Oh, that would be super cool, thanks! I hate to have you do it for me, but my schedule is all kinds of abnormal right now. If you wouldn’t mind, that would be great! DM me if you need any info!

Sorry it’s taken so long to give it a shot, been a busy couple weeks.

Maybe I’m missing something, but it looks like registration is completely disabled now.

Conde Nast doesn’t have an interest in driving away their readers, and AI bullshit absolutely will drive them away. They know this. Ken Fisher is the editorial lead for AI at Conde Nast (not just Ars), and said as much in the comment section.

AI is absolutely fucking things up on a grand scale in all sorts of industries, but as of right now, Ars is relatively safe and I don’t think we need to inflate the scale of the danger.

I’m not so sure Ars has a vested interest in OpenAI. I actually read through 10 pages of comments. Ken Fisher was pretty active in them, and noted several times that Ars doesn’t see any of the money from this deal.

Could it still be the same though? What if there’s an image post that has the same issue in the image? When Boost tries to load that post, wouldn’t it crash too?

Huh. I wonder if this is related.

It’s literally a flag in the account settings.

That said, I think mass copying of Reddit content is the issue. Functionally, yes, Lemmy and Reddit are similar. But they do have different cultures/subcultures. Even within a given topic, when you have both a subreddit and a community, they will like and dislike slightly different things.

I think the solution would be for individual users to bring content (links, memes, etc. - not comments or entire threads) over that they found worthwhile, instead of bulk copying.

Well, looks like I have that enabled, so that’s good I suppose.

Boost user checking in, also currently on .world but I’ve been on several and… it’s fine. No problems.

I used to use Sync, but the sporadic updates lead to rapidly piling bugs.

I have T-Mobile and don’t have this toggle, so it’s not all accounts.

Edit: Well, ain’t that some shit. I have it in the app, but not online.

I just started a diet and this is challenging my sanity.

I was just saying earlier that I would kill for a good bagel place in town.

Hell, I’d kill for any bagel place in town.

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is today.

Today is always a good day to make the world a better place. Don’t add to the inertia.

For what it’s worth, logging out and back in didn’t work for me, but clearing data on the app did. Now if only I’d remembered to back up my settings…

Any app I’ve found that can do this requires rooting. Some ROMs include this by default.

Google does not include this setting.

I assume you got voted down because Boost isn’t FOSS, which is true. But it’s still good.

I moved to Boost from Sync (also not FOSS) when it began to look like the dev had abandoned Sync. Boost felt like the closest app visually and in using it.

I’d prefer something FOSS, but inertia is real and I’d been using Sync for a long time.

That’s actually how I found AA. AP finally got shitty enough for me to bail a few months ago, so I googled to see where Rita went.

I’ve found Android Authority to be pretty decent. As a bonus, they have Rita!
