  • Oh geeze that one was just looping noise and screaming and you could hear the damn thing from across the entire warehouse. I felt so bad for the folks working there, it wouldn't shut up.

    ...it was also late July or August...

  • I think the implication is that it's also safer, since you're not confronting strangers on their home domain and it's a smaller area full of witnesses lol.

    Although, on the whole, I think the paranoia over trick or treating has been about as productive as the paranoia on tabletop roleplaying games.

  • Do you spend more time on lemmy than you did on reddit?

  • I'm sincerely glad you appreciated it. I worry I ramble a bit too much sometimes! :)

    In some ways Lemmy can still feel like the "Old Internet", for better and worse haha, but there's still people like us that appreciate small moments of genuine connection with people.

    We can be revolutionaries by making those positive connections in the communities we visit. :D

    I hope you're doing okay and have a good one today.

  • I really appreciate you taking the time to say this. Thank you.

    It is a bit sad and scary how the popular first reaction is to silence and attack any possible counterpoints rather than reason, even within a large sphere of general agreement.

    I hope you're doing alright and staying safe out there. Thanks for "remembering the human" as they say. :)

    Do you feel AI is going to be as bad as the movies say?

  • It's calm rational takes like this that help me remain an artist and strive to be a creative despite these tumultuous times. Thanks for the hope boost. ❤️

  • Expertly explained. Thank you! It's pretty rad what you can get out of a quantized model on home hardware, but I still can't understand why people are trying to use it for anything resembling productivity.

    It sounds like the typical tech industry:

    "Look how amazing this is!" (Full power)

    "Uh...uh oh, that's unsustainable. Let's quietly drop it." (Way reduced power)

    "People are saying it's not as good, we can offer them LLM+ plus for better accuracy!" (3/4 power with subscription)

  • This is what I try to tell everybody who wants to do the whole "I can't understand how to use computers" schtick, and it's still often too much to handle.

  • Lol yeah don't worry too much about it.

    Not like this comment was your grand presentation at the International Edible Carrion Science Conference 2025 or something. :p

  • Pigeons are done so dirty it's so sad.

    I mean I also would like if they didn't cover everything in pewp en masse, preferably, but otherwise they're beautiful animals that aren't the "flying rats" people have dubbed them as.

    I think anything will be considered more clean, appealing, and less gross when it isn't being forced to scrounge around a nasty toxic concrete city habitat for scrap sustenance, but what do I know. Lol

  • Reddit definitely used to be! But sadly thanks to reddit, I think we're seeing the damage from a disappearing internet when a lot of people mass-deleted their posts and it affects technical pages.

    How do I fix this really niche technical issue?

    Toasters lollypops groundhogs sport icecube I have scrambled all my reddit posts with a script because reddit sucks and Spez sucks.

    Thanks! That's EXACTLY what I needed! I've been looking everywhere for this solution. Have a gold, internet stranger sir/madame. I hope anybody else who has this issue comes here first so they don't spend as long as I did before I saw your post!

  • By the end of my time there, you could make one unpopular sentence in a post and be hounded for it for DAYS.

    Yeah, for good or ill, I notice threads on Lemmy run their course pretty quickly, and replying on something more than a week old feels increasingly pointless.

    But also hey, not getting dogpiled for too long is also nice lol.

  • I've found myself on the "Let me evaluate this as objectively as possible and still I usually end up pretty left of center" camp, and yet I'm definitely not immune to it.

    I've had a few run-ins, like one where I tried to de-escalate and respectfully critique a thread that was basically (smugly?) a "death to anyone who looks like they might resemble the other team" jihad , and boy, oh boy the hivemind got stirred.

    It's gotten so bad that merely suggesting temperance and moral consideration brands you a filthy both-siding liberal nazi-enabler or something.

    I believe a successful resistance includes restraining unhinged extremists that would stab their fellows in the back for not being extreme enough, but some segments of Lemmy won't hear it.

  • What can I say, I'm also here for the memes. But otherwise...I don't blame you.

    I like knowing what's going on , especially when corpo news sources try to sweep it under the rug, and sometimes comments can be really insightful, but often the discourse is so tribalistically rage-blinded and the line of acceptable extremes keeps getting pushed to frightening degree.

    Even the slightest hint of disagreement with the extent of said extremes, even if you're on the same "side" of an issue, will get you branded and told to face the wall with the rest of the filth....You know, by the types who most loudly proclaim how much they're against fascists .

    (My guess is mostly it's angy isolated teens with anonymity and hair-trigger emotions paired with drooping history grades. And I say this as an idealistic anarchist lol. But it still hurts. Words are words.)

    I was recently downvoted like crazy and attacked quite viciously for merely suggesting that dehumanizing human beings, even enemies, is a dark path. Even the poster I was responding to was like "That's messed up, you were respectfully discussing. People are crazy."

    I'm more careful now.

    It's beginning to remind me of the apocalyptic world of Metro 2033: On one side, Neo-Nazis want to kill you outright. On the other: the Red army wants to conscript comrade you to their frontlines to hurl at their enemies.

    ...and most people are just caught in the middle trying to survive.

    Sorry for the long reply. Let's stay safe, sane, and keep touching grass. Take good care out there. ❤️

  • Lol sorry amigo I think I'm misunderstood here. Or I misunderstood you, or something.

    I'm saying a bunch of the world's shittiest people (like you depicted in the image) pretend to be God's friends, and He would definitely deny that they represent Him in any way.

    I'm 10,000% against the insufferable monsters that currently infest our higher offices, as I'm sure Jesus would be also, no matter how they vainly wave the Bible around, as if they'd actually bothered to ever read it.

    Sorry if I came off combative or anything. I was merely saying they're claiming to be something they're not, to capture the right wing "evangelical demographic" that's become a fascist cult. And it's disgusting.
