  • It's generating engagement to astroturf as a basis of using you and manipulating you and the community here. Lemmy will not benefit from it. Yes, I'm against it. I've seen what that kind of influence has on an online community.

  • I don't care if I'm "allowed" to report them. These latest bots are pretending to be people when it's clear they are not. Going to call out, downvote, and report liars and trolls wherever they appear, AI or not.

  • Astroturfing AI slop powered engagement bots rehashing reddit's greatest hits discussion topics like OP.

  • This AI slop just seems to be a reddit greatest hits as performed by shiny new AI slop bot pretending to be a person to generate engagement.

  • This whole post is a lie to manipulate people into engaging with an astroturfing bot.

  • AI engagement bots like OP.

  • AI slop engagement bots like you.

  • You can't possibly have any experience with shoelaces because you don't have feet. You're just AI slop.

  • What's up with the ridiculous AI slop picture? It seems to have little to do with the article. It absolutely does not depict what a gator or crocodile nest looks like or would have likely ever looked like. Not how those kinds of nests by cold blooded creatures work. I can only assume the rest of the article is similarly meaningless AI slop too.

    I guess the BBC is doing lazy AI slop now. Cool.

  • It is amazing how completely this comment misses the point, the joke, the meme, shitposting, trolling, just absolutely every nuance of context.

  • I stopped drinking soda regularly decades ago and went through the same thing, drinks I once enjoyed were now either "meh" or way too sweet and acidic to be able stomach more than a few ounces. Cutting out soda also meant cutting out a lot of artificial sweeteners (because I was never very picky about diet or not, I just wanted the bubbly sweet. That meant that when I did try diet sodas after having quit for some time, they tasted even worse or sometimes even made me feel worse. This is all anecdotal obviously, but it seems like you're experiencing something similar. It's not just you. There's nothing wrong with you.

  • You sound like someone that hasn't had to listen to that song on repeat every half-hour of the working day from November to January while serving the dregs of society we call holiday retail shoppers.

    Its not about this particular song being good or bad. Practically any other sufficiently popular Christmas song could be a drop-in replacement for all of these memes. We who have worked retail (or retail adjacent public sevice) have trauma related to the circumstances of that seasonal torture.

    This song is just a lightning rod because it has become a cultural shorthand for all this. That's what many jokes are by the way, cultural references that relieve tension around a group's shared trauma. That is exactly what memes are. This opinion boils down to, "I don't like this meme, because it is a classic meme and I don't like memes because they are memes."

  • At that scale meters and miles are pretty close with respect to orders of magnitude, which is why practically everyone talks about these scales in AUs regardless of what units they actually used to do the science.

  • It's more than simply unfair. It's theft, wage theft, plain and simple.

  • A CSV is just a long string of text with a few control characters tossed in for end lines. There are practically no rules enforced by the file type itself. You can dump that unsanitized and poorly awk'd data into whatever awful mess you want. Nobody's stopping you. Sure, excel will force it's CSV formatting rules on you when you export like a child's training wheels. But that's not relevant here.

  • It could have been an accident or incident that resulted in a death. They may have been collecting evidence. There are even some police in my area that uses conventional land surveying equipment and rapid high density laser scanners. Precise measurements of things like skids marks and other evidence of how the vehicles came to rest can be used to estimate initial speeds and confirm or refute the testimony of witnesses.

    It could also be something more mundane like an actual land surveyor collecting data to support future design work or verify completed projects.

    Neither of these are jobs that can be done at night or at times more convenient for your car.

  • If it made a PDF with an image, it also made the plain image for which you're asking. The PDF in this case is basically a container for that image (along with all the text, formatting, fonts, etc.). There are numerous programs for extracting images from PDFs.

  • You want mpd to server and play the music, connected with a web front end (there are a few to choose from) accessible on the private store wifi. You should probably serve this frontend only to a certain machine on the network (like the managers computer in the back) and lock everything else out. The last time I ripped CDs on Linux I used whipper, which I believe was the successor to morituri. This is all only legal if the CDs they have already included the licensing fees to play them publicly or are themselves freely licensed. There are sources of freely licensed music out there that you can play publicly without paying.
