Predictions
Showerthoughts
I had no idea Reddit invented having deep thoughts in the shower 🙄, or making predictions
Am I the Asshole?
Yea they can keep that one
- Comment on This CEO laid off nearly 80% of his staff because they refused to adopt AI fast enough. 2 years later, he says he’d do it again 6 days ago:
So they could have held paint drying Mondays instead, with the same overall effect
“Every single Monday was called Paint Dry Monday” Vaughan said, with his mandate for staff that they could only watch paint dry. “You couldn’t have customer calls; you couldn’t work on budgets; you had to only watch paint dry.” He said this happened across the board, not just for tech workers, but also for sales, marketing, and everybody else at IgniteTech. “That culture needed to be built. That was the key.”
- Comment on A generation taught not to think: AI in the classroom 1 week ago:
I always saw the rules against Wikipedia to be around citations (and accuracy in the early years), rather than it harming learning. It’s not that different from other tertiary sources like textbooks or encyclopedias. It’s good for learning a topic and the interacting pieces, but you need to then search for primary/secondary sources relevant to the topic you are writing about.
Generative AI however
- is a text prediction engine that often generates made up info, and then students learn things wrong
- does the writing for the students, so they don’t actually have to read or understand anything
- Comment on Be fabulous 1 week ago:
Yup, it looks like generative AI + image editing after the fact
Image generators have trouble juggling multiple colors and patterns on clothing. It would be a weird stylistic choice to create that effect with image edits alone

Looks like one user has been doing the majority of the posting, they might not know that people have issues with imgur / of better options

TIL 😮

Oh is that what it was 😄
There’s an account that I haven’t used in years, which gets a “Are you trying to log in?” email every few months.
I got 6 emails at once the other day, figured it was the same junk

The other comment said “self-deleting”
For the past short while, one person has been creating and deleting accounts repeatedly. It hurts discussion because the threads keep disappearing. It’s harmful behavior that deserves to be called out
- Comment on People with no friends needs to get the fuck up over it 2 weeks ago:
Please grow the fuck up, leave people alone and do your own thing.
Why make this post then? You’re doing the same thing you’re complaining about. You can always just block content you don’t want to see

Generative AI “anatomy” diagrams gross me out almost every time. It has a similar effect as those old trypophobia images

- Comment on The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down. 2 weeks ago:
It does if one of the options leads to a successful compromise. Based on the comments on this post, it seems that this solution has worked for a lot of households
- Comment on The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down. 2 weeks ago:
Well rather OP is pointing out that there is a third option that both parties nay consider to be a fair compromise, and thus be more likely to agree to.
- Comment on The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down. 2 weeks ago:
I think the user meant to say “lid down”
-
seat down: easy for one group, slightly inconvenient for the other, unhygienic when flushing
-
seat up: easy for one group, slightly inconvenient for the other, unhygienic when flushing
-
seat and lid down: slightly inconvenient for both parties (but if it’s consistent then you can build muscle memory), and hygienic when flushing

There are lots of good suggestions already. If you want to explore how the different threadiverse platforms display your posts, look into Lemmy, Piefed, Mbin, and NodeBB.
kbin.socialno longer exists but the project has continued as Mbin. For fediverse discussion communities you have !fediverse@lemmy.world (on Lemmy), !fediverse@piefed.social (on Piefed), !activitypub@community.nodebb.org (nodeBB) - Comment on Findroid v1.0.0 with a complete redesign is here 2 weeks ago:
I’m looking forward to seeing if it snaps onto the play button after opening some content, that’s the main issue I had on Android TV
- Comment on Why is sharpedo blocked in image searches on DuckDuckGo and Bing, but not Google? 2 weeks ago:
So interestingly, slight misspellings will show the pokemon with a “Showing results for Sharpedo”, but if you click on that link the results will disappear. I also can’t find any other blocked examples with different made up words.
It’s weird, like it has been manually blocked

- Comment on BentoPDF is a self hostable, privacy first PDF Toolkit 2 weeks ago:
I only used Stirling briefly before I learned about BentoPDF, so I don’t think I can give a fair comparison. I picked Bento because it felt faster and “simpler”, and I prefer not having to worry about accounts/upload/storage.
Other concerns with Stirling:
- their new license
- analytics in the past: xda-developers.com/replaced-stirling-pdf-with-thi…

I’ll reorder it though
