2 months ago while looking for apartments, the majority of the pics shown were generated by AI. The pictures generated by AI often looked much more brighter, cleaner and larger and when I visited them in person, they were the opposite. I wasted so much time visiting due to this.

I understand the intention but the pictures are so wrong most of the time and hide so much imperfection that it should be illegal for false advertisement.

I built a similar website this summer https://wikisp.fanor.dev ! The source code is also open source https://github.com/haskaalo/wikisp

haskaalo··on macOS 13 Ventura review
I'm French Canadian and because of this I have two keyboard languages. French Canadian and English (Canada).

Before, when I'd press FN to change my keyboard language, I used to see "French Canada" and "English Canada". Now I just see "Canada" and "Canada - CSA".

This is a weird change.

haskaalo··on How We Built r/Place (2017)
During the first version of /r/place, there was some mechanism in place to reduce the use of bots such as a CAPTCHA and not allowing newly created accounts to place pixels.

However, this year I feel like they gave up on all of that simply to gain more users.

haskaalo··on Apple's plan to “think different” about encryption opens a backdoor to your life
At this point, I think phones can be compared to a home in terms of privacy.

In your house, you might have private documents, do some things you don't want other people to have or see just like what we have on our phones nowadays.

The analogy I'm trying to make is that if suddenly the government decided to install cameras in every houses with the premise to make sure no pedophile is abusing a child and that the cameras never send data unless the AI done locally detects it is something that I believe would shock everyone.

How can they make sure that the mass produced version of the vaccine doesn't have a "mutation" (extra/missing nucleotide) in some shots while producing the mRNA?
haskaalo··on AWS and their billions in IPv4 addresses
I believe most home ISP doesn't support IPv6 in many countries like Canada. Thus, resulting in IPv4 still being considered as "default".

Also, with the increasing numbers of devices connected everyday, we're running out of IPv4. Think of the demand vs supply curve (demand high, supply low, result = higher price/ip)

You can check IPv6 adoption in each country here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=per-...
