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.

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 ditched my first email for first.last@domain.com right out of high school.

It was cringe enough that even 18 year old me recognized it.

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

Google does not include this setting.

I don't think it's FOSS, and I'm not sure about mod tools, but I switched from Sync to Boost and have found it to be great. I miss Sync, but it seemed like development had stalled out.

Got me started on Feedly. Still haven't left, although I'd be surprised if I still had more than a couple of the same feeds from then.

I think at some point someone paid me and I just never cashed it out. I think it was the default payment method for Google Play, so app subscriptions and whatnot just got charged against it until there was almost nothing left.

Oof. Big dumb. Thanks!

The fun part is you still can't transfer out less than $1. I had 81¢. So I tried to transfer in 19¢ so I could transfer a whole $1 out.

Nope, can't transfer in less than $10.

I was able to transfer in $10 so I can get my $10.81 out. But fuck, Google, if you're the one shutting shit down, how about you let me transfer my money out regardless of how much/little there is?
