- Comment on Let my Duolingo streak expire cos I don't want to give them any more AI training for free and this popped up 🙄 2 days ago:
I actually started using Duolingo recently and the hearts system has you either pay, start your free trial for its subscriotion, or you watch an ad, even then though, that’s just shitty.

I get your point, some people do blame everything on certain groups, but this is about an internet stereotype, and everyone, or at least most people, know that stereotypes have to be true to some extent.
I’ve come across my fair share of Russian trolls, which are the majority for my case, and next are American trolls.
I’d assume that most of the people complaining about Russian trolls I’ve seen on Lemmy and other social media are from the USA or the EU, and for context, I’m from Australia, so it isn’t one specific area in the world that experiences it, it’s global, making it even more valid of a stereotype since it’s so omnipresent.

aww man, this is actually depressing. Hope Lemmy as a whole grows back better after this blows over. o7

It’s instant from everyone else’s perspective, you have a 5 minute cut scene that outlines the area you teleported to, but not a second goes by from the moment you teleport to after you are there.

- Comment on It's about that time 1 month ago:
Well she was defrosting it the day before for dinner but forgot it was there and made something else instead (not sure how she forgot but still.), then we were in a rush at like 4 in the morning the day of the flight, so we barely checked anything other than the switches on the power points and our luggage basically.

Reminds me of when my mother left 1kg of ground beef in the microwave my accident before our flight to Sydney, I will never forget that smell after we got back, that damn smell.
- Comment on Framework Laptop 12 is now available for pre-order for €569 and up (but not in the US) 1 month ago:
At the campus I’m currently at, it’s funded pretty well, we have good quality buildings, we have doctors that come in every couple days and have “chillout tuesday” where we have activities and free food in the seminar room. The other two campuses are definitely falling behind in those regards.
Either they may not be getting enough from the government and are supplementing it, or they are getting ripped off by Lenovo, although it seems to be due funding the school, since there are also the out for uniform days, where you have to pay $10 unless you don’t want to participate for the rest of the year.
- Comment on Framework Laptop 12 is now available for pre-order for €569 and up (but not in the US) 1 month ago:
This would make one hell of an impact at my school in Australia, our school sells shitty cheap laptops for $1200 AUD (around €723), but the licenses for software are provided by the government and the laptops tend to cost less than half the school sells them for, so the framework laptop 12 would definitely be preferable, including with the add-ons you mentioned.
A little sidenote, I have no clue how it’s legal for the school to price gouge us like that for literally the cheapest ThinkPads or other laptops possible.

Can you rewrite this but longer? It’d be a great addition to the unending list of copypastas.
- Comment on Google To Allow Double Serving Ads. 2 months ago:
Seeming that I’m getting increasingly pissed off by Spotify giving 5 or more ads without 30 minute adless times and for every 5th song rather than every 8th or 10th, I’m gonna have even more stress from the doubling of all google ads.
At least ublock origin lite does its job pretty well on YouTube, so I won’t need to worry until google eventually kills that too.
- Comment on Parents turn to smartwatches for their children amid global phone screen-time pushback 2 months ago:
I am a living breathing example of a kid who got a phone at 17, I had a bit of a honeymoon period with it, had lots of fun and distraction, but eventually got used to it and actually use it for organising my schoolwork to do list, check the weather and my daily schedule.
I do tend to use social media on it, but only on the bus, since that’s usually when I don’t have anything else to do. I self limit my screen time pretty well, usually only 30 mins to an hour total per day, and I’ve always had all my devices without parental control systems, since my parents never knew how to set them up.
Also, you saying it’s never about algorithms designed to siphon your attention is inherently incorrect of a statement. They literally have hundreds of data metrics to effectively lock you into staring at the screen mindlessly, although parenting also has a part to play, since you also should teach your child on how to control their attention and harness it to actually do something fulfilling, though many parents don’t know how to.

- Comment on Sergey Brin says AGI is within reach if Googlers work 60-hour weeks 2 months ago:
My favourite way to liken LLMs to something else is to autocorrect, it just guesses, and it gets stuff wrong, and it is constantly being retrained to recognise your preferences, such as it starting to not correct fuck to duck for instance.
And it’s funny and sad how some people think these LLMs are their friends, like no, it’s a collosally sized autocorrect system that you cannot comprehend, it has no consciousness, it lacks any thought, it just predicts from a prompt.
