I'm trying fast-forward and imagine how we'll end up also hating lemmy in the future.

They are asking Microsoft and Open AI to pay a subscription?

You mean that they can later equate "subscription for using this model trained with my book" to "subscription for using your brain trained with my book"?

I'm completely ignorant of Spain's politics but after my 10min google investigation, because I'm curious, I found that apparently the current prime minister is negotiating some votes from a Catalan political party so that he can be reelected.

In exchange they ask for 'amnesty' with which to delete all their criminal records for the illegal 2017 secession referendum, which would mean forgiveness of the crime, as if it had not occurred. With this some party members who fled from justice would be able to return to Spanish territory.

There are also a bunch of financial deals but the amnesty thing is the one that makes the news.

Is there a list with the amount these developing countries owe to China? edit: found it https://docs.aiddata.org/reports/how-china-lends.html#appendix

Also, that's probably just google enforcing EU user consent policy which will be mandatory for mobile ads starting from January.

It's weird that a user was happy seeing ads without consent and now decides to ditch the app because it asks for consent before showing ads it was already showing ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks, you gave me an idea, the problem was that my keyword had ' but the title has ’ so now I had both types of quotes and it works.

Yes actually I already had those blocked but turns out that I had Elon's but this title has Elon’s, different quote characters ' and ’ so that's why it didn't work. Funny thing, after adding that keyword I couldn't come back to reply and I thought the post was deleted, had to remove it just so I can access the post again.

I use Sync for lemmy on Android, it has a nice option where you can add a list of keywords and it hides posts that have it in the title.

I hate that I can't block posts about X. I have a bunch of keywords blocked with filters but obviously I can't use X as a keyword. I'm sick of news/posts about X.

Well, the guy is in jail for what he did, and as bad as his action was the government can't just ignore the issues he uncovered.

I got the notification but I'll wait a couple of weeks.

One thing I want to test is the change about installed apps and the Guest user, in theory version 13 allows using the same apps already installed without requiring a separate play store setup.

I'm curious to see if it can be used like an app safe/incognito mode to test apps that ask for too many permissions within a sandbox.

I guess that's how Java was born.

I'm too busy holding my table, can't attend.
