- Comment on Do you care about up/down votes? 2 days ago:
For sure, there are a lot of lurkers. The speed in which they upvote obvious trolls is unnatural.
- Comment on Do you care about up/down votes? 2 days ago:
One thing I hope everyone takes from reddit, the troll’s main weapon is downvoting in droves. I’ve seen 6 upvotes happen in under a minute on Lemmy and we don’t have that kind of user base. Some posts don’t even get federated that quickly. If the question was in good faith and downvoted, it was probably trolls. I hope you don’t take that personal.
- Comment on Besides mod logs, is there a better way for the Fediverse to keep track of malicious actors, such as Kiwi farms members and genocide deniers? 3 days ago:
From urban dictionary:
A website full of cynics who yearn for the approval of those around them, and anonymously harrass people online for not conforming to their community’s beliefs, which they themselves have religiously adopted. Boy ol’ gosh golly, I sure do love going onto Kiwi Farms and laughing at autists and liberals!
- Comment on YSK: Condé Nast Parent Company is a Major Owner of Reddit, You Should Avoid their Publications (Wired, Ars Technica, GQ, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Vogue,...etc) as Much as Possible. 4 days ago:
It’s great on politics too, they post things other outlets won’t.

The general ambience is raining.
We also say:
- It is muggy, inside or out
- It is stifling. This could be inside or heat outside
- It is quiet. Also, inside or out.

I think you should try it then, see how much fun it is.
- Comment on lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month 5 days ago:
We get trolled a lot, that’s mostly what you’re seeing. They seem to be off schedule lately or the admins are handling them better, not sure which.
- Comment on lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month 5 days ago:
I almost joined you. Thank you for all you did and I’m sad to see you go. I guess there’s a reason why it’s not that toxic on Lemmy, you guys were/are taking the brunt of it.
- Comment on Meta plans to use AI to automate up to 90% of its privacy and integrity risk assessments, including in sensitive areas like violent content 1 week ago:
This might be the one time I’m okay with this. It’s too hard on the humans that did this I hope the AI won’t “learn” to be cruel from this though, and I don’t trust Meta to handle this gracefully.
- Comment on OpenAI sees human interaction as a competitor to ChatGPT's super assistant ambitions 1 week ago:
Won’t websites not want that and block them? For instance, if I wanted the best price and terms on airline tickets, why would airlines want them to be crawled? It would be a race to the bottom. I see this as another AI thing not really working.

- Comment on WTF is a rural town in the USA? 1 week ago:
Here are some descriptions and photos of what most small towns look like: www.onlyinyourstate.com/…/slow-paced-towns-in-wa
A really small town is like what you’re calling a village. I think most people outside the US think that rural is closer to urban areas than it usually is. It typically starts a half hour outside a major city and then can be 7-10 hours to the next major city depending on what state you’re in. The upper east coast is probably closer to Europe. Rural encompasses a huge swath of the US land, and most are very isolated physically and mentally.

Anyone know how to skip the bot page?
- Comment on Researchers Scrape 2 Billion Discord Messages and Publish Them Online 2 weeks ago:
Every time you post, you’re posting so that Meta, Google, Reddit and every known retail store like Walmart, Target, Kroger, etc. can see it because they bought that info or harvested it themselves. I think these are great announcements so people can see who sees and manipulates you with your own contributions of data.
- Comment on We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard. 2 weeks ago:
I was thinking how it probably helps by getting into nanoseconds with buying and selling stocks. I have found that there are very few coincidences with huge technologies, tons of cash pouring in and dark money. I could be wrong though.
- Comment on We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard. 2 weeks ago:
That’s a huge amount of electricity even at it’s lowest. Are they building the AI to crypto mine is also another question. I could see these sneaky bastards combining the two somehow.

If you just read the right side, the last word sounds like a noun.

How does crypto mining play into all of the electrical need? I know they used to use a butt load.
- Comment on Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer 2 weeks ago:
I thought you meant they wouldn’t be processing your files locally. You’re saying they’re taking all of your local files and sending them to the cloud though?
- Comment on Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer 2 weeks ago:
However, the features described in this article mostly have to do with extracting information from images.
You said “mostly” and also, I don’t want microsoft looking at any of my images without them asking first. They already have deleted images from my computer if I save them in their designated “my pictures” folder. I don’t trust them.
- Comment on Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer 2 weeks ago:
I want to believe you, but I’ve been burned before.
- Comment on Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer 2 weeks ago:
I disagree. If this is in your system, they’re going to use every file on your computer to train their AI. That’s my guess.
- Comment on Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think so. It says it’s part of file explorer, so that would be part of the overall system, right?

He may normally, but this song is bad and as I said, the audience is hilarious.
- Comment on Like to play alone? Ubisoft is still watching you! 3 weeks ago:
Being a tech savvy individual, the complainant additionally examined what exact data was being sent to Ubisoft when playing. The complainant discovered that, over a period of just 10 minutes, the game established a connection to external servers 150 times. Among the recipients of the complainant’s data: Google, Amazon and US software company Datadog.

I like that one, it makes sense for a toilet paper company and is funny. The Church’s Chicken ad is unbelievably bad. I can’t find it though. It has a white rapper with the most rhythmically challenged customers appreciating his horrible rap.

If a racist says you’re not white, they’ll kill you over your protests. They may even pretend to think you’re white up until you’re useless to them.

FYI, the Republicans have already done it.
