I say no. It's like if I give a vampire permission to enter my neighbor's house - that won't work.

The only difference between me and a judge is legal authority. Why should vampire magic care about the laws of man?

Oh. Guess I'll stop watching then. Thanks also.

Thanks. I doubt that'll ever be an issue for us so it looks like it'll be business as usual.

I haven't followed the Netflix password news all that closely because I barely ever use Netflix - but when I do use it it's through password sharing an account my sister pays for. That worked as recently as just a week ago.

Should I expect that to stop working soon?

I never once used an app for reddit - the few times I did access it from my phone I'd do so through Firefox, with "Use Desktop Site" enabled.

I did bookmark wefwef / now Voyager for Lemmy, and I use it when I use Lemmy on my phone (I like that it doesn't need to be installed) - but I do that so infrequently it's basically a rounding error.

Browser basically 100% of the time.

The best I can say is that I was MSN Instant Messenger buddies with someone who now has 2.4 million Twitch followers, before they started streaming.

Which is to say, I've never met a famous person.

Any insect that touches my skin realizes the error of its ways and peacefully leaves me alone.

Interesting article that goes into some specific detail on what things AI detectors look out for.

Interestingly, after reading the article I was able to get ChatGPT to write an essay that both GPTZero and ChatGPT classified as human-written just by asking it to write with "very high perplexity" (and then with "more perplexity" after the first one failed to pass the test).

I'd put a lot of thought into how to convince my parents of what happened, and to keep it between us. Give them a few dozen stock tips. I don't think it would be too hard to convince them, even if my knowledge of current events from when I was 6 is lacking. Not to brag, but I know a whole lot more than a typical 6 year old does.

I'd give school a shot but if I wasn't into it then I'd swap to "homeschooling". My assumption here is that my knowledge and memories remain but my reasoning skills and maturity drop to that of a 6 year old? I dunno, a lot of school depends on what happens brain-wise.

I think my biggest priority after sorting out my own family's life would be figuring out how to prevent 9/11. I'd have five years to plan and two soon-to-be vastly wealthy parents, so who knows what I could come up with?

I think it's likely that everyone I know who was conceived after I was 6, plus everyone pretty much globally who was conceived after 9/11, would simply never exist - and different people would exist instead. That'd be pretty messed up and in a few cases personally upsetting. I don't think I'd be able to make and maintain the same friendships with that kind of foreknowledge either - it'd be very unnatural and I'd probably come off as creepy or overeager when I first met the people I knew I'd get closest to, sabotaging the whole thing.

If the 9/11 thing works out then most of my future knowledge is significantly less useful but I'd still probably be able to continue making bank for a while, with the bonus of doing so in a hopefully much better world - since 9/11 still feels like the pivot point that sent the US down a much worse path.

I can't tell if you're being optimistic or pessimistic 😃

Gonna go with Firefox as both my most-used piece of open-source software, and the software I see as most important to its ecosystem. If Firefox fails then we've just got Chromium-based browsers and, I guess, Safari.

Thanks. Longer-term it might be nice to see links to both communities and posts get auto-replaced with instance-agnostic versions - with some sort of escape to skip that behavior. I've already seen a bot going around detecting when instances are improperly linked.

That's just gonna be at the mercy of how many communities you've subbed to and how many of them are active, then.

On my own "Subscribed" and "Hot" page I do get two posts that are over a year old, but most are still less than a few hours old.

My preferred strategy is to always browse All, and just block communities that I consistently dislike - once you've done enough blocking it becomes pretty great.

I do both "Hot" and "All" - are you on Local or Subscribed maybe?

My current front page's oldest post is 2 hour old - almost everything else is < 60 minutes old right now

It's not as good, but it's still a lot better than I expected it to be before I joined. Once it has 5-10x the current userbase I think it'll be just as good.

One of my favorite things on reddit was being able to click on an interesting post, then just read dozens and dozens of other peoples' comments. I find that like 70% of the posts I find interesting here have like 0-3 comments.

There are some growing pains too - for example, I wrote this reply up, then upvoted you, and upvoting you deleted my message so I had to retype it.

Echoing the other comments: Sorting your front page by "Active" tends to do that. I like sorting by "Hot" the most. You can change the default sorting on your settings page.

My addiction is reddit-style content aggregators. My current drug of choice is Lemmy.

I could very easily quit if I were going back to reddit. And I quit reddit much easier than I thought I would with Lemmy to take its place.

But I would not easily be able to quit both without replacement.

Is it glorious?

A much smaller bezel. It's so big on my original Switch, and the screen could be so much larger and prettier if it went nearly to the edges, without making the console larger at all.
