- Comment on Australia wants to force cats to stay inside or give them a curfew because they are murdering so many other animals they are a threat to the country's biodiversity 1 year ago:
Okay, sure, but that doesn’t apply to the vast majority of cats. Your average house cat is much more a wild animal than a dog for example and it’s quite ridiculous to think they’d prefer being indoors.

From the cats perspective I think it’s quite uncontroversial to say they’d be happier roaming free.
- Comment on AI-generated child sex imagery has every US attorney general calling for action 1 year ago:
You made three claims:
-
Fueling the child addiction will harden the persons mental health problem.
-
One of the ways to help a person with such addiction, is to replace it with adult pornography.
-
Fueling it with more of that content won’t do any good.
I asked for a source for these claims because obviously you didn’t just come up with this yourself, so I’m assuming there’s some study to back these claims up which I asked you to provide, and instead you gave me a link that even you admitted doesn’t talk about any of this.
Also:
It’s obviously stated there is psychological help.
From the study you linked:
…healthcare providers must rely on data from international literature. These clearly demonstrate that simple psychotherapies do not lead to a reduction in the risk of reoffending. On the other hand, therapies such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and, even more so, the combination of CBT with pharmacotherapy targeting hormones, significantly reduces the risk of reoffending.

Then why do you link that if it has almost nothing to do with what we’re discussing here?
- Comment on AI-generated child sex imagery has every US attorney general calling for action 1 year ago:
You mind quoting the part where it talks about the role of adult pornography and how fueling this “addiction” makes it worse?
- Comment on AI-generated child sex imagery has every US attorney general calling for action 1 year ago:
Mind linking the study you’re refering here?
- Comment on It shouldn't be called ADHD; it should be called restless brain syndrome. 1 year ago:
It’s kinda crazy sometimes how I notice I’ve been thinking the same thought for minutes. I don’t think I have ADHD but probably ADD, my mind is just all over the place through the day but after a bowl it all just calms down. Kinda like a group of people organizing into a queue.
- Comment on Is it possible to have privacy in a modern car? 1 year ago:
How do these cars even connect to the internet? Can’t you just not let them? Obviously you can’t use the built in navigation or spotify either then but it’s not like you can’t just use your smartphone to that like I already do with my -07 truck

Like 4 to 5 times a year…?
- Comment on Tesla Full Self Driving Is Now 'End-To-End AI' 1 year ago:
What do you think was powering it untill this point?
- Comment on Tesla Full Self Driving Is Now 'End-To-End AI' 1 year ago:
For an autonomous vehicle without radars or LiDAR they do still drive pretty darn well. AI DRIVR makes really good videos about FSD on YouTube and love it or hate it, it’s quite impressive how well it does despite the the lack of these sensors.
- Comment on Apple already shipped attestation on the web, and we barely noticed 1 year ago:
If I as an adult still had my mom telling me that’s enough internet for today, and taking away my laptop, I’d hate it but it would objectively be good for me. This is kind of a similar thing. I don’t like that these companies fuck up services I like but there’s no denying that me leaving reddit for example was overall quite positive thing to happen.
- Comment on Looks like the stories feature for Pixelfed is currently rolling out on the flagship instance 1 year ago:
I’ve hardly managed to move my Instagram posts there and now they’re already rolling in the features I came there to excape.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Good. As it should be. This isn’t fixing any issue per se but atleast it’s a step into right direction. A paid service where the users are the customer, not the product, is the way to go. Obviously in Facebook’s case it doesn’t really matter because it’s not like you’re also paying to stop them tracking you.
- Comment on There's no way for teachers to figure out if students are using ChatGPT to cheat, OpenAI says in new back-to-school guide 1 year ago:
ChatGPT writes in very distinct style and it’s quite easy to tell by anyone who has played around with it. The issue here isn’t necessarily being able to tell whose cheating but proving it is the hard part.
- Comment on There's no way for teachers to figure out if students are using ChatGPT to cheat, OpenAI says in new back-to-school guide 1 year ago:
Yeah, I use ChatGPT to assist with the grammar in my posts here at times. However, I need to explicitly instruct it to only correct the errors and not make any other changes. Otherwise, it completely rewrites the entire message, and the language ends up sounding unmistakably like ChatGPT. As you mentioned, it’s immediately apparent because it has a distinct style, and no typical human writes in that manner. Like you said, it’s easy to discern but challenging to confirm. Additionally, with the right prompt, you can probably get it to generate text that sounds more conventional.
- Comment on People Are Increasingly Worried AI Will Make Daily Life Worse 1 year ago:
Let’s take a moment to appreciate how ridiculous claim you’re making here.
Every other technical innovation has made the average person’s life worse.
Washing machine. Let’s hear how that made everyone’s life worse.
- Comment on X, formerly Twitter, is now letting paid users hide their likes | TechCrunch 1 year ago:
Personally I’ve always considered a like to be more or less a retweet. I’m super picky about what I like because I know it’s going to the feed of my subscribers
- Comment on Kevin doesn't share though 1 year ago:
Fits my folding knife perfectly

Probably not. Screenshot seems to imply they blocked Elon
- Comment on X is working on ID verification, what’s next? 1 year ago:
Not 100% sure on that one but according to chatGPT - yes
As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, Twitter’s verification process typically required users to provide some form of government-issued photo identification (ID) to verify their identity. This was part of their efforts to ensure that verified accounts are authentic and belong to the individuals or organizations they claim to be.
- Comment on X is working on ID verification, what’s next? 1 year ago:
These posts seem to always fail to mention that this only applies to accounts that want the verified tag. I’m just as uninterested in sending them a picture of my ID as the rest of you but it’s not the most unreasonable thing to ask when you want a blue checkmark which by definition means that you are who you claim to be. Or atleast that’s what it used to mean.

- Comment on Coming to you soon... 1 year ago:
I’m fairly certain the term “blacklist” came before traffic lights
- Comment on Coming to you soon... 1 year ago:
I don’t remember which creator said it but basically by donating them even one dollar they’re profiting more than if you sit thru hours and hours of ads. I guess objectively one can claim the moral high ground by watching ads but that really is like tossing bread crumbs to a beggar.
- Comment on Small children are well known to be afraid of voids (closets, under the bed) in their sleeping area. Knowing this, why don't we design children's rooms to eliminate them? 1 year ago:
Maybe we don’t need to round every sharp corner we can find. I doubt anyone is traumatized for life because there was a closet in the room as a child.
- Comment on YouTube starts mass takedowns of videos promoting ‘harmful or ineffective’ cancer cures | The platform will also take action against videos that discourage people from seeking professional medical ... 1 year ago:
The fact that there’s debate about the efficancy of certain medicine doesn’t change the fact that we atleast have a relatively good idea about what doesn’t work. People like Steve Jobs would probably have a thing or two to say about that aswell.
- Comment on YouTube starts mass takedowns of videos promoting ‘harmful or ineffective’ cancer cures | The platform will also take action against videos that discourage people from seeking professional medical ... 1 year ago:
I’d say that claim is debatable
- Comment on This one-page calendar will change how you view the year 1 year ago:
I’m not learning a new calendar untill US implements the metric system
- Comment on Twitter is throttling traffic to websites Elon dislikes 1 year ago:
People demanding others to leave Twitter often seem to forget that not everyone has the same experience on that platform. If one wants to argue that I should leave to make some sort of a statement then fair enough, but to claim I should leave because it has now become something it wasn’t before doesn’t at all resonate with my personal experience. Besides the obvious UI changes I haven’t noticed anything else to be different. No one is forcing right wing/conspiracy propaganda down my throat there. My highly curated feed has the same content it always has and when I see something I’m not interested about I block it and it’s gone. Lemmy is way better alternative for Reddit than Mastodon is for Twitter.
