Yeah accounts are needed to post I’m talking just the AIs scraping content and them not respecting robots.txt.

Really the modern age should go from 1985 - 2011 for dc and marvel it would be 2018
Then the next agent would be new 52 for 15 years and fresh start for marvel.
Then rebirth for dc after that in 2016

We need to bring back Jnco jeans back for both men and women. Pockets galore. Also www.pocketsforwomen.co.uk

We need to seriously AI proof before that happens or the bots will clean us out and eat all our bandwidth. The only thing keep us safe is we are under the radar.

Also there are a lot of nation states that have little to no natural resources other than oil. So if there is ever a day that oil how’s bust. Those nations will be irrelevant and their whole economy and purchase power on imports goes back 200 years.
There was a quote that is sometimes attributed to Sheikh Rashid but most likely not a real quote but it speaks the truth about those petostates.
“My grandfather rode a camel, my father rode a camel, I drive a Mercedes, my son drives a Land Rover, his son will drive a Land Rover, but his son will ride a camel”

Can we go there? can you show me the way?
- Comment on Lies, Damned Lies, and LLMs: AI is a Con 2 days ago:
Yeah Gen AI is a great demo with very limited real world applications. It’s like showing a website with pretty graphs and playholder text. It converts potential but in that state has very limited functionality to real people.
- Comment on GitHub - gardner/LocalLanguageTool: Self-hosted LanguageTool private instance is an offline alternative to Grammarly 4 days ago:
Yeah offline means off cloud at this point

This is what I find fascinating Esperanto was constructed ment to unify all the major western languages but English became the standard and in a way English was built organically in the same way as Esperanto. As it pulls from other languages to use in its language all the time.

You also have to worry about bots experimenting on you.
- Comment on Did I just dream this? Wasn't some kind of Steam app available on PlayStation some time ago? 1 week ago:
You can link your steam to your Playstation account maybe that’s what you were thinking.
- Comment on How can we make lemmy have more relevance? 2 weeks ago:
It’s interesting you bring that up i think the star trek instance are one of the fewer instances that get federation right. They carved out their niche and stuck to it. I kind of wished we would have gotten more of them like that.
Like the comics instance or the retro tech instance. Like you would go to the retro tech instance to the C64 community. So it would be logical how everything is broken out. Like old school forms for different subjects but they can also blend by talking to one another.
So many just want to be generic catch all’s and it could be so much more.
- Comment on How can we make lemmy have more relevance? 2 weeks ago:
I could not agree more like the early web before it became popular enough for corporations to take notice and start exploiting it. Cherish being under the radar and enjoy the community that’s already here. More will come when they are ready just be ready to welcome them when they do.
- Comment on The Brits had an anthem ready for when Margaret Thatcher died. Americans should also be prepared. 2 weeks ago:
Yeah that’s the worst he was not mad at the actions he was made she was throwing his name around. She was ment to be plausible deniability.
- Comment on Are your parents "supposed" to be your role models? 2 weeks ago:
Also parents can still be role models even if they are shit parents. You just flip the script from be like these people to a list of what not to do.
The fact you are asking this question shows great self awareness and that’s half the battle right there.
- Comment on Oblivion remake is... really making it apparent how outdated Bethesda is in its approach to making games 2 weeks ago:
Just to clarify one thing while i agree with you on some stuff this is not a remake it’s a remaster. the OG game engine is running underneath and UE5 for just the updated models and terrain. The fact they are charging so much for it is what kills me. What this should have been is a $30 game of the year edition and maybe an discount or a free upgrade of you owned the original like they did with doom and quake remasters that nightdive did.
- Comment on Healthcare workers should have combat like ribbons like the military has. Like first responders got during 9/11. 2 weeks ago:
I will settle for a rap sheet of criminal charges.

I could not agree more the point is to show the level of trauma these people go through. To pressure admin to give them all that they deserve Hopefully

- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
The architecture uses two distinct bus subsystems: the chipset bus and the CPU bus. The chipset bus allows the coprocessors and CPU to address “Chip RAM”. The CPU bus provides addressing to conventional RAM. So it’s way different than any other machine at the time. So doing this before you got your hands on the machine to debug and test on is very impressive.
- Comment on How do some communities get like 50 members minutes after its creation? 3 weeks ago:
Person creates community for an agenda purpose. Creates a bunch of accounts or has a following on another platform to create accounts for the purpose of making the community more active than it really is. To reinforce said agenda. Thank goodness we have the ability to block and mods can shadow ban.
- Comment on Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah from a physical aspect yes you are correct but wrestling has the storylines that the circus doesn’t. The Jerry springer like drama and feuds that people really get invested in with the same level of chair throwing.

- Comment on What programs do you wish a good FOSS alternative existed, but doesn't or most of the FOSS alternatives simply aren't good? 3 weeks ago:
Writer in Libre Office is fine if you install the correct fonts on Linux. Calc needs some work people that know how to use power pivot in excel use it all the time. So not having that makes the switch hard.

I feel like your co-worker could get up to some Kramer like shenanigans with that situation.

It’s also money in it. If you build an influence brand base on racism. Those people are just digging for stuff to make content about.
