This is where I am at. Got a phone survey from comcast. Gave them 1 star on every category except how likely am I to continue to use comcast at which point I gave them a 10... because it's a monopoly and it's literally the only ISP in my area. I pay 150 dollars for 10mb/5mb service with a 3tb cap. If I go two blocks in any direction I can get 100mb/50mb for 40 bucks with no data cap. Even the exact same plan from comcast 2 blocks away is half the price with 8 times the speed and no cap.
Walmart has a policy where you are not allowed to accept tips. If you are caught you are fired. People try to tip all the time for the grocery delivery stuff and if they manage to get money into your hand or the delivery basket you have to inform a member of the management staff. Granted this might not be true at every location but it is part of the corporate training you have to do if you work there longer than 4 months.
The first time one of these lemmy servers gets hit with official court papers thing will no doubt change. A big part of the operation budget (well maybe not so big of a percentage but big as in price) is to hire a legal team to handle stuff like this and juggle international laws.
I imagine a few lemmy instances will be killed by things like this.
It appears that it is getting close to a full release for Sync for Lemmy. My only concert is that it might go to a subscription only method of payment. I'd rather pay a lot for a one time unlock or even like a 2 year unlock instead of a monthly subscription.
Im getting subscription burnout and I'm sick of having to juggle literally a hundred subscriptions every month. If it does go subscription based, sadly I'll probably pass on it. Which would be a sad close to a long history of using sync.
Normally when I buy a burger somewhere I eat the lettus, tomato and pickled individually and throw the onion away. Then eat the burger. But it makes more of a statement to just say they all should go in the trash! :)
I imagine as it grows it will become more useful. It's not particularly my viewpoint that lemdro.id isnt useful. The opposite is true. I was just pointing out in my original post that, sadly, all I've gotten sofar were unhelpful bot responses. I wasnt particularly trying to push an agenda or anything. I like lemdro.id and am registered there and will help where I can to make it better... but also bots... :D
This is one of the bots that responded. I did a "bad bot" type reply to it and it delete or someone delete it's post. https://lemdro.id/u/GPT4
I dont particularly have an issue with bots and this one is clearly marked a bot. The main issue is that it just searched and summarized the top 10 reddit answers to the same question which I had already done... Im sure the bot didnt break any of the bot rules. It's just that bots dont generally give good answers to questions without refinement to the parameters. If I was directly using ChatGPT I'm sure I could get it to give an acceptable answer to most questions. But a random bot giving a general answer is not much use. (To me at least).
Sometimes people just dont have answers to the questions... Bots always do sadly even when they are not correct.
