No I swear I just have an account there for all the SFW stuff!!!

This article is literally the first time I’ve heard that he’s running as a Democrat and not a Republican lol
It’s worth noting that also according to that article women attempt suicide 1.3x as often as men – but men are more likely to use guns so they end up dying more. It seems to me guns are a core part of the issue
I imagine a lot of people have jobs where it would be trivial to set something like this up on company resources under the radar and then lose access / get laid off without the company ever knowing it’s running
Ya that website is totally useless if you don’t already know what Pleroma is, it explains what the fediverse is like 4 times but never explains how the app integrates with it lol
“Oh boy the line went up that must mean I’m on the winning team!”
The problem is that without an effective way to ID bot content then stats like this could be covering up the real trends in human users, particularly in any stat that purports to measure all lemmy instances since we already know there are instances out there filled with thousands of bot users
Ya I’m surprised that people are advocating for Plex these days especially in a self hosting community, it’s overbloated and mostly exists to force their FAST service down your throat
There have already been instances found that had thousands of bot accounts, they’ve been defederated but clearly people are gearing up
To my knowledge there’s also no way of identifying bot accounts unless they proactively self identify so these numbers don’t don’t mean much
Damn I’ve never even heard of that but I wish I had, it seems like it’d be fun to fuck around and see how many recorded responses you can find lol
Are you assuming here that impoverished = no internet access? Those are not the same
To cut out the BS legal double speak, it’s so you can have a steam-like interface that’s designed to be natively compatible with pirated games and allow friends to access them from your server
It makes sense to me that people are more worried about potentially any corporation / bad actor accessing their data rather than one
It isn’t AI, it’s the economy. Companies that got money from investors regardless of their profitability now have to survive on their own profits which forces them to restructure
This is a great example of how aggressively useless chatgpt is at this kind of thing, the response is literally just the prompt rephrased and packaged like an answer lol
At a high level it just comes down to the company not being structured to generate profit – fundamentally it exists to justify moving money from investors to the owners of reddit. That has worked up until now but in the current economic climate investors are looking for a return and it’s exposing how many tech companies have been burning cash because of how easy it was to get with minimal accountability. Any feature reddit adds hasn’t actually had to increase revenue, it’s had to convince investors that it is going to increase revenue, which is why the few features they’ve added have basically been clones of features that attracted investors to other platforms (like the video streaming thing)
After nearly two decades of running the company that way it’s going to be hard to pivot to actually generating money directly to cover what I imagine are loads of unnecessary expenses and inflated salaries
regular ambulance rides are free anyway
what in tarnation
There were banging sounds picked up at 30 min intervals in the area, it’s since stopped but my understanding is those indicated they were still alive “somewhere” at the time
Even their “correct” functionality is sketchy AF, the average user would still have no idea what that URL tag meant and thus would not be making the informed choice the article implies they would be making
