That and translation being built into social media. That’s what proved to me it wasn’t just him like so many people want you to think.
- Comment on Estonia is digging a 40 km trench to stop Russian tanks — and 600 bunkers are next 4 days ago:
Thank you lmao. I saw the article a few times and had to ask because I was very sure that wouldn’t stop a tank but I didn’t want to be the dipshit assuming they know better than civil engineers.
- Comment on Estonia is digging a 40 km trench to stop Russian tanks — and 600 bunkers are next 4 days ago:
Is the perspective making them look small or will something like that actually stop a tank?

- Comment on Microsoft to force install the Microsoft 365 Copilot app in October 5 days ago:
What apps are only available as a docker container? I know some are flatpak only but thata not really the same.
I use an arch based distro though so maybe it’s an issue on smaller ones ive never run into.

Thanks a ton going to do a full read through but upon first glance actually looks better done compared to most of the other studies I've looked at talking about seeming miracle cures even with the extremely small sample size. I'm very intrigued.
- Comment on Groundbreaking Brazilian Drug, Considered Capable of Reversing Spinal Cord Injury, Presented in São Paulo 1 week ago:
Anyone have a link to the study because this seem too good to be true by a wide margin.

I've been looking for a new book to read thanks for the link :).
- Comment on Reddit is dropping subscriber counts on subreddits 1 week ago:
Because there is a level of stability in subreddits with >50k ish subscribers that subs smaller than that just don't have. You might have a lot of MAU because a sub hit r/all multiple times but goes back down to a much smaller number following that because it's out of the news.
- Comment on Reddit is dropping subscriber counts on subreddits 1 week ago:
I don't know what it is about reddit buy I find myself constantly feeling outraged when I stop by to browse something that's not on Lemmy. I don't have any accounts anymore luckily but for some reason reddit feels harder to disengage on then lemmy/piefed.
- Comment on Reddit is dropping subscriber counts on subreddits: Users will now see seven-day metrics that track active visitors and contributions instead. 1 week ago:
I highly recommend it. I daily crust because I don't mind if something breaks and I figure it's probably useful having a few people consistently using it so they can alert devs if something is fucked.

I swear mozzila is trying to kill itself. They make the wrong choice 99% of the time.
- Comment on Signal announces a backup feature that includes 100MB of storage for texts and the last 45 days' worth of media for free, or 100GB of storage for $1.99/month 1 week ago:
I'm keeping this because I really do feel like "techie" people forget that tech shit shit like back ups are a chore that 99% of people would rather not deal with.

Because the UK is also a fascist state?
- Comment on AI startup Anthropic agrees to pay $1.5bn to settle book piracy lawsuit 2 weeks ago:
Probably once they can stand on their own merits and make a profit. So never in the case of AI companies.

Does Europe not sell pads with IPA on them for first aid kits?
- Comment on [fluff post] If lemmy users are Lemmites, what would we like to call piefed users? 3 weeks ago:
I think refering to people on piefed as feds without context would be hilarious.

Your large paragraph has so many fallacies I genuinely don't think you're being serious.
- Comment on 4chan and Kiwi Farms Sue the UK Over its Age Verification Law 3 weeks ago:
I still can't believe ancaps are real lmao. It's the most obviously flawed ideology o have ever seen.
Just look outside and see that this but worse is a terrible idea.
- Comment on 4chan and Kiwi Farms Sue the UK Over its Age Verification Law 3 weeks ago:
I appreciate people like you. Makes finding people to block so much easier when all I have to do is scroll to verify instead of engage in a conversation then find out that they are not worth talking to half way through.
- Comment on Microsoft fires two more employees for participating in Palestine protests on campus 3 weeks ago:
If anyone is reading this scroll through their comments they have no real opinions and get off on making people mad. Not even worth the thought power to prove them wrong block and move on like I'm doing after sending this.
- Comment on Microsoft fires two more employees for participating in Palestine protests on campus 3 weeks ago:
Maybe not to someone who's a genocide denier but I don't think your opinions matter much to most people.

The cap on HoR seats is possibly one of the worst things that have ever happened in american democracy.
- Comment on AI Killed My Job: Translators 3 weeks ago:
I think the AI bubble is really close to poping. If they can't make a profit on it in the next 2 years (maybe sooner with how badly the economy is about to start doing) VC money will dry up and then they will have to up prices dramatically.
There's a lot of factors I could get into but it seems like they are going to have to start pricing AI use at the very least cost soon.

They can even scrape likes/dislikes and make profiles for people that don't comment.

I don't agree with a lot of the things the founding fathers did or said but the quote "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety" rings true even at this stage.
Because lets be honest here everyone knows that they will be sentencing innocent people with this.

- Comment on India and China work to improve ties amid Trump's unpredictability 5 weeks ago:
I wonder how many people understand how big of a deal that is. Like I imagine a lot of people on Lemmy do but in the general public I have to imagine most people have no idea how deep the hate runs between them.

Fucking source‽ Yes companies do scummy shit with IP all the time but no companies are not reprinting books without paying authors unless there is some crazy contract bullshit.
