- Comment on YSK: db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com set up a AI image generator bot on the Threadiverse for anyone here to freely use 3 weeks ago:
I actually think the bad one shot is kind of part of the joke.
For instance: Someone posts a petty revenge story about getting back at their ex boyfriend for cleaning out their bank account.
I comment on that post with my request to aihorde along the lines of “a drag queen lifting a champagne glass as a toast to how delightfully petty someone is being”.
AIHorde will then generate the image.
Regardless of how good or bad the gen is, my original intent will come across because the OP can still see that my AIHorde prompt was intended to compliment OP. The bonus is if AIHorde comes up with an awesome output, it will be hilarious. It the output is terrible, also hilarious. If the output is so-so, the original intent of a compliment was still delivered.
At least, that’s my thinking.
As an example: Slack kind of had this functionality when sending GIFs awhile back. If you had the Giphy integration, you’d just type “/gif {topic}” and the integration would select a random gif that was returned from searching your topic. This GIF would be posted in the chat without you having the chance to review it first. Sometimes the GIF returned was irrelevant result, but everyone brushed it off because they knew how random the integration could be. Other times, it returned the perfect GIF and the potential randomness of result made a good GIF result even more satisfying.

Reduce social anxiety by being able to do stupid human tricks when hanging out with people.

This is gold and I’m so thankful for this knowledge.
I wish I could limit the response to just one picture so I could use this as a meme generator in response to user comments.

- Comment on Reddit tracking upvotes for mod actions 3 months ago:
The original intent is what my understanding was and why I don’t upvote reposts across multiple communities.
Just a few moments ago I upvoted a post that I didn’t “like” because the discourse on it was so good.
…There’s definitely stuff I still hate-downvote tho 😈
- Comment on Reddit tracking upvotes for mod actions 3 months ago:
Still up to the site itself to decide what is “violating content”. This puts a chilling effect on upvoting and gets Reddit one step further from what it once was.
- Comment on Job related: Am I being stupid? 4 months ago:
Age is also something that matters here. Are you middle-aged yet? I ended up pulling the brakes on my career to get a better work-life balance, but it ended up stunting my career trajectory a bit.
Once I had more free time and realized I wanted to earn more, I had to hustle to get back to a top-of-market position.
In short: there’s always time on the future to pivot to Option B. If there’s more value to extract where you are, milk it for all it’s worth and then exit before it goes south (as all jobs do).

I was a Reddit refugee.
A year or so into Lemmy and I don’t want to have a Reddit account anymore. I go back and view “All” every once in awhile, but Lemmy and Loops give me all I need.
No other social media or content aggregators besides those.

I just call them “wester-style RPGs”. It’s like the contrast to JRPGs.
- Comment on Is it cheaper to use a plug-in oil radiator to eat an individual room, or run the central heater to heat an individual room and living room? 8 months ago:
I actually did some googling and there are some okay-ish articles debating this topic. All of them said “it depends”, which isn’t really helpful.
It got me thinking, though… how much savings would you need to make it worth it to you? ($20 savings? $100 savings? $500 savings?)
The oil heater is going to cost ~$50 to purchase if you don’t already have one. That means you’ll at least need to save $50 just to break even. So over the winter, your electric bill will need to drop by $50 plus whatever the dollar amount you need in order for it to be “worth the trouble” for you.
If an extra $50 over the winter in savings ($100 total) is worth it to you, I think you have a high chance of an oil room heater getting you that savings over your central heating. I’m doubtful how much more you’d be able to save beyond that. (I didn’t do the math on it, but based on the articles I read, the oil heater is going to be cheaper in general.)
Another thing to consider: The oil heater is likely to be a lot more convenient to use than the central air option and having to close all the other vents in your house though.

Really interesting talk. It’s funny to me how as the world gets more and more connected via the internet, more and more the law enforcement branches sacrifice privacy in order to “fight evil”
- Comment on Increasing the efficiency of (some) refrigerators with insulating foam, potentially cutting yearly energy use in half 8 months ago:
Holy shit this is some #theydidthemath stuff.
6 months at paying full price for the foam is a ridiculously quick turnaround given the lifespan of a fridge (easily 5 years). Plus, you can probably reuse the prior fridge’s foam on the next fridge, so that makes it even better.
Why don’t people do this more often? If the gap in my current “fridge space” wasn’t so small already, I’d be tempted to go find some foam.
- Comment on Increasing the efficiency of (some) refrigerators with insulating foam, potentially cutting yearly energy use in half 8 months ago:
Excellent point about getting styrofoam for free (I hadn’t even thought of that). With that in mind, the only cost would be for time spent gathering the foam and then covering the fridge (I could probably do this in less than an hour, tbh).
Thanks for this comment!
- Comment on Increasing the efficiency of (some) refrigerators with insulating foam, potentially cutting yearly energy use in half 8 months ago:
Very cool post (pun intended).
This got me thinking about the goal of this kind of insulation…
If it’s cost savings, what would be the timespan until the cost of the styrofoam is paid for by the energy savings? ( I have no idea what that type of styrofoam costs).
If the goal is environmental, how much energy savings would be needed to offset the footprint of the manufacture of the styrofoam and transport of the styrofoam to your location?
In either case, I’d have to assume the less efficient (and older) the fridge, the faster you’d make the extra insulation pay itself off.

Pretty eye-opening stuff on how deranged cyber criminals can be.
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 8 months ago:
Thanks for bringing this up. I think I’ve heard this too and I have to say I’m of two minds about it.
In one end… I am frustrated with Reddit’s greed and I think they’ve lost most of my respect at this point. I think I’m kinda bitter toward them, so seeing them lose market share might bring me a bit of schadenfreude.
On the other hand, Reddit’s content quality really feels like it’s gone to crap in the last 5-6 years or so. When I came to Lemmy (and Mastodon), it was refreshing because the community seemed to have a bit of that scrappy, fringe attitude that I missed from early Reddit. I’d be sad if that went away due to over-population.
Basically, I like Lemmy and I want it to be even more successful so that algorithms have less control on our lives. At the same time, I dislike Reddit because they’re going whole-hog into enshittification. I guess I just convinced myself that I want Lemmy to continue to grow ¯_(ツ)_/¯
