Why compare us to reddit? We feel like Reddit but from a hosting and admin perspective it's a whole different ballgame. Mods of reddit at worst run the risk of their communities being taken down for a bit if they let content slip through. Here on Lemmy us admins are legally liable for content that is posted. We don't have a large limited liability corporation that will take the hit for us. We need these tools, or we are the ones that will have boots through doors.

A built in auto mod is the largest thing. A way to say that this common pattern is spam and to block it system wide, right now we just don't have that. A nice to have stretch goal would be to use some model to fight actual gore or csam material, which just doesn't exist. A moderation dashboard would be great to see users with their comment history, vote trends, high level to see if a person just had an off comment that might be taken the wrong way, or if there is a trend of trolling behavior

These have been opened on the GitHub and either sit open forever or are just closed.

Made by and for douchebags. Honestly if they actually wanted to make a little truck that was an EV I would have been all over it. Just something small to haul some dirt or lumber for home projects. I don't want a giant f150, I want some danger ranger size or smaller for light projects. I think that could have been very popular.

You'll be surprised a couple of weeks after leaving algorithmic content behind. It's not immediate, it quite literally is a drug, a dopamine addiction. At first you'll feel withdrawals, the need to check it. If you can make it over that though, you'll realize how anxious you've been, how overwhelmed you were. It's honestly a freeing feeling.

Exactly. Same with Meta platforms. You're not fighting with a concept or an idea, this is their entire personality. They don't care how horrid the viewpoint is, they're just happy to be better than something. There's a reason that it's usually the poorest and lowest of our society, it's because they want to feel better than people when they deep down know they're not. It's why it's so hateful. It's why they get joy even when it hurts themselves. They're winning at something.

I think back to the maps that the sites released. The weirdest stuff was always consumed by the reddest areas. Look at the biggest areas where Step anything content is accessed. It's overwhelmingly red.

There's a plugin for SteamOS that does this, I'm on Bazzite and it works very well.

And they wanted it that way. They were like well that's what it's really like! Which like yeah great, but that's terribly boring for a game.

Another game like that was Mass Effect 1, where they had the undiscovered worlds, but even those were more entertaining. They gave you a mako, and each planet had at least one faction with at least some backstory to it so it wasn't a complete waste. Starfield is like, nothing. I encounter the exact same building structure and camps multiple times on my single playthrough. Absolutely uninspired

God how did they fuck that up? Who thought I'd want to fast travel there? Sure sometimes, but honestly I'd love it if it showed how many minutes to destination and then you started jumping.

You're in the pilots chair, you see 10 minutes to the other side of the galaxy where your mission is. You hesitate because that's far, but 2 minutes away is your home base anyway so might as well swing through and drop off some stuff, make sure the pumps and extractors are working. 6 minutes past that is that side quest you've been putting off, I guess we can do that too. You hit the jump button, stars whizz past. You go talk with your crew, get caught up on conversations. You jump back in the chair when the 20 second warning goes off. You jump out and arrive, but there is a weird signal on a nearby planet in this system...

Now THAT's the game i wanted. Altering one mechanic right there completely changes the entire style of the game. I will forever be annoyed that everything in the game is instant fast travel. Sure have a button there to skip if people want to, but personally I prefer to lay back and fully immerse myself

It was incredibly mid. For something Bethesda hyped for over half a decade they sure made a bland game. Throwing aside all of the incredibly dated gameplay, you hit the nail on the head. It was boring

You can tell every faction was decided by a corporate committee inside Bethesda and Microsoft. They couldn't be too risky, couldn't come close to possibly offending one person or risk having slightly fewer gamers. That results in a boring as hell game. Everyone was too goddamn nice in the game. No one ever got mad at you. You could punch someone in the face and the response would be "hey, that's not nice" and then they would continue on. Hold on there don't want to possibly scare off a potential customer by having a realistic situation there.

Ah life path number 3 combo for the Midwest woman. Become a nurse and have children.

Personally I'm bias, I saw four (women) friends either drop out of college, or get pregnant early, or one was convinced to give up her career by her future husband, all to drop in the fallback of nursing and then each have like 3 kids. They all live within 20 miles of where they were born and none of them followed through with the dreams they had. So I see this and my heart sinks remembering that, and wondering about them

Just fork it immediately

Yeah it was all manufactured. They caused people to rage and defend video games, while also dropping her into the middle of a parody and highly satirized version of LA with no context. It was all just for clicks

They sure it wasn't los Santos?

Note I didn't defend anything. Simply asking where the line was. If the line is consent then, does that mean the AI should be banned? What about Photoshop? What about stick figures of people with boobs? How far should we go to make sure it never happens? Should doors be burst down and office drawers be searched? Will you decide?

Why should it stop at physical representations? What about romance novels that are inspired by real people? Movies? How lewd is to the point of policing these actions? Is simple inspiration okay, at what likeness does an actor have to match them?

People have been making face swap porn since mspaint came out. I'm sure in the future we'll have the Futurama Napster scenario fully actualized. My main question remains, where is the line in the sand? Is it here? Is it now? Why wasn't it 20 years ago? Or 50 years ago with Elmer's glue and magazines? Or is it in the future?

Nuance. It's not a yes or no thing, and again I'm not defending anyone, all I'm saying is AI is Pandora's box and it's been flung open - but it's only amplifying what was already there.

Is drawing someone on paper nude okay? What if it's hyper realistic? What if it's just a stick figure with giant breasts added? Is using Photoshop to enhance it okay? All of these things are things we do.

It's much more nuanced than it seems. Where is the societal line of what's okay and what isn't?

That would just mean two people were getting fired that day.

I'm sorry you dealt with that, an I'm very familiar with it. You're absolutely right, to management you are nothing more than a drone. It doesn't matter how important you are to the company, what level you are, once they have decided you're out it's over. There is no amount of fighting, rallying, or anything you can do. They will find a way to oust you.

Same applies if you're in an HR thing, a legal thing, just got on someone's bad side. Even if you win, they'll just fabricate a reason to get rid of you with just enough data to justify it in court. As soon as you catch wind, start looking for your next place

Personally I think everyone is wrong here, but none of it in a mean or jerky way, just in perspective .

For your parents, it's definitely a different vibe now, we need to be more socially conscious about walking up to a woman, we should understand that that is inherently a dangerous place for a woman and she is likely on her guard.

That being said, you shouldn't be afraid to speak to women either, that is likely just as bad. Women are just people, they have like and dislikes, and you should talk to them the same way you would anyone.

So, I guess what I'm saying is that the days of pickup lines and sauntering over are gone. But there's absolutely nothing wrong striking up a conversation either, and in fact I encourage it. Notice things, maybe they're wearing a band T-shirt of a band you like, maybe they have a cool sticker on their phone or laptop, show interest. Don't be afraid of them.
