- Comment on Are you people all bots? 1 day ago:
There are bots. Some are self-identified and some even put ‘bot’ in the username. There are bots that just repost from Reddit, bots that post only articles from a specific site/publication—like the BBC bot.
There’s not as much use for Reddit-like karma farming bots because karma isn’t really a thing on Lemmy/piefed/etc. But, there are definitely bots that that post agenda-pushing content or SPAM pushing content.
I assume any account with only posts or extremely high post to comment ratio is a bot. I wish they would force participation requirements for posting.
You also have troll accounts and weird accounts that will make one controversial post and then ghost.
- Comment on LMAO too much ID tv here. If I wanted to bury a body in my yard, should I still call the hotline so I don't hit a gas line or something? I nominate this for stupid question of 2026 2 days ago:
If you hit a line you’ll be found out. Call the hotline dig the hole then install something like a clothes drying rack after depositing the body.
Make sure to put sod around it or a concrete pad otherwise it will be obvious that the hole was too big for the pole.
- Comment on I'm about to get fired. How do I make sure my next job is a better place to work? 2 days ago:
Make a list of all the things that went bad and turn them into questions for the interview.
For example, you say management is new and half the staff have left. Ask the new employer about turnover rates, how long people have been in their current position, how long with the organization, etc.
If they don’t offer it, ask to interview people in the position for which you are replying and people with whom you would work. Ask the how quickly they advanced, how the supervisors
Remember, you are interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you.
Don’t wait for them to fire you. Get out there, now.
- Comment on What do all the subgenres of music mean? How does anyone make sense of them? 2 days ago:
The best way to learn this is by listening to music.
- Comment on What does that mean ? 4 days ago:
Don’t worry about it too much. I don’t judge anyone banned from that community harshly. The mod is… overzealous to say the least.
I consider myself progressive and I’ve checked out the modlog there. It’s a bit much.
- Comment on YSK this is Edward Bullmore, one of the world leading expert on the human brain. He believes a lot of depression is linked to inflammation 5 days ago:
This is an AI generated SPAM account.
There was a Wazal1 account that got banned for this crap. He’s avoiding the ban with this account.
Report it.

The smarter move is to simply buy a coffee carafe.
- Comment on Are there any art programs designed specifically for mouse users? 1 week ago:
Mouse users? As opposed to what? Stylus users? Touch?
Any software that can be used with a mouse can be used with stylus or touch. Any raster art program made for a personal computer will have mouse support.
It’s not clear what you’re even asking.
- Comment on We should make some ai blocker working like sponsorblock 1 week ago:
The worst part is that alternative search engines like DuckDuckGo and Ecosia seem to return those sites more than Google.
Google has become shit, no doubt. But, it’s still better than the alternatives. I think we need something like Yahoo!, again, but curated Wikipedia style.
- Comment on Inside ICE’s Tool to Monitor Phones in Entire Neighborhoods 1 week ago:
For iPhones, Find My only works powered off by Bluetooth connections to other devices. Unless someone is scanning and tracking Bluetooth radios, they can’t track you.
The vulnerability in the article is about apps that send location data back to a third party who makes it available to law enforcement.
Mainly, this is a problem for people who give any random app access to location data.
- Comment on Tawny Newsome Gives Update On Live-Action Star Trek Comedy – “We’re Ready!” 1 week ago:
You’re right, parody is a better description than mockery.
- Comment on Tawny Newsome Gives Update On Live-Action Star Trek Comedy – “We’re Ready!” 1 week ago:
Has Star Trek jumped the shark?
ToS and TNG were always a bit cheesy but at heart they were morality plays and social commentary. I couldn’t get into much after TNG. I’ve been watching Strange New Worlds and it’s all right but the musical episode and some other bits were a bit too… campy?
But, a comedy? Is it becoming Galaxy Quest? The movie that mocked it?
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 2 weeks ago:
HBO execs are letting out a sigh of relief.
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 2 weeks ago:
“Let’s take the most recognizable software package name and make it something totally divorced from what the software is supposed to be for.”
There are probably people for whom Microsoft Office is the only desktop software that they use. There are probably many people in procurement that are going to scratch their heads and think twice about signing off on something that sounds like a flight simulator.
This is an opportunity for alternate office suites.

Maybe, they transitioned before the diagnosis?
But, it was the ‘80s…
- Comment on Nvidia insists it isn’t Enron, but its AI deals are testing investor faith 2 weeks ago:
I would say, “never trust a CEO who wears a leather jacket.”
I’ve know plenty of bikers, punks, artists, etc that wear a leather jacket. But, a CEO in one stinks of, “hello there, fellow plebs.”
- Comment on NVIDIA Puts 100-Hour Monthly Limit on All GeForce NOW Subscriptions 3 weeks ago:
6.5 hours per day every weekend does not seem reasonable or healthy to me.
Hell, if someone was exercising that much or fishing or knitting or any hobby, it wouldn’t seem healthy. Once in a while, sure. But, not every weekend.

And of course, he’ll probably be hungover on my birthday tomorrow.
Jesus, that sucks.
- Comment on Visa says AI will start shopping and paying for you in 2026 4 weeks ago:
Now, you may ask. “How is this different than autopay.” Well, for one, you no longer would have to configure your autopay with every single company, you just do it with your bank or cc company, making it more centralized and convenient.
But, that’s how I’ve been doing autopay for years. My utilities send the bill to my bank. My bank gives me the option of automatically paying it or logging into the bank and clicking a button.
This existed before the latest AI craze.
- Comment on We Won't Be Covering ModRetro Products Moving Forward 4 weeks ago:
Trademark law would apply. Tolkien estate never used or even registered them as trademarks.
Another comment mentions Droid phone. In that case, Lucasfilm had registered “Droid” as a trademark.
- Comment on I was diagnosed with early onset dementia and alzhimers. Is there safe guards I can put it up so I don't screw or kill anyone? Like who do I contact about being denied to own a gun? 1 month ago:
Do you know anyone that you trust unconditionally?
You should assign someone durable power of attorney so that they can make decisions and manage your finances. Start planning medical and care decisions right now.
Otherwise, why do you think you would buy a gun? That’s not really common among people with dementia. Does your state have medical marijuana? Get a medical marijuana card. Most places, that will disqualify you or make it difficult.
Make sure someone is getting you evaluated regularly. Mental illness is also a disqualifier for gun purchases. A dementia diagnosis won’t necessarily disqualify you, though (except in Hawaii and Texas).

Buy her just a pair of slippers. Make the wrapping really extravagant. Act indignant when she isn’t impressed.

Man, I thought the crypto and AI tech bros were bad. The robot tech bros are going to be worse. If human the first human-like robots are waifus, I’m out.

Lemmy seems to have this problem. I’ve seen people added as mods who had no say in whether they were made a mod.
- Comment on Scientists Created a Bulletproof Material 3 Times Stronger Than Kevlar—It’s Already Breaking Records 2 months ago:
The cm0002 account makes a ridiculous amount of posts. Either it’s a bot or someone with way too much time. It’s not organic sharing that some people—myself included—would want social media to be.
And they keep making the same accounts on different instances. I’ve blocked close to a dozen of this account already.
