I know we are the BetterThanReddit website, but let’s not act like Lemmy is immune from this
- Comment on Reddit has reportedly signed over its content to train AI models 4 months ago:
Well no, because the old sub will continue to exist and will therefore always be where everyone goes until Reddit itself dies. I really doubt admins would let me delete the sub.
- Comment on Reddit has reportedly signed over its content to train AI models 4 months ago:
I feel like AI companies have been scraping Reddit for their datasets already since the beginning and without permission. In fact, unless there’s been a regulation change that i’m not aware of, i’m not sure why they would have Reddit “sign away” the data when they can just scrape it.
Also dubious if the current form of AI has a future. They seem like they should revolutionize every sector when you look at their capacities, but in practice their applications might be more limited than we thought?

So dry them thoroughly before eating?
And then you DIY distill the pickle juice to get as much water and as little acid as possible

Question answered OP, this will be your daily life until the sweet relief of death

And the acidity makes normal tap water taste sweet as if it has sugar in it, it’s pretty neat

But in this situation you can drink water and wash it down, preventing acid damage to your eusophagus. The author of this greentext can’t get water into their intestines.

I’m gonna be 100% honest here. I would do this if i were president.

As a bi man, they may kinda be for me but not really. There’s such a thing as too shredded, many of these are close to that territory.
And for fuck’s sake, you’re not too cool to crack a smile. I’m sure these guys are great IRL but i don’t like those stone faces that they hold in every picture, it makes them look like they care too much about their macho image and would yell at me if i asked them to bottom.
In general i wonder how many of these are supposed to be hot and how many are supposed to represent a powerful male hero. That’s the thing with shirtless dudes.

- Comment on Lemmy.world Should Defederate with Threads 6 months ago:
I feel strongly that we should defederate, but i really like your reasoning for being neutral. The fediverse is currently a small community of advanced internet users who see themselves as separate from mainstream users, and the temptation is to gatekeep.
- Comment on Relative size comparison of social media platforms (December 2023) 6 months ago:
Since 2010 i’ve made three Facebook accounts, deleted one and never use the other two. Active users would be a more useful metric.
It’s been commented on before that, for its size, Twitter has a disproportionate influence not just on the internet but even on politics. This is still the case today because no good alternatives have emerged for the mainstream yet.

The difference should be the size, but not all of us would know

I don’t know, but Mozilla (the org that makes Firefox) also makes a VPN, and you can set it to apply to Firefox only.

I wonder if they’re old enough to have been there. For people in a pretty narrow age range, it could be interesting to react the way they saw adults react around them, or how they remember it.
I wouldn’t have much to contribute, i just remember people talking about something i didn’t undersatnd but retrospectively seems to have been 9/11
