No no – me. Your judgement is flawed, obviously. Only mine is correct. /s
Maybe it needs some kind of re-framing, so it’s clear that it is only for bad mod decisions. If it winds up as just people wanting to continue bickering when the mods are trying to stop them I will probably have to change something.
No, no, see: It’s going to be all people who just want to make a valid point and the jerkface moderators wouldn’t let them (which definitely does happen.) That other thing, where they are just convinced they need to be able to be unhinged at other people and throw insults around and now I’m going to give them a perfect place to do it, that doesn’t sound like something Lemmy would do.
(You may have a point. IDK, I’ll try being liberal with the banhammer if that does happen that way.)

World News@lemmy.ml•Video - Greta Thunberg speech after release: "We are not heroes. We are doing the bare minimum".English
4·3 months agoShe was pretty emotional at times. She only really smiled the once. You can see that it fucked her up a little bit, she’s just got enough fire not to let it bother her on camera and mostly get on with what she feels like needs to be said. That is my read of it at least, from my uninformed perspective.

176·3 months agoMatrix is an absolutely pale imitation of Discord.
Yes it is very upsetting that the most popular chat platform in the Western world is in league with Sauron, but Matrix as a replacement is a glorified ICQ client that regularly yells at you that your device is untrusted now and there’s no hope of fixing it, you loser.

New Communities@lemmy.world•[deleted]@quokk.au - For content that was deleted somewhere elseEnglish
2·3 months agoMy point isn’t that this link obeys the rules. My point is that the rules are often weird and pointless in a lot of cases including this one. (And also super-strictly enforced against harmless content, except when the mods decide they don’t want them to be, at which point they suddenly are not even against harmful content sometimes.)
Case in point: Literal obvious disinformation on an important topic being posted to !news@lemmy.world. I reported it. Let’s see if they are as strict about their rules when it comes to that content as they are about this thing being banned permanently unless it gets picked up by some 0-editorial-control political click farm “news” site, at which point it suddenly becomes allowed.
(IDK why I am so salty all of a sudden about this today, but I am.)
Edit: Hey, they removed the disinfo. Good on !news@lemmy.world I guess.

Technology@lemmy.world•Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains batteryEnglish
1·5 months agoYeah. There would be a way to do it that I feel like might potentially be useful. The described method (doing clustering instead of just having a similarity threshold to group tabs together, vectorizing the entire tab title through a whole fucking network instead of just tokenizing it and calling two tabs similar if they have uncommon tokens that are within a certain similarity level) really sounds to me like people who have no real idea what they’re doing, just being “ML experts” all over the codebase and fucking things up, and probably walking away very proud of themselves while helping themselves to bunches and bunches of the Mozilla Foundation’s Google-money.

Technology@lemmy.world•Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains batteryEnglish
31·5 months agoLike why should including a feature with “AI” in it get them VC money?
Spoken like someone who’s never interacted with Silicon Valley VCs… just imagine someone with tons of a money, a moderately competent business background, and very little understanding of even the basics of technology that you and I take for granted. And then make them stupid and greedy.
“AI? Yes please! Here’s some money, I’ve heard of Firefox so I know you’re good for it.” It’s not really any more complicated than that, I don’t think.

Technology@lemmy.world•Oh My God, TAKE IT DOWN Kills ParodyEnglish
261·5 months agoI have a feeling they’re going to be fine moneywise whatever happens. Their personal safety is probably fine. Maybe not, but probably they don’t have to worry too much.
It’s still courage that they’re doing it.

I highly recommend watching the Joe Rogan interview with David Miscavige’s dad, it’s just wild and weird.
Also, where’s Shelly? Where did she go?

701·5 months agoMatt and Trey really don’t give a fuck. They tried to show Muhammed in multiple cartoons, and when the network vociferously shouted them down about it (because it might get them killed or their offices attacked), they snuck him in anyway in multiple places and just didn’t tell anyone. When one of the foundational members of their cast didn’t want them to trash Scientology, they trashed it ten times harder and told him not to let the door hit him on the ass on the way out. They made out with each other for a long time in “Baseketball.”
However valuable or not you feel like their message / their humor is, they are among the very few voices in mainstream media who are simply unafraid and doing their own thing, completely without reservation.

Yeah, maybe. I thought I made it pretty overt in the community rules, let’s see how it shakes out in practice.
