Very true, but due to its size, it doesn’t really make sense to focus on it.

So like the black mirror episode Common People

One might even say “unrestricted”

Praise Kier Klear!

Agreed. I hope it doesn’t become so popular that it turns to shit.

It’s way worse than that.

Even if you somehow magically have the same settings as everyone else, you’re mouse movement will still be unique.

You can even render something on a canvas out of view and depending on your GPU, your graphics driver, etc the text will look different…

There is no real way to escape fingerprinting.

That’s still half the US population though.

It’s no wonder when every other comment on Reddit is an obvious bot. Either the bots here are less obvious or they’re not here yet.

Here are a few examples of what I’ve seen them do in the time I’ve been alive.

• Lowering the amount of educated people by various means such as cutting (on not properly increasing) funding, restricting access to it,…
• Limiting access to (somewhat) correct information by buying up news media outlets, severely influencing social media, telling people that their “alternative media” is the only way to get correct information, and so much more
• Actively pitting groups of people against each other, black vs white, immigrants vs citizens, women vs men,…

As long as people have something to entertain themselves and something to eat, nothing will change. Even the Ancient Romans knew that: “Two things only the people anxiously desire — bread and circuses.”.

It definitely affected me. In retrospect I’m glad I bought a different EV.

As opposed to other social media platforms like reddit where you can only have one, right? 😜

You build a thousand bridges, but you suck one…

You’re on to something. Boats have steering wheels and they can indeed move.

That’s an interesting observation! It’s definitely plausible that some people might enjoy pretending to be LLMs (large language models) for fun or as a social experiment. The lines between human and AI-generated text are getting blurrier, especially as LLMs improve. Some folks might see it as a challenge to mimic the “voice” of an AI, whether to test their own skills, engage in satire, or even to highlight the current state of AI and its limitations.

On the flip side, encountering an LLM pretending to be a person raises questions about authenticity and the ethics of AI in communication. It brings up important discussions about transparency, trust, and how we interact with digital personas.

Both scenarios—humans mimicking AI and AI mimicking humans—illustrate the fascinating, sometimes confusing, state of our current tech landscape. The key takeaway might be that whether you’re interacting with a person or an AI, it’s always good to be mindful and critical of the content you’re engaging with.

To be fair, nerds will tell their tech-illiterate friends about this change and probably influence them enough to consider it. Especially when it’s something as easy as downloading an application.

It’s much easier to switch a browser then it is to stop using Google, Facebook, etc.

The problem isn’t that there are no libraries out there that parse Markdown. There are, in fact, plenty for all different languages. The issue is that every site has its own flavor of it. Lemmy does it one way, GitHub another, and something else does it completely differently yet again.

It is, unfortunately, kind of a mess.

I feel like a big hurdle is the way you have to type out cross posts. There was just something elegant about Reddits solution: /r/subreddit.

As another older gamer I have bought every single switch first party game to display them on my shelves. I also have them all on my PC as roms so I can enjoy them with high fidelity and stable 60 FPS.

I will neither buy another one of their games nor their next console and I also downloaded each and every rom I could find out of spite. I hope their next console crashes and burns like the Wii U…

Do you have a source? I watch the channel quite a bit and haven’t heard about the controversy at all.
