Don’t take pics of random people minding their own business and post them on the internet for made up points?
- Comment on The emotional support dunkies 6 hours ago:
I know what you mean, but I get the impression that you and OP are using hate with different levels of intensity and specificity.
This didn’t feel to me like the ‘oh I hate Joffrey and can’t not see him when I see Jack Gleeson’ type of hate.
- Comment on The emotional support dunkies 6 hours ago:
Honestly, I kind of hate these memes for this reason, let the man just live his life.
- Comment on The emotional support dunkies 6 hours ago:
If you “hate” a random actor, then that’s kind of a you problem, and you should probably consider therapy, or at the very least, spend less time online.
He’s never done anything to harm you, he’s just lived his life. He may not be a perfect person but no one is.

Hot damn I want to see what modders do with this game.

- Comment on Judge in Epic v. Apple bans Apple from charging commission on purchases made outside App Store 1 week ago:
Lmao, the fuckepic and ‘Tim Sweeney is a bastard man’ sentiments were always wildly overblown.
The fact that anyone took Apple’s side in this case because the Epic game store paid for a couple exclusive games to try and break into the market is laughably childish.
Apple literally rips off the entire world to the tune of billions of dollars a year through app store mafia extortion fees alone, let alone the rest of their anti-competitive bullshit.
Epic was just trying to break into the Apple / Google / Steam monopolies and made a couple unpopular / anti-consumer business moves on a couple games, Apple has based their literal entire business model on anti-consumer choices and done that for every single hardware and software device they sell you.
- Comment on What OS should I use for self-hosting that doesn't require extensive terminal knowledge? 2 weeks ago:
This is literally lemmy, a (relatively) niche platform where somebody is asking about a (relatively) niche subject. I dont think anything about this is a average person.
‘Average person’ was in quotes because it’s the language to used to describe someone not comfortable with the command line.
- Comment on What OS should I use for self-hosting that doesn't require extensive terminal knowledge? 2 weeks ago:
I mean what’s the point of “self” hosting then?
If you have to be a professional server administrator to host one of these services, then why even have a self hosting community as opposed to just a hosting community for server admins to discuss how to set and configure various services?
- Comment on What OS should I use for self-hosting that doesn't require extensive terminal knowledge? 2 weeks ago:
Self hosting is just an extension of open source software. It’s only goal is being able to run your own backends of apps to not be exploited by major companies. It’s goal is not to be a niche technical hobby, if that’s your goal in its own right, then get a model train or a Warhammer set.
Mainstream consumers don’t know words “Plex” and “Home Assistant” either.
Yes, they do lol. It’s flat out weird to think that the only people who have ever heard of pirating are software developers and server admins who use the command line.
- Comment on What OS should I use for self-hosting that doesn't require extensive terminal knowledge? 2 weeks ago:
You’re viewing this through an incredibly skewed lense. The average person will never even consider self hosting nor will care, if anything the average person prefers cloud services.
The only lens I’m viewing this through is one that dares to imagine that the Venn diagram of “computer users savvy enough to care about privacy” isn’t 100% contained within the circle of “computers savvy with the terminal”.
Quite frankly your stance that the ‘average person’ doesn’t care, when this post is LITERALLY from an ‘average person’ who does, is the one that needs justification.
- Comment on What OS should I use for self-hosting that doesn't require extensive terminal knowledge? 2 weeks ago:
Notice that it hasn’t amongst mainstream consumers.
- Comment on What OS should I use for self-hosting that doesn't require extensive terminal knowledge? 2 weeks ago:
Self hosting is doomed until this isn’t the answer.
- Comment on Does anyone else hate knowing stuff and looking "smart"? 2 weeks ago:
Sort of, when you hang out with people who are less informed, it’s going to get awkward if you’re constantly just explaining stuff. Eventually everyone will pick up on the vibe that you know way more than everyone else.
But I don’t hate it. That stuff can be overcome by working on your self and social ability, often the wittiest people can slyly point out the folly of something someone said with a quick wry joke, and more importantly you can learn to just let stuff go and not always explain everything and instead focus on being a conversationalist that will just keep things flowing in a fun way.
Plus, then when you do hang out with other people who are well informed, you can have interesting deep conversations. And the world is a lot less scary and hard to navigate if you understand how it all works.

If you can’t imagine why this is bad, maybe read some Kafka or watch some Black Mirror.
Lmfao. Yeah, ok, there bud. Let’s get my predictions from the depressing show dedicated to being relentlessly pessimistic in every situation.
And yeah, like I said, you sound like my hysterical middle school teacher claiming that Wikipedia will be society’s downfall.
Guess what? It wasn’t. People learn that tools are error prone and came up with strategies to use them while correcting for potential errors.

Yes, they literally are. Or maybe you haven’t heard of human caused climate change?
- Comment on ‘You Can’t Lick a Badger Twice’: Google Failures Highlight a Fundamental AI Flaw 2 weeks ago:
But a) they don’t refuse, most will tell you if you prompt them well them and b) you cannot rely on them as the sole source of truth but an information machine can still be useful if it’s right most of the time.
- Comment on ‘You Can’t Lick a Badger Twice’: Google Failures Highlight a Fundamental AI Flaw 2 weeks ago:
My friends would probably say something like “I’ve never heard that one, but I guess it means something like …”
Lots of people would just say something and then figure out if it’s right.
The problem is, these LLMs don’t give any indication when they’re making stuff up versus when repeating an incontrovertible truth. Lots of people don’t understand the limitations of things like Google’s AI summary* so they will trust these false answers. Harmless here, but often not.
Quite frankly, you sound like middle school teachers being hysterical about Wikipedia being wrong sometimes.

Try this on your friends, make up an idiom, then walk up to them, say it without context, and then say “meaning?” and see how they respond.
Pretty sure most of mine will just make up a bullshit respond and go along with what I’m saying unless I give them more context.

There’s 17 full seasons of the UK version available for free on YouTube, and a lot of laughs.

Not really, laughter is often a result of surprise and your brain struggling to process an unexpected stimuli
