I think Reddit is just publicly acknowledging the quiet part (and simultaneously saving money by firing their humans):

Virtually no matter what Reddit does, most people don’t care because they’re too lazy to switch to alternatives.

What happened in the aftermath of the /r/art debacle? People made some memes and continued to use Reddit.

Yes, that is what it claims.

True, forgot all about the tenure system, which I barely understand beyond the memes as it is.

Still, earlier discussion holds; outrage that they didn’t fire him yet makes zero sense.

Now, as Devil’s Advocate arguing against you and me, Harvard could choose to drop him at the mere hint of an accusation. You don’t have a right to a job and not getting fired without proven cause in any state but I want to say Montana? The rest are “Right to Work.”

Back on Team “Give them a second for crying out loud,” we’re talking about Harvard, allegedly one of the best colleges in the world. We can expect them to do right by probably investigating this properly, and we’d hope any employer we’d ever work for would bother to take more than a femtosecond to figure out if there’s evidence supporting an accusation against us.

Obviously a lot of countries do have Big R “Rights” as far as labor goes, but the US is not one of them.

Turns out it’s not a Cloudflare issue, but a lemmy.world admin issue:

VPNs usually add IPs all the time.

That’s not usually how it works.

It is apparently how it works for lemmy.world, as of at least this post from two years ago:

https://lemmy.world/post/11967676

To those who didn’t click onward, the answer in that post is apparently 2 years (by implication of its post date)

Ironically it also invalidates the top comment in this thread claiming they aren’t concerned with VPNs, just specific VPN IPs that have been abused in the past.

Hot take because Line Must Go Up is being blamed on "For the Shareholders!" lately, but:

It’s not just publicly traded companies. Private companies have greedy C-suites too.

At a guess, such cooperation would undermine Lenovo’s profit margin and would thus be a non-starter for them.

Enter government regulation, to pinch corporations by the ear and drag them to doing what’s right for society.

Apologies - didn’t realize I was talking to someone who has bouts of nihilism mixed in with their political activism like rocks in a salad.

Enjoy the block!

Yeah, Invidious went down due to YouTube breaking their API yesterday and apparently they’re still working to get it back up.

You can either plug that ?v= code into your YouTube, plug it into another YouTube alternative, or patiently wait until Invidious comes back up.

Something I’ve noticed is that people seem to think it counts for “googling” something, to rely on the LLM summary in a Google search.

The handful of times I’ve called someone out they’ve pitched a fit for me pointing it out as if there’s no difference.

True, but your implication that I’m not doing enough while I’m sitting here complaining is just as well-served to the mirror.

I just have a thing for people who look down their nose at others

Speaking of making assumptions…

How is that an assumption? You were looking down on Redditors for having less sex than Lemmings, were you not? Or was that a different /u/Almacca?

defended [sic] by me telling you off for being dumb

Are you asserting I made a grammatical error? By all means, point it out. Don’t be coy.

Haha [sic]. Sure [sic].

I mean, we’re equally affected if you want to play that game. You’ve replied to every one of my comments.

Honestly I don’t know why I didn’t block you sooner. It’s clear you take pleasure in shitting on and getting a rise out of people. Bye, Felicia!

I just have a thing for people who look down their nose at others, especially if the target is objectively higher up on the matter in question.

You can guffaw at your own assumptions about me based on who’s defended by me telling you off for being dumb if you want. Doesn’t really affect me and it appears to make your day better. At least that way you never have to work on self-improvement!

Administrative Leave starts when a formal investigation begins. You’re basically calling for Chapter 10 of a book to be over when Chapter 1 barely started.

In other words, your question amounts to:

“An investigation started? Shouldn’t it be over before it began?”

No, that’s not how investigations work.

I’m not aware of any definition of “less dangerous” that involves the more dangerous job having less deaths and injuries than the less dangerous job.

I personally think “likelihood of being attacked” and “ability to defend themselves” should also be included in the definition we’re working with. Like if Person A is attacked 5 times a day and defends against them without injury 4/5 times, but Person B is attacked 3 times a day and is not trained or equipped to defend themselves so they’re hurt 3 times a day, which person is in the more “dangerous” position?

Want to slow your roll and figure out if you’re talking to the same person before going off?

Fair enough, I didn’t (and routinely don’t) check usernames before responding. Sounds exhausting. Pedantry accepted though; feel free to redact the part of that comment that involves my asking if you realized you were wrong and replace it with something about you realizing they were wrong. Better? You ready to respond to my pointing out that you’re doing a Red Herring now, or is there some other pedantic thing you want to focus on to distract from the broad strokes of you screwing up?

Not at all. If your argument is that cops should get to have guns and shoot people because their job is dangerous, so should pizza delivery drivers, who are more likely to get assaulted than cops.

Yep, I also believe delivery drivers should be allowed to carry a gun. Same with taxi cab drivers and other people who are more likely to be (successfully) attacked and hurt or killed than cops are.

See how using a straw-man argument can make for an awkward situation where you fleshing out your attack into a(n implied) question about their real position can make you look like a fool?

If I remember correctly the first time I looked at the marketing materials when I went to their official website and they advertised it to me as an alternative for the free version I was trying, they basically offer(ed) a few features I didn’t care about:

1. The very latest model, i.e. this week instead of this year

2. Saving your conversations and using that to tailor the LLM to you

The first was not worth $10/month or whatever it was, and the second was something I actively did not want.

I have a sneaking suspicion that people value the service for its ability to mimic professional human writing, which they are otherwise incapable of, and they don’t really care that it’s not very accurate.

But it’s hard for people to admit, “Yes, I’m an adult who writes at a 3rd grade level,” so they pretend it’s useful for other reasons.

Cops have a less dangerous job than pizza delivery. Yes, per capita. And COVID or a cop’s own bad driving is more likely to kill them than someone with a gun.

Depending on your definition of “less dangerous,” yeah. Doesn’t really refute my argument, though. Did you want to divert the discussion with that Red Herring because you realized you were wrong or did you just want to talk about something else today and didn’t realize that’s outside the scope of this discussion?

If you wouldn’t accept a pizza delivery kid blowing someone away because they reached into their pocket, you shouldn’t accept it from a cop.

Straw-man.
