Not sure about that. Sure, you might drive up your short term sales if consumers think they're getting a great 5* product at a bargain. But in the long run, your customers will be disappointed by the quality and turn away from the platform. I hear more and more complaints about fake products being delivered, service degrading and real brands being drowned in the search results with Wish/Temu-like rubbish on Amazon.

I am still a regular customers at Amazon and I even still pay for the Prime membership but my shopping behavior has changed a lot over the years. Instead of buying expensive stuff like TVs, notebooks, sport equipment etc. I nowadays mostly buy cheap stuff due to the "free" shipping. Super glue, adapters, a cable here and there, little kitchen supplies etc.

I don't trust Amazon anymore for bigger things which from they'd profit the most.

Also Prime memberships are questioned more and more across my friends and family. And I think fake ratings are one important aspect for that. Among others like treating their employees like shit, having a horrible person as CEO, etc.

From my perspective deep fakes will lead to a short but massive peak of harassment until everyone is aware of the technology and its capabilities. Once the technology reaches the mainstream and everyone is able to generate such content with ease, people will just stop caring. If these videos are everywhere, it's easy to play it off as a fake. It might even help victims of actual revenge porn. Virtual nudity will become less of a deal, probably even in real life.

From my perspective the bigger issue of deep fakes is news. We already have a huge issue with lies on social media and even TV and newspapers today and once we can no longer trust what we see it will be incredibly hard to build up trust for any sources.

Fake videos of politicians being spread to harm their credibility, fake videos of war crimes to justify an attack. Or vice versa if there's an authentic video of a crime the offenders will just deny the authenticity. But in contrast to Trump's "fake news" claims today, it will be more or less impossible for normal people to fake check anything.

If you can run EXE filles on your work PC and you just don't have administrator rights to install software, you should be able to download a portable version of your favorite browser.

I used portable Firefox, Chrome, Notepad++, Eclipse, Sysinternals stuff and many more without problems that way.

Disclaimer: Althought this probably works technically, it might still violate some company policy.

Thank you so much for sharing the results. Very interesting to see the outcome after participating in the survey.

Out of interest: do you know how many participants came from Lemmy compared to other platforms?

I think that's an amazing self-ironic design! 100% sends a smile to first time visitors while also delivering a nice little message to underline the importance of the topic.

And then I have to add all URLs from all global Lemmy instances manually? Isn't there an intelligent solution like there was years back with tapatalk that all kinds of sites could integrate with the same app?

The fish sturgeon is called "Stör" in German. The verb "to annoy" means "stören".

Most of these memes that were posted recently are puns where random German words that contain "stör" or a simmilar sounding syllable is replaced by the fish.

<º))))><

Could you explain that a bit further please? I'm using Boost and links in General aren't working for me.

If I open a lemmy instance in Chrome or Firefox, I didn't find a way yet to open it in Boost. Neither the "Open with App" nor the Share button seem to work.

Even if I click on a link in Boost, it just opens in my default browser which is very inconvenient.

Questions 11, 12, and 20 we're all graded incorrectly as the correct answer contradicts the specified source.

Based on the automatic grading I got 12 out of 20. Based on the feedback / comments I got 15 correct.

I'm quite proud that within the human photographies I classified 100% correct but I guess it'll be impossible for me if the algorithms just improve a tiny little bit.

0% compression. Amazing what AI is capable of nowadays :-D

So I guess ESH?

Becoming mainstream very fast might also go along with regulation and lots of pressure towards the mods and server admins (e.g. hate speech, discrimination, fake news etc.). That might make it very hard as there's no compensation for the work except of some donations maybe. I think it would be better to grow more natural with a slow but consistent pace to give the infrastructure and people some time to adapt to the bigger crowds.

Personally, I tend to prefer apps on mobile and the web versions of services when working from a PC.

Thanks, I did that now. Didn't realize so far that the entire instance is just about replicating reddit. So for me that should do the trick.

He spend so much time trying to help you out of your addiction and you're just disregarding all his efforts as not helpful.

That's nothing some glue and screws couldn't fix! :D

You could also argue that cardboard isn't the right material to build shelves and tables from. Yet Ikea makes them and - at least in my experience - they're pretty stable and good-looking. So why not make a cabin from firewood? :-P

You could also just duplicate the lines. Have the maintainable content in lines 1-3 and add additional lines in lines 5, 10 and 15 which refer to the others via formula (or vice versa If you prefer to edit 5/10/15). To avoid that you change the wrong lines by mistake, you can protect the cells with sheet protection.

Are all belts on the printer tightened properly? Did you print via Octoprint? Sometimes this may happen if there's a short network / WiFi issue. Can also happen with some brands of SD cards. So if you have another one available that might be worth a try.

And can't you save your print by simply grinding off the superfluous filament? If parts are missing you might also add some glue or putty to fill the gaps. If visual appearance is important for your part you could also apply some spray paint or acrylic paint.
