Doesn’t seem to be working for me. I just saw that there were a bunch of stalled notifications (19 hours old, stalled as in stuck at downloading/ready to install) and when I go into the app it’s just the same old offer to download and then after that I get the option to install each one separately.
I updated to 1.19 and have two app updates listed as available. They are not updated automatically and there is no F-Droid setting for background updates that I can find. In order to install the two aforementioned updates I am required to first download them and then, for each one, I have to press install and then confirm on a popup.
To be fair, those updates were available before I updated F-Droid, so whatever mechanism that is supposed to be triggered may not have been because the updates were not new?
Nevertheless I am excited about the prospect, because updating my apps have been such a pain that I constantly procrastinate dealing with it. Sitting with the phone in front of me, clicking a few times, waiting, clicking a few times, waiting, then repeat… never leaving the app and making sure it doesn’t fall asleep… it is not a fun activity.
That seems like it should work in theory, but having used Perplexity for a while now, it doesn’t quite solve the problem.
The biggest fundamental problem is that it doesn’t understand in any meaningful capacity what it is saying. It can try to restate something it sourced from a real website, but because it doesn’t understand the content it doesn’t always preserve the essence of what the source said. It will also frequently repeat or contradict itself in as little as two paragraphs based on two sources without acknowledging it, which further confirms the severe lack of understanding. No amount of grounding can overcome this.
Then there is the problem of how LLMs don’t understand negation. You can’t reliably reason with it using negated statements. You also can’t ask it to tell you about things that do not have a particular property. It can’t filter based on statements like “the first game in the series, not the sequel”, or “Game, not Game II: Sequel” (however you put it, you will often get results pertaining to the sequel snucked in).
Thank you for this! I’ve been reluctantly using Grammarly because I thought there were no alternatives.
No, different apps this time.
Edit: Oh I see, you meant that each app needs to be manually updated once first
