ChatGPT is my programming rubber ducky for general stuff

I mean, they could also just match two accounts by ip in the db as well im pretty sure. That would be a pretty simple sql query

Exactly, and I think that there’s even more downsides as well to strictly comment level disagreement. There’s never any point engaging with bigoted posts. Replies just draw more attention and make you more angry. Better to just downvote, report, and move on without spending too much emotional energy trying to bicker and squabble for a while thread.

There’s just an emotional inequity when it comes to a debate between, for example, a transphobe and a trans person. A transphobe likely knows everything they say can be bullshit - they don’t have to stick to reason. The whole point is just a rhetorical exercise where the cruelty and sadism is the point.

The trans person tho has to stick to researching the dsm v or guidances from credible medical institutions and respond with effort posts and Yada Yada. Everyone’s eyes glaze over and the end result is the trans person is exhausted and feels worse about their life.

Downvote and move on is just a means of reduction of digital self harm. I find it bad to not have it for cases like that, especially on communities where mods aren’t as caring about bigotry. To leave it unchallenged just shows that some people agree with it, and shows nothing to effect of how many people find it repulsive.

They’ve been saying mod tools have been coming since the first blackout years ago. It’s fucking ground hogs day everytime mods get pissed

I mean, look at EEE like Microsoft did in the 90s.

Personally, I’m also scared about Linux after Linus dies. They are on a lot of the board as well

I’d also worry about people who have corporate shit on there. Anyone who uses this as a tool should probably delete their chats and change their password, even if you don’t have anything proprietary or ground breaking in there just as a precaution

What about the nb verse though?

I imagine the frequency response curve is going to be a trash heap on these things. Mids? Who needs em?

Anything regarding pc building is f-u-c-k fucked rn. Trying to gets some finer info on bios settings yesterday was fucked lol

I’m not a lawyer in the slightest, but wouldn’t stuff like that be grounds for a mistrial?

Those recommend gpu reqs are fucking ridiculous lol. If people are getting anything less that 60 with a 6700xt, then m$ and Bethesda fucked up again.

Also, 125gb? What the fuck?

See my post history if the ui is bothering you. With Sylus browser add on, some very small ui tweaks make the site much easier on the eyes

Duck duck go first, and if results are shit, I default back to google

That’s where I’m at. I think I like this place more than tildes from what I’ve seen.

There’s still a few niche things that warrant keeping my account and using old.reddit for the time being. Mainly, I get most of my local city news from the local sub - I don’t think Lemmy will ever be able to replace that

Half the problem is that people use either TV speakers or a cheap sound bar that completely ruins the experience

Gui with keyboard shortcuts is the right mix of efficient and approachable imo

Rip my LGV10. May you bootloop in peace

I love how you can find ui from every windows version in even the newest stuff. To be fair, I dont envy microsofts position - developing an OS that gets used on modern devices to old industrial PCs cant be easy to update

touch screens for cars especially is a god damn mistake

undefined> Can lemmy.ml open signups so they don’t need to be approved?

That probably won’t happen - any old timers here correct me if any of the following is incorrect, I hope im not being confidently incorrect. The amount of resources that the server needs, and the amount of mods it would take for that, would be quite a bit. Think of it this way - its not like lemmy.ml is meant to be reddit as a whole. Its mean to be one singular small-ish instance of something similar, of which the server is ran on some private place by people largely doing it out of the goodness of their own heart. If one instance gets too big, that requires a lot of resources, and could likely kill the instance. Not only that, but open registration just screams bot abuse

Its better to have things more decentralized, and have people go to new instances so that theres not a huge influx that burns moderators and resources out. Im personally hoping that more instances pop up for more niche things - ie, a server for sports, or for pc building etc
