I was particularly fond of the naming:

Really is isn't it? A friend made this and forced me to be an alpha tester, and I just had to share.

Wonder what the reasoning behind that is. Some of the takes people (devs and users) have had on Lemmy design decisions have been frankly a bit weird too – like when someone requested instance blocking so they could block Lemmygrad:

Nutomic: Would it be an option for you to switch to another instance which blocks lemmygrad.ml? For example https://sopuli.xyz/ or https://beehaw.org/

dessalines: This may be a non-issue, because I've added an easy way to block communities from that community page in the next release (you could already block them by going into your user settings). So you could just block communities from instances you'd rather not see, as they show up in your feed.

I kind of agree with nutomic tho, that if you don't want to see communism in your feed, you're better off signing up for an explicitly anti-communist instance.

And someone suggested instance blocks be logged and reported to admins:

ericjmorey: The implementation of this feature should include a log and reporting accessable to instance admins of when a blocking action was taken and the current state of which instances are being blocked by which accounts.

Weird API. Returning the text for deleted comments and then expecting clients to redact it seems highly silly

Heartwarming ❤️

And the thing is, I think the reality is even worse than that.

Current AI models aren't going to lead to general AI, we need something radically different. The current "static" neural network models just won't cut it, we need something like spiking neural networks so the AI can be "on" all the time.

Actual AGI is probably still so far away that I doubt mass-scale industrial society has enough years left before either the climate or some other human-caused idiotic omnifuck kicks the chair away from under it.

Well, could be like Taiwan; never, ever underestimate the human capacity for fucking things up. If there's one thing humans are exceptionally good at, it's making the dumbest fucking decisions you can possibly make without being single-celled.

Who knows how the world would have turned out if things had gone in such a different direction.

We meatbags have to be the absolute worst role models for AIs

Fines levied by the EU can be pretty damn stiff though, so I doubt Bluesky can afford to just ignore the DSA

Oh it's the rule 30 sea snail! Didn't know they were super poisonous, huh

And I'm here for it

Current models point towards a max ~6°C anomaly for the pessimistic (and, imo, most probable) scenarios where we continue acting as we are now.

I feel we're dealing with some sort of Trolley Problem scenario here

Nah, just making a silly joke about guns usually not bringing things alive

Surprisingly enough it's an oven for toasting things.

They're not super common outside North America as far as I can tell, or at least I don't think I've ever seen them here in Yurop (well except in like cafés etc. of course). Don't really see the point, I can just use my oven to toast things

I'm unaware of an ammunition type that can bring things to life

Misandry is when people say Tater tots don't shower or that women would rather date women

Half-loathing

I make my own though

And what exactly was "misandrist" in this meme?
