  • Why are people so rude on Reddit compared to the Fediverse?

    Jump

  • I'm not sure why people are so intent on excusing reddit with "oh people are just inherently mean" or "it's because there's a large userbase"..

    No it's because most of the "people" on reddit are bots lol, it's the same as all the big platforms. It's just a fuckload of bots trying to make people as angry at each other as possible, because that drives more engagement and politically benefits the people running the bots and who own the platforms.(and part of it is just that more """"users"""" means you can brag to advertisers and get more money).

    People who aren't angry and aren't made to think everyone is a miserable shithead might do horrifying things like "become friends" and "help each other".Or truly horrifyingly they might talk to each other and be convinced that rich people kinda suck actually, and we should do something about that, like stop using platforms owned by rich people.

  • the big thing about lemmy is that it's actually possible to have communities with proper moderation, where the mods nuke shitheads from orbit and aren't sent to the shadow realm for banning nazis

    We just have to, y'now, actually do that, which is the hard part.

  • frankly at this point i just assume that anyone who is really obviously being stupidly aggressive isn't a real person, it's probably just a bot meant to push people apart.

  • fwiw i would not assume those are real complaints, it's wholly possible that those are just bots trying to polarize people.

  • anyone with a yard should be tilling the soil and planting stuff, it's a nice hobby that gives you some fun things to eat, and if (well, kinda feels like when..) international trade goes to shit we'll have people who can keep us fed.

  • Teaching my daughter about genres of music makes me feel old and realize that to me, music has peaked.

  • i do think the sheer volume of complete dogshit that comes out these days (especially now with AI) makes it extremely hard to find the good stuff, though. Like are you gonna trawl through 5 billion songs to find 1000 ones that blow your mind?

    You basically have to rely on software recommendations at this point. What i'd like to see is a software where you just input the stuff you like and it helps you sift through it all by showing similar things and what others with your tastes enjoyed.

  • gambling is still fundamentally bad because the very concept is predatory and harmful

  • Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash

  • funny, people said this exact same thing when LLMs were still brand new

    Also speaking of RAM, do you know why it's gotten absurdly expensive all of a sudden?

  • Like i just wrote in a comment on the github discussion: What worries me about this isn't really the AI usage, it's the fact that strycore's response to the backlash was hostile and to hide its usage.That is to me an immediate disqualification from ever having your code trusted at all, and puts what was written before into question as well.

    The only good solution i see to this is them stepping down and someone else taking over, ideally several people.

  • i get semantic whitespace in python, it makes it less scary for beginners and i personally find it objectively easier to read.

    But for config files (which afaik is the whole point of yaml) the parens don't even get in the way, they're actively helpful to find where a section of the config starts and ends! aurgh

  • Procrastinated so much that I forgot to check if a new Godot version came out

  • Idk, i think it's much more effective to spriongle the dinglang with a sminkinant, of course you'll want to use excelsior to provision the brumgle for maximum convenience.

  • I don't think it works that way..

  • relatedly, i'm laughing at people here in sweden complaining about rising gas prices that are still nowhere near what they were just a few years ago
