Like I said in my other comment, maybe I’m just really missing the obvious, but that wheel looks to be part of the food cart. You gotta remember phones have been doing computational photography as part of the image processing for years. Weird things can happen without any AI involvement

Maybe I’m really missing the obvious here, but I’m a little worried we will overcorrect at some point and start accusing everything of being AI. Especially as image models get better.

Hank Green gives a great example of this where a rocket landing that looks odd was misclassified by many as AI despite it being real

EDIT: I think the best alternative reason I can present for the weird part of the image is that it’s a screenshot of street maps. There are two images stitched together where the cart and cart meet. The cart is moving slow so it doesn’t make it to the second image, and the white car moves relative to the first car slightly in the second image, making the bumper weird. It does feel like I’m grasping here. It’s probably AI.

Totally agree nuclear is a great tool but totally being used for the wrong purpose here. Use those power plants to solve our existing energy crisis before you crate an even bigger energy crisis.

I feel like I woke up in the stupidest timeline where climate change is about to kill us, we decide stupidly to 10x our power needs by shoving LLMs down everyone’s throats, and the only solution to stay private is to 10x our personal LLM usage by generating tons of noise about us just to stay private. So now we’re 100x ing everyone’s power usage and we’re going to die even sooner.

I think your idea is interesting – I was also thinking that same thing awhile back – but how tf did we get here.

Ironically if these “Christians” actually followed the 10 commandments we wouldn’t be in half the mess we’re in.

  • You shall have no other gods before me: Trump
  • You shall not make idols: Trump literally made a goat with his face on it
  • You shall not murder: Palestinians
  • You shall not commit adultery: Hegseth amongst others
  • You shall not steal: the land from the Palestinians
  • You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor: MAGA creating lies like “they’re eating the cats and dogs” to justify their racism

This is kinda a bad take imo. I don’t think it’s chrome books that has ruined tech literacy. Maybe it’s younger exposure to even more addictive social media than previous generations?

I’m pretty young. My first mobile device was an iPod touch 4th gen. I figured out how to jailbreak it and I was like 12 at the time. If I ever felt one of these walled garden devices was holding me back, I enjoyed finding a creative solution around that. Since that iPod touch, I jailbroke my Wii and recently a kindle. I also modded a gameboy, but that was different than jailbreaking.

You may have noticed a lot of updates recently. The past few weeks have been a sprint to get App Store approval, and as of a few days ago, we're on the App Store!

View Blorp on the App Store!

It would mean the world to me if you could either

This is just the beginning! Hoping to launch Android very soon.

How tf do you not support an operating system. Like you gotta go out of your way to detect and block the operating system. Like if you put in 0 effort it would probably work but your company really spent money making their product less accessible for no reason.

Try it!

I haven’t seen another Lemmy client that lets you write code in your post with real-time syntax highlighting. It’s not just code. Write your posts in rich text without toggling between Markdown and preview.

There are a lot of Lemmy clients, so I’m sure someone else does this. But I wanted to share in case anyone else finds this helpful.

The entire app has been rewritten. This is to address performance issues, make Android possible, but most importantly, it lays the groundwork for more work to come!

Theres also a ton of small bug fixes included in this release.

Quick update:

I've been working on this project for a few months. After fighting some of the technical choices I've made, I've decided to rework some big components of the app. The next version, which will likely be 1.1.0, will take a few weeks, but should improve performance on iOS and will also launch on Android.

Because I'm rewriting a large portion of the app, it will likely be a 1 step back 2 steps forward situation. You may notice some steps back on iOS, but ultimately it this will synchronize web with Android/iOS better making it easier to manage all 3 projects and meaning better apps on all platforms in the near future.

Thanks again for everyone's support so far! Please keep your feedback coming, though I likely won't be able to address that feedback until I finish this major update in a few weeks.

Try it!

If you already have either the iOS or the Mac app it should prompt you to update. You can relaunch the Mac app to trigger the prompt.

Changes

  • Add setting to hide read posts in feed
  • Fix comments not showing up after submitting
  • Fix bug where saved posts feed was only showing posts local to your server
  • Refresh inbox tab more frequently
  • Cache user profiles
  • Improve performance of post feeds (most noticeable on iOS)
  • Fix dark mode flicker
  • Fix youtube embeds where video ID contains dashes
  • Increase the sizing of the login form to make it to use

Appreciate all the feedback so far!

I'm struggling a little to get the performance I want on iOS. I'm curious if anyone is using an older iPhone. I would love to hear if you think the app feels snappy enough or if there's room for improvement. If you could leave a comment or DM me with the phone your using and what you think.

Can someone check my math? I’m estimating Trumps first term tax cuts saved the top 1% at least $100b durning his first term. Trump is complaining about less than $9m being spent here. $9m is 0.009% of $100b. Did I get that all right?

Announcing the Blorp Mac App Preview – Available to Test Now!

Blorp is at a stage where there's still plenty of work to do, but I’m ready to start gathering feedback. The main areas that need improvement are enhancing the post creation experience and adding the ability to sign up directly through Blorp.

That said, Blorp is already very usable. I’ve chosen to launch the Mac app first because, among all the Lemmy clients, the desktop space is the least saturated. I’m starting with Mac since that’s where I’ve done all my testing, but the plan is to expand to Linux and Windows as well.

I’d love for you to download Blorp for Mac! If you’re not ready to install it yet, or you're not on a mac but still want to check it out, you can use the web version at blorpblorp.xyz.

Did I mention, Blorp is open source? You can read all the code on our GitHub.

Other platforms coming soon:

  • iOS
  • Android
  • Linux
  • Windows
