I wouldn't say "better", because then people will assume, as you have, that it solves all of the problems with Reddit. Lemmy solves certain specific problems that are evident on Reddit. Namely the centralized ownership of the platform and the enshittification that can result from that.

It doesn't solve the problem of certain bad-faith user behaviours like downvote brigading, trolling, etc. If anything, those problems are a bit worse in the fediverse since ban evasion is really easy. We recently had a problem with a troll who spent two months posting incel stuff to a variety of different communities, and when he got banned from one instance he would just create a new account with a different instance. He went through like 15 accounts, though he does appear to have finally given up as of a week ago.

"Increasing competition" without lowering prices is meaningless.

Tell me you know nothing about economics without telling me you know nothing about economics. The effect of increasing competition in a heavily monopolized industry is to lower prices.

Edit: I slightly misread the quoted text. I had assumed that "increasing competition" meant breaking up Canadian monopolies, not opening the floodgates to other markets. I'm really surprised that a party called "Canada future" is against protectionism. I still stand by my point here, but I see where you're coming from.

Yeah same. I'm AuDHD so I'm just constantly ruminating. CBD and ASMR videos help.

Y though

around 95% of feedback is positive to very positive.

Don't focus on the ones that don't like you. Focus on the ones that do. Unless there is something constructive in the negative reviews, you can safely ignore them.

Hopefully the fact that this was a national park that was affected will make the federal government start considering a federal wildfire fighting program.

I never said advanced. They say they are using ML as part of the process in the post

It has never worked though, as far more people would vote helpful if something made them laugh (because people just think "more upvote")

Sounds like AI will be used to detect the shitty meme reviews. Honestly a great use of ML

1. For the most part, you don't miss anything. The only exception would be if there is a server that has defederated (basically disconnected) from your instance. I'd say you made a good choice with .ca since it has very few big important instances that are defederated from it.
2. There are some communities on lemmy.ml (the instance run by the devs) that specifically are there for interacting with the devs. !lemmy@lemmy.ml is the main place for questions about using lemmy. Whatever client you're using should also have its own community for questions about the client itself. Generally you shouldn't ask those sorts of questions on asklemmy communities.
3. Global karma isn't a thing in the lemmyverse. It's not impossible to calculate it (by adding up the karma of each post and comment on an account), but it's not a primary statistic tracked by the software itself.

Google doesn't have any reason to think you care about competition based on your query. You asked for a specific bit of information and it showed you websites with that information.

Some interesting YouTube videos about pirates:

Yeah it's nothing to do with caves. It's because below decks there were powder magazine rooms that you wouldn't want to carry a flame into.

That's my favourite Wes Anderson film! The story and design are beautiful and the writing is brilliantly clever.

the effects are intentionally low-budget

Some of them are for aesthetic reasons, but this film was actually pretty expensive to make. Famously it did a lot of damage to WA's reputation among Hollywood execs because the studio greenlit a high budget for him and gave him a lot of creative control and the movie ended up doing really poorly at the box office. It cost 50M to make and only earned 25M in box office sales.

It's because of corporate greed. Anticheat is basically totally achievable on the server side, but that requires much more computing power. The idea of client side anticheat is to reduce infrastructure cost.

There is a tutorial mission to show you some of the basics.

I just started watching it for the first time recently. It's good 👍

Few years ago the output of GPT was complete gibberish

That's not really true. Older GPTs were already really good. Did you ever see SubredditSimulator? I'm pretty sure that first came around like 10 years ago.

Fun fact: Squidward Tentacles isn't a squid. He's meant to be an octopus.
