Give him extra time to make up for how long the early ban was? Or maybe give him an extra 24h as a courtesy? I dunno, lol

I didn’t say it wasn’t valid, I just said it’s disrespectful. Generally, it is. While you’re ok with it, not everyone who’s fat is ok with it.

This is the first time I’ve heard “timezones aren’t fair”!

If those extra 15 hours matter, you could always move to New Zealand. Otherwise, it’s “safest” to play by the rules and wait until midnight. Or just wait until the next day. Playing exciting games after midnight can be bad for your health (assuming you’re not on a nocturnal schedule)!

It’s disrespectful to refer to someone as “the fat guy” too, perhaps moreso.

I’m not sure exactly what you said, but if it was “a small, thin woman that was either born in an East Asian country or has East Asian parents”, then that’s pretty weird.

It may have also been unnecessary to describe the person at all. It depends on the context.

Search has been becoming smarter for years (decades?) by now.

The problem is that search has been made to work with the “you know what I mean” factor… fixing spelling mistakes, considering different tenses or forms of words, including related words…

Search became more friendly to the average non-technical user, but it became harder for users who know/knew how to search for exactly what they want.

Other factors include…

• Search Engine Optimization (SEO) where websites try to appear for as many searches as possible, occasionally regardless of relevance
• Monetization of search, where people with SEO and a lot of money pay to be included in as many “relevant” searches as possible
• AI incorporated into search by trying to find additional relevant pages
• Search engines being reluctant to return zero (or few) results and padding the results with other things you “might be interested in”
• Also, search trying to use what you “might be interested in” based on what they know about you/your account/your IP address/your location based on your IP range.

Yes, I think we’re in agreement here. This is exactly what I’m saying

When software developers are using AI to assist them, that’s different than someone vibe coding something. It didn’t sound like that commenter was promoting vibe coding.

Hah. Leetcode becomes more popular among the employed. Software developers have AI agents run some big tasks while they get some Leetcode time in. Lol

I took a course for fun that ended up being a requirement for the program I ended up doing my Bachelor’s in. It wasn’t a requirement at my original choice of school, but it was in the one I ended up going to.

I put on childhood Christmas movies while wrapping Christmas presents, lol

I replaced Reddit scrolling with Lemmy scrolling. There isn’t as much content here, so I did add reading to the mix.

This also reduced the amount of time I spent writing comments on social media. That’s a great win, imo!

X = “to”?

Whenever I get a 3-day weekend, it feels like that’s how a normal weekend should be.

When I get a 4-day weekend, it feels luxurious.

Those 4-day work weeks are nearly as productive as the 5-day work weeks. Those 3-day work weeks are tight. But I could make it work if I really had to! Lmao

I feel like I could be running a locally-hosted LLM powered by renewable energy trained on open-source datasets and I’d still get angry comments from someone active in c/piracy

Where’s “here”?

Lemmy doesn’t have centralized moderation or administration. You’d have to bring it up with the admins (or mods, if applicable) of the server that it’s hosted on.

Otherwise, your only recourse is to inquire with the admins of your server (lemmy.world) to see if they’re interested in defederating from that instance due to the kinds of communities they have.

Isn’t making things themselves what restaurants are supposed to be doing? Not always, but a good restaurant would, at least.

It’s interesting. When speaking locally (at least in Canada and I’d wager the US as well), “not being interested in politics” is probably equally likely to mean:

• I have unpopular political opinions
• I don’t want to find out if you have unpopular political opinions

But yeah, when speaking with those from other countries, I can definitely see it meaning "I support what my country is doing that’s in opposition to your country.

I hadn’t realised how that differing context makes it so much more obviously one way.

Were you alive at all in the 00s?

They took your use of “everyone” personally, I think

Now I’m genuinely confused what made it homemade…haha
