    Topless... really?

    Jump

  • It shouldn’t be weird. But since it has been weird in the past, it now has to be weird for a little longer to stop being weird in the future.

    Treat it something normal and destigmatized and it will soon become that.

    How many people do you usually have in your bed?

  • I stepped off the plane and into a Wes Anderson set

    Jump

  • You weren’t lying :)Is there an /AccidentalWesAnderson somewhere within the Fediverse?

  • "Block The Rich" is like an ad-blocker, but for obscenely wealthy people with overinflated egos.

    Jump

  • I think that expanding it to allow for custom blocking patterns will make it more appealing in general. Like being able to add your rich_person_of_choice to the list or the ability to block a company (Meta anyone?) might both be useful features.

    Not sure if it fits your plans though or how hard it’s going to be to implement.

  • Man Found Guilty of Child Porn, Because He Ran a Tor Exit Node (The Story of William Weber) - LowEndBox

    Jump

  • Btw, what’s the current judicial status of exit nodes around the world? Why was he charged, yet the isp wasn’t? Would the isp be charged if it ran a similar exit node, or is it strictly because it was a private entity?

  • How do the demographics of Lemmy differ from those of Reddit?

    Jump

  • None of which is surprising really (I’m referring to everything mentioned here, from age to tech-mindedness and left-leaning views). It takes at least some technical knowledge and somewhat noticeable preference for FOSS-like stuff to bother with joining alternative platforms.

    Not saying it’s not easy, kbin is pretty much identical to other social media in terms of sign-up simplicity. But you have to actively want it to pursue it. And a lot of people don’t want to get into that, since media outlets and even random users have been whining about how hard it is to wrap your head around fediverse.

    I’d guess we’ll see more activity going forward. The general sentiment takes some time to catch up.

  • On Coining a New Term

    Jump

  • That’s an oddly poetic way to shit on Threads :)

  • Reddit Refugee here venting

    Jump

  • It’s too big to actually die. Like, even Digg is still somewhat around.

    But my guess is I’ll continue to enshittify itself as time passes and will probably exist for quite some time as a husk of its former self. It’ll still have a lot of users, but it will lack a lot of content and the sense of community it once had.

  • Twitter To Rebrand As X

    Jump

  • I saw this article posted in another thread and it seems to explain a lot. Not sure how close it is to reality, but it looks like nostalgia is at least a partial reason for this change.

    Yep. Fucking nostalgia.

    Elon Musk Wants to Relive His Start-Up Days. He’s Repeating the Same Mistakes.

    Jump

  • Very interesting read. This article probably has the most sense out of everything I read about him in the news since he bought twitter. Not sure how close it is to the actual motivation behind all that’s happened, but if it is, it explains a lot.

    Elon Musk says Twitter logo to change, birds to be gradually abandoned

    Jump

  • Exactly! “I won’t allow for redeeming qualities on my platform!”

  • Pentagon AI more ethical than adversaries’ because of ‘Judeo-Christian society,’ USAF general says

    Jump

  • Please don’t tell me that Pentagon’s AI is trained on stuff that promotes religious morals and beliefs. Christian AI is how you get closer to evil apocalyptic AI overlords :)

  • Unilever will let Russia employees be conscripted

    Jump

  • Wow, that’s weird. A huge brand library, yet apparently I only ever used just one brand from that list, Persil, and it’s not even operated primarily by them. Good to know :)

    Twitter’s rebrand to X may actually be happening soon

    Jump

  • Xit. Pronounced as in Xi Jinping.

  • What have you found to be an effective way to tell if you're chatting with a bot or a real person?

    Jump

  • Haha, didn’t make that connection. Damn, I even played portal and I don’t remember this joke)

  • What have you found to be an effective way to tell if you're chatting with a bot or a real person?

    Jump

  • You’re probably joking, but I’ll comment anyway. It won’t affect LLMs at all. ChatGPT just answers the question and discusses the paradox. LLM’s function is basically just to construct sentences, so there’s nothing really that can potentially infinitely loop. It doesn’t “think” about paradoxes.

  • On Coining a New Term

    Jump

  • Which makes me wonder why Meta chose this name. Especially since Threads isn’t really focused on actual threads.

  • I mean, they’ve been using the first one in the middle row for a while now for their media relations communications. Albeit from a different angle. They should probably go with that.

  • Thank you Steve Huffman for curing my reddit addiction!
