It’s very difficult to promote fedi as a whole. You really have to promote specific sites, and there seems to be a lot of resitence to doing so. And even if there wasn’t, it can be difficult to communicate the value to people in the age of the omni-website.

I miss when they were gooey. I got a white chocolate one from the UK this year, and it was kinda gooey. But not what it was like in the 90s.

Well, most of us know how to deal with all of those, and the vast majority of them haven’t been an issue for the average user for, like, decades now. No one’s fucking with compatubility mode post, like, 2004.

Meanwhile, most of the help you get when trying to solve issues on Linux are command line commands that are not explained by the helper and which we have no idea what they actually do.

The fight I had just to get my printer to work. The fight I’m still having to get my audio interface to work consistently.

It’s not an abstraction of search, though. It’s a conditional regurgitation of the entire Internet with randomization. That is significantly and meaningfully different.

It’s not finding text or context matches and reproducing them, it’s guessing the next word based off of the steaming pile of horse shit people have dumped over the Internet in attempts to garner attention or scam others.

It’s like merging multiple communities together against their knowledge, will, or consent, because people are too fucking lazy to use the Subscriber feed.

If only indigenous folks had money! Then you’d probably be defending them.

I regretfully cannot attend, the kid from Air Bud just shit the bed.

No, this is not obvious at all. It just come across as parachuting into a joke post that’s getting attention and rambling about something completely off topic. Like if I spat out 3000 words about the market price of lobster in response to this post.

People can’t hear your thoughts. If you don’t include your priors or your thought triggers in the actual comment, you’re just having a public conversation with yourself, in front of someone else’s audience.

“Iran” is going to bomb polling stations in so many blue counties.

AI is always great at things I don’t know how to do, and right about things I don’t know about, but bad at the things I know how to do (often in ways that are subtle but ultimately catastrophic), and wrong about the things I know about (often in ways that are sneaky or nuanced, but which lead to gross misunderstandings).

Not sure how they managed to tune it to me, *n particular, so precisely, but those geniuses working on it sure do know their stuff!

I think that’s a fairly common sentiment. The severity of symptoms is a significant decider in how disordered someone is, and having clean deliniations makes sure that people with less disordered lives are not taking attenion awwy from the needs of those with more disordered lives.

Oh, I hope this kills them. I’m desperate to never use Confluence or Jira ever again.

It’s more like “since you imported the cars illegally, we’re reposessing them”.

That’s because prices don’t reflect costs, but what sellers believe we will pay. If people stopped paying them…

It’s really not that weird. Most people aren’t going to self-host… anything. A news magazine isn’t going to bother covering it, even if it is focused on tech news.

This is the WHOLE point of why these generative models have been pushed so hard the past couple of years. They tested the waters to see if people would accept “it’s the computer’s fault” as an acceptable excuse, and then slammed on the gas.

Accountability sinks, as Dan Davies has named them, are the whole point. It’s everything a slimy corporate CEO or government official has ever wanted.

Saskatchewan isn’t on DST, though… “Amazing how others have figured this out by doing the opposite of it” is not the winning argument you think it is.

I wish we’s just pick standard time. This whole “let’s let noon be at non noon” thing is bizarre.

Being subscribed to those communities (n a single website.

If people would get the fuck off Reddit and decide it was ok to have multiple websites to log into, it would be harder. Internet centralization is a personal security risk.

Americans? No, not as a rule, though I’m getting increasingly fed up with many of their “I’m one of the good ones” declarations.

The USA, though?

Pax Americana has always been a threat, and the country has always been a fascist bully. The sooner we accept that and treat them accordingly the bettet.

Maybe they’ll actually do something about it, for once.
