Well said, I think the library is the biggest point but also a harder sell for someone used to losing a large percentage of their games every generation. They see it as “having to buy their games again” in the short term.

Or y’know Ellen, or Will & Grace…

Move over FeRAM

This is it exactly.

“But how can we know if it’s a bot?”

We probably can’t based on a single comment or post, which is why rules need to be constructed around maintaining a level of effort and quality.

For a long time they were the only streaming service I was paying for because I wanted to support new Trek. Not anymore.

that’s not how any of this works

Honestly I was upset when they announced the “pivot to AI”, but Mozilla is the only company I’ve seen actually using LLM tech in a productive, helpful way. The link preview feature is nice too.

You’re not wrong about the Nazis, but since Substack doesn’t run ads, clicking will technically cost the company money.

Well, it’s not no.

It always is. The thing with FOSS vs a private company is that internal debates are:

1. Public
2. Involving people working for free

Meaning we not only see the ““drama””, but that it can become more verbally intense. Buuuuut it almost never ends up mattering much to the average user, and when it does, the public certainly won’t learn about it on github or the replies to a toot.

Right? The entire point of the fediverse is more moderation, if someone wants to force others to listen to their speech they can join an instance with no rules or go to X.com.

I’ve just accepted that most Redditors want a content feed to read on the toilet, and very few are looking for conversation or community.

If we can convince people looking for the latter to come to the fediverse… now that’s the real victory.

Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ml attract the most users but their (lack of) meaningful moderation really helps prevent users from staying, imo. Most users don’t understand that joining a smaller instance is often a better experience. And why would they stick around the Fediverse if their experience is worse than that of Reddit?

The right tool for the right job… LLMs can’t do a lot, and can make a lot of things worse when misapplied, but that doesn’t mean the technology is wholly useless.

On one hand I desperately want to know what happened to the Living Witness Doctor, but on the other, the mystery makes the ending of that episode so much better.

KDE is friendlier to Windows users than GNOME, but Mint is still a good option.

This only applies if you use their bridge and the bridge is connected to the internet. If you do what I said in my comment (zigbee2mqtt addon with dongle) then there is no path for them to collect. The Zigbee2Mqtt addon allows for firmware updates.

It may feel that way, but there is a lot of evidence pointing to that not being true.

lol nah, instead of the show they’ll go watch YouTubers who will tell them to ignore their lying eyes and continue to reiterate that the show is actually a teen drama.

Remember how the main overarching plot of Discovery was all about gender dysmorphia? And how that’s all anyone on the show ever talked about? No? Well, according to Youtube it was.
