ways than just compromising your machine, for example through data breaches.
I don’t know. The quality of the food you get through a lot of these delivery services is already much worse than going to the restaurant yourself, whether it’s from fast food chains or independent restaurants. Even food from restaurants that are otherwise good often arrives cold/mushy/damaged. And yet, food delivery services get a lot of customers…
About halfway through the article they quote a paper from 2023:
Similarly, another study from 2023 found LLMs “hallucinated,” or produced incorrect information, in 69 to 88 percent of legal queries.
The LLM space has been changing very quickly over the past few years. Yes, LLMs today still “hallucinate”, but you’re not doing anyone a service by reporting in 2025 the state of the field over 2 years before.
It’s a shame. The app worked well, and it was nice to have a native look rather than a generic web one.
I use GroundNews. Their biggest value to me is that I can see the headlines for the same coverage from different sources before I read the text. A lot of times this alone is enough to tell me if there is actual content there or just speculation/alarmism. If I do decide to read the content, it’s a very easy way to get a few different perspectives on the same matter, and over time I start to recognise patterns in the reporting styles even when I’m not reading through GroundNews.
Another useful feature is that you can past an article link or headline and it will show you alternative sources for the same coverage. This doesn’t always find useful alternatives, but it’s a simple, easy way to do basic fact-checking.
And while most people here might not appreciate it, when they aggregate multiple sources, they also have an LLM-written summary of the content of the articles. The (somewhat ironic) thing about these summaries is that often they’re the least biased, most factual interpretation of the news compared to all the sources covering it. This is because the summaries are generated from all the content, so when the LLM finds weak or contrasting information, it won’t report it as a fact; when most of the sources agree, then it will summarise the conclusion. This is an excellent use for LLM in my opinion, but you can use GroundNews perfectly fine without it.
