Mastodawn

Oh, #AI hallucinations now with ads.

The losses continue and the grasp for paying customers continues.

#ticketplus fürs #9EuroTicket (sogenanntes "#Deutschlandticket ") ist ja mal Scheiße. "flexibles Abo, Freiheit, blablabla" und dann #appzwang , App crasht im Startbildschirm, #google oder #apple Bullshit. Anstatt einfach nen QR-Code an die Bestätigungsmail zu hängen.

Zum Kotzen.

My wife wanted a simple habit tracker but all the options on the AppStore seemed to require a monthly or yearly subscription 🤮 (#enshittificaton at work). So naturally I did what any sane developer would do and built one myself. We have been using it with TestFlight for the past year but I have finally got around to releasing it. All data is stored locally, no tracking and no subscriptions.

It even has a cute bear logo that my wife designed.

I managed to set up Invidious and Materialous today so I can watch YouTube without the ads or tracking.

I heard there was some hubbub over #duolingo using ai to build lessons.

Oh yeah. I just ran across some inaccuracies that had to be accepted in order to proceed.

My #French isn't very good but this was blatant.

The above is all true of "applications" before 2007, before #enshittificaton, when the platform model of intermediation hadn't geared down to tap the full energy of both sides yet.

Search for "mastodon" on the App store returns the app for the Epoch Times? WTF? #enshittificaton

They know where I am and what I'm doing!

I've been driving my uncles' car while in Minnesota. I am now receiving SiriusXM spam emails.
They are subscribed to SiriusXM.

I have been making some changes to my website to better allow people to subscribe via RSS and showcase my PeerTube videos. There are is stills some changes to be made but it is getting there:

PeerTube, RSS and website changes | Alex Hyett

I realised this week that I really need to embrace the Fediverse a lot more than I have been. It was easy to justify posting on YouTube instead of my own platform when I was getting a share of the ad revenue, but now it's gone, the incentives are gone with it.
