- Comment on all i simly have for this is KBIN IS NOT LEMMY IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE LEMMY IT IS SIMILAR TO LEMMY BUT ITS NOT THE SAME THE FACT THAT YOU CAN COMMENT ON LEMMY POST DOESN'T JUSTIFY IT BEING LEMMY 1 year ago:
because as OP made very clear, kbin is the same thing as lemmy, they are just two aliases to the same subreddit.

Ah understood. Kbin is the KDE binary to access this “lemmy” subreddit on facebook?

Wrong community, wrong advice, and posted twice.

Wrong community, wrong assumption, wrong problem, wrong solution.
- Comment on Anyone know what this is? 1 year ago:
One more interesting feature was the “write lock” switch on the 3.5" ones, a sliding button that covered one of the squared holes on their edges. The floppy drive would sense that and refuse to write on them.
On the 5.25" it was a notch cut on the side (there were punchers for that). To write on a “protected” disk, you’d cover the notch with adhesive tape.

My daughter found a 3.5" floppy in a drawer a couple of years ago (she was 20) and went “What is this? It looks just like a ‘Save’ button!” :)
- Comment on Anyone know what this is? 1 year ago:
It’s the guts of 3.5" floppies, like these, they usually stored 720kB, then 1.44MB, but the latest versions (double sided) were 2.88MB.
The larger one at the bottom is from a 5 1/4" (orange in this picture, the bug daddy in the picture is 8", first type I used, with COBOL)
… and now you kids know where the “save” button icon came from.

- Comment on Brands that don't buy enough Twitter ads will lose verification 1 year ago:
What about stupid malice, or maliciously stupid? :-)
Does a bully thinks being a bully hurts their image?
As an extreme narcissist, he can’t fathom the idea that anything he does can hurt his image. Surrounded by devoted minions, everything he does boosts his ego. He’s mauling Twitter, and thinks this projects a powerful image of himself.
I never liked this guy, I think he’s an narcissistic spoiled brat, but even then I can’t believe he could possibly be so stupid to think that things like throwing away the Twitter brand for “X” make sense.
- Comment on Brands that don't buy enough Twitter ads will lose verification 1 year ago:
Since he started his act about buying Twitter I saw that as a personal vendetta to harm it - the ultimate tantrum for being mocked at there and not being under his control. He said he’d buy then backed off just to hurt Twitter’s value, but then when he was forced to buy it for the first offer value, he got even more butthurt.
It’s pretty clear that everything he’s done since is to get revenge and destroy it. It’s insane that some people keep praising his decisions towards Twitter as anything but ridiculous.
He’s the rich brat who doesn’t get brown nosed by the waiter in front of his date, then proceed to buy the restaurant just to fire the guy.

Entertaining human written read.
But if I’m going to be that reckless, I’d rather feel the forbidden joy of riding my motorcycle sans helmet!
- Comment on Meet the latest way the superrich prove they're really, totally worried about the environment: $10 million electric superyachts 1 year ago:
If it’s a sailboat, it’s supposed not to use motors most of the time anyway. Sailboats use solar panels and wind generators since they became available.
Now, if it’s not a real sailboat, but a electric motorboat with a sail just for helping, then it does not deserve the environmental badge. Solar panel power is not significant enough to move a boat, comparing to real sails.
- Comment on ‘World Of Warcraft’ Players Trick AI-Scraping Games Website Into Publishing Nonsense 1 year ago:
Yes, it’s inevitable. The problem is that between today and the point where every job is replaced by AI and robots (and we’ll work figurative jobs 4 hours a week, and every human will have a comfortable life because everything is produced with zero cost, thus extinguishing capitalism), there’s a transition period (which has already started), where jobs are destroyed faster than alternatives are created, and corporations fight for profits amidst the looming singularity.
If society and civilization survives the abyss, eventually it’ll reach the other side.

It won’t work in the long term. There will always be a country welcoming your content servers, out or reach from regulations.
Then what will we do? Have government blocking those countries at country border firewalls?
- Comment on ‘World Of Warcraft’ Players Trick AI-Scraping Games Website Into Publishing Nonsense 1 year ago:
Unfortunately at some point AI will be able to generate articles indistinguishable from human ones by search engines.
I don’t see why they couldn’t generate even crappier articles than today, but ranking better on search results, if they are set to learn SEO, optimizing their articles specifically from being fed back their search ranking. AI could learn to actively boost their rankings by searching for their own articles, accessing the result links, cross linking articles and commenting about them on their own pages or on social media.
It will be a new SEO war, writer AI vs search engine AI.
