  • About Digi, here in Portugal it’s a bit iffy. Sometimes calls don’t arrive, mobile data doesn’t work in the subway, along with some other nitpicks, but it’s definitely gotten better since I started using it. I get unlimited data for fairly cheap which is cool.

    It’s not like I need to be connected to the internet at all times, so my biggest peeve is definitely the fact that for some ungodly reason whenever I stop getting mobile data I need to fully reboot my phone to get it back again. Turning mobile data on and off, or setting airplane mode on and off doesn’t work for some reason.

    But something to take into account is that (and this is purely anecdotal) coincidentally the moment I started using digi, I started getting spam calls en masse, specifically from Iberdrola. Most of the time once a day, but at some point it reached multiple times a day. I never answered, but would search the number online and see that it was spam. Though it could very much have been a coincidence, it still makes digi feel a bit sus to me. Rarely do I ever use it without a vpn.

    sudo rm -rf ./ and sudo rm -rf . are, as far as I know, the same command. Did you mean that you dropped the . and ran sudo rm -rf /?

    Fortunately for me, this never happened to me, but I have gotten pretty close to running rm -rf ~ after mistakenly creating a directory caller ~





  • I believe it’s AI slop. I checked until 2012 and unless I missed something, there isn’t a single year where the list goes “France, Turkey, Canada, Indonesia.” In proper AI fashion, it looks correct at first glance but the further you go the worse it tends to get. The information could be from another source, but the hammer in china tells me otherwise.



  • I think you should still be annoyed. By riding slowly in the fast lane, you are not encouraging people to ride more slowly; you are encouraging them to zip around the lanes which is extremely dangerous too. Further, many people might see a need to compensate for whatever speed they lost and accelerate even more. I would say that it is definitely not a good thing to do, not to mention that I don’t think that it is even legal in my country



  • This article gives me vibes that someone wrote a few lines outlining the situation and asked the AI to write the article itself. Interestingly though, I think most people would just rather read the outline, less time wasted and less llm.

    A part that screams AI would be:

    This wasn’t subtle venue security—your biometric data became part of the artistic statement, whether you consented or not.

    “This isn’t this–it’s that” is an extremely common AI sentence structure, further exposed by the fact that the part before the em-dash doesn’t even make sense to begin with. No one was asking themselves whether it was part of subtle venue security.

    As a sidenote, sometimes I read sentences like this and I wonder “could this ever even have been written by a human?” I think that there’s a very low chance that this article didn’t have at least some amount of AI involved, but I know that somewhere out there there must be some people who actually write like this. And that’s kind of sad.

    tbh I don’t even know why I even wrote this, the entire article appears to be one big example of generic AI writing


  • Resume: Either get married and be made to watch on a man’s phone Either don’t get married

    The meaning of either or

    used to refer to a situation in which there is a choice between two different plans of action, but both together are not possible

    Thus, if you want to truly feel that pedanticness, getting married or not getting married is, by definition, an either-or situation, since you can’t be married and not married at the same time.

    Questionable though my reasoning my be taking the context into account, get outpedantic-ed!




  • In my comment I said:

    I could understand this comment in the context of the app

    And the whole reason why I commented was because I’d misunderstood your comment. I’d thought it was separate from the post itself, since you hadn’t made it clear that the purpose of your comment was to say something like: “So despite the consequences it might have to the men featured in the app, it should still exist due to the benefit that it would bring to women”. Without that, to me, it really just looked like you’d read the stories from the men and thought “women have it worse”.

    Since I’m now inside the discussion, I’m gonna give you my two cents.

    I think that most people here weren’t really mad at the app due to its purpose. They were mad because it’s far from a perfect solution. Regardless of how much protection the app has, at these issues will exist:

    • Leaks can happen
    • Women can lie
    • Men can infiltrate the app

    Not to mention that, in this case, the creator was a man and the information protection was laughably bad.

    In the future, apps like this one might become a must for women’s self-protection, but that doesn’t mean that the app’s issues will just cease existing. Pointing them out along with personal experiences to back them up, and then weighing in the pros and cons is always going to be very important.

    Might’ve made myself a bit unclear, here’s a tl;dr

    I thought you’d meant

    This bad situation happened to me

    Women have it worse

    But what I’ve realized what you’d meant is

    This bad situation happened to me

    But that doesn’t mean that the app shouldn’t exist

    And to finish, sorry that that happened to you. I hope you and the people you talked about stay safe.


  • I don’t want you to take me badly, but to me this comment sounded really demeaning. Obviously women have it way worse than men, but you see a comment with a men venting about their personal experiences and the first thing that comes to mind is “women have it worse”?

    I could understand this comment in the context of the app, and how people are making fun of it when its purpose is to try to solve such a common and awful problem in dating–but in the context of the comments of men venting here, it really just sounds like you’re invalidating their experiences just because they’re not women.
