  • What is lemmy doing about bot scrapers?

  • When it is so easy to replace characters in strings for a computer, why would this help?

    s/þ/th/g

    I am open to being educated, but this seems like old wives tale stuff about how to keep the AI demons away.

  • You are ignoring people who have walked this path and are giving you the advice right now.

    Public file hosting is not where you start.

  • Are there enough resources in the world to allow everyone (or at least the vast majority) to live comfortably and happily?

    Jump

  • All of human history exists because we solved scarcity.

    The past 12,000 years has been trying to convince the hoarding assholes to stop making life shitty for everyone else.

    You shouldn't just be mad, you should feel the injustice of it all in your ancestral bones.

  • I'm not

  • Tor Norretranders agrees with you. You should read The User Illusion if you haven't already.

  • Which stages of life do you think is the best part?

    Jump

  • I’m in my late 30s now, and my body feels better than in my early 20s, as I had stopped working out during that time. Also ended up getting diagnosed for adhd in my mid 40s and just this year had vyvanse prescribed which has proved a huge help.

    How old are you? What is this? I worry I am engaging with an AI here or something.

  • Generative AI is a societal disaster

    Jump

  • We shouldn't be growing almonds in a desert and yet you hold that up as a defense for AI.

    🤷‍♂️

  • The Death of Windows – And What Comes Next

    Jump

  • Correct, I did not watch the video because the first premise the video offered is untrue. I don't mean to poo-poo you sharing Linux stuff, and if this video gets more people onto Linux, great.

    But like I said, it is not for those of us who have been here for a very long time screaming about how important it is to control your OS if you want to own your computer.

  • The Death of Windows – And What Comes Next

    Jump

  • Windows NEVER meant freedom.

    Noped out right away.

    Not the video for those of us who have been around for long enough to remember all the shit MS pulled trying to kill Linux off.

  • Silicon Valley Has China Envy, and That Reveals a Lot About America

    Jump

  • Thing is, I am starting to think this has been true for the entirety of recorded history. You know we solved scarcity when we started having time to write shit down.

    All of our recorded story as a species is just us hurting each other until we figure that out. The moral arc of history is indeed long.

  • You'll be fine

    Jump

  • Hello. Thank you for typing this so that I didn't.

  • Senate Democrats reject GOP-led funding stopgap for 11th time

    Jump

  • GOP will build a ballroom of gold before you get healthcare.

  • GOP Ripped for 'Holding US Economy Hostage' as Nearly Half of States Face Recession

    Jump

  • Republicans don't give a shit about you, only if you're showing up for your survival job at one of their yachting buddy's companies.

  • Trump suggests US will buy Argentinian beef to bring down prices for American consumers

    Jump

  • American rancher? Fuck you!

    Trump fucks his supporters yet again.

  • Ruby Central tries to make peace after 'hostile takeover'

    Jump

  • Sure, just know that this feedback is coming from people who have probably walked the same path and are trying to save you some pain. Best of luck, but I have found people like that are not engaging in good faith.

  • Ohio man charged after brandishing gun at New York City Wikipedia conference

    Jump

  • Hope this guy gets the help he is clearly crying out for.

  • 10 hospitalized after balcony collapse near University of Cincinnati

  • The linked example specifically wasn't due to overcrowding.

  • Young Republican kids

  • These people think YOU should be in a gas chamber. Fucking wild that these people think they're better than everyone. Wild.

  • Lead levels in protein powder, shakes flagged by Consumer Reports

  • I use a strat where I play past me off against future me as present me and through spiteful actions can achieve these things. Maybe a similar strategy can work for you. Let me give an example:

    Your disgust with past you motivates you to go to the grocery store. Your pettiness toward future you means you buy ingredients instead of prepped. The future anger this engenders in a present you forced to prepare a sandwich can be fed back into the system to motivate a trip to the grocery... etc.

    Never underestimate spite.

    Edit: if you find yourself cackling in the produce aisle holding some weirdo hard to prepare growth you have gone too far and should dial it back.
