lemmy.ee is known for not defederating unless absolutely necessary.

It’s “lemm.ee” btw. I’m guessing autocorrect? Gboard ironically made the exact same mistake for me when I tried to correct you.

I don’t think anyone expects them all to switch. It’s literally just advertising, and it’ll probably convince at least a few people to switch.

The migration was rough on lemmy? There were some growing pains for sure, but personally I was actually surprised how well the major instances handled the massive influx.

I did not check their post history. I simply read the post and concluded if this is the point OP starts…

This is incredibly presumptuous reasoning in any context. Maybe be a little more careful throwing around accusations of genocide approval, eh, jackass? You don’t know them.

I think that they’re neat, they’re development is fascinating to me, and that they have their utility. But I am sick of executive and marketing types sloppily cramming them into every corner of every service just so they can tell their shareholders that it’s “powered by AI”. So far, I’ll use a page or app dedicated to chatting with the llm, or I’ve also found that GitHub copilot in vscode is pretty nifty sometimes for things like quickly generating docs that I can then just proofread and edit. But in most other applications and websites I don’t use them at all or I’m forced to and the experience is worse. Recently, I’ve been having to work in Microsoft’s power platform a bit for a client (help me). Almost every page in the entire platform has an AI chatbot on the side that’s supposed to do some of the work around you. Don’t use it. It fucks up your shit. Ask it to do something, it will change your flow or whatever you’re working with with the wrong syntax that won’t even compile 9/10 times, with no opportunity to undo, and the remaining 1/10 is logic errors. Ask it questions about the platform, not only will it not know anything, it will literally accuse you of not speaking English.

TL;DR I think they’re neat and useful IF they’re used responsibility and implemented well. Otherwise they are a nuisance excuse to use a buzzword at best or dangerous at worst

Funny how the Internet is a tool to be able to look up the context in only a few minutes.

Can’t talk, too busy vetting the distributors, manufacturers, and suppliers and partners to those distributors and manufacturers of every item and service that I own or otherwise use for reprehensible behavior or views.

Look I get what you’re saying but we’re not omnipotent. I’m sure there’s probably some product that you use that’s tied to a pedo or a racist or something that you’re simply not aware of yet. I’m also not defending Mr beast, frankly I only have the vaguest idea who he is.

Thanks, and yeah that figures

I don’t use tiktok, I’ve never been interested in using tiktok, and if it was just going out of business or something then I would give precisely zero fuckaroos.

But I don’t need the government making the decision to block it for me arbitrarily. I confess that I’m not studied up on the reasoning behind blocking it (I’ve mostly heard about security concerns), but if Congress and the supreme court actually cared about digital security, then they’d be passing a bill of digital rights right now. Instead of doing that, they’re set on going after TikTok specifically, which tells us two things:

• Because they aren’t passing blanket digital privacy rights, it’s likely that TikTok is not the only company committing these privacy violations, but they don’t want to punish the “wrong” company.
• Given the previous point, it follows that they don’t actually care about digital privacy (duh), so the actual reason for banning them is likely something else. Other people in this thread have pointed out that the US government can’t control propaganda on TikTok like they can other social media, but it could also be as simple as clearing the way for American competitors/lobbyists who stand to profit from the ban.

So yeah, like you I don’t use tiktok so I’m not directly affected by the ban, I might’ve even supported it if it was due to an impartial bill of digital rights, but reasoning behind the actual ban is clearly bullshit on principle just by being so specific, and it sets a dangerous precedent. You saying that TikTok is shit so you don’t care if it gets injustly and unconstitutionally banned is no different then saying that George Floyd was a criminal so you don’t care if he was murdered by cops sans-due-process. You’re being distracted, soulifix. Think about it, if the government cared about addressing the issues with TikTok that you brought up in your post, why are they going after TikTok specifically instead of addressing that behavior generally?

Not if you’re singing in scat

I figured there’d be plenty of mentions of Rush’s 2112, but they have a lot of other songs that fit the bill too. The Necromancer, Fountain of Lamneth, Xanadu, Natural Science (well I guess that’s more of a rant than a story), Cygnes X-1 books 1 and 2. Since you say maybe without words, La Villa Strangiato.

If you want to stick to classic prog then Yes has some songs that fit the bill too like America and Harold Land. I confess to not really understanding the lyrics of most of the rest of Yes’s discography, they can be really poetic, but I think the whole Closer to the Edge album fits on it’s musicality alone. The title track’s a freaking journey.

Led Zeppelin has a few of these too, though musically they are a little repetitive. Achilles Last Stand, Battle of Evermore, Gallows Pole.

Stop trying to make “objectively” the new “literally”

edit: nvm, I see you’re just doing some good trolling. gg

Food

Actually though, right after new years is about when my seasonal depression turns back into regular depression

Spite

In n outs fries actually taste like packing material. Probably my least favorite fast food fries. The burger was fine, you know for fast food.

Probably not, it’s a matter of taste. No joke, I think it tastes good and do it all the time

Suck a lemon. Actually that sounds good maybe I’ll go do that

I’m the idiot who ate the entire package of Warheads in one mouthful on a whim, no peer pressure necessary. Can confirm, everything tasted like battery acid and flour for a few days there

You plebs and your pathetic water-displacing stench. I wear the finest kano kroil

What do you mean "you people"?
