I disagree.

• Mbin's terminology (inherited from Kbin) is annoying. Thread vs post vs magazine, boost vs upvote etc are unconventional and annoying.
• No default sort option. Every time I want to see new posts, I have to manually select "new"
• User instance and community instance are hidden
• Difficult to manage/view subscribed magazines
• Image upload dialogue is confusing

Lemmy has alternative UI such as Voyager and Photon, they are way ahead of Mbin in terms of look and feel.

What do you like about Mbin's UX?

I had too much fat yesterday, so I decided to have something light today.

That's voice chat which has been there for a long time.

The 4o voice model is different. 4o can chat much more naturally, and you can interrupt the voice chat in 4o.

Try it, you can't interrupt the chat unless you touch the screen.

You can go back to see the 4o voice chat demo, and you will find out which different it is.

I am a free user, and it is still chatgpt 4.

And the new voice model doesn't seem to be available yet, even for paid users.

Is it able to use a LLM?

Then there will be class action lawsuit from all the owners who paid for the devices.

Based on what I've read, you can still do what you bought them for without paying the monthly fee. You just have to deal with the old dumb Alexa.

By the way...

The New Siri seems to be quite useful, with "personal context" understanding my calendar, messages, mail etc.

ChatGPT 4 voice mode is very impressive, with the conversation getting clarifications and finding exactly the information I want (when it is not hallucinating). ChatGPT-4o will be amazing if it is as good as what we saw from the demo.

It is not for everyone, but I personally use AI chat every day and find it useful.

I am quite interested in what Google and Apple will do about their voice assistant devices. The New Siri appears to be quite useful, if it can actually do what we saw in WWDC. But Apple hasn't mentioned anything about the HomePods.

Google Home/Nest has been stuck with the dumb version of Google Assistant, and has been getting worse. It has no integration with any other Google services, and there was no mention of Home/Nest in Google I/O.

If either HomePod or Nest gets released without requiring subscriptions, I might move away from Alexa devices.

... and pushing ads on echo show devices.

CCTV. Ironic China Central Television has the same acronym as closed-circuit TV.

cloudless , 20 days ago to Ask Lemmy in Which is more ram efficient Lemmy or Reddit?

I think restricting yourself to certain website for optimisation isn't necessary.

It is like saying you would avoid driving a city car to the motorway because it is more efficient on city roads.
