There’s a gas station near me that have the mute button disabled. I refuse to go there and the station I fill up at is 2 miles out of my way.

Same, except for list comprehension in python, I prefer sinlge character var names there.
I’m literally having my 19 year old cat put down tomorrow due to kidney disease and I very much wish for him to feel young and healthy again. It sucks.
People who sit to pee are still splashing the underside of the toilet seat, so there’s piss to cleanup for standers as well as sitters.
I was taking the comment thread (about how dangerous this could be in photographic evidence) a step further by imagining a hypothetical techno-distopian future where corporate controlled AI alters photos to make them look better, but in reality, it creates a back door where incriminating evidence can be created.
edit: since it wasn’t obvious to readers, this is a hypothetical of a techno-distopian future…
Imagine taking a selfie only to see an image of you holding a knife. But there are no knives in your hands. Another snap. Same image displays on the screen, but there’s a person of particular importance in the background. You turn your head but are all alone. Nobody is around. You’re starting to freak out. Are you being pranked, maybe your phone has been hacked. Another shutter sound effect and you see an image of yourself over a victim. You frantically open your camera’s gallery, thinking your eyes are fooling you, but the photos are the same. And are sent to the cloud. Deleting isn’t allowed, AI detected felonious imagery. You’ve been reported to multiple agencies. You are alone. There are no knives in your hands.
Mine is 19. Nearly lost him a few weeks ago to kidney disease. He’s on special diet now and doing better. I can’t help feeling like we would have caught it earlier with regular checkups. He’s old, deaf, and has an insatiable appetite, I just hope the quality of life he has in his final years are worth it to him.
I feel like they’re being disingenuous. Lots of what-aboutisms and moving goal posts and ignoring the issues that got us to needing right to repair laws in the first place, namely Apple and John Deere and all the copy cats, but also with the goal of reducing e-waste.
I’ve never seen this amount of energy to run in the presidential election from an unqualified con-man. And I don’t disagree with you on this showing issues in the state itself, but I suspect we may have different ideas on what those issues are.
Cats would be furry purries.
Modern SUVs are about the size of a Sherman tank from WWII.
Why the switch? What are you looking about nixOS? (just curious, i haven’t heard much of nixOS)
Do you do the same with your DE? lol
Same. Was even using it on some servers years ago. I don’t anymore, but on CentOS on servers, then Alma Linux after the centos8 debacle, but now after recent red hat debacle it seems I’ll be replacing server OSs with debian. Arch all the way tho on workstations and laptops.
For sure! I only meant that it felt a little gatekeepy, was not intending to imply that you were. I share your worries.
This is a good question! I don’t know enough to answer correctly, but answering wrong will likely have someone correcting me ;)
I believe each instance will have local posts/comments, e.g. a local version of /l/gaming but there are 3 methods of viewing posts: local instance (all communities/posts for users on that instance), all (all communities on all instances), or communities (all instances, but specific community). I suspect filtering will improve to bring better ways of filtering and sorting, but it’s going to be dependent on the lemmy app, mobile app, and potentially custom mods on an instance.
I feel like I was noticing this on the main site as well. I’d be surprised if they hadn’t been changing the algorithms to spoon feed us specific content, but there’s also a very high likelihood that the overall feel of the content has changed after swaths of people migrated out, and then I’m sure I have a bias against Reddit now as well :P
I share your sentiment up until the last bit which feels like gate keeping. There are enough healthy discussions coming from a lot of people outside of that demographic to make me want them to follow us here. Plus it’s bad for reddit if they do. I worry about the negative effects, where quick and easy comments that are easier to digest get upvoted over well researched and thoughtful comments. But I’m hopeful that we can learn from the past and develop tools to better incentivize people to write thoughtful comments. I think the fediverse has the potential to help us avoid dumbification of content, but it also brings greater risk of creating echo chambers.
My sentiments exactly! The app developers will make the same, all or most of that fee will go straight into reddit’s pockets.
Same, but they’re getting harder to find.
