Am a lil optimist folk that likes computers :3 Banner by David Revoy (Check his stuff!)

📌 The best internet hobby in current times is to be an archivist (For cencorship reasons)You should archive media NOW!!!

Alright:

  • I speak in arguments, don't act like a troll and i'll consider chatting.
  • Instance wars are always stupid.
  • Fediverse show his interest if you get a bit out of your comfort zone. Stop circlejerking.
  • Don't be chronically online please.

  • Users who don't have a profile picture set, Why?

    Jump

  • On social media where it's only anons from all around the internet, I put a silly picture like here.

    But on social media where my friends or my family are, I won't put my face because hell no, and I won't put something silly either because it's hard enough to look normal.

    I rarely use thoses social media so I'm fine without a profile picture at all.

  • China Deploys Robots to Patrol Border Crossings as 'Embodied AI' Goes Public

    Jump

  • Making a robot "humanoïd" to improve interactions with humans while not giving it a face with emotions is the most confusing take of modern robots for me. Do they want to make it comfortable to speak with or not?

  • Things ChatGPT told a mentally ill man before he murdered his mother

    Jump

  • I mean, catharsis is supposed to purge the negative pulsions of one by doing things in fiction. For video games, movies, books, it always work, except for the 1% who think "whoa, i want to do it IRL".

    It would be relevant here by "chatting things fictionnaly". But half the users doesn't even understand that it doesn't think. That would be like if half the people thought that the game they played really happened. Furthermore, there is almost no regulation on theses once you manage to hijack the chatbot.

    Confusion between fiction and reality is the problem, and it's more present than ever with AI chatbots. Video games are fine.

  • More than 20% of videos shown to new YouTube users are ‘AI slop’, study finds

    Jump

  • Alas, this webring has alot of techbros who does not see the problem in the overuse of genAIs, and even if they kind of pollute the creativity of the web, they are in their right here (it's the biggest webring i have found to it's unfortunately expected).

    I usually avoid those. You might want to check the no AI webring

    here's your starting point on the veritable "web" as in "the cyberspace website megacomplex", not as in "the virtual corporate paradise"

    Okay i did it, now what

  • imagine

  • Well, there are more integers than naturals, yet both share the same cardinality. Also, I thing hilbert's hotel problem shows that rationals and naturals also share the same cartinality, somehow. You could arrange every rational in a line like the naturals and the integers.

    But well tried, outstanding move.

  • surely your hobby can't be that expensive

    Jump

  • I see some influencers bragging about why you'd need quality markers like posca to improve your drawing skills. My bros fell for it and beg me to buy some for them.

    It's like thoses ads telling you you need product to do thing better. Even if it's quality, it doesn't work this way.

    I bought a $25 set of 8 for them. They used it 2 times then stopped because they couldn't make what they wanted. They are now asking for a light tablet to "draw better". They will have to buy it themselves if they really want it. I was fine with the window light when i was their age.

    People somehow always find a way to make the simplest thing expensive with half-useless material.

  • surely your hobby can't be that expensive

    Jump

  • Drawing (we should stop pretending one need expensive material do draw nice things, pencils and erasers are the only requirement, and a good sketch book can be found for less than 15 bucks)

  • Please Don’t Be a Lurker!

    Jump

  • A'ight you won, gotta say something for today. But i hardly understand how people do manage to be social enough to post almost every day, like, they manage to make everything interesting.

    It usually takes me 30-40 minutes to find the strengh to post something. How others will react to it, or is it even meaningful to post it, I find myself facing theses questions as much irl as online.

    Anyways, it truly is a very nice place here, I agree with you, thanks to thoses amazing posters who never get out of inspiration. Thank you all.

  • I'm new to lemmy, came from reddit. What's the lemmy etiquette like? How different is it from reddiqutte?

    Jump

  • Well, to sum it up, it's a bunch of servers acting together like a big decentralised social media. They connect thanks to activitypub, and it's quite amazing.

    Here's a good illustration, i think

    For exemple, one can see your profile here from lemmy: lemmy.ml/u/camille_jamal but also from mastodon: https://mas.to/@Camille_Jamal@lemmy.ml/ And even from misskey! https://misskey.io/@camille_jamal@lemmy.ml

    Even though thoses three fedi services have very differents interfaces and ways of working, they can communicate thanks to activitypub.

    If you check c/fediverse@lemmy.world, you'll see a bunch of useful links about the fediverse in their description.

    I see you're banned, hope you'll still get my message, and that your ban is temporary... anyway have a nice day.

  • I'm new to lemmy, came from reddit. What's the lemmy etiquette like? How different is it from reddiqutte?

    Jump

  • You can block users or communities, or you can effectively join other instances. I heard good from lemmy.dbzer0.com and lemmy.sdf.org, but it's best to just go on join-lemmy.org or fediverse.party and finding an instance you resonate with.

    (Oh yes, in case you didn't know, the fediverse is not limited to lemmy, and is a huge system of many protocols and systems)

    On federated social media, things changes very fast, and you will probably move to another instance from time to time. On the first hand, small instance are chill, they can be quite dead sometimes, but that's where you will find peace from politics. On the other hand, big instances are active, but get sometimes involved in useless drama, and that's where it often gets political.

    Lemmy.ml, I know it, is a bit annoying on some terms, like the sensorship of some swears like "motherfucker" or of chinese criticism, but they haven't been bothering me so i didn't really leave. They are federated to a lot of instances and that's a good point. Am also on a very small server with a dozen of people, there are plenty of servers like that if you dig a bit.

    Well idk why did i wrote that much, hope it'll be useful at least, and that the swear won't get me banned.

    See ya cyberspace anon!

    Jump

  • You can say anything, but always better to have an account on two or three politically different instances in case you want to critisize USA, China, or any controversial thing in the world.

    But if you ain't an asshole, you're welcome! Have a nice journey into the fediverse!

  • I stand by my statement about people who cut sandwiches horizontally

    Jump

  • Ooh, so that was the actual debate, i feel dumb now. Anyway triangles FTW, the strongest shape.

  • I stand by my statement about people who cut sandwiches horizontally

    Jump

  • How do you even cut a sandwich horizontally?? The slices of bread are alreadly separated from each other! On what reference do they consider the cutting plane?

  • What's your favorite case of a game making fun of you?

    Jump

  • In Drake of The 99 Dragons, each time you die, (which happens often), you get roasted and humiliated by some gods in the after life for 10 seconds before they allow you to revive again. This has absolutely no reason to be here, except for doubling the loading screen time.

    Could also mention, in the 6th installment of Touhou Project, Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, if you play on easy, the game won't even let you fight the final boss, mocking your pride on such simple level, and this game mode is usually commented as child play by the games in the whole franchise.

  • If you were some sort of mythological trickster god, what kind of tricks and pranks would you be pulling?

    Jump

  • Every so often, teleport some random person who is alone in its location 3000 meter beyond the floor, and let them fall until they're about 100 meter high, to then slow them down and put them back where they were as if nothing happened.

    Would be interesting to see how such thing would be viewed by society as the number of reports would grow.

    What world would you live in, a world with only anime or only video games?

    Jump

  • Anime is quite tied to video game, so interesting question. I know only few anime coming from visual novels adaptations (clannad), video game references (about 3/4 of isekais i've seen, but except for this genre, it's pretty rare), or just promotional anime for games (pokémon). So without video games, we would still have all of the series focusing on others things, in addition to movies, like some from Ghibli which had a lot of influence and are definitely part of culture.

    On the other hand, anime never existing would basically mean the artstyle itself never existed in the first place, so no Osamu Tezuka to introduce it, or a Japan which never recovered from war. That would mean Atari still crashing in 83, but no famicom to introduce video game consoles as we know it, so it is probable the world would have stayed for arcades and computer video gaming for a long time.

    My argumentations seem favorable for anime, but i'd still pick video games, even if about half of my steam library would then cease to exist. I like interacting stories most of all.

    I guess manga and light novels doesn't count either huh?

  • How do you all stay calm with all this pressure

    Jump

  • The Onion Router, for internet stuff, or a (reliable and well reputed) VPN. But you have an entire community of people more specialised than me for how to not get noticed on internet anyways. Stays informed on the world, and reduce risky things, for you to get some better sleep. Dunno what businesses you do, but your priority is to stop depending on them. Hiding everything you do is just like putting yourself under the spotlight.

    A physical diary that only you knows about, to free yourself from your stressful thoughts and ideas, (with a lighter always nearby) will ease a lot. It works very well for me.

    All evenings, take 10 mins of your free time to yell the hell out of your mood in your pillow (gotta think about neighbors). Do sports, or things of your interests. Works too.

    Oh and you shouldn't post things implying that much that you are doing suspicious things, anywhere on internet. Best irl stuff about you to talk about on corporate internet is none, even mundane things like your country. Illegal things must be done irl the good old way.
