  • Ok, you have to be trolling. Are you? No one uses “I could quit whenever I want to right now but I’ll just do it later” seriously.

  • Read Allen Carr’s Easy Way. It’s not a great piece of literature, but it’s the best book to help you wrap your head around why you smoke and whether you actually want to.

    Can’t recommend it enough.

  • Greece can’t seem to catch a break. This is now what, a fifth island/region to be engulfed in wildfires?

    And their hottest month of the year is usually august :(

  • Topless... really?

    Jump
  • It shouldn’t be weird. But since it has been weird in the past, it now has to be weird for a little longer to stop being weird in the future.

    Treat it something normal and destigmatized and it will soon become that.

  • someone else

    How many people do you usually have in your bed?

  • You weren’t lying :)
    Is there an /AccidentalWesAnderson somewhere within the Fediverse?

  • I think that expanding it to allow for custom blocking patterns will make it more appealing in general. Like being able to add your richpersonofchoice to the list or the ability to block a company (Meta anyone?) might both be useful features.

    Not sure if it fits your plans though or how hard it’s going to be to implement.

  • Btw, what’s the current judicial status of exit nodes around the world? Why was he charged, yet the isp wasn’t? Would the isp be charged if it ran a similar exit node, or is it strictly because it was a private entity?

  • None of which is surprising really (I’m referring to everything mentioned here, from age to tech-mindedness and left-leaning views). It takes at least some technical knowledge and somewhat noticeable preference for FOSS-like stuff to bother with joining alternative platforms.

    Not saying it’s not easy, kbin is pretty much identical to other social media in terms of sign-up simplicity. But you have to actively want it to pursue it. And a lot of people don’t want to get into that, since media outlets and even random users have been whining about how hard it is to wrap your head around fediverse.

    I’d guess we’ll see more activity going forward. The general sentiment takes some time to catch up.

  • I saw this article posted in another thread and it seems to explain a lot. Not sure how close it is to reality, but it looks like nostalgia is at least a partial reason for this change.

    Yep. Fucking nostalgia.

  • Very interesting read. This article probably has the most sense out of everything I read about him in the news since he bought twitter. Not sure how close it is to the actual motivation behind all that’s happened, but if it is, it explains a lot.

  • Exactly! “I won’t allow for redeeming qualities on my platform!”

  • Please don’t tell me that Pentagon’s AI is trained on stuff that promotes religious morals and beliefs. Christian AI is how you get closer to evil apocalyptic AI overlords :)

  • Wow, that’s weird. A huge brand library, yet apparently I only ever used just one brand from that list, Persil, and it’s not even operated primarily by them. Good to know :)

  • Xit. Pronounced as in Xi Jinping.

  • Haha, didn’t make that connection. Damn, I even played portal and I don’t remember this joke)

  • You’re probably joking, but I’ll comment anyway. It won’t affect LLMs at all. ChatGPT just answers the question and discusses the paradox. LLM’s function is basically just to construct sentences, so there’s nothing really that can potentially infinitely loop. It doesn’t “think” about paradoxes.

  • I mean, they’ve been using the first one in the middle row for a while now for their media relations communications. Albeit from a different angle. They should probably go with that.

  • As someone who works in design, it’s something I’ve been hoping for for years. Still a bit salty about them discontinuing 17”.
