Love & hate are sides of the same coin. Don’t mistake my agitation for the admiration you are seeking.

Still not installing it.

I just really really want to know how long you have been and will be stating this as though anyone gives a fuuuuuck

I know everything about everything but first I’m going to make this Earth simulation to see how you behave since I don’t know yet. And then I will make decisions based on this information that I didn’t know even though I knew it.

No I enjoy it. I’m not sitting there getting angry over anything or having it ruin my day.

Just once and a while swing by and laugh for a bit. It’s like a zoo I guess? But I have more respect for zoos.

“What are the idiots up to today… oh being idiots lol”

Yeah this is all second hand from an announcement about something that is “going to happen”. So details might differ from what actually shows up.

And yes I think mod abuse is starting to show up in their bottom line. They need people commenting so they target ads more effectively, same reason they killed r/All. They need to know stuff about you so they can send ads.

Mods being the toxic assholes they are is driving people to lurk, as you stated.

They recently had a mod event where they announced they are restricting ban abilities from mods. Basically AI can ban, mods can choose to unban - but not initiate a ban in the first place.

There are a couple mods I like to hate-watch, once a month or so I swing by and see what kind of BS they have been doing lately. The schadenfreude of watching them mald over this was the best I’ve had all year.

Yeah Lemmy mods are just as ban-happy as Reddit mods. Lemmy as a platform is just more forgiving.

I’m convinced (and would place money on) the mechanism for LLMS to start self propagating and maliciously wreck all internet connected devices (read: Our entire society) is via companies trying to offload compute via something very similar to federated learning.

Just put a teeny model on everyone’s device and let it adapt to the user needs and oops skynet

Which is a shame considering the Linux distro has never ever once ever ever ever contained a bug

You’re right. Nothing has been stolen and then treated as public property in our society. I am fool, and you are a god.

Anyways

Nah.

If you view corporate social media like fb/twitter/reddit as a morally wrong + negative influence on society, then this is a moral win thus worth celebrating.

Especially when you add in that the main barrier to any social media product gaining traction is first hitting that critical mass of enough posts to make it worth returning to -> habit forming + habit replacing.

AS I said to the other dude, I’m not going to keep coming up with examples because you’ll just keep moving the goal posts. There are tons of examples of something of value, natural or man made, being stolen and later treated as a common good.

Just do some research.

So I assume you agree that if someone murdered you, you would prefer they go free and live a happy life.

After all what would they be punished for. There is no victim.

Yes that’s one of the mechanisms to steal the land

Furthermore - I suspect he doesn’t even care if you understand it. He cares if it works reliably. If you accomplish the task of solving hard problems by taking shrooms and dancing naked on your keyboard, I don’t see why he would care.

Conquered is a funny way of saying stolen.

Coerced purchasing, or purchasing from someone else who stole, or purchasing under intentionally false understanding, is still stealing.

This is just one example. I’m not going to keeping punting just for you to move the goal posts.

Morality of using resources that someone else stole is ‘muddy’ to say the least but the majority of modern society would not function if we didn’t look the other way.

For example, I hope you’re not living anywhere in NA or most of Africa or many areas in Europe or some areas in Asia. Because if you are, you’re probably standing on stolen resources.
