Rule 2:

2. All posts must end with a "?"

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

OP, this post is a breach of rule 5. please direct your questions to lemmy support.

OP, please re-frame your post title as a question with a "?".

Calling an entire generation lazy and unreliable isn't a helpful contribution to the community. I'm going to leave this comment up, but please be aware that it was a line ball whether to remove. Please be conscious of Rule 1.

This seems like the digital equivalent of burning books. Rather than controlling what people can read, shouldn't we be doing more about the underlying reasons that mental health has taken a dive, such as the cost of living, climate change, the cost of further education and, you know, giving people a reason to feel optimistic about the future?

I see what you did there!

OP, please reframe your post title as a question.

Ten is a terrible number to base our counting system on.

Maybe when you are counting apples, but not when you are dealing with arbitrary amounts. Why else is our number system base 10?

It’s all base 2/8/16, which is a hell of a lot more sensible than base 10 units.

Debatable. I probably shouldn't restart the whole imperial vs metric debate, but I might just say that people who grow up with metric think exactly the opposite.

I thought @draghetta made a good point in way that wasn't particularly shallow or dismissive. Not trying to stir hostility here, just throwing in my 2 currency subunits.

Love your attitude. Have an upvote.

OP, please re-frame your post as an open ended question, and end with a '?'.

Finger limes. Tastes like lime sorbet but with the texture of roe.

Hi OP. Please direct your question to the lemmy.world support community.

True.

I'm not surprised tbh. Having perused some of the text training datasets they were pretty bad. The classification is dodgy too. I ended up starting my own dataset because of this.

I'm not anti-Fediverse here, but tbf it would be ridiculously easy for data harvesting companies to plug into the API and fingerprint individual users from their activity. Admittedly, I don't see how browser based fingerprinting could be done without hosting an instance.

To be fair, that's true of most social media, including Reddit.

Line ball on rule 1.

generation of neologisms

Ngl, I had to look up what neologism meant, but now I know that it = new words, expressions or usages.

It fascinates me how fast language is changing. When I was young verse was never used as a verb, as in "today we are versing another team".

Or the word "meme" has completely changed meaning in less than two decades. It's like watch evolution on fast-forward.
