- Comment on Is there a redirector plug in 3 days ago:
PieFed has this out of the box. You click a link at your home instance once on the browser you use. After that, you can get from any post on an unknown instance to yours by adding a few letters in the front of the URL on that browser.
- Comment on Why isn’t "Democrats would never get away with this" seen as a problem for the left?” 5 days ago:
It means that one side is has gained an ability that is extremely dangerous for the society. It is a real imbalance, but the solution must be to raise awareness of the danger.
- Comment on Does each country have a book/library of the laws of the land that a commoner can consult to check if they're about to do something illegal? 1 week ago:
I would be surprised if there was a country that don’t have their all laws set in the paper form.
But, regarding Finland: You’re thinking of http://finlex.fi .
There’s for example this gem, telling about how you should take care of the hops trellis the law requires you to maintain! :)
(Please don’t tell anyone, but I do not actually have a hops trellis! I’m breaking the law.)
It’s also helpful if you want to know how to let your pigs to run in an acorn forest. Or if your bees escape and land inside someone else’s tree.Also, the beginning words of our Criminal Code are a bit, well, outdated? Here goes: https://www.finlex.fi/en/legislation/1889/39-001?language=swe&highlightId=798156&highlightParams=%7B%22type%22%3A%22BASIC%22%2C%22search%22%3A%22rikoslaki%22%7D
(I’m linking the Swedish-language versions because I believe a machine translator does a better job translating to European languages from Swedish than from Finnish)
- Comment on Countries/Cities without Walmart's/Giant super centers 1 week ago:
If anybody wants a good laugh, they should read about why Walmart failed in Germany :D
- Comment on Trains cancelled over fake bridge collapse image 2 weeks ago:
It is implied in the article that the chatbot was able to point out details about the image that the reporter either could not immediately recognize without some kind of outside help or did not bother looking for.
So, the chatbot added making something on the photo noticed in a few seconds that would have taken several minutes for the reporter to notice.
- Comment on Trains cancelled over fake bridge collapse image 2 weeks ago:
You can see my comment history to determine if I’m an LLM or not :)
In any case, have fun in your circles!
- Comment on Trains cancelled over fake bridge collapse image 2 weeks ago:
If the part of the image that reveals the image was made by an AI is obvious enough, why contact a specialist? Of course, reporters should absolutely be trained to spot such things with their bare eyes without something telling them specifically where to look. But still, once the reporter can already see what’s ridiculously wrong in the image, it would be waste of the specialist’s time to call them to come look at the image.
- Comment on Trains cancelled over fake bridge collapse image 2 weeks ago:
The article says they used ChatGPT or some similar LLM bot. It says they used a chatbot, and that’s what the word chatbot means by default. A skilled reporter mentions if it was something else.
The reporter used a chatbot such as ChatGPT to ask if there’s anything suspicious in the image, the chatbot, by coincidence, happened to point out something in the photo that the reporter could then recognise as AI-generated indeed, and got on typing his article again.
The only part of this that is not mentioned in the article is that the reporter confirmed the referred spot in the image with his own eyes, but that is such an integral part of a reporter’s education that you need specific reasons to work against the assumption that this was done.
- Comment on Trains cancelled over fake bridge collapse image 2 weeks ago:
There’s hoping that the reporter then looked at the image and noticed, “oh, true! That’s and obvious spot there!”
- Comment on People that have face/butt labeled towels must do a terrible job washing their butts 2 weeks ago:
This helps only if you wash your towel after each shower.
- Comment on Do people who have bad relationship with their parents care about "insults" like "I fucked your mom last night"? Or do you just not care? 3 weeks ago:
Why would anyone care? Huh?
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 4 weeks ago:
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 4 weeks ago:
Dunno. I’m using PieFed and this is how this discussion’s th-characters look on my screen:
I’m pretty much okay with this :)
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 4 weeks ago:
Why spite?
People consider something a problem and this fixes the problem. The person can continue writing whatever characters make them happy and the others won’t need to worry about their text being cumbersome to read.
It’s a much more a usability improvement than something done out of spite. I would say the assumption about spite stems from your outlook to the world.
- Comment on Pla keeps balling up 5 weeks ago:
Ah, so the object slides a very little bit, causing printed filament to be in a spot where there should be none yet, which produces a tiny hill that might even slide another quarter a millimetre and gather even more filament on top of it, at which point the object to be printed touches the extruder?
- Comment on Want some advice on which filaments to use 5 weeks ago:
I’d assumeits biodegradation takes 5 years instead of something like 10 000 years of conventional plastics
- Comment on Absolute zero is almost always colder than sub-zero. 1 month ago:
This lead me to wondering: Do the Fahrenheit people talk about sub-zero as well?!
I had never thought of that possibility. 0 degrees is just generally cold, but -17,778 degrees is already in the area of “seriously cold”.
- Comment on These 3D Printed Ceramics are Insane 1 month ago:
Klarna can also be used for payments directly from your bank account. They probably didn’t have another platform for handling that internationally. Much nicer than using a bank card for the payment!
(Well, okay: That site has elected to disable that feature. I tried choosing Helsinki, Finland as delivery location and payment by Klarna, and all I got was this:
Kiitos kun harkitsit Klarnaa
Arvostamme kiinnostustasi fiksumpaa maksutapaa kohtaan. Valitettavasti joustavat maksuvaihtoehtomme eivät ole juuri nyt saatavilla tällä alueella tai tälle valuutalle.
Tiedämme, ettei tämä ole paras mahdollinen tilanne, mutta toivomme pian tarjoavamme maksuvaihtoehtojamme useammissa paikoissa.
So, they don’t want to use Klarna for what would actually be a fair and sensible thing, only for the bad stuff. Heh.)
- Comment on Pla keeps balling up 1 month ago:
Why does this work?
Or, more precisely: Why does the dirty plate cause this balling-up?
- Comment on Want some advice on which filaments to use 1 month ago:
If there’s any risk you might lose something you’ve printed while outside, it’s very good if the material is biodegradable!
- Comment on xkcd #3166: Big and Little Spoons 1 month ago:
A possibility does exist that I may, or may not, have read XKCD more than the recommended centennial dose.
- Comment on xkcd #3166: Big and Little Spoons 1 month ago:
If you’ve ever in your life tried sleeping the spoony way, you’ll know that there’s always at least one arm too many, plus a million other sources of discomfort (such as an untimely hardon.)
- Comment on How do I join lemmy communities from my brainbin account https://thebrainbin.org/u/TheracAriane ? 1 month ago:
When trying out mbin it worked out best for me to write the community’s full name (such as hitchhiking@sopuli.xyz) in mbin’s search bar. For some reason writing it on the URL bar didn’t work like it dies elsewhere.
- Comment on pwned: do you pronounce it as "pohned" "pawned" or "owned" 1 month ago:
Drop the u and o away from between and you’ve got it :)
- Comment on pwned: do you pronounce it as "pohned" "pawned" or "owned" 1 month ago:
I sometimes see people saying “pronounce it like it’s the name of a Greek philosopher” or “pronounce it as if it was Spanish”.
There’s a “p”, a “w”, an “n”, an “e” and a “d”. Say those in a row. “As if it was Spanish”, to make sure that e is really e and not i.
- Comment on pwned: do you pronounce it as "pohned" "pawned" or "owned" 1 month ago:
As it’s written. Pwned. No need to stick an extra “o” or “a” or any other vowel in between.
It says “pwned”, so “pwned” it is.
- Comment on You can only read this scentence if you can read this scentence. 1 month ago:
It hurts me that y isn’t th like it was in the past, or that x is not sh like it is in in Portuguese and Chinese. Why did they reverse those two in the otherwise excellent proposition?! :(
- Comment on What's the name of the early-mid 2000's song that sounds like Beyonce, starts with a "dun...dun... dun DUN!" guitar part, and the singer makes this "dabudabudabu" sound? 1 month ago:
Hm, yeah. Metallica does kind of sound like Beyonce, when you give it a thought! :)
- Comment on Why isn't the rest of the world doing anything about the USA? 1 month ago:
The same has happened in something like 25 % of countries, and they haven’t gotten sanctioned for that.
Most of our diamonds and cobalt and cocoa come from countries that have similar problems as USA now does. - Comment on If video games actually determined our real world behavior, we wouldn't be violent we would be obsessed with powerwashing and all have CDLs. 1 month ago:
And you sometimes pick one dandelion too many and forget how to walk faster than 3 km/h.
